    Now I have been told that the personal reward track is PER CHAPTER. So this may add up in terms of gold/XP , and I suppose if you're able to max this out you could get up to 24 gandalf shards per week. But, until Nov/Dec it's going to be pretty slow. I still personally feel that this game should have been AT LEAST launched with Chapter 1 of raids.

      That would have been nice, but it took them until this last patch just to fix the correct currency being displayed on each screen. Obviously released a bit too soon as it was.

      Given the current point requirements, it's only the krakens who would even have a chance of maxing the personal reward track. Dolphins maybe get a shard or two of they're lucky, FTP won't get close

    The worrying thing about the game economy, is that it strongly suggests no one on the dev team is actually playing an account to keep them aware of the player experience. They don't seem to be even remotely up to date on how out of sync things like gold, xp, and certain gears pieces are vs average player requirements

    Thank you for posting your Discord and reminding us of the necessity of being in a full guild for that. I was in a guild with 11 members left, then posted in your Discord to find another guild. Now I am in a (Canadian, I think) guild that is either full or nearly full, with 1.3 million guild power *no clue how good that is).

    Totally agree with you - Love the game and really excited for the Raid- but this is a total train wreck and could unfortunately be the last straw for a lot of people - Being raid locked on those essences is despicable - choosing between essences (which you now absolutely need for Tier 9/10 gear to get higher difficulty level raids) and Gandalf is so shockingly stupid - Now I Totally understand the disdain the community holds for CG- the content will hopefully be cool but the power level requirements are a joke, and the rewards are going to disappoint everyone from FTP to the Whales - So embarrassingly sad

    • @kamixakadio2441

      Being raid locked for core gear is a way to ensure that Whales wont have a gigantic advantage over F2Ps in terms of gear 9 and 10, atleast not directly.

  • @sirnobody835
    @sirnobody835 Год назад +3

    Honestly the conversion rate from purple essences to galdalf shards is basically irrelevant, because you cant get mithril currency anyway. It wont be available from guild chests until at least chapter 3 is released, and you have to get an average score on your five attempts better than a maxed difficulty 3 score to get any on the personal track and difficulty 4 suggests a 45k power team...how many people have that for even one team let alone 5?
    This game has been so horribly mismanaged the only reason any of us are still playing is the sunk cost falacy or the IP.

    I'm with you on Halbarad. Besides, what good is he anyway if you don't have essences to gear him ;). While he is good, he will be power crept quickly.
    Halbarad makes sense after blue essence gear becomes redundant.

  • @toxicteapot7941
    @toxicteapot7941 Год назад +3

    The suggested power on raids is really throwing me for a loop because the star upgrades didn't boost power, just stats. So 3.0x worth of stats from 6 star is the same power as 1.7x pre-patch, but the stats are much higher. Thus, my 3K+ power units are much stronger, but my 2k power units are exactly the same.

    • @meglobob9217
      @meglobob9217 Год назад

      I think the overall power number is bugged (remember every patch introduces new bugs a constant feature of CG), so its no longer a good guide.

    Original Raids in SWGoH had RANDOM awards for each guild member. Fingers crossed for shard drops every raid (not fun). I don't play SWGoH anymore, so I'm not sure if there are equally set rewards from the Krayt Dragon Raid, which is what I hear these raids are more modeled after. According to the wiki, the guild gets equally awards from the highest guild chest earned by the guild at the end of the raid.

  • @austintibbetts2127
    @austintibbetts2127 Год назад

    In swgoh, the raid system is exactly the same. Every box gives a certain amount of mk1 MK2 and mk3 raid tokens and every person gets the same amount for the guild box. You then spend those on the rewards you want.

  • @meglobob9217

    A guild needs to get 286 keys per day to launch 1 raid every 7 days. My guild of 36 in 24 hrs has got 225, we are not going to be doing 1 raid per week, more like 1 raid every 10 days! I suspect the majority of guilds in HOME will be exactly the same or worse.

      They need to add at least another 3 keys to another daily quest, otherwise majority of guilds doing 1 raid every 10+ days not 1 per week. Every guild gets players who will not get there daily keys!

  • @ruleoftwo6117

    SWGOH it's a fixed reward of 3 different types of tokens. You get more tokens as you go up boxes. You then use those tokens to buy gear and/or character shards. I have to assume this will be same. But the randomness is supposed to be gone.

    kinda curious if they are trying to slow down everything cause they aren’t ready with the content. Everything feels rushed/not finished.

    I've been playing swgoh since launch. This is nothing new. It's how CG operates. Everything going on right now is exactly how swgoh launched.
    This raid structure is far better than what they were doing (better than msf, in my opinion, too). Is it good? No. It is better, though.
    If they would have launched with the old raid format of rancor, AAT, or ST everyone would have gone ballistic. Only spenders had any chance of getting shards in the beginning. Now, at least, with them using the format of the Krayt dragon raid, everyone can control their shard chance even marginally.
    Honestly, HoME is just fine to me because I knew what to expect.

      This isn't going to change. It may be a different dev team but it's the same company with the same marketing strategy.
      Personally I'm here because I'm a Tolkien fanatic, and just like swgoh this is the only real game in town. And just like with star wars they know they corner the market and can do almost anything they want.
