Who else dreads when light geo arrives? I despise it so much. I still play this game because it is fun, most of the time. I have been playing since a month after it came out and have enjoyed most of it over the past 4+ years. I would totally skip the light Geo if my guild mates were not relying on me to put some sort of effort together. I have to force myself to complete each phase of the light geo. Why is phase1 so hard? Definatly harder than P2 and P3. It is deplorable that my relic 7 toons with 6* mods can barely complete 1/4 waves. What's the point to progress any more of my toons if it doest matter if they are maxed out. I am not saying make it easy on us and make light side Geo super easy, but there is little to no hope when you can not compete with maxed out characters. The movies and shows about star wars have always been about "HOPE", well Light Side Geo has totally destroyed my HOPE!! “IN EVERY CORNER OF THE GALAXY, THE DOWNTRODDEN AND OPPRESSED KNOW OUR SYMBOL AND THEY PUT THEIR HOPE IN IT.” CG has destroyed this.

Ummmm...I actually kinda enjoy it. (LSTB...not incoherent rants)

Well luckily you only have to endure it for a week once a month. The battles go quickly, so not much time sink either.Although there is more RNG involved than any other game mode, there are ways to improve your results via strategies, team comps, mods, gear and zetas.Prepare for the AC crowd to come in here and leave snarky one-liners, high fiving each other along the way.

Once you get a chance to run it a few times and figure out the mechanics and what teams and modding works the best it becomes downright enjoyable. There is not much mechanics to learn when a full relic team got wipe after 30 secondesQuoting that post with that reply makes it sound like you haven't played the TB at all. If people are finding teams that work, that suggests there are mechanics to learn even if you haven't thought of them.

You say that, but it is for the most part a well punctuated series of connected sentences; there are some possibilities, but no real need (other than to make it a bit easier on the eye for the people who prefer their information in tweet-sized nibbles) to break it into multiple paragraphs.

OP, I do enjoy LSTB.

I do think it is still slightly over-tuned.

P1 is harder than p2 because non of the platoons bonuses affect p1.

If you have a suitable full R7 team that consistently can’t complete more than a single wave, it is probably either mods or strategy (sorry). Not saying RNG doesn’t happen, and your 4/4 team last TB goes 0/4 this time, mind - because it does, and it is INCREDIBLY frustrating. But that is part of it (In my opinion) being slightly overtuned for the current tools we have available.

Hopefully we get that level cap increase, or a slight retune, or new mod or relic levels, or g13 pieces, or something soon to level the experience out.

Hang in there, it does take a whole guild to run a TB, and yours needs you!

I still do not understand why people think this is a new thing. Platoons in the Hoth TBs affected earlier phases as well, was everyone confused by those as well?
