Huge Modding Mistakes You're Making + How To Get GOOD at Mods! | Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes

What's going on my friends, happy Saturday Cubs family? We're here for another happy Star Wars Galaxies video and we're here to talk about everyone's favorite themed

mods

. Now, when we talk about modifications, it's very easy to say, "Oh, you know." It's one of the trickiest parts of the game, but I brought in an esteemed community expert to talk about

mods

today and do a bit of a Q&A and go over what are some of the big

mistakes

people make with mods. . How can you guys improve mods and talk about all this stuff related to mods and that expert is bothering us?

What is happening in my case? How are you doing today? Yes, absolutely, so what? So tell me you really like other experts like pimp oh you. They are doing remodeling services for people where people trust you enough with mods to give you their account and let you completely blow up their mod, so how long have you been doing this and how many accounts do you have? I had the opportunity to modify at this time. well, I

star

ted doing this about January 2019, okay, a little over a year ago, it's great, probably in total over a hundred counts, I'd say it's okay, including the full list of magnets and the specific green awning of the event.

Wow, okay, so you've had the opportunity to actually look at over a hundred accounts, at least you don't have an exact number, it seems, but throughout the year and I understand that you're pretty busy and I think you said you're in the faculty of law studying for the bar. Recently, okay, I took a little break in the last few months, so you're an analytical mind, that makes sense that mods are your thing and since you've been able to log into so many different accounts and see people, I'm sure that From all ends of the spectrum, from the crack in side of things to the more free side of things, what do you think, in your expert opinion, are some of the biggest

mistakes

you see people

making

when modifying their ace?

They mod their equipment well, there are probably a few of them, yes, one of them, first of all, I would say neglects mod synergy as the highest value in mods. You know, everyone tells you that speed is the most important thing and I'm not going to sit back. here and I try to say that speed isn't important often because it clearly is, however there are other important things that you need on top of that or that can save a mod even if it has low speed and that's really looking at the synergy of the mods. sets with the primary stats and the secondary stats, so just as an example, you have a critical damage triangle which is a primary critical damage set and it lets you know the quick attack chance and the attack percentage and the secondary ones, it doesn't matter whatever the speed is in that mod, which is a great mod for any attacker you know, since the goal of an attacker on a team is to deal damage, how do you go about putting as many offensive stats on the character as you can and the same?

On the other end of the spectrum, with a tank, you want all those defensive stats, all those secondary defenses that everyone complains about and you see, you know, just video after video saying, "Oh, the defense is garbage, the defense is rubbish, it's not really because it's going to improve your tanks much." It's harder to take out and any character that needs survivability, like an old farmhouse countering a GG team for example, yeah, defense works great, it's very useful, so I think things like that are Big mistake to overlook other important stats, so it's like I could.

Summarize what you just said, speed is absolutely important, we understand that everyone knows that, so if everyone knows that speed is important, if that's the only thing you focus on, you'll be like everyone else, but if you focus on those other stats besides speed. and maybe sometimes catch five speed to give an attacker more offense, then you'll be ahead of the curve now, how do you know McKay Asst? When you watch as an attacker, for example, you want an attacker to have a

good

offense, how do you know? How much speed is it okay to sacrifice to give the attacker more offense?

Well, I mean, there's a little character that has a specific role and so sometimes you'll have a character that has turn meter generation built into his gear, like Yoda. Yoda, yes, so the turn meter is independent of the speed version. No matter what the speed is, the turn meter is going to go up and you're going to get a lot of turns, so that's a point where you just want to build up that offense and you can have like Little You Know, 30 extra speed or even less and still it's better, sure, it would be nice to get some extra speed too, but you want that offense that's on attackers like that, sure, for other characters to keep going, I just said there are others. characters that don't have any kind of term meter manipulation or that don't have assists or countermechanics, so if they're not going to take attacks without speed, then you know you have to balance it correctly because otherwise it's pointless.

If you never take a turn or deal damage here is an example of this so you recently logged in and did a rework on my account and here is my Yoda 37 speed added to my Yoda for mods it is much slower than my Yoda before , but his special offense up to 7,000 129 and you also managed to make it look like the critical damage triangle on him, which will be right here and even some tenacity there, which I'm not sure if that's the set you were going for, but look at the offensive in the triangle or in the arrow, still, there are interesting things to think about now, what do you think we talked about speed and other statistics?

Would you say that after speed, offense and critical damage are the most important stats or not? just each stat is important, it's just a matter of which character does well. I think if you are looking to dive into mods and want to

star

t slow then you should focus as focusing on offense is number two. Most importantly, it makes sense because we eat it often, we like it, and because you need your attackers to do damage to kill things and win battles, but there are other things that are very important in context, like a more dependent team like Palpatine. team, you need to get your stuns, you need to get your D upgrades, that's how team works, that's how you control opposing teams, so power becomes extremely important and having high-powered pocong secondaries and not neglecting them is becomes very important and you know.

