DS TB is extremely hard compared to LS TB in contrast to the events during the battle of Hoth in ESB! Factors that hamper progress and prevent guilds from winning more stars are:- Empire faction roster twice as small compared to the Rebel one and lacking more healers/cleansers.- The high requirements of empire characters, critical for battles, for unlocking Imperial Strategic Abilities or destroying Rebel Strategic Abilities.- Facing off against a number of OP rebels with strong healing/cleansing synergies on all Phases, that make the Imperial Strategic Abilities irrelevant.- The insanely powerful Rebel Strafing Run ability compared to the weak Imperial Orbital Bombardment ability (Rebel airspeeders more powerful than Imperial Star Destroyers???)

Yes it’s harder but my guild still ends up getting the same amount stars as they do in LSTB. I have no issues with DSTB. Except those bounty hunter missions. I’m not keen on leveling up mostly horrible toons.

I think the biggest difference is that due to the amount of Empire character, platoons are significantly harder to fill.

We should like DS better. They theoretically learned from some of the mistakes they made in LS (like 4 phases for each battle in DS as opposed to 6 in LS, a special mission for ships, more special missions, etc.)That said, they're both fairly enjoyable - and the rewards are decent.

And most of you are still missing a crucial problem - the Imperial Strategic Abilities which are a pain in the bum to unlock/upgrade due to p2p toons/small Empire roster and their uselessness against the tons of OP rebel healers/cleansers!

Only thing I dislike is the Rebel Event AoE. The cleanses/heals/stealths/taunts/cleanses/heals you can work around and deal with. The Strafing Run is what is demoralizing. Either 1. Allow 75% of filled 4-6 platoons (the ptp ones) disable the Run, or 2. Weaken the insane damage so we at least have a chance due to strategy, team composition and luck.

The Empire faction having less units because the rebels natrually have a higher percentage of individual heroes compared to generic units. Also Healing/Cleansing are sorta LS reserved ability i guess? with DS having Healing immunity(which given, is weaker).

The Rebel Airspeeders thing is just dumb, bcos if we were to follow actual strength, the Imperials basically wrecked the rebs. This would be a clean sheet with the exceprion of rear airspce.

You must be new around here? :smiley: Healing/Cleansing is used on both sides! It's not a "LS reserved ability"! Also while the rebels natrually have a higher percentage of individual heroes, there are more characters that can be added to the Empire that will make the DS TB a lot easier and also the Empire toon requirements need to be lowered. As for the Rebel Strafing Run ability it's unrealistically powerful and needs a nerf for the sake of balance or for Imperial Orbital Bombardment to be boosted!
