Naboo Raid...
I want to start that I loved the Naboo raid at the start. It was a fun new puzzle to figure out. But several months on now I must say this is probably the single biggest chore in the game and I fully dread every week when the raid starts now. So the question I would like to ask folks is does anyone even still like this raid. Does anyone even remotely find it fun or engaging content to do every week? Visually it is great and then theme is spot on to the movie with the ground and space pieces so it is great in that aspect. I have 4 teams built: Gungans w/jar jar at r7. I have QA and bros at R5(still taking to R7) I have Lumi, Kit, KAM, Plo, Qui at R5 I have B2, Maul, Sidious, IG-100, droideka at R5 It literally take me 2-5 hours every week to remod and run multiple attempts becasue of the crap rng or the stupid healing is just crazy strong and if you can't nuke a char in a single turn it will just be full healed and that just means you have wasted valuable enrage and time. I am sick of it. I have played 2 accounts for over 3 years and I would regular spend on both(not kraken or whale but conquest passes and crystal packs). I have fully quit my second account about a month ago because the raid is too much effort and time to spend every week. The only positive I see from this raid is that gungan omi lets me press auto but even that isn't a sure thing and sometimes have to restart it over because of droideka shield crap. One of my biggest issues is that from the very basics of the raid design it is built as a giant F U to the player base. Not only is every tier gated behind gear requirements forcing you to bring up relics. Even after you hit that gear you have stupid high mod checks after that too. I'll admit I don't care much for mods so don't invest much in them but even after bringing a full team to R5 which is a big investment if you don't have really good mods then you are not clearing or max score. The double whammy of reqs is a slap in the face from CG. One or the other, either make me gear or put crazy mod checks but to add both and then still have a lot of RNG is just bad and it makes me not want to engage with the game nearly as much. especially when you add in having to deal with conquest being an absolute chore and slog to get through it really adds up to hurting the game experience. Why is one attempt with my Lumi squad hit enrage in wave 4-5 but then other times I hit max score with only 80% enrage. That is far too much of a swing when using the same mods and overall strategy. LOTR HOME had the exact same issue, I loved the raid at first it was great fun with unique phases but then there was so much rng that I was spending hours and hours retrying for that perfect RNG that I just quit playing(funny enough a week before the closure announcement because week over week there wasn't any real improvement. If you kept gearing you could bump up a tier maybe but then it was still just an RNG fest and there was never a feeling of improvement because extra gear just resulted in the same phase but bigger numbers and still RNG. Thoughts? am I isolated in this?
Naboo Raid - Open Letter
Dear CG I invested a ton in the raid. R7 or higher on a ton of characters. I can max score every tier I am eligible. But that's where you completely failed on his raid. There is so much RNG, the raid is simply not fun. Speeder bike felt like a chore, but it if you got your mids right and your strategy down, it was easy to get to a good enough score. However, with Naboo, you can spend hours just trying to get a good run. I was within 500k of a max box, and i dont want to do this raid anymore. I want to keep pushing because i want to help my guild but at the same time, i don't have the time to invest in this anymore and need to stop. Press auto, score 300k submit. That's where this raid is going.
Naboo Raid - Jedi Consular kit update
Hello Darth CG and fellow Holotable Heroes, For the lucky few who took JC up to high relics for ROTE ops, we were very excited to use those Ops Jedi for this raid. Unfortunately, they are little better than filler (Eeth and JC). Bummer. The faction bonus for GR is great for the raid, but unfortunately again... there was a swing and a miss, JC lead GR jedi have no way of applying heal over time to capitalize on the bonus true damage if you are already using a Lumi and Kit Jedi team separately - which almost everyone is. My suggestion - tweak JCs kit to include passive HOT with a unique or to buff HOT with both or one of his specials. This will bring more use to the raid toons and allow for more enjoyment in an already rigid event that has a frustrating amount of RNG associated with it. This would at least give us the Pot Up from the fleet bonus that grants locked buffs. BUT if you were feeling froggy and wanting to extend a gesture of good faith to the player base, add both Pot up and HOT to JCs kit in some way. Rooting for you guys to make some quality of life updates for this raid. Still holding out hope. Best wishes and MTFBWY, A very tired guild leader - Stor #saveNaboo #maketheraidgreatagain #throwusabone #itsokaytomakethingsfuntoo CG_Meatheadshot in the dark if you see this or choose to reply, but if you could advocate for us on the raid, that would be UH-MAZE-ING, I think this would be a great move. CC: EA_Rtas or if you could pass this along pleaseDid the game remove full auto?
