Re: Problems with SWGOH

It's been awhile since I've posted anything on this forum and the game is still the same for me. I've unlocked new players but I'm still going through the daily grind of trying to progress and it's still a fun game and aggravating when you lose a lot. I've said many times before that the only areas of the game where I can score is Galactic War and challenges but what I noticed is when your competing in Galactic War you don't stand a chance against Phoenix Squadron. When I'm facing all of the Rebels characters together it's impossible to beat them, the game gives them so much power and abilities that no matter how hard I hit them I'm losing all my players. I love Star Wars Rebels and miss them but I can't defeat them in the game. George

    @1975George I checked your account and it looks like you haven't really upgraded any significant characters in the two months since we last spoke.

    Have you been using all your energy to farm gear/shards, upgrade your units, and increase your level? Plus, are you completing the daily activities each day? Just doing that will give you at least 100 crystals per day that you can use to advance your account.

    GladOS-13 I've tried my best to upgrade my players as for completing the daily activities I can't. When I go on daily activities it's sending me to fight in Light, Dark side, Cantina, Mod battles, Squad Arena and so forth. I can't go any further in those areas because of where I am right now because it's to hard. Like I said before the only way I can I score in those area also is going back to the easy levels of the game. I'm sorry for aggravating you by saying this but I've been playing this game for almost 2 years and theirs still aspects of it I don't understand. I do understand I'm not going to make much progress unless I promote my players which I'm been trying to do. George

    @1975George To complete your dailies, you absolutely should be doing the easier battles. It does you no good to constantly fail at battles you aren't strong enough to complete. Instead, find a node that you can complete that contains gear your characters need. Sim that node repeatedly until you have enough gear to upgrade a character. Repeat for several other gear, until your characters are all higher gear level.

    The game is designed to have different plateaus of power level - and it sounds like you have reached the max that you can achieve with your current gear. The solution is not to keep trying and failing, but to go back to the ones you can complete, and farm the gear and character shards you need to upgrade your team, until you're ready to tackle the next tier.

    Same with Galactic War. There are 12 battles, but it's structured like 4 quadrants, with every 3rd battle being much harder. Get as far as you can get, and then reset it and start from the beginning the next day. Just maximize your rewards, and use those rewards to upgrade your team, and eventually you'll be able to beat it.

    I was just playing Galactic War and just like Squad Arena I think it cheats!!!! Or I'm just being a sore loser, I took down Boba Fett 3 times and he keep coming back and taking out all my Imperial characters of Darth Vader, Moff Tarkin, Imperial Tie Fighter pilot, Stormtrooper and Snowtrooper!!!! Then I faced a squad consisting of Lando Calrissian and Princess Leia of Original Trilogy, Stormtrooper Han Solo, Cad Bane and Biggs facing my best players of Farm boy Luke Skywalker, Jedi Consular, Talia, Clone Wars Chewbacca and Hoth Rebel Scout. And they all got blown away without doing much damage, so then I faced them again using my least powerful players before bringing in what's left of best players and they also were blown away without even firing a shot!!!! After that I decided to bring in Phoenix Squadron and when the game started I was down to 2 players before firing a shot or swinging a lightsaber!!!! I retreated because I felt the game had given this squad of bad guys to much power and abilities. All I have left of players before I have to restart Galactic War is the Rogue One crew but what's the point they'll just get blown away like the others before I can do anything. I know I'm sounding like a sore loser but I can't help it.

    @1975George  Hi George, the game doesn't "cheat." Boba Fett starts the battle with a buff called Bounty Hunter's Resolve. Whenever he dies with that buff, he is revived with 100% health. Whenever he kills an enemy, he regains Resolve.

     

    Additionally, when you lose a battle in galactic war, the enemy team "saves" it's current status - including health/protection values, skill cooldowns, and turn meter values. Therefore when you attack with a second squad, all of your team starts at 0% turn meter, but the surviving enemies all start with as partially filled turn meter bar, which means they will almost all go before your team. This is why your team was mostly dead before they got a turn.

     

    As I've said several times, your Roster is VASTLY under geared. At level 65-66, your top characters are expected to be around gear level 8. Looking at your roster, you have one g6, one g5, and a few g4, then everyone else is g3 or below. You also have no characters above 4-stars.

     

    You need to go back to battles you can win, and farm character shards for your roster, and gear that will increase your character gear levels. Swgoh is a resource management game - energy, gear, shards, crystals, credits, ship building materials, and the various currencies (e.g. galactic war tokens) all need to be earned, then  reinvested in your roster so you can earn more resources.

     

    I’ve attached a picture of 12 characters, ranging from g1-g12, so you can visually identify the difference. There’s almost a order of magnitude difference in character effectiveness at EACH gear level. Don’t expect to beat squads that have much higher gear than you.

    How could EA ban AhnarldT101?!!!!! What's wrong with you guys for account sharing and not cheating!!!!! This guy has been on YouTube for a long time helping people on SWGOH and talking about new players and you ban him?!!!!! It's travesty and miscarriage of justice!!!!! All of us Star Wars gamers stand united to protest this unfairness to AhnarldT101 and demand his reinstatement!!!!! George

    GladOS_013 I need to talk to you, I was playing Galactic War again and I'm trying to level up my players and get them extra stars as best I can but what happened now I couldn't believe. I was facing a squad with Bossk and Jango Fett and I managed to take out the other opponents except for them!!!! Bossk and Jango were at level 53 strength and I'm currently at level 71 but most of my players are at level 60 and so forth. I used every player a had to take them out and I couldn't make much of dent in them!!!!! This is insane that I couldn't take out 2 players because I feel the game was cheating and giving them to much power and abilities!!!!! I had these similar problems when facing the Phoenix Squadron but I managed to learn how to defeat them. Again every player I had blasting and hitting them with lightsabers and I couldn't take out Bossk and Jango Fett!!!!! This is soo unfair!!!!! I know you'll say my players are under strength and gear and again I'm trying but this shouldn't have happened that 2 opponents could defeat all my players!!!!!!
