DS TB Phase 4 platoons [MERGE]

And another thing; we are rank number 57 for GP in entire game. We managed 3 platoons today. Not one person is planning on "farming" the toons for it like zombie or the other ones.

I'll repeat that because it sounds insane:

In the game swgoh the number 57 ranked guild for guild points in the entire game can only complete three platoons in phase 4 of the new dark side territory battle game mode because thousands, yes thousands, of US dollars were not spent. :neutral:

remember kozi

"This does not appear to be a bug. Recruit Players to your Guild that have these Characters in their roster, or you can acquire them on your own"

lol

In P3, there were BH’s in the Platoon requirements, which I assume was an oversight since there was a BH mission.
But P4... my word.
As people have pointed out, it’s pretty ridiculous.
In the LS TB’s, when you reach P5/6, you expect a couple of P2P characters here and there. It’s not unexpected to only get 4/6 Platoons in each section of the map done due to lack of ships or characters which require a player to sink hundreds of dollars into random prize boxes to unlock them.
But not every single character Platoon, as is the case with this TB. In the middle and lower zones there isn’t a single platoon which doesn’t have a requirement for either Mother Talzin, Zombie, Spirit, SF FOTP or KRU. And most Platoons need multiple combos of these characters.
Seems an excessive requirement... especially when you add in the requirement for notoriously long farm characters such as Gar Saxon, Imperial Commando, Shoretrooper and Sith Trooper.
I get that the DS TB is supppsed to be more challenging but this is just demoralising :(

In my guild BPC which we have 110 million galactic power this is what we could do
4/6 top : requires Tie Silencer
1/6 middle : Nightsister fest + first order sf tie pilot
0/6 bottom : Nightsister fest + first order sf tie pilot

on top of a TB that is infested with bugs this was the last straw for me and have just announced to my guild that i do not care if they skip the rest of the tb.
Tomorrow is gonna be a new phase with more stuff that will continue to demoralize my guild members.

It really is demoralizing, actually had a guildmate say exactly that this morning.
That's why we decided to send message out to not stress out about this one. We had to do something because no one seemed to be enjoying logging in.

Any new phase brings a new lowlight with this release. For ls tb you had at least the decency to limit the p2p toons to platoon 5 and 6. But here? It is hard to differntiate what is bugged (veers, snowtrooper), poor greed (new nightsisters, new fo toons) and simply confusing (starck and droid).

I am looking forward on how you clean up this mess :)

Sitting in a 110 mill GP guild, we managed 1/12 in platoons. Awesome job rolling this out lmao it's been a circus past 4 days

I think the whole community would be relatively less annoyed if we heard something of an apology, even something remotely close to it.

But the fact that in these few days, EA has:

1. Threatened to banned people for "exploiting" a bug which they didn't had the decency to QC (anybody remembered when players could upgrade mods for free? Yes, that bug? Anybody? Nobody got threatened right?);
2. Kept justifying that this Dark Side TB was done to appease "the players"; and
3. Put in ridiculous platoon requirements and kept silent about it when the uproar happened.

Is it us? Baby, come back. We loved the old EA. We promise to make things work. Don't leave us. We promise to buy more crystal packs. You have changed but we can change so that you love us back. :'( <3

We were lucky to do 2 platoons because 3 people had invested in Mother Talzin when she came out. Other than that our platoons required 15 Nightsister spirit(!!!) and a decent amount of the new FO toons. Oh and Veers, Snowtrooper and Col. Starck. At least we didn’t get the probe droid, how lucky!

Poodoo like this... how do fixes from the same mode reappear in different version of the same mode. Play test, QA... should catch stuff like this especially when it fundamentally undermines the design of the mode.

Gaffs like this make me suspect CG has far more people working on PR, cash shop and, new toons for cash shop than on the balance, QoL, and play testing.
