HOTFIX 2037 - Empire Jump Trooper Bug Fix - Discussion Topic

[Spock]

It's a "bug" that Disney never would have corrected, but Zynga corrects because they don't have the same history with the game.

Rebel speeder bikes and v-4x-d speeders have this same "bug."

Imperial speeder bikes fire both cannons at the same time, for 2 shot count in 875 ms. Rebel speeder bikes fire one cannon, then the other cannon, for 2 shot count in 1750 ms, reducing the dps by a factor of two.

They might have corrected it if they took the time to find it. They didn’t tho. Zynga did.
If you feel there are other bugs that should be investigated then I encourage you to point them out to the developers.
They seem willing to investigate and fix bugs. That’s a good thing.

Have you advocated to Zynga for any of these bug fixes, changes or additions you've listed that would benefit rebels?

Yes. I have suggested all the changes I mentioned in this thread to them.
A skin for Luke on par with the Vader skin. A buff for Han. More options to gain eatte frags and equalizing all turrets across both factions.
More than once to be honest.
As well as suggesting they reconsider the crystal cost to speed cook prestige troops as well as a no op option for matchmaking.

I hope you have also advocated for these things.

Buffed Luke Skin that shit’s troopers, make Bursts equal =

With the Luke skin, I’d buy all the frags to max him immediately. It would take me as long as it took to open the crates to have Him prestige.

How much more clearly can I say it, “Zinga Please take my money.”

Frankly, I haven't got the time. I barely have time to play the game, let alone the meta-game of trying to get changes past customer support.

Not saying anything is ok because you have better rapids.
What I would say is that Luke needs a good skin.
Han needs a big buff.
Eatte frags need to be more attainable for rebels.
Turrets should be equal for both factions.

I don’t think anyone has ever said this was a beautifully designed game.
Most would agree it’s terrible. But we have always seen the potential it has to be one of the best.
Might be one reason why we stick around. Hoping one day that potential will be reached.

I praise your words, buddy. I don't believe I keep playing this game after five years and still appreciate it even with all the bugs and glitches.

And since Spock is kind of a big deal with the Devs, I just wanted to suggest that they remove Solo's vanguard syndrome, and instead of turret killer he hunts shields, and after destroying the shields, destroy turrets. The only decent unit available to destroy shields is the Jug and it is 20 UC which makes it unviable for mid-level players with low transport space, as Ithorians and eATTE are rare in the game and ATAP is rubbish.

Captain Solo is a beast when used at high levels, but the vanguard syndrome can make him more annoying than usefull.

And we could bump the thread for Luke's buff and see which ideas are best to send to the Devs. Rebels need a buff for Luke since the devs made the mess of giving R2 the buff, when Imperials got the Vader buff +2 years ago. The buff needs to be very good to compensate for all this wait time.

I’m sorry to hear that.
Again I do encourage you to try and make the time (or exchange your forum time for 1 day) to write a quick email to zynga to support these changes if you want to see them happen. You have a strong understanding of the stats and I think you could articulate your points with great finesse.

Thanks for the updated video.
I can see that both jet and jump took the same amount of time (10s) and shots (5) to destroy a transport. (previously video showed 8 seconds and 4 shots for jump, because the bikes also shot the same target).

We could start new thread dedicated to discuss how to fix the rebel heroes. Get some fresh input and ideas.
Changing the Kessen cook time was a good start and WAY overdue, But that was only a small drop in a big bucket.

[DarkRebel]

There is one thing that folks overlooked, is that jet skin still gives higher boost than jump skin.
At L10: jump skin adds 162%, jet skin adds 188%, 26% more than jump skin, both damage and health.

The video posted by DS used unskinned units.
