SWGoH Update: An Imperial Threat Rises…

Don't hold your breath for a rework of old toons... Not enough money in that.

Most of the time, when they launch a new toons, there's 2 or 3 reworks

True but still I may have a bad after taste of the tie reaper. 2 3 star toons that I can't quite level up or the ship. And the u wing was suppose to be in a tournie and released like this. Shard wise esp for jyn great and all the material. Just think ships like that should be 5 star so they can at least get people to challenges.

The good news is while you may have these characters at 2 or 3 stars now, getting Cassian and K2 to 7-stars is no longer an issue given you can buy shards daily for free in their respective stores.

Let's talk about how Sidious, Maul, Savage and Dooku made them rich with a 20euros pack each. Let's be serious, this was something that really give them money, more than 20 bucks for 5 shards. Players are getting bored of paying that much for pretty much nothing. Packs are better for so many things : they're kind of a booster, that gives you an alternative to farm and they're cheaper. For exemple, the U-Wing Pack = 260 shards for 40 euros. That represent 6.5 shards for 1 euro.

So, please, rework bring them more money because people think it's a better option for them, so they buy this more easily than what you can imagine.

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.

Maybe. I think they would have to release more ships first. And if Death Star - I see a hybrid of ships and reg toons. If true I feel bad for guilds again.

Why would you feel bad? I see it as nothing but a good thing for guilds. I can't wait for the possibility of a ship raid!

The AAT raid, for better or worse, caused a MAJOR disruption in guilds. Guys leaving and/or members being booted or shuffled in order to put together heroic-ready guilds. I would imagine a new ship raid would probably do the same.

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.

Not sure that they would. I would think that they would recruit to form even bigger super guilds if the prizes were strong enough.

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.
