The 1st TW under new rule was kind of failure. But, please remind that was an accident. AY had problem, too. What we can hope is that AY would not care about reward from TW from now on. More token is not great as one more zeta. If we can provide enough GP by our own, that would be better, though. Next time, we will have 120M active GP no matter what. And, please let us know if you cannot join TW before it starts, because we can invite more members to fill in your GP. It is impossble to get enough members within few hours. This time we have 1M GP short. If you could let us know first, we had a chance to get one more member to achieve 120M GP. You can leave the message in guild chat. Someone will notice and will let officers know. OK, good news is that we will have another JTR event starting from 10/11. I know many of you are ready and wating for long time. After JTR event, we are planning to give members certain time to prepare for HSTR. A month at the most. I guess a week or two would do for most of you. After that preparing period, we will start HSTR and see how much we can do. It would be hard to beat for the 1st time, but you will get there since we have enough teams required for HSTR. Hope we can start HSTR before the end of Oct. I will prepare the guideline for FOD. Please let me know how you think. The guideline will be posted around 10/11 on this website. Please prepare. We will beat HSTR soon.

FOD's Two Rules Our Rule is simple. To beat HSTR, we have only two rules. 1. Join TW 2. Prepare one or more teams for HSTR This new rules starts from 10/1/2018. Please read and understand what we are going to do. If you have any question, feel free to ask in game chat or discord. Join TW?"Join TW" means you press "JOIN" button during preview phase whenever we have TW live. Our purpose is just to have more than 120M active GP for each TW. FOD will not care about the result. So, attacking or deploying is not required to members. With more than 120M GP, we will get at least 2 zeta which is decent for most of us. However, you need to make some action after preview phase to get reward from TW. If you miss the reward by not doing anything during TW, that is your own problem. If you need reward, make sure to deploy or attack. Not joining TW may cause removal from the guild. If you cannot join TW, please let us know first. We all understand everyone has things to do, so don't worry about the rest. But, if you just skip TW, that is different story. We may remove the member who has the lowest GP among those who skipped TW. Again, pressing "JOIN" button is the only thing FOD asks you. Hope this is easy enough for everyone. Prepare for HSTR? FOD sets several key characters and teams for HSTR. Please provide one or more from the list below. They all are used widely and proven to be effective. A. JTR (or 2 Vets) B. GM Yoda Jedi Team C. Death Trooper for CHex Mix Team D. NS Team (Asajj or Talzin lead) We need many of these teams. The border line would be... 25 JTR teams or GMY lead Jedi Teams (4% or more) 30 CHex Mix Teams (3% or more) 10 NS Teams (7% or more for DN) We might need these for HSTR. JTR and Jedi teams are for P1. CHex Mix is for P3. P2 squads are also needed, but, you can send what you have in P2. NS team is great for P3 and P4. However, we all understand that everyone needs certain time to prepare these teams, and the guild will give you enough time. We try, we improve, and we beat. Hope the day comes soon. I know there are other things to do in the game, but please focus on building those teams for HSTR first. Other Things TB TB is not focused until we become HSTR running guild. However, please do what you can. We will be happy to have more tokens from TB. But, you don't need to prepare TB specific teams for now. Many of them are not useful in HSTR. During HSTR challenging period, we would invite or remove members often, and TB schedule will not affect our decision. We would not wait for the end of TB to remove or invite members. Everything is based on HSTR schedule. Other Raids Pit and HAAT are not our main concern. We will run them whenever we have ticket. If you are preparing teams to solo HAAT, that is wrong direction. Daily 600 Daily 600 is something many guilds require to members. FOD has no penalty for not finishing. However, that does not mean you can always miss. Do what you can. SWGOH.GG Account This is requirement. Please have one ASAP. We will not remove you because of not having the account for now, but please help officers to check everyone's roster. This is a draft of F1RST ORDER DEFECTORS regulation. We need to know how members think. So, please read and give us feedback. This new rule starts from October 2018. * 9/25/2018 Fixed some errors. Rephrased some. And, looks completed. * 9/23/2018 Ver 1.3 Taking out daily 600 and SWGOH.GG as requirement since there is no penalty set. * 9/20/2018 Ver 1.2 Penalty for skipping TW is now clearly stated. * 9/20/2018 Fixed stupid English error a little. Sorry about my poor English. I am a Japanese if you didn't know. * 9/19/2018 Ver 1.1 Added Grand Master Yoda for HSTR. New Regulation Oct. 2018 The guild requires two things to members who are willing to stay. 1. Joining TW to keep 120M active GP 2. Preparing for HSTR Joining TW Actually, Joining TW is the only strict requirement FOD gives you. Joining means you press "JOIN" button, and the guild will not care if you deploy or attack. Also, we would not question about the result. Our biggest purpose is to achieve 120M active GP, so everyone can get