3v3 territory war cancelled...

Mildly off topic, but I would love to see a TW map where the fleets we're moved to the front top and the middle row was threes while the rest of the troop squads were fives.

Can we have a full fleet TW? ?

I'm all for new variations of TW because a large part of why arena is stale to me is that it's always the same... ?

It doesn't...because they cancelled it. I have - and win consistently. That doesn't mean it's more fun. I play the game for enjoyment, not just to win free pixels.

OK your opinion is noted. There's plenty of 3 team synergy so I disagree that it's not fun just because it wasn't intended this way originally. Personally I like making two NS teams whereas before I could only make one. And they both have plenty of synergy.

I'm not suggesting that there isn't any synergy in 3v3 - just that several teams (especially those who get buffs/TM/bonuses based on number of allies/enemies, etc.) are weakened considerably by the drop in numbers. There are also several that don't work nearly as well without all the moving parts (Finn teams, Scoundrel teams, Imp teams, Separatist teams, certain Sith teams, etc.)

To me 3v3 just feels like a less strategic, more "muscle" (i.e. mods) version of full 5v5. I'm not saying anyone has to agree. Just my preference and opinion.

I've had plenty of success with Scoundrels and Imps. Some teams are even better (CLS). It's just a different game mode. I enjoy the variety.

I do agree that certain teams are better. The problem is (again, in my opinion) - that it's the strong teams that are stronger in 3v3 (CLS, JKR, Triumverate, DR/Malak, etc.) - while the counters to those teams are all relatively weaker by comparison as a result of the smaller numbers.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. You enjoy the variety of smaller squads. I prefer the synergy of larger squads.

To be clear, it's not a preference thing. I actually do prefer 5v5 because there's more things you can do with the squad. I'm just saying that I enjoy both. If I had to pick one I'd pick 5v5, but I like having both to add variety to the game. I'm a little bummed they cancelled 3v3 TW just because I wanted to give it a try and see how fun it might be.

I would have been okay with 3v3 TW. I would actually prefer that to the "crazy bonus" versions of TW. At least in 3v3, the interactions and balance are "normal", albeit limited due to squad size.

If they alternated between 3v3 and 5v5 in TW I would much prefer that to 5v5 alternating between "vanilla" and "silly bonus" flavors.

I love how they they take the complaints about 1 or 2 massively OP teams that create TM breaking loops that can start with TM making them IMMORTAL that NO ONE want's to play against and ruin TW for everyone and make it less fun than it is.

AND

Interpret that as "well we read the feedback and see you hate ALL the bonuses in every form" and will revert back to pure unadulterated meh.

It's like this is a perfect example of them not taking feedback.

No median with these people
