DS TB Still Skewed

So just curious if anyone else thinks that the DS TB is still WAYYY off?

Finished the special mission with Zader easy ok.

Bottom Territory took in Zidious(L) G10, Zavage G11.5, Darth Maul G9, Boba G8, and Tusken Shaman G8.
Now, these guys some are my HAAT teams (Shaman, Zid, Zavage) and Zid and Zavage are in my arena team. They couldn't beat 4/4. Speed primaries on some etc etc.
My G9 FO Team with decent mods also couldn't do 4/4.

Yet my Thrawn (L) G8 5*, ShoreT(G8 5*), DN (G8 5*), Talia (G7 7*), TFP (G10 7*) walked through it mainly? Heck I didnt even use Fracture..(granted I did use annihilate twice of course)

Looking in the notes here about the "fixes" there is nothing stated about the "difficulty" level though. Anyone else think its just still wayyy off?

*Note - I'm not geared as well on DS as I am LS and my roster isn't as deep, but my arena and HAAT/Rancor teams are all DS so I am more modded etc. but it doesn't seem right that 7* 2-Zeta teams cant even beat the first phase missions....still...

I was so annoyed that I didn't even pay attention to if the points were the corrected haha. - actually looking now, 297k for 4/4 thats still low is it not?


TL:DR tell me Im crazy for thinking they eased up on the difficulty level and actually fixed something for this DSTB. Considering I JUST got my rewards for LAST DSTB...I may just call it quits after P1.

  • Guys, really? Are you listening to yourselves?

    "Had no problems completing combat with my zader/zidious/znihilus/zavage/zthrawn. DSTB is definitely balanced."

    This, on 2-star phase 1 combat. Let's see where his conversation goes at phase 3...

    Still be the same convo , same squads, same 4/4, are you listening to the tips! Squad comps, mods, and strategy wins the match. Plugging in any old char does not.

    Yeah, but look at the points gained and the points needed. You can 3* the bottom territory with 7m, and you get 165k for doing 3 phases. The missions might be harder, but the tuning is easier.
  • 3* the btm with 7mil? Where're you referring this from? Mine is 24mil to the 3rd star... I'm confused now.

    ... Granted tho, you do have a point on the rewards/effort ratio... But if the difficulty ramps up exponentially the same way it does on LSTB we're facing much less odds of even a first star by phases 3-4. We'll have to wait and see to confirm, I guess.

    And to the answer above that: of course I've been seeing the strategies. Have you seen my reply in the first place? "z-someone can pass this stage" is about as helpful as "you can pass everything on LSTB with CLS". Try these same teams on phase 5-6 and its more an RNG fest than a challenge, especially if they're going (I assume) to ramp the difficulty up by the same factor as LSTB starting from the high bar at phase 1.

    All this, plus the same z-toons are likely to be needed in multiple spots in platoons. Someone's going to have to give those up, and I guess you're not placing any importance on those.

    i don´t think any 2* toon-squad can possible beat any of the combats...
    so yes, the battles are still too hard

    Yeah, sorry about that--It's 24m. I put the wrong number in because I'm not used to actually paying attention to the 3* threshold. But we hit it, which we've never done. If all goes well today we'll be on pace to get 18*, which is what we hit in the Light Side battles on a good week.

    So I screwed up the numbers, that's my bad, but the overall point remains the same--harder missions, but better results. High, high, high-end guilds who regularly 3* territories might not notice the difference because they're already getting the most points possible, but folks on the lower to middle ends of the spectrum are seeing an improvement, I think.

    Lucky you then... I'm in a lower - end guild that's still struggling to get our first 3rd star ... And we're off by a large margin. For guilds in our range the difficulty is keener... Zetas are mostly a bonus at this point.
