TB Update: Phase 4

Please focus all your forces on the northern Forward Trenches grid on Phase 4. I'll finish off the Phase 3 Power Generator to the south with my alt. Good hunting, everyone.

Artist of War Legendary Event: Isn't it Grand!

In case you've been busy and just plain missed it, in roughly two days you'll have the opportunity to earn that rare and illusive hero, Admiral Thrawn. Ahem, Grand Admiral Thrawn.


Remember, you'll need a Phoenix squad to participate in this event, so start to ratchet them up if you haven't already done so!

TB Update

Great work so far, everyone. Same basic strategy for this next Phase: Earn 1 Star on the northern grid, then focus on the south. Good hunting!

TB Update: Phase 2

So, we've managed to earn 1 Star on both the Ion Cannon and Overlook grids. At this point, earning the requisite TP for 2 Stars on either seems a long shot.

Therefore, if you've yet to engage in Phase 2, your focus should be on filling out platoons on either grid to the best of your ability. Remember to take cues from Ryer, our Platoon Leader, who has done a fantastic job. So be sure to check in with GC.

Good hunting everyone.

TB Update

Under Ryer's watchful eye, we absolutely crushed Platoon assignments on Phase 1. Nice work! As for Phase 2, our general strategy is the same. Attack the northern grid first, earn 1 Star, then attack the southern grid.

If you happen to have a strong Rogue One squad, feel free to hang back until after we earn that 1 Star and move to attack the southern Overlook grid. Rogue One characters are required for the Special Mission in that grid.

Good hunting.

New Territory Battle

Well, this TB certainly crept up on us! We're only in Phase 1 at the moment, so this wide Rebel Base grid is fundamentally FFA (Free For All). That said, Ryer Grogan will act as our Platoon Leader from now on. This means that Ryer will give all directives that concern how we should assign heroes to Platoons 1-6 for each Phase.

So, make sure to check in with GC, as well as this blog, for information. Remember, those Platoons are important. We not only earn battle abilities, but added TP as well. Additionally, if you haven't read about this past abandoned Pit Raid, please do so below. I'll be sure to pin that post, since it's likely to get buried with TB information posted here. Good hunting, everyone.

Abandoned Raid: An Explanation

I've been trying my best to get everyone on board with Pit Raid and Territory Battle coordination for the past several weeks. Some of you have responded wonderfully, for which I thank you. However, there still are a number of guild members who don't check in with Guild Chat regularly and don't check in with our blog. Unfortunately, this has led me to abandon the latest Pit Raid.

Yes, it was a waste of tickets. And for that, I am sorry. But, sometimes this kind of thing is necessary, if only to get everyone's attention. So, before we head into another Territory Battle or murder another Rancor, I need a couple of things from all of you:

1) Check in with GC and this blog as regularly as you can. When I sign in with my alt, I tend to see the refreshed Guild Header in orange block letters at the bottom of my screen. I can't imagine it's different for any of you. Please give this message your attention.

2) In the interest of fair gameplay -- and especially in the interest of guild community -- give the Zero Damage Rule video for Pit Raids a watch. Follow this rule. You can find a link to the YouTube video on Zero Damage in the sidebar under the header Pit Raid Overview.

More specifically:

1) Ryer, we still haven't talked at length about Territory Battle coordination. The ball's in your court, bud. When you have the chance, please do drop me a line in response to my latest email. I don't want to make any decisions without you.

2) Budder, please email me at your earliest convenience. My contact info is in the sidebar. I'd like for you to oversee all Pit Raids in the future -- as you fundamentally have done so far -- but that will take at least one conversation to coordinate. Whatever we decide, we can then pass on to everyone else in the guild.

All of this being said, if any of you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. And I do understand that backchannels can be an issue. Games such as SWGoH go to great lengths to maintain the anonymity of each and every player. I created a gmail account just for SWGoH. I invite you to do the same, if anonymity is indeed a concern of yours.

Lastly, in an effort to make sure that everyone has at least read this post, please give even the briefest of shouts in the comments below. Generally speaking, I can see how many visitors this blog has at any given time, but to whom I need to reach out specifically is often a mystery. Thank you all.