at least two zeta materials from each TW. That will help you to make your characters stronger. But, if you do nothing after preview phase, you will get nothing. That is your problem. Other members who did attack or deploy will get the reward. We understand that some players hate this TW very much and hesitate even pressing "JOIN" button. However, active GP will affect the amount of reward. You must understand the system and just join to help others. Again, FOD will never force you to attack or deploy. Penalty and Exception for TW If anyone skips TW, FOD will consider removing the member who has the lowest GP among those who did not join TW. However, if you leave the game for a while and cannot join TW, let us know. We all understand you have life. Don't worry about the rest. Preparing for HSTR FOD sets one goal. That is to be HSTR running guild. All the members are required to prepare for HSTR. The guild hopes members to provide one or more teams from the list below. 1. JTR (or 2 of 7 star veterans) 2. Death Trooper (CHex Mix Team) 3. Nightsister Team (At least 5 of 7 star Nightsisters) 4. Grand Master Yoda Jedi Team (if you don't have JTR or as back up for P1) These are standards for HSTR running guilds. If we have more of these, HSTR will be getting easier. If you are not farming any of those, start now. So What's This All About? If my English is ok, you may realize that joining TW is the only strict requirement. Preparing for HSTR is something we do everyday. Achiving 120M active GP together is the first step to become a team. If you cannot understand this point and still skip TW, I have no word to say. If joining TW is too hard for you, please go to OMEGA. Other Raids FOD will not focus on Pit Raid and HAAT anymore. If you are still trying to build better teams for those, you are heading to wrong direction. But, we will run Pit and HAAT Raid for sure. TB - Non Priority It would be still nice to get more stars from TB, but some of required teams are useless in HSTR. So, you can stop working on those units required just for TB. During HSTR trial, we may experience members moving around. So, our activities will not be affected by the schedule of TB anymore in any means. We may remove or invite members even during TB. HSTR first. This guideline doesn't mean you can stay out of TB and just get free reward for doing nothing. FOD will not ask you to finish perfect combat or special mission for a while, but please do what you can with what you have now. TW - Just Join, That's it. For TW, the guild would not care about winning or losing since our average arena rank is not high. Let's admit that we are in PvE guild. That could be the main reason that we may not enjoy TW much. So, the guild makes it clear that we won't care about winning or losing any more. What we want is minimum reward that is really decent by keeping active GP of 120M or more. Hope everyone can relax and just join. No one will tell or ask you to do the things in TW. Result is not the case for us. We just need to achieve 100% participation during preview phase for better reward. HSTR - Our Current Goal Preparing for HSTR is now requirement. If you don't want to do so, let us know. We understand that some players are not seeking the way to beat HSTR. And, I have to tell you all this period of time is really stressful. But, once you decide to stay with us, you will need to provide HSTR viable characters and teams. Probably, we can wait for a month after next JTR event. FOD sets several specific characters and teams to prepare for HSTR, so have one or more of those. They are already proven to be effective. If you have question about teams for HSTR, please ask experienced members in the guild. One more advice, keep farming mods. You need to have fast ones. Since we have separate energy for mods, things are easier than before. Without speed, there is less chance to post big score. When you have enough mods, you can think about mod salvage, I guess. Daily 600 For daily 600, we don't have any penalty so far, but that does not mean you don't have to finish. It is common requirement in many guilds, so we shouldn't need to emphasize. Try your best. Some players are busy and would miss daily 600 sometimes, and we understand that. SWGOH.GG Account Please have one A.S.A.P. Seriously, you need to have one. If you want to know why we keep asking this, check how many people have 7 star DT right now by tapping everyone's name one by one and send the report to me. I need spreadsheet. I would like to know their gear level, too. Oh, and, check everyone's 2 vets, please. I also want to know how many CHex Mix teams we can have right now. Wait, I also need to know how many of us can make Sabine and Wampa team. Oh, yeah, I also need... I can go on. If you have SWGOH.GG account, I can check these in one spreadsheet. Plaese help the guild. We may not kick you out because of this account. But, hope you all have one before the end of 2018. If you don't know how, let us know. So, What Are We Trying? What we want to have is the guild that runs HSTR but not strict as Anakins Younglings. AY seeks maximum reward and good result, so they should be really organized. However, FOD will not seek the same path. If you want more, please try to get in AY. The process FOD can offer you is slower and less than what AY can do. The biggest difference between AY and FOD is how to deal with TW. We would not care about winning or losing. We will not keep telling you to attack. That is really stressful for those who don't have many