Hoth Rebel Soldier Territory Battle Requirements - UPDATE 9/1/17

Territory Battles is great. This is a fun and addictive game. While there are certain frustrations, that is part of what makes it enjoyable (e.g. Old ben was one of the few characters, i did not farm so I missed out on CLS, but I will be ready next time... that's part of the game).

One request, please keep territory battles to 24 hours phases. My guild has 46 million galatic power and many members participate once a day. Territory Battles has been fun for our whole guild. By changing phase length to 12 hours, would reduce participation and benefit only the elite guilds.

Regardless, please continue with the great work.

Thanks guys... and loving Territory Battles. Great job guys.
Yes, I'd rather be able 3* everything, and yes, I'd rather be able to get ROLO shards str8 away. But love the new game mechanic.. great stuff! :-)

why in platoons we need p2w toons like paploo 4*, who is not farmable????? or millenium falcon????cmon - teritory battles are only for pay to win. shame.

They said they would look into that, but they can't change it during a Territory Battle.

That doesn't seem to be intended, obviously.

That's weird. I don't have a 4* paploo, but I'm still able to participate in territory battles. Wonder what's wrong with your version of the game?

It's completely random which toons are needed, every time.

Well I do have an isue ..your compelling us to spend with soo little time to get the new Han Solo ..ergo if the entire guild dont spend gems we're out of the first new Leia shards thats bad...and if that wouldnt be enough ..we're most sure to be off the next ones ...you should have give it more time to raise the han before you started the new wars

Surely this is no different from any character released on a hard/cantina node.
Some players will refresh and acquire shards faster, while others don't. TB will likely encourage players to group up with players of similar dedication and/or spending habits. This is not necessarily a bad thing.

I think the customer support staff should be reading the forums. It is clear that they missed this post. I was one of those unlucky players who hasn't received their ROLO shards (when the rest of my guild got them). So I sent in a help ticket and eventually got a response that was not only unhelpful, but also contained mis-information:

Thank you for contacting EA Help.

My name is Ajitav and I would assist you with your issue today. I have checked your case details and found that you are having issue with Shards. It should not have happened, however please be assured, we will do our best to address your concern.

Please go through the below information regarding this

Hoth Rebel Soldier Territory Battle Requirements - The Star requirement of the Hoth Rebel Soldier in the Special Mission of Territory Battles, the requirement is a 7* version, not 5*. 5* was shown in a preview video and that content wasn't final.

We do apologies for the confusion.

And for a detailed explanation from the studio if you wants to provide feedback, please go through this forum thread: https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/130151/hoth-rebel-soldier-territory-battle-requirements-clarification

So it appears that the customer support people have not been told about this update to the HRSoldier requirements. And they also haven't helped me get my ROLO shards. A bad showing. @CG_RyDiggs you should really do all you can to ensure that the customer support people have the most up-to-date information.

Territory Battles have been great. This hasn't been. It's a shame.

My favorite part of the TB complaints are around required toons. They told you it was on hoth months ago. There were leaks. What toons did you think would be needed for a battle on hoth? Have you not watched Empire Strike Back? Next, even raids require specific toons. Rancor did, hAAT did and I am sure the next raid will too. It isn't supposed to be easy. At least everyone has a shot. There are guilds that still can't complete an hAAT.

One improvement I would like is more special missions. So we can get rewards everyday or when they go back to the 12h format to have special missions in 2, 4 and 6 so you get something everyday.

The best idea out of TBs is a shop. I wish the raids would move to this structure. Because GK and Han shards are really a waste or you should be able to use those rewards to purchase what you want. Big props to the Developers on this for TB.
