Re: "Immediate" bonus turn not guaranteed

Hi @ButtStallion507 and thank you for the detailed report.

We are aware of the coin flip situation, where more than one character has 100% turn meter and then it is randomly decided who goes first. We are already looking into possible ways to improve the mechanic in those situations but it is not an easy thing to change.

    Is this case supposed to be a coin flip though?  The wording of these two abilities, ie "Immediate" make it seem as though they shouldn't be granting 100% TM (which leads to the coin flip), but granting another turn immediately. 

    Of course, there may not be any mechanism to do this, and solutions around the coin flip problem could also solve this.  Was still curious whether there is a separate intent with these abilities versus all of the other 100% TM/extra turn situations for which a coin flip (currently) would still make sense.

    "Immediate" means they gain 100% turn meter, which then leads to the coin flip situation. Currently, there is no other game mechanic in place which unintentionally lead to many of those situations (TM swap by Thrawn for example).

    There are many scenarios that lead to this.
    Solo shoot first
    GMY special
    Wicket Unique
    Embo Unique

    are just a few off the top of my head


    There is also some way you have (EA/CG) to make sure that the character does take the next action and

    • Target ally of Grand Admiral Thrawn’s "Grand Admiral's Command" will now always take the next action.

    IMO every ability that states immediate turn should be set up like this not just papa smurf

    Hi @scuba75 yeah, we have played around with that a lot lately and fixed the TM swap for Thrawn and will continue to do so for other characters as well.
