For all the people saying that the raid will become easier at level 85...

How are we supposed to gear our toons once we get there?
Most of the required gear is only available in the new raid. Sure, I've bought some galactic gear packs to try them out and realize that I can farm the new gear from shipments, but in order to gear the 4 or 5 teams required to beat the new raid, I'd probably have to spend months refreshing the bare minimum and saving crystals for gear. For other less fortunate people than me who can't get 500 a day from arena, that could be half a year's worth of time given how slow T6 of the raid is.
That is the main concern I have with the new system. Even if they wanted to keep T7 the way it is, they should make T6 farmable enough so that people can actually use it to gear their toons for T7. Right now, it's a classic Catch-22

Highlighted the important bit for you.
You know perfectly well that making it like this to begin with is a blatant cash grab.
Its going to
A) take months of leveling/gearing/modding a deeper roster
Problem: both scenarios will lead to a loss of playerbase. Its getting shorter everyday. The horizon just keeps getting farther and farther away.
@BentWookiee Yes, but any energy you use on the tables is energy that could be used to farm stun cuffs. I need stun cuffs to build a deeper roster in order to raid better so there's still that catch-22.
Also, there are several pieces of gear that do appear to be raid exclusive, which gates several toons out of gear 11. Im not opposed to events that cater to whales and hardcore gamers, but I am opposed to events that cater to that crowd that gate you out of things you need to progress. There has to be a line between grinding and validating or the majority of your player base will get frustrated and quit.
In all games choices must be made, that is a big part of strategy. Where do you use your resources and when.
Agreed. I am about to quit already. Another pay wall very difficult to pass, and impossible for our guild
+1
Easy for a whale to say. I've been staying competetive for a long time. My roster is pretty deep, but then I can't even take anywhere near 10% of Grevious' health. Any progress I make will barely affect my performance in this raid. It takes a month (that's being generous) to max out a character from scratch. Everyone I have who is worthwhile is maxed.
There is only so much I can spread my resources. I can't farm cantina characters and mods at the same time. I also can't farm new gear if I need stun cuffs, stun guns, thermal detonators, etc.
I was hoping for some progress with the new raid. Now I have to start new characters from scratch who are useless outside of this raid.
All that aside, this raid is way too tedious. It needs a nerf. Sorry Team Instinct, but this favoritism towards the 1% of players needs to stop.
So guys relax and stop overreacting.
It's all milky honey and gravy after second week.
If still a problem...contact this guy for crystals deliverys.
This....when I started playing I had 14 friends/coworkers playing. Now there is just 2 of us left playing. I love my guild or would be gone already.
Tank raid is fun but **** is up with the T6 difficulty. I mean I could understand T7 being hard for a few months.
Nope, there's bugs in P1 of raid that is sucking the fun out of the experience.
Report it...
They can't magically fix everything in the blink of an eye, just look at stealth.
If the T7 raid stays the way it is, then fine, whatever, we'll have to gear up and coordinate to beat it. But T6 having 200 mil hp isn't gonna get better in a week or 3 months down the road. That's my main concern. People will have to either join whale guilds, join large 150+ guilds and guild hop their way to victory (looking at u guys Order 66
Just gonna put this conspiracy theory crafting out in the world: They laid the groundwork to fix stealth and have it ready to be fixed but before they do they will slowly make racnor harder with the "fixes" that come out until they "fix" stealth. Started with 5s and health based attacks. Also seems a little harder to stick a thermal donator but maybe I was just luck before.
And stop caring so much about those 1% hardcore players. They are in a separate league than the great majority of the players who are casually having fun here. If you envie the way the hard core guilds progress, their dedication and need recognition for your achievements when you play this game, then just join one of these guilds, they always recruit.
The need for the deep bench is strictly to get Kenobi. You can stay competitive, honestly more so, by ignoring the raid entirely. Focus on just your main arena team while everyone else is dividing their resources.
You better make sure your team will be able to take out Kenobi when he shows up, though. Think about it: if Kenobi is no threat to your team then you get to build up your main 5 while everyone else wastes their time.
Sorry but he is too shiny and new for logic at a time like this
Thanks
I understand. I'm glad I don't feel that way, but I understand
But also I reckon he'll be amazing at 5*. He only needs health and he'll have it at 5*. Who knows if they will release other beastly toons before then, but it looks to me like you can build some crazy teams around him. Ive been going empire since palp arrived, I reckon i might focus on Jedi and empire toons from now. Buff team that attack together and dark side debuff team.... Just gotta wait a couple months now....
Saving up gear is always good, and you should be able to go in your own direction and stay successful, but I think he'll make for some amazing teams and it's definitely a strong option to try get him. A lot of people already have good toons to build teams around him already as well. And his kit is so good he'll do a lot on his own. He's a beast as of right now
His leader looks like it applies to Ashoka's special, that could get scary...
