It fails at the single most important job for a game: being fun.

LS tb isnt fun at all. 90% of units cant compete in it even at Relic 7stop comparing it to other stuff this isnt like them at all unless we get relic 8-10 i dont see this getting easier to the majroity.

I love how the light side geo TB makes you feel you’ve gotten so much out of your investment. All the work I put into JKR, GMY, Bast and they can’t even clear one wave in phase one. I know when the three of them can’t kill one DDK, that it was all worth it. It’s not fun. I dread this TB every time. And we cannot even complete it at this juncture. Almost a year later and it is still impossible to get full stars, and most guilds aren’t even touching P4 yet. Yay for content.

If they had made a calibration to lower the difficulty of the first wave of every battle it would have made it a lot more fun for everybody and also slightly increased the number of stars earned by weaker guilds but still keeping the difficulty of fully clearing it. Setting the choice for a guild between autoing an ancient Hoth or just deploying troops in the “new” Geo is strange. Both options are boring and basically driving people away from playing the game. Which for a company that wants more players to spend seems counter productive.

Yeah, 220mil guild, we only do it every other LSTB for GET2 tokens. I've never once seen a player of mine even happy about winning the rare ship battle or 4/4 squad battle. Usually it's just "Oh, didn't expect that, guess I won". Once we max out both ships it's back to full time LS Hoth, and hoarding just the DSGeo and TW GET2 rewards for whatever else gets put in the GET2 store later on.

JKL, Rey, Mothma and Rebels with Threepio & Chewie are 4/4 teams. Yes, some of them are not yet farmable, but the said "tools" already exist.

Name 2 different Jedi squads with no overlapping members that can 4/4 the Jedi missions. Since, after all, you are required to fight two Jedi-only missions in the same phase.

Don't forget to allow Padmé to borrow the Jedi she needs for her special mission at the same time.

Shouldn't be any problem, since the tools exist. 5 Jedi, 5 Jedi, + Padmé and JKA and whatever Jedi friends you think those two need: you've got all three of those squads nailed down right? With no overlapping characters? We're eager to hear about them.

As a matter of fact:
SM: Padme, GK, JKA, C3/R2, AT
CMs: JKL, OB, HY, zBarriss, Ezra/Aayla (one of Aayla/Ezra will be an unconventional g13, not such a high price)
JKR, GAS, GMY, Jolee, Bastila

You still have Shaak Clones and presumably Rey for the other 2 CMs, even if you don't have Threepio & Chewie or Mothma yet.

Watched the tutorials, tried this team, got trashed. Multiple times. Only non-r5+ was C3, which shouldn't matter much.

CMs: JKL, OB, HY, zBarriss, Ezra/Aayla

I believe this one b/c I've seen game play with JKL showing 4/4 with Junior Varsity garbage, but doesn't help since I don't have JKL. Still have 3 toons left to pull to relic to qualify for his event, so... depending on when the event comes back, I can't even know for sure that I'll qualify then. If it comes in 3 days, probably not. If it comes in 3 weeks, def. yes. If it comes between those two????

Even after collecting JKL, however, I'll have to relic 5 new toons. Wonder how much extra gear I'll get during my one LS Geo TB per month b/c of gearing up all those toons?

JKR, GAS, GMY, Jolee, Bastila

Yeah, this one I don't believe. JKR regularly gets smashed in these missions. Is it possible? Sure. The right RNG an r7 JKR squad could do it, but I'm pretty positive from the experience of my guild mates that this squad does NOT get 4/4 even 50% of the time.

Could it be my mods? Sure. But if that's the case, then it doesn't make me hate the game mode less, since I've been playing since January 2016 and I've farmed, sliced, and sold quite a lot of mods over the years. If this all comes down to whether I've had unusually good (or bad) luck on mods, then that's the same as saying that I lost the battle before it started.

And that is exactly what I didn't like about LS Geo when I made the OP, so we've simply come full circle.

Hey, I'm glad I can 4/4 one mission every time now, and I look forward to JKL giving me another mission to 4/4, but no. I don't think that we have the tools to 4/4 all CMs at this point.

If you think it's all RNG you need to work on your mods, comps, strats, or all of the above.

I agree with you there, but there was an alternative: we were allowed to opt in to DS Geo TB no matter whether it was LS Hoth or DS Hoth on the schedule. We have only very recently been seeing guilds max DS Geo TB, and if they had released LS Geo at the same time as the GL toons early this year, they still would have introduced it (IIRC) slightly before the first 33-star performance on DS Geo.

And, of course, there is at least one other alternative: they could have focussed on releasing the toons designed to maximize LS Geo performance (like 3PAC, MonMothma & Jedi Luke) mac closer to the start of LS Geo, whenever that was.

Or they could have tuned this to be somewhat more difficult than DS Geo TB rather than an order of magnitude more difficult. Then they could have released two new TB's in 18-24 months that were tuned to this level of difficulty or even a little harder. I don't think asking for a new TB every 2-3 years is asking too much.

OP says she hates LS Geo, I have no reason to believe she's lying.

With that said, I enjoy it. Good teams and mods help though.

The antidote to LS Geo is a healthy dose of LS Hoth aka EzPz mode! :D