Whenever you go to auto now it only lets you do auto basic attacks because of an interface glitch on mobile devices. This wouldn’t be a huge issue if there were more sim options available… but trying to force us to manual all the ROTE missions and the new raid is absurd and a complete waste of time. will this glitch be fixed for mobile devices?
The RAID PROBLEM and how to FIX IT.
At the end of 2022 CG announced the Krayt Dragon raid and the new age of raids in SWGoH began. Each raid has 9 month of relevancy then they go to dust and are never seen again, which is a shame in my opinion, mainly because any investment you had in that raid also goes with it. The biggest problem with that is that these raids asks for really trash tier characters and raid omicrons as well, and these are become completely useless after that raids 9 month expires. Next year we gonna get the 4th new raid. Based on where is game is progressing or what's hapenning in SW in real life people can only guess whats the next raid is gonna be about. My guesses are that with the new GL Ahsoka and potentially GL Thrawn, we might get some sort of Peridia raid, based on the Ahsoka show, or Force Awakens is gonna have it's 10 year anniversary, so some sort if sequel content and raid for next year can also be possible. With that 4th raid next year I think it would be the perfect time to introduce the raid rotations. Just for the explonation I'm gonna use only 3 raids. So your guilds starts the Naboo raid, 3 days, it's done everyone gets their rewards, then the game locks the raid. The next time your guild starts a raid, the Naboo raid is locked, you can only choose the Endor or Krayt raid. Let's just say your guild does the Endor raid. 3 days, it's done, everyone gets their reward, this raid is also locked now. The next time your guild starts a raid, can only choose the Krayt raid, and when that's done, every raid is unlocked and this cycle starts again, in any order your guilds chooses to do so. Obviously the current reward system would be applied to every raid, so everyone could get the mk3 material as well. It would be the perfect way to respect everyones investment in the raids and not just the Omicrons but also the high relics that people do for trash characters. The players would feel safer to invest to the raids, knowing that any relic or omicrons that they spent on the raids would be useful until the game is around. Obviously the legacy raids wouldn't be a part of the cycles of the new raids. Any thought?
Naboo raid portraits
Can you please change the portrait of the b1 commander droid to be easily distinguishable in the turn order graphic? Have him mirrored, so his head tilts the other way, or something? I cannot see the difference in my phone. I guess he's got a slightly more yellow head top plate than the rest, but I just cannot see it. Deciding if I want to use Plo Koon's aoe, or yoda's spread buff move (as a couple of examples) is just a guessing game at the moment, or a test of memory and keeping my eyes glued to the commander to see if it take a turn (or was that an assist?). Pretty please? If anyone has noticed an identifiable feature, go ahead and show how stupid I am being and point out it to me. Thanks
Help!
A group of me and my friends started playing SWGOH on when it came out on PC. However, we're struggling getting people to join. It feels bad missing out on things/slow income due to missing a lot of people. If anyone is willing to join and just have a fun time, we'd greatly appreciate it. New players, Old Players, and even alts are welcome! We just need you to play the game. Our name is PC Only. Don't take the name seriously if you're on mobile only. We just thought it was a funny name since we started to play on PC. Thank you for taking the time to read this post.
12 days and counting
12 days ago Meathead made his post about the raid difficulty in the “lower tiers” was being investigated. two weeks later we’ve received absolutely nothing. (they made sure to patch the B1 glitch asap though) knowing they have plenty of data. All they have to do is play T0 with a G12 squad and see that they can’t even put up 20k.Raid strategy
Raiding, the ultimate test of team strength. Some suggestions... If you have Vader, use him! I used Vader on attempt one for over 13000 damage and the second time after using escape. With the door down, I did 13 grand the first time and 16667 the second time which was more than 5 ppl together could do together. Vader did a total of about 70000 damage! Secondly, If you have a healer left, use your strongest characters ( Vader, Rey, maybe phasma) first, escape them and then heal and reuse. The problem being that I've used them right off the bat all together before and after a certain amount of damage the Rancor becomes enraged and just eats them so I think there is a limit to how many times you can attack him before he is enraged. (If anyone knows, please speak up) Does anyone have any tips to share. They would be appreciated.