teams for arena. Just getting decent reward from TW will make everyone happy in FOD. AY may be facing the problem that many members hate TW so much and don't do their job. So, FOD can give those TW haters a new home. AY is trying to get perfect stars from both TBs now and will get there soon. TB is all about how much GP we have, so FOD will not seek the perfect or certain number of stars for a while. It may take a year or more to get perfect stars for many guilds, so FOD will not focus on TB too much. When we have more than 165M GP, let's think about getting perfect stars. We can be alpha guild that gives this alliance members more choise. The reward is not high as AY, but decent enough for what we are capable of. Probably, FOD will be the guild for middle and highend players or TW haters' heaven. Thanks for supporting! We are not OMEGA anymore. It is just a different direction from AY. We will no longer take casual, occasional, or novice players. For now, just focus on two things: joining TW and HSTR. Hope this sounds easy and fair enough to all of you. And, don't worry too much. If you are daily player, you can achieve what guild wants with no problem. Hope you all find yourself a home in FOD. We are no longer OMEGA or casual, but we still remain friendly to each others. For those old casual players, we are sorry to inform you that we are heading to new direction. If you want to stay with us, you may start thinking about how you deal with the new direction. Everything is up to you. If anyone disagree with these new rules, please let us know. We would always listen to you (like EA/CG does, just kidding). When we become HSTR running guild, we may have new rules. 2018/9/18 Ver 1.0 Uploaded What does "Participation" mean ? Some members might be misunderstanding FOD's intension toward TW. Officers often ask you to join or to participate, right? Do you know what the real meaning is? Let's make things clear in this entry.
1. To join or to participate means you press "JOIN" bottun. 2. Deploying or attacking is not required. 3. We all care to achive 120M active GP for better reward. Some members may hate TW or don't care at all. However, you have to know how the system decides the reward. It is based on active GP. That means how many members pressed the join button during preview phase. That is all. It does not matter how much GP the guild has. Active GP is not total GP. So, if you don't press join button, we may lose some of reward. Especially, if active GP becomes more than 120M. we can get 2 zetas even from losing war. That is why FOD asks everyone to "JOIN". We will never question what you do in the rest of TW. So, if only you skip TW and we get 119M active GP, that means you hurt the entire guild. You take away a zeta from the guild members. That is why officers keep asking to "JOIN". We all need your 15 second action to press the button. That is only requirement during TW from FOD. Hope this is simple enough. Skipping is not allowed unless you are very busy or cannot log in on the day TW starts. Please let officers know if you are not available. Otherwise, skipping TW gives FOD a good reason to kick you out because skipping TW simply offends other members. If you want to stay with us, JOIN TW. That is the only rule we have. Preparing for HSTR is not something everyone can achieve in very short period of time. Joining TW takes less than minute. Don't miss again. Thank you for your support to FOD everyday. Recent hottest topic of SWGOH is Heroic STR for sure. And, since most of you have been working on those characters, we will soon reach the point to start HSTR. So, we may need to set a new course of the guild.
FOD will focus on just two things from now on until we become HSTR running guild. We have made it as simple as possible. 1. Building teams for HSTR. 2. Join TW. Building squads for HSTR is now mandatory to everyone who wants to stay with us. We will not focus on other aspects of SWGOH for a while such as Pit Raid, HAAT, and TB. You can even stop preparing for TB. But, some characters are useful in HSTR, so you still can focus on those. But, you need to think about the priority. If the guild beats P1 easily, you can skip JTR and start providing teams for P2 mainly. But, we all need to have P3 teams such as CHex Mix. Key unit is Death Trooper. First you finish farming 2 vets, then go for DT. That would be ok The guild may give you more time to prepare, but not too long. Half of members are already prepared. They just need a little tweak and practice. After next JTR event, we will start heroic. If you don't have any teams, start preparing at least one before the end of next JTR event. We may not ask you to have JTR as mandatory if we can beat P1 with members those who already have JTR. More JTR is better for sure. Joining TW is now strictly REQUIRED. We need 120M active GP to get at least 2 zetas. We will not try to win. Deploying or attacking is not important. Just joining is fine. We will need to see all the memebers name in the list after preview phase of TW. Don't miss any more. Spending 15 seconds for the guild should not be too much to ask. Again, what we require is just to join TW, the rest of action is totally up to you. We will not ask you to attack or deploy. If we miss 2 zetas because of your lack of participation, we may kick you out right after preview phase. Don't miss TW, please. We have had enough failure. Don't hurt the entire guild any more. So, I hope you all understand my poor English. If you have questions, please let me know. |
