Vader - what's the real plan here?

Predian

If achievements and random shard shop appearances are really the only way to star Vader, it's going to take 2 more years for that. That seems silly. Vader is the most popular character in all of star wars lore and we shouldn't have to be inferior to use him. What's the plan? There's got to be something coming to accelerate this right?

i would hope so too!

I think the real problem is that Vader's basic attack hits slightly better than Barriss... He's Vader, he should be awesome.

DarthMegaBex

Nope, Only other way to get more shards was when the game was released and that was a short time. I wish they would have just used the achievement system to give out certain characters for progression and made Vader an event.

Completely agree

They just need to add more achievements and add more levels to the current achievements. Example: There's a reward for getting 1M credits, one for 10M credits which is broken so most users won't receive it, and then you don't get another reward until you hit 100M credits. They should add in Vader shard rewards for 25M, 50M, and 75M credits.

They should change the gap between some of those achievements like this guy said

And add more like completing 100 Agility challenge, and so on

He's supposed to be a long term goal, but it shouldn't be that you have to wait 2 years to get him! More achievements need to be added. I'm at 204/1000 arena shipments purchased. Even if I get rank 1 every day, i won't get it till the end of December! Now that's fine and all, but his achievements shouldn't be year long. Instead of 10 shards for 1000, how about 5 for 500? Break the achievements down to more manageable sizes, to be something worth grinding for. I feel like I'm grinding towards my retirement at this point.

Im fine with the long term farm, as long as hes OP at 7*... he better be

Nonemo

I'm a little disgruntled since I need to wait for my Vader to hit 6* before I feel ready to bring out my Empire team. Feels almost impossible to actually get a solid Empire team going at this point.

Noktarn

I've got a 7 star Stormtrooper/RG and 5 (almost 6) star Vader team. 5 star Tarkin, but just doesn't bring enough to the table.

I've tried quite a few attempts at the team.

Also farming up Magma trooper but unfortunately I feel he's ganna be better in other teams.

Tarkin as lead gets some toons pretty fast. The best build I found so far was Tarkin (L) (just for the speed boost) which makes Vader go before IG-88 for the AOE/Dot synergy.

The turn goes like, Vader, Tarkin, Stormtrooper, Magma trooper then IG-88 usually.

Even then tho, it barely gets enough people into the yellow. Then the whole team just falls apart. Tarkin just can't land any of that turn meter stuff. I would love to make the team work but IDK man... need to see this magical defense update. Using Stormtrooper with RG makes for some great defense. Against Quigon teams he can't keep the taunts down. Enemies hit Stormtrooper, lose some turn meter, then RG activates in response.

There's just no DPS in the mix unless IG-88 AOE turn goes perfectly. No way around Yoda, tho. Lumi heal also just resets all your DPS and you are stuck with basic attacks after turn 1.

I hope they don't change a thing...Vader should be the toughest and longest character to obtain. This isn't little league baseball were everyone gets a trophy and everyone makes the all star team

You mean I wasn't special for making the team? I've been living a lie.

Hard to get? Sure. But 2-3 years? That's just dumb. Who plays the same game that long?

Ravenclaw

I hope he hits harder when he gains more * if not he will not be worth using and I'd love to use him but ever time I face him in Arena he is a weakling high health but no defense so his health drops fast.

2-3 years? How do you know what their plan is for Vader...How do you know he isn't gonna be in the daily log in again? Plus you can get him in the shard shop....God forbid there is a very tough toon to max out

Smapty

It will take a tremendously long time to get him to 7 stars. If and when he is ever maxed he won't be so incredibly OP that it makes him worth dragging it out for so long to bring him to that point.

I use him in my empire team at 5 stars and he is pretty solid but I would love to think that I might be realistically be able to get him to 6 stars before Christmas. More rewards for added achievements would suffice and still make him difficult to get to 7 stars but not to such an extreme that it is currently.

I've been playing a text based rpg,since 99. Some even longer. People play long time. You are like my son. He hops from game to game and doesn't,understand why he isn't as powerful especially when I don't p2p. (he's 9)

Inside scoop for a new challenge they're planning:

What you need is Jedi Anakin and a squad of clonetroopers. At level 80 he'll unlock a 'turn to the darkside' ability and you'll have a new challenge available to you. In said challenge you and your clone squad will march through as many battles within the Jedi Temple as you can within 5 minutes, each containing more and more younglings' ripe for the picking. If you get through 10 levels you face the final boss:



Once he's defeated, your Vader will instantly go to 7* and your Jedi Anakin will now have no arms

That's a sacrifice I'm willing to make...

Give in to your hatred of grinding achievements for months for 2 more Darth Vader shards!

Don't be an (expletive deleted). I never said I wasn't as powerful. And there are some games that stand the test of time but that's pretty unlikely to be this one. The long road to Vader is just too long in this case.

Do you want everything handed to you on a silver platter? If you want vader quicker, then pay up. Otherwise, enjoy the grind!

MediocreJedi

I don't even want to think about what it will take to get him to 7*. I've been stuck at 79/80 shards for a week just to get him.

The people on this forum are so,funny. They complain, gripe, whine, cry, demand, call for nerfs, call for buffs, but keep coming back and try to make others see their dissastifaction and agree with it.

Its like going to a restaurant and hating the food, but still going back and telling everyone how bad the food is but still ordering off the menu when there are 50 other restaurants they can go to

**** socialists

Kaib

I don't think it's impatient to want to find ways to play your favorite character faster than grinding it out for two years. Vader at 7* wouldn't be OP now, let alone after the cap raise. Why delay it?

I also agree about Vader's base damage. JC does as much damage as him. That's silly. It wouldn't make him OP to give him a base attack damage boost.

Perhaps, just perhaps, wait for the meta update before forming opinions

Agreed. I only have 3 achievements left to get. 1 is 500 arena wins (I'm at 350ish), and that only gives 2 shards, 20 crystal and 150k in credits. The 2nd is 150 GW completions which gives the 2nd most of any achievement is 5 shards, 300 crystal and 150k in credits. Last is 1,000 arena shipment purchases and it gives 10 shards, 50 crystal and 50k in credits.

They need to increase the rewards given for some of these achievements. It would show that they actually appreciated their loyal customers bc some of the achievements take at least 6 months, while a few like the ones I have now can take up to 2+ years. What do you get for staying with this game for TWO YEARS... A measly 50 crystal, 50k,and 10 Vader shards.

An increase in the amount of achievements is also needed, as said in the quoted post. With only the 3 achievements I listed above left, and purchasing every Vader shard offered in the shard shop since it's release I have a 5* Vader with 26 of 85 shards until 6 star. So it's not possible to get 6* Vader unless they would have to really up the amount of him they offer in the shard shop.

After his defeat to Obi-Wan, Anakin had one arm but no legs.
