Like the title says, I have 35 allies yet... I can't find a single one of them when I need them...Someone really needs to explain how this ally system works... do the people need to be close level to me? do they need to be playing the game at the same time as me or conversely do they need to be offline when I am playing? Is there some form of cooldown after you use an ally?When someone else has used a particular player as an ally, does it put them into some sort of global cooldown?... It would be nice to know what is what?Cause these 35 allies might not as well even be there as I can never seem to find any!

When you use an ally for a mission they go on cooldown for 4 hours. Either you've used all 35 of your allies in that period of time and have no more left to choose or you're running battles where your allies don't have appropriate characters available. e.g Running Dark Side missions and all your allies have Light Side characters set so they don't show up for you to select.I've also found that if I back out of a screen and go back into the ally select it'll repopulate it, sometimes your allies don't show up immediately but if you refresh it they will.

Dunno about the cooldown, I have a friend say that once he used my LS leader, he hadn't seen me since... But I told him that may have been because I have been doing DS battles the past two days....So then it leads me to wonder if allies available for one particular side for light or dark side battles, that your ally must have done that particular side battle last for them to pop up? i.e. they must have done a dark side battle last for their dark side leader to pop up as a potential ally.Sometimes the refresh doesn't even show anyone after 5 or so tries... And I'm pretty sure I haven't used all 35 of my allies certainly not in the past four hours, as I hadn't even been on for the past six!EDIT but it does make me wonder if your ally uses your leader that puts a global cooldown between the two of you?

If you use an ally they go on cooldown for you only. There's no shared global cooldown between you and your ally.Ally character is the leader of the last team that was used in any battle. So yes, if all you've done is DS missions then your friend won't see you available as an ally for their LS missions.

I actually have a question with regard to ally points. I am playing 2 accounts with my iphone and ipad, so I noticed that you only get ally point if you engage in the battle. The ally who loans his help, however, was never rewarded the 20 ally points EA claims.

35 Allies, yet no allies available?!

Get more friend from the server your on and you will start seeing more options. I think it's buggy for friends on other servers. Just an observation

Odd, I'll have to test this out more. I used to see Sid all the time in my ally list, but after I finally got him and added him to my team I've never seen him again in my ally list. Also, I never see Chewie or Dooku either (they are on my team).

Not sure if this matters, but I play on iOS, what about you?

Nope android here

Can't wait for the bug fix to get bronzium credit for lending.
I'd take on more lower level players if it worked. As it stands now, there's no incentive to ally yourself to anyone at a lower level.

Depends how low level, if more than 10 levels I understand you, but within five levels, most allies are significantly better than the AI ones available... There's a huge difference between a 2 star chewbacca and a 4 star one even five levels below me... It's incentive enough for me given some PvE nodes are a heck of lot easier with a player built leader than a default premade AI ones

I'd rather have active lower level players than inactive high level players since there's a chance that their mains are only available to allies during a period of activity (either they have the game open or have played in the past N minutes).

But yeah I hope they fix this soon. Also hope they credit people who were nice enough to let me use their chars and credit me for all the people I've helped out.

I have a similar issue where it says I have 35/35 allies. However when I went to the manage tab in my allies menu I only count 10? Even when I delete allies it only shows the same allies from that list of 10. Does anyone know if this is a bug or are the other 25 players not shown no longer active in the game?
