@CG_Kozispoon @CG_RyDiggs Because of the warning in this posthttps://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/145638/dark-side-territory-battle-possible-platoon-deployment-exploit-warning#latestDSTB should be shut down now. Not going into how the thing happens but it is very easy to do it unintentionally and even knowing about it can happen again without warning. So your game logs will show this happening in many guilds and with many players not even intending to do it. With threat of banishment for doing said exploit and no real way for a player to know they even did it till after the fact it doesn't seem right to punish players for something they can't control. Yes there will be some doing it intentionally however I bet your logs will show way more people doing it than you expect.With the way the game locks and and is sometimes slow to respond it is again very easy for this to happen.So IMO either need to let it go or stop DSTB there is no way to catch all of those that did it intentionally nor is there a real way to figure out who did it unintentionally vs low rate of intentionally.

@Bouncyslime I totally agree 100%, I spent nearly $100.00 over the course of a month and was still planning on getting the first order packs and a few others by Christmas but after this suspension and the time it has taken me away from the game and missing rewards I am not sure I want to invest any more money at all.I am actually considering how I could seek a full refund and just uninstall again. I have no trust now that my account couldn't be just randomly suspended again for something I am unaware of.

This bug is still active. Happened in my guild today.

I believe it is different now? it deploys the toon so you can't use it in a different region, but it won't let you get multiple points for it.It's WAI. you should be coordinating better when to click the deploy button with all 50 members of your guild.

I wasn't serious at all, they should fix the damn bug. that when you try to deploy at the same time as someone else, it deploys the character and it can't be used in a platoon in a different section.

It's ridiculous in my opinion that we needed tons of imperial troopers today in platoons when we have a combat mission for Veers with them.

Please remove them from platoons on imperial trooper mission days like you did with Phoenix.

Sadly logic will probably be You can use more than Imperial troopers for that battle. Doesn't seem to matter that Veers is better with Imperial troopers.

All this platoons stuff is what I pointed out when many were calling for DSTB.
Platoons seem to suck up all the good characters.
Based on the recent update notes (wampa being added to platoons) seems they believe that using a character in a platoon is same as taking them into battle so I don't see it getting any better.

they way they announced him being added to platoons almost made me want to assign my wampa to a platoon. It sounded freaking awesome. Woohoo !! hypetrain comming through !! Choo-Choo !!

They forgot to mention that you can't actually use him in battle, a battle where wampa really shines. But let's not get distracted by the details. Choo-Choo !!!

I really enjoy Platoons. Mostly because it's "Guild Bingo".

My gripe is that it leaves some DS Toons out, or limiting their "Platoon-ability".

In Phase 4 (at the time of this post), out of the combined 180 slots (15 per Platoon x 6 for both top and bottom):

-Dooku shows up twice
-Daka is a no show
-NS Initiate is a no show
-NS Acolyte is a no show

Not sure if every Guild's TB is the same, but my "Rear Trenches" (bottom) has 2 Platoons that look like this:

>>> 3 Tarkin, 2 TFP, 2 ShoreTr, 2 Krennic, 2 DeathTr, and 2 StormTr
>>> 2 Tarkin, 3 TFP, 2 ShoreTr, 2 Krennic, 2 MagmaTr, and 2 RG

I'm not going to bother counting how many the ones above show up in the other 10 Platoons.

There are a grand total of 60 DS Toons plus Wampa. Then you have to minus the DS Toons that are Required, thus excluded from all the Platoons in that Phase, which are at the current Phase 4, Veers and SnowTr.

Is the RNG for Platoon generation that bad, that a Toon does not even show up once?

Even with all my perceived bias, marketing strategy, and new premium Toons, I can understand and forgive putting a few in the last 2 Platoons more than once.

How can anyone enjoy platoons? I hope that was sarcastic...

1. Platoons take away characters use in battles
2. Platoons delay actually performing battle
3. Platoons make another chore for Guild leaders as they have to go thru and use out of game tools to figure out which ones the Guild can and can't complete
4. Platoons make more work for guilds because you have to chase down people to give up those good characters that they are trying to hold onto

The abilities platoons give could have been done many different ways. The way they did it is lazy and boosts their behind the game stats so they can say players are now x% of their roster I the game now.