I have other cases like a high tenacity nest where tenacity becomes very important. You can do the same thing with characters like the boss in this Albar, these tanks that get really tenacious and counter and are disruptive and you know it's all in context, every stat has. There's a role to play and I think people try to oversimplify it and end up wasting really cool mods or not even farming all the sets together and you know it's hard because I think if players took a broader approach, they would. Also be less discouraged with mods because it's almost impossible to get these 25+ speed mods that everyone is after, but it's very easy to get, it's like you know a 12 or 13 speed mod and so if you think about that in the context of these others. stats like power, tenacity, crit chance, build an inventory of, you know, 12 to 15 speed equivalent in that stat, like any equivalent and poets eat a nasty defense, all of that, you can get a very balanced inventory and have a GAC ​​team with better performance.

So I think you made an interesting point in talking to immersion players who may feel discouraged by mods or overwhelmed by mods. I think that's pretty common. Notice in my comments section, many of you are overwhelmed by mods. I know. You feel overwhelmed by mods a lot of times, how would you respond or what do I assume? What are some tips you would give to a player who is discouraged by mods? Hey? What are some simple things you can do now to improve the simplest thing you can do? improving mods would be to make sure you buy three mod energy vinay upgrades as many days as possible on any crystal budget, it's okay it's just a time investment you have to be on, you have to continually be on the bike to get new ones mods and cut new mods and are getting them through the mod challenges in farming mods through the mod challenges and if you have enough credits which many late players have as an excess of credits, the One of the best places to spend them is in the mod store, where you can get these cool gold mods that allow you to show +5 speed or any type of combination you see with a high synergy that you like and it is relatively cheap if you have several hundred thousand credits accumulated, then it is only for several, sorry, several hundred million accumulated credits, it could also be three million to get a mod, yes, you could also store upgrades for 15 crystals, it also upgrades, yes, here is an example of one here.

I got a defense, a defense crossover, which would be a great mod for someone like General Kenobi and even has crit chance, offense, and speed. I've seen in the mod store that it could get snagged many times. you're looking for those speed secondaries, but I think like you already said, offense is very important, so you might be looking for offense and keep in mind that, of these mods, I mean, if you level them up like a green mod, level up 9 you'll get all four stats, they're a purple mod, you level up only up to level 3, you get that fourth stat there, so that's also something to keep in mind, okay, anything else that you'd add those discouraging players out there who maybe want to get better at mods but aren't quite sure where to start.

Well, I would say that there is one series of videos in particular that is a fatal aka the playbook. Okay, if you're familiar with it, he posted. he's another content creator and he made a 5 video mod series that, well, was dedicated exclusively to how to prioritize and understand crop mods and cut mods, and it's five videos, the editing is great and it's like the most informative video series. I've seen modifications and encourage everyone since it came out recently. I encourage everyone, every one of my clients, to look at that. It's fantastic. I'll put a link to that in the comments below.

I haven't heard of this. We'll all add a comment with that, so I'll be here and I'll understand it very well, so I think it's a really

good

thing, everyone knows that. I'm also curious to tell us a little about your business. Wait, when would you say you started doing this? remod when did you think to yourself that you know why I'm good enough with sludge that people pay me to go to their list and fix their mods for them, so it didn't exactly happen like I suddenly had this? Premonition, I'm good enough, I should do this, it was more that people started telling me it was cool that I'd help with

modding

questions here and there over the months and then eventually I got to join the guild.

Guildmates who asked me if I would consider revamping their entire staff and said, "Oh, they suggested that they would pay me from time to time and that they would be happy to do it. It seems like I know that I knew what I was writing and, uh, I was." Well I guess sure, sure, I wanted to help my campmate and it was going to take time, so I thought it seems like a fair deal and I did it, it worked well and then I saw that there were a couple more people in the community this time kind of thing and I was like I guess this is, this is a thing, maybe yeah, this maybe is something that people do and sure, I can try it, try it and that's how it started and then I.

I did some more math and then reached out to Iran and asked if he could help me spread the word a little. He started shooting I Can Add for Me and, from there, it was like a snowball. That's amazing, that's amazing. IIIi. I love what they do, I respect it because I know how much work this entails after trying to just reshape my own list in my mind. I don't think you could pay me enough money to do this because someone forgets the experience that comes with it. I just don't want to do it, so I think the convenience at the very least is super nice.

