Guild News - Vol 3


Welcome back to another edition of HanSoloShotFirst guild news.  Here are some quick hit topics for this week:

Territory Battles - Round 3/4: We are starting to hit a groove when it comes to Territory Battles.  At the same time, we're stuck at the same star level for the past few rounds.  Here are some high level thoughts:

  • We hit 18 stars the last two times, but failed to get any in the last round.  I would recommend waiting to deploying until you hear from a guild leader.  Also consider using your higher power teams for combat missions in territories we have the chance of hitting the GP requirement in.  This is especially important in the later phases.
  • Platoons are key to later phases.  If we fail to fill 2, 4 or 6 platoons, we leave ourselves very vulnerable in later combat missions.  Think about platooning if you don't believe you'll be able to finish a combat mission.
  • Focus on GP.  I've already listed a few tips to improve your GP in the past few posts.  GP is crucial to our success in TB.  It's also how our guild is rated against other guilds.  If you noticed people joining and leaving our guild, it might be driven in part by them looking at our GP.  GP is something that everyone can help make a dent in!
  • More coordination is coming from guild leadership.  We may assign a guild leader to coordinate a phase of TB.  This would mean they would tell you where to deploy, and might even include looking at people's rosters so we can fill out platoons. More to come on this.

Remember, TB is meant to be a guild event.  We all share in the same rewards at the end.  Consider what is best for the guild when you begin each phase.  

HAAT Raids:  We have a high-priority goal as a guild of completing a Heroic AAT raid.  Here are some thoughts on how we might achieve this.

  • It requires a higher level of coordination than AAT.  We have been killing AAT raids with little, to no coordination.  Moving to HAAT is much harder than AAT.  This will mean we will need to tell people when to attacl and when not to.  This is so we know how much of the tank is left as we try to fight it.  Consider adding your squad to our spreadsheet, found here.
  • Speaking of squads, here are some recommended squads for phase 2 and 3:

These are just a few teams to focus on.  We also have more teams found in #haat_raids thread on discord.  Reach out to a guild leader if you need advice as to where to put your resources into.

Game News: The dev thread on SWGOH's forum recently posted several updates coming to the game.  This post was filled will great news and some hints at what's to come.  Here are some highlights:

  • New territory battles!  For everyone that was upset that light side was featured in TB, the word is there will be a dark side one coming in the next few months.  In addition, they're working on a guild vs guild territory battle type.  Should be interesting how they implement that.
  • Nightsisters Rework: Nightsisters are getting a long overdue rework.  This will mean new characters coming out later this month.  Think of the event as similar to when they introduce the new Ewok characters.  That means you won't need all the Nightsisters to unlock the new characters.  Again, this is the rumor at the moment. 
  • The Last Jedi Characters:  There was two notes in the post that led people to speculate that we most likely will be seeing a lightsaber Rey coming in the future.  Expect Rey to be renamed to  "Scavenger Rey", with a possibly legendary event to unlock the new version of her.  Also expect in November to have a few new characters introduced as they get ready for the movie.
  • R2D2 Event Returns:  The R2 event is coming back Oct 26th.  Some people believe this might be a lead into getting another Commander Luke Skywalker event, but given it was 6 months from when the first Thrawn event happened and the latest, there is not much to tell us this will actually happen. 

If you want to read the post yourself, you can find it here.  I also like to look at the event calendar, found here.

Pro-Tip of the Week:  A site I've been using a lot lately is SWGOH.life (http://www.swgoh.life/farming.html).  I used it primarily for their farming tool, which allows you to estimate how long it will take to farm out a character to a certain level.  Having a way to know how long the farm will take helps me to plan out who I will be working on and decide where spending my energy and crystals on.  There are other tools, so post in the comments if you use it for anything else.

Feel free to comment below if there is any additional content you would like to see!

Guild News - Vol 5 - Galactic Power!

Today's guild post is dedicated to discussing Galactic Power (GP) and its importance to the game.   There are plenty of resources out there on GP, but I figured I would consolidate a lot of the information into quick hit items you can do to improve your GP.   First, let's talk about why GP matters. GP is the way that you as a player is evaluated for your ability to improve your collection of characters.   It also is how our guild is evaluated against other guilds.   The higher the GP, the better standing you and the guild has in the game.   All the new guild events (Territory Wars, Light Side/Dark Side Territory Battles) offer higher rewards to higher GP guilds.   GP is influenced by the power of your characters and ships in the game.   With that in mind, here are some simple things anyone can do to improve their GP: ·         Upgrade all characters to a minimum of level 53.   This allows you to use mods...

Guild News - Vol 2

Welcome to my second guild news post.   Rather than write a big post like last time, here are some quick hit items. Territory Battles - Round 2:   We finished round two of territory battles, getting 16 stars again.   We've learned some important lessons each time (as well as the game devs), so hopefully round 3 that starts today will yield more stars.   Here are some quick hit things to think about as we see TB more often: Farm Phoenix and Rogue One! Join SWGOH.GG so guild leaders can try to coordinate Platoon Missions. Listen to guild leaders as to where to deploy.   Without this, we will never get more stars.   There is plenty of time to deploy, so look in the #territory_battles thread on discord for info on where you should deploy. If all else fails, ask a guild leader over discord what you should do.   We're all very responsive to questions. Improving Galactic Power:   An important aspect...
