I'd be down with 12 hr phases if it meant we get 4-6 tbs a month.

Lol have you met CG.

Yeah might throw off they're precious in game economy if they ran more a month

Fun fact: they didn't make them 36 hours on purpose. While they haven't told us the reasoning, I would bet cash money that we got 36h phases because they hard-coded TB to be a 6 day event and they couldn't change that without breaking Hoth.

I still say they should be 12h phases like they were originally planned way back in the day. A 6 day event doesn't allow enough time for guild movement.

You would lose that bet, FYI.

Oh? What was the bug then? I get why they won't bother changing it now, but why didn't they fix it last year, perhaps when LSTB came out?

Our intention with the Geonosis Territory Battle was to have a shorter experience consisting of four 24-hour phases. Unfortunately, due to a bug with scheduling Territory Battles, we will have to extend each phase to 36-hours for the foreseeable future.

Edit: They've also given the same reason for why we can't have a review phase at the end. I would be very interested in knowing the actual reasoning if they've been lying to us.

can you quote the remark about the review phase?

A quick search turned up nothing, so I concede it could be my own conjecture. All I found was "maybe we'll do something," but also always seems to be put into the QoL Bin, which we're never getting again.

So not "lying to us". got it.

No, that was secondary. And I never said their given reasoning was what I said it was, just that they said there was a bug with scheduling that made it not possible. So if that's not the reason we never got 24h Geo phases and why we can't have a TB review, then yeah they're lying to us.

But, really, you said I would lose that bet. Why would I lose that bet? What was the bug that caused them to not give us 24h Geo phases and what is the other bug that prevents them from giving us a TB review?

this is what you said. no mention of a bug, just this. which is wrong, so you would lose that bet.

I never said the bug wasn't the reason, and I'm still unclear where they said we couldn't have a review period.

Here is the mention of a bug:

Our intention with the Geonosis Territory Battle was to have a shorter experience consisting of four 24-hour phases. Unfortunately, due to a bug with scheduling Territory Battles, we will have to extend each phase to 36-hours for the foreseeable future.

That was taken from the scheduling announcement in June 2019.

They have said in many Q&A's that they will "look into" a review period, and in one of them they mentioned some technical issues surrounding it. But we've been asking for that for years, so it's obvious they just aren't going to do it.

And, again

which is wrong, so you would lose that bet.

How is it wrong? What was the bug that is preventing them from making Geo TB 24 hour phases?