Now I'm going to put you on the spot a little bit here. Michaelis entering accounts as a violation of the Terms of Service, technically this has been covered by CG in a development QA, this is a comment and concern that comes up many times when, when I have announced ramadas in this community, That worries you or your clients, how would you respond to that little technicality?Well, I think it's technically a violation of service, but technically it's also a violation of the Terms of Service to share your account login information with anyone, including you, you know you're going on vacation, you ask your brother to watch your account for you.

Violation of Terms of Service, right? If you are going to delete your account because your brother washes it while you go on vacation, no, they are going to be a giant sting operation looking for everyone to use Dream in the services, not at all the idea that that exists is only to protect CG of responsibility, so that if something ever happened. If it were to happen that a player gave up their login information and their account was deleted or they had some kind of financial problem like account fraud, then the CD would not be responsible and I think that is to protect CG from liability for what That shady people doing bad things, yes, and I think it's a good example of that.

I know a lot of people will go out on the black market and buy beads which is a big market for this, if you weren't aware of this this absolutely happens in this game and one time someone came to see me and was nervous because I had done this, bought an account and the original owner of the account came in and started screwing with the account after it was sold to him and said what can you do about it? And that's exactly the kind of situation where I, the CG, would point to the Terms of Service and say this is Against the Terms of Service, there's nothing we can do for you from a remodeling standpoint. .

However, with what he's doing, I don't think he's gone in and ruined anyone's account. Do you have McKay Asst? Do you have plans? about screwing up people's accounts, that would be bad for business, I think the stream was fun, yeah, I never had a problem with that nor do I plan on doing so in the future, okay, yeah, and if I suggest, if anyone is Thinking about using one of these services with McKay's, for example, if you have any other concerns, please ask. In fact, I helped him develop a process that is a very secure way for him to log into his account without any sensitive information being shared.

He can tell you more. about that, if you're interested now, finally, the last thing I want to ask you about your business, what is your workflow, how do you approach a remodel when you have a bill in front of you, do you come in, do you get naked? All mods start from Screw. They're using other websites you know to figure out what mods go where, what, how to approach it in a nutshell without sharing proprietary information. I'm not sure. I don't know. No one can ask me my ownership information. Well, the way my business works is that people don't want to do this or don't have it, don't eat it, or don't have the time, will or knowledge to do it and I'm happy to help in any In those situations, many People lack all three, I'm one of them, but anyway, the way this works when I get an account to modify, I go in and first I'll take a look at all the inventory I have.

I'm just going to scan the inventory quickly and scan the list and then create squads okay or arena raids and like 5 B 5 like Grand Arena so I'll have all of those teams laid out in the squad builder, each one in their own tab and then I'll modify the arena team first because that's always everyone's top priority because that's how you get your crystals every day and then I'll go through the Grand Arena tab and the teams will have more or less correct priority. and I'll go team by team, but you can't just do a full team, you have to go back and forth due to different priorities for different types of mods, so I just go down and have a rough priority order.

I do it by constantly going back and forth bouncing from character to character between these teams and I'll do team A and then team B and then whatever's left and that's it, I don't remove all the mods at once. ok, too intense wouldn't be nice, there's just a ton of finished art, yeah, I mean it's just not like that, there's usually no space in the inventory to do that right. Oh right, yeah, good point, I didn't just think about the inventory, yeah. the inventory only contains 500 mods and a lot of people also have great mods saved in their inventories, so yeah, I just mod character by character, gear by gear and I don't connect anyone's account to a website, spit it out. and then charge them for nothing.

I know there are websites you can make that are like Auto Mod your rival, but they may be better than nothing, but they're not the same, they're not personal, yeah, they're not. personal and they just don't take into account the details, well, no, to balance a list, well, I think this is really fascinating. I'm sure there is much more. We could probably spend 30 minutes to an hour talking about your process, but I appreciate it. that sort of high-level overview of what that looks like for you, Mackay, like, "I think what you're doing is fantastic, keep doing what you're doing if anyone is interested in using your service.

I've got all the information you need." know". down in the comments below and then before we finish the video McKay's any final

modding

tips, tricks, cheats, anything you want to share with the community, don't throw away good mods just because they have low speed, they may have high offensive or great crit chance or some other stat, keep an eye on synergy and if you have a credit pool use the mod store there, the five points now yeah, refresh it a hundred times a day, I'm pretty sure it's fifteen crystals yeah. to upgrade and that's just a bargain it's like a crystal per mod that you can look at and possibly buy yeah cool keep up the good work guys well thank you so much again for coming.

I think this was really eye-opening. I hope this video. it helps. I know that mods are a very, very important part of this game and probably a part of this game. A lot of people don't find it fun, but it makes a big difference, so I really hope this video helps you. Ideas for new things you can try to help improve your concentration in Grand Arena raids throughout the game. Alright, everyone, thank you again for joining me in this video and, as always, my brothers don't forget.
