So I'm just curious about the process for selecting which heroes will go into platoons. Do you take a look at all of the combat data and see which teams are most frequently used in combat and then say, "Ok, lets take the leader of the popular squad and require 6 of these in platoons now." Im asking because there seems to be a lot of Wedge/Biggs, and of course Jyn, the only capable leader of a Rogue One team, and now i see GK in the mix. Any Dev comments or insight would be helpful.

I'll be interested in dev responses.I get the game has to be profitable but requiring wicket and vets at 6 stars is beyond the reach of most guilds. The flow on effect is the later phases of TB are harder and less enjoyable.

don't care about those 3 toons. what is annoying is every guild needing 4 6* hermit Yoda toons to fill bottom platoon. no one in the game has hermit Yoda at 7* and very very small percentage have him at 6*.

I'd guess .5% of the game's entire population has Hoda at 7*
I haven't seen 1 yet and I'm on a mature shard with plenty of spenders who make it their job to 7* every toon as soon as possible.

7* HYoda in my shard. We got a couple that are needed for our platoons, dont have em so we are moving on. Sucks but what can you do.

Keep farming Hoda and complain in the meantime. That's what I'm doing at least. ;)

LOL
I hear ya. We complain in guild. Also we recently got HAAT on farm but none of us have 6-7* GK which is also a requirement now so its getting more annoying. We do what we can though. Im not a fan of those requirements but Im less a fan of the paywall toon requirements so I don't complain TOO loudly.

I wonder if the platoon requirements are different. I haven't seen hermit Yoda yet.

Just another aspect that makes TB completely unenjoyable. What's the point?

They are, after phase 3. All platoons and squadrons for the first three vertical slices are the same for all guilds in the entirety of the game. After that it is "random."

Excuse me while I go buy a $300 7* Tie Silencer just so I can throw him in platoons every week for my guild. What a valuable purchase!

Hermit Yoda will probably be needed for ROTJ Luke.

Platoons are a $3-6,000 a month per guild extortion racket. No one should be bothering with farming characters for them anymore, since CG will just move the goalposts each month before you can finish your farm. And if you actually do drop that much just for the feeling of "pride and accomplishment", you only will get about 1 use before CG hoses you by adding new characters.
