Hey Iceman:
I'm a part of a small but active guild, and we're at a point where we can't find new members and we're too small for the higher level raids or challenges. Would we be able to merge our guild with the GAF guild as a group, even if some of them aren't GAF posters? If so, should I just post their ally codes?
You can get Rey shards in guild shipments, so that will help you with that. QGJ, Lumi, Leia, RG, Daka and Geo S are all useful in most if not all modes. Any of the p2p characters I can't comment on since I don't have them. You can ask questions in guild chat about things and more people will respond. I mainly bumped the thread to see if more people were looking to join the guild so we could replace players that quit.
How many total players are you talking about? Depending on the number we might need a few days to check over the roster to remove the members that have completely stopped playing.

It's a guild of 22, but we probably don't need a home for all 22.
I think we have about 5 empty / inactive spots right now. Just post any IDs of people that want to join and you can keep a list of the other ones should spots free up

swgoh.gg is a really cool tool if you sync your account there. Pretty happy with my Empire character progression.

New Ewok Assault event is really fun!
Tier 1
https://youtu.be/C2LWoU89ELQ
Tier 2
https://youtu.be/SxUVBYM8YEA
Thoughts: Very fun! The Ewok Scouts are very low health but very high damage. I used Tarkin lead at first because that's what I use in Arena, but Vader lead is definitely the way to go for this event. I actually lost Tier 2 on my first attempt because I kept trying to single out the revived scouts, but you have to ignore them and take the hit while you focus down the Elder. AOE is king.

Ability block/Stun is pretty important for this event. If you can CC the Elders, you can blow up/AoE the scouts and not worry about them. 4th round just kill both elders at the same time, 8th just kill the elder ASAP. You can use the defensive ability to manipulate turn order pretty well.
(EDIT) forgot to mention, but droids makes this pretty easy. HK47, 88, 86, RG, Vader. My vader is pretty undergeared and my 86 is the only one with any raid gear.
I sent everyone an ally request / guild invite. I was unable to invite you to the guild because it shows you as being in a guild and blocks out the invite button

I'll leave my current guild today when I get off of work and will post here once I'm out.

They really messed up GW. I am 0 for 3 this week.
My best team at full health wouldn't be able to take down those 2 teams, let alone after a challenging level 6 and 11.

I keep my best 3 teams for the last battle now. Put out my B team to hopefully take out a toon, then my C, and finally my A.
These days cost me lots of crystals.
I was tempted, but I fought the urge myself.
Only needed 5 more shards for Ahsoka level 7, so I can wait.
I wantred to farm Lando shards, and unlock Boba fett for the Scoundrel event, so it worked perfectly for me.

Official response:
Unofficially people rumored the event was not making money / getting players to spend crystals like the omega events that replaced it. Also, people online were very hostile about the rewards of the event. Kit Fisto event and people were getting 1-2 JC or JKG shards. Some people said the event was a decent source of money if you refreshed. I didn't see Kit Fitso shards worth it so I have no idea.
At the end of the day this is a game that revolves around getting players to log in and stay active as much as possible. The more you are on the more opportunity they can try to get you to buy things. The event was most likely a failure to generate users and $$$. There had to be some background data that made them remove it and switch in the omega events that weekend rather than just let the event run its course. Any quick turnaround like this is usually related to user feedback on the app rating / players not spending $$$.

I ended up just saving 1400 crystals and bought the stupid Stun Cuffs.
Yes your guild coins earned stay with you
Whatcha got? I have level 7* 77 Lando, 7* 76 Cad, 3* 70 Dengar, 3* 45 Greedo and 5* 62 Boba
ANd beat it fairly easily. Those two that are a bit higher are a big help though
Most of mine are low stars. Level 70 4* Chewbacca, 5* 70 Lando, 6* Cad 70, 4* Boba 66 and Dengar 3* 61.
Dengar and Boba don't have protection yet, that's hurting a lot.

Got a nice kick in the nuts for my first post patch GW
Always a welcome sight
Mods have (already) largely killed my interest in this game. For the moment I'm still logging in and doing stuff but they are way way way way broken right now.
On one end you have PvE stuff, which becomes silly. I survived for a truly stupid amount of time against the Rancor this morning.
On the other end is the PvP stuff (GW/Arena), and there are no winners there. At best you are equal with all the other people who spent a lot of credits to get a fully decked out party with mods around your level. At worst they have better mods and you get crushed. About the biggest benefit it can have to you super-short term if you pass a bunch of people in Arena who can't afford the mods yet. And conversely it will suck for you if you are the one who can't afford the mods.

Just accept that GW is less fun than getting kicked in the genitals repeatedly. You'll be a better person for it.

I got excited for mods, and then I remembered that people with tons of crystals and money to burn are going to quickly fill up with MK5 mods in all slots and everyone else is either going to be stuck with mostly MK2 or MK3 mods for at least 2 more weeks...and then I saw just how broken they were.
The reason I thought they looked like a great idea was because they're a nice power boost that can be attained quickly (unlike most things in the game), they can help you over come a character's weakness instead of just being another linear progression path and they're something for people who maxed a character out to do on that character.
On top of that they seem to really just make every character much more durable which seems to make fights more interesting, the problem is GW will now take EVEN LONGER and be even harder and people without mods will get thrashed by people with mods. Not to mention mod farming is going to get expensive and it's going to take a while to get good mods for every character.
Mods are seriously too strong at the moment, my main team went from having as much hp without protection that they used to have with protection. Getting a full set of level 15 mk 2 mods on a character makes them feel like they've grown by 10 levels or some shit...
I feel like if EA was smart they would have gated the rank of mods, so that in 3 weeks we would finally have access to MK5 mods. But no that's not gonna make them money.

Had the exact same thing happen to me first night of the mod update. 11th node of GW I faced a team that had a Rey with 19k HP and 44k protection. Was able to one-shot my G10 Teebo with over 45k HP + Prot.
Mods are out of control and now I see they plan on making changes to them in a later update? But for right now they're changing the drop rate so they don't drop 100% of the time. Which means everyone who took advantage and modded before the update this morning have an advantage.
It's been fun guys, but I think I hit my breaking point. I dropped from the guild and deleted the app. I donated any gear I could for people with open donations and spent all the energy I had 1 last time. I left my Darth Vadar alone as my arena squad.
Best of luck to you guys and if anyone plays on xbox you can always look me up. Cya

I'm thinking of switching my free to play grind to Star Trek Timelines.

Peace out dude, it's been real! You were always a helpful guy to have around.
I think I am going to massively drop my play time to just daily activities and that's it. Probably won't even bother to complete a GW or all 3 of the arena dailies.
The micro grind is just becoming too much. I'm thinking of dropping it too. I'm not there yet but I find myself playing less and less every day.
Thanks for being a part of it with us, bro.
GW is insane now. The last node is kicking my butt. I don't have a single level 80 person, yet I'm fighting 5 with maxed out mods and high level gear. It took my 2nd and 3rd teams just to kill one person. And my credits are so low, I can't advance the mods or use the training droids I earned with challenges today
I have stopped playing the game. You can remove me from the guild roster if you need space.
The game has simply gotten too grindy. I was already feeling the credit crunch, and the unpleasant pressure to finish GW every day to keep up with upgrade costs, before this most recent update added yet another layer of grinding to the game. Mods don't feel like the have given us anything new (more passive stats, woo), but that they are just another hurdle we need to grind past to get our characters to the competitive level they were before the patch.
I spent less on the game than others, but still feel embarrassed that I spend ~$30 on crystal subscriptions. What a waste.
