3 Starred Assault Battles

On December 4, 2019, during one of the Q&As the question below was asked. (The non-relevant parts have been removed.)

Q: Can we get more simming of existing events, especially ones that have multiple waves (Secrets and Shadows, Rebel Roundup, etc.). Like if we beat them 5 or 10 times, or earn 3*, can we sim them in the future? Thank you!
A: CG_SvenGG - We've been thinking about the best way to decrease the time commitment we ask of players for content they are able to clear with trivial effort. Ultimately, that has led to the realization that we need a holistic approach to time-saving for players so that we can continue to add new content to the game without exacerbating the commitment players feel they have to make each day.

We have been asking for simmable assault battles for a long time now as you can see.

What's worse is approx two months after after that Q&A, on Jan 28, 2020, CG did the opposite of time savings and released Challenger Tiers 1 and 2 making the assault battles take even longer to complete.

On July 03, 2020, I posted a reminder to CG about what they said about time saving. No response from them.

Worse still is three weeks later, on July 23, 2020 CG released Challenger Tier 3

Since even before that Q&A from Dec 2019, when Q&As were still a thing, I have been asking this question (which was modified once the Challenger Tiers were released):

Some battles that we have already achieved 3 stars in are starting to get tedious. All of the eight round assault battles come to mind. Are there any plans to allow us to sim ALL battles that we have already achieved 3 stars in? Over a year ago, when somebody asked for this very QOL update, you said you were going to take a "holistic approach to time-saving" but since then, you have made these battles take even more time by adding additional tiers to the events. Can you please explain the contradiction?

I'm not a programmer, so I am unaware what the issue is. If other battles in the game can be simmed, what makes the Assault Battles "impossible" to do so?

When can we finally sim events that we have already achieved three stars in?

Advanced Fleet Mastery: • Admiral’s Maneuver • Endurance • Executrix • General’s Command • Home One
Special Events: • Defense of Dathomir, • Endor Escalation, • Galactic Bounties I • Galactic Bounties II • Ghosts of Dathomir
Assault Battles: • Forest Moon • Ground War • Military Might • Places of Power • Rebel Round Up • Secrets and Shadows
Resource Events: • Contraband Cargo • Smuggler’s Run
Mythic Events (only partially simmable): • Artist of War Mythic (Grand Admiral Thrawn) • Daring Droid Mythic (R2-D2) • Emperor's Demise Mythic (Emperor Palpatine) • Grand Master's Training Mythic (Grand Master Yoda) • Pieces & Plans Mythic (BB-8)

To those of you who say something along the lines of "this will reduce the amount of content in the game!", remember this, with the exception of the Rancor & Tank raids (in some guilds), just because an event or battle is simmable and just because some people want the OPTION to sim, it does NOT mean that YOU have to.

You can still go right ahead and manually run every single battle. More power to you!

Yeah, the writings on the wall, or in this post I guess ^
Not going to happen

If CG really does "care" about time saving (especially as they continue to add more events like Conquest and lengthen GAC) , Assault Battles are much more of a time suck than many of the other events listed. Mainly because they are 8 phases and some of the challenge tiers can't be auto'd.

The excuses as to why this isn't done, or "can't" be are getting old and tired - just like 8 phase assault battles.

And the fact that we have been asking due literally years now does not mean it's a fait accompli - that just means they're not listening.

Heck, even GCs are partially simmable when you go directly for the final tiers, so i see no problem with making 3 Starred tiers of Assault Battles simmable.

the worst part is it's a timesuck for no reason. Does CG think a bunch of people will get so frustrated they will spend money on...something they can already auto? How would that even work? makes no sense.

Yeah. Any reacurring event thats been in the game more than 1 year should be simable if you 3* it.

While I didn't mention this in my earlier post, I'm all for leaving the Challenge Tiers as manual, but even with that, similar to Galactic War, once we can three star it 5, 10, 50 or whatever x times, to prove it wasn't a fluke, they too should be simmable or I dare say, add a Challenge Tier IV?

can I get credit for the 300 times I already did it?

edit: this garbage AB is by far the worst one of them all. what a joke.

I think part of the issue with the high challenge tiers is the insane speed on enemies. You spend most of your time just waiting for a turn. For reference, today I used SEE aoe to drop the final wave to only eeth koth. Koth took 3 turns before my 555 speed SEE went again.

half an hour ago I was going to make a "joke" post about asking if I'd have enough time to fix mods before crancor. This AB is still going on. This one battle of this AB, I mean. I have 30 more minutes, hopefully I'll be able to, assuming I get through 7 and 8/8. I'd quit but I don't have a few hours later to do these ab battles, so...
