Why are we automatically assuming that every novelty in this game is just about introducing a new character? Game contents don't age well, and while both Raids and ships were awesome additions when they rolled out, that was months ago, and something actually new would blow some fresh air into gameplay that is sliding slowly but surely into not much more than simming, autoing or otherwise mechanically repeating the same routine every day.

Maybe this message is about a much awaited ships raid / event (what about blowing up a big flying globe of a weapon)?

We did not automatically assume it was just new characters (even though that is a safe assumption). I also mentioned a rework of Tarkin.

My own drop dead date is may 5th. If there's not something new to break the monotony of the auto, sim, farm, grind repeat I'll be done. A new raid or revamped tournaments would be appreciated greatly. Not just more new charachters or ships to add to the grind.

Death Star ship raid for May 4th update, please! Rewards being ship shards, including the unfarmable TIEs, Falcon, Cas's Uwing, and Command shuttle. Would fit well with the Rogue1 release, and fit with the timeline for Phoenix squad as well.

Not enough ships to make a raid for them yet. Nobody except the mega whales will have enough ships (and their pilots) levelled up enough to make more then one fleet, especially with the capital ships taking double the resources to level, I've only just got 9 ships and 1 capital up to 85, some of those aren't 7* either and you generally need 7* to attempt heroic currently, so ships need a huge amount of further content and investment before they are ready to have their own raid. If the aat raid is anything to go by then the next raid is not going to be as simple to beat as "1 squad per guild member"

That does not mean they cannot do a new raid yet, it just means that we cannot (likely) beat a Tier 7 version of it. Big difference IMO. Kind of like Vader shards in the beginning - you can't just get them anywhere. If they make a hard ships raid there may not be a Guild in the game today who can beat it, but we can all start at the Tier 4 (4-star) level and actually progress.

I think what him and I were getting at, is that assuming they keep the same 7-star requirement for a ship raid; there's not enough access to the ships to 7-star them and a good chunk of the population is still sitting on sub 7-star level ships. As of today there are only 3 ships that can be farmed via nodes and then GW shipments which are completely random. Then there's Fleet Shipments of course but even that's random as to what's in there and they compete with zetas too.

In prepping for regular raids, all of the characters you really needed were available via one of the stores and that mix of characters is always the same or available via Cantina or Tables. EA would have not have a 7-star requirement for ships but maybe just level 85 instead.

It would be cool to have some extra ship content at some point but I don't think the community is ready or can even get ready in a timely manner for such a raid based on current standards.

I don't think community like ships enough to ask for a raid....i personnaly don't. I'm only doing my fights to get zeta.

I'm right there with you, don't care enough about ships for a raid. But it's probably not fair to lump the community in that bucket with us. If EA had better ways to farm ships I might change my mind but as long as ships compete with Zeta's, I will probably never farm ships through Fleet Shipments.

Don't want to get the community whit us, but; i have several post about how ships battle are lame etc...

But , with this being said. My opinion, if they want to bring ship in raid form, ship battle could be only one phase of the new raid. This way, ppl that love ship will have their candy and hater won't be that much mad because it's only one phase on four

That

+1

A really good idea @Moicaliss !

And I hope they buff existing characters like Tarkin instead of just introducing new ones

This is why I like the idea of guild vs. guild better, before a ship raid at least. No idea how they would compile a tier chart for it or who goes against who. I also think the bigger-whalier guilds would be at a disadvantage.

Personally, I dont like the idea of guild PVP much, people get way to competitive over a fun game and it kinda ruins it for the more casual or intermediate players. Hell thats how SWFC got ruined IMO. Too many people getting worked up over some shit prizes that werent really worth it in the end. But then again i suppose there are a lot of people in GOH that want to see more competition introduced so I guess i'm just rambling lol

Haha that's what forums are for. Ramble on. Who knows what comes next but I think we can agree that something is coming. So many different ways to focus on this game. Raids, arena, collection etc. Find what you enjoy and go for that.
