- 3 before I got pissed at how hard I was working to get meat off the bone and threw the serving container at the kitchen staff. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 21, 12:23 8

    - Heresy. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 21, 12:35
  - ditto. it's a lot of effort for meager, vaguely pleasing morsels. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 21, 12:26
  - It's the only way we've figured out how to slow you down! -- nm - Reagen Mar 21, 12:24 4

  - I'm at #87 with no battles left. I already spent 50 crystals to get to that point. So, if someone knocks me out, I'm done for the day. -- nm - Inigo Mar 21, 12:15
- I have found that I have better luck staying at 100. As in if I get 99 or lower, someone challenges me and knocks me higher. - Spawn Mar 21, 11:59 4
  - But how often does #101 beat the guy at 95 and drop you out of the top 100? -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 21, 12:00 3
    - YOu do not rise or fall one space. If someone beats you, you trade ranks. -- nm - Spawn Mar 21, 12:01 2

- Huh...i'm stuck around 1100 with Level 60 Mace (7*), Consular (6), Luminara (6), Bariss (5) and the named Nightshade healer from early - Will Hunting Mar 21, 11:43 8
  - Do you have Admiral Ackbar leveled? If you use him with your healers, you'll get a lot of more damage out of them. - Inigo Mar 21, 11:55 7
    - I used him for a bit and he would get crushed too easily -- he's like a 4* at the time. - Will Hunting Mar 21, 11:59 6
      - Yeah, he has to be leveled. Even now, no way I use him the arena though. -- nm - Spawn Mar 21, 12:00 5
        
        He gets crushed at higher Arena numbers, but I think he'd help Will with that healing rebel crew he has. -- nm - Inigo Mar 21, 12:01
        
        What is your core team? - Will Hunting Mar 21, 12:01 3

- heh. I hate Arena, but love the ships battles -- nm - decline Mar 21, 11:39 4
  - Ship battles are so annoyingly random. I just hate them; that I have to waste 2 minutes a day letting them fight so I can get my daily rewards. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 21, 11:45 3
    - I am sick and tired of Tie Fighters that simply will not take damage. Like, they have no shields and I can hit them with my entire fleet and they take - Spawn Mar 21, 12:08 2
      - The ship AI does seem pretty badly tilted in the automated player's favor. I swear they have Zeno's health bars. - Baronspringa Mar 21, 12:21
      - I had 3 ships (mine so I'm not complaining per se) in the red. I got hit with Tarkin's wave of fighters - Will Hunting Mar 21, 12:17

  - I don't see Canada joining this based on nothing. -- nm - Reagen Mar 21, 11:33
  - It has that feel, unless it's based on agreed best practices implementation from a recent conference attended by the acting countries. - Max Mar 21, 11:29 6
    - Moving way too quickly to be a simple upgrade. This screams reaction to something found or something learned. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Mar 21, 11:30 5
      - I'm leaning more and more toward intelligence but non-specific threat. i.e. they knew what AQAB wants to do, but not if they can achieve it yet. - ty97 Mar 21, 11:33 4
