Platoon Mission Duplicates

The developers said they made it so that platoon missions won’t have as many duplicate characters starting this TB. My guild has SEVEN Biggs Darklighters needed for the ion cannon mission and three more for the overlook. TEN Biggs total. Did CG even fix the platoons like they said? Are any other guilds experiencing this?
  • @CG_RyDiggs I think the platoons are working a lot better! thank you!
    Last TB the issue was platoons 1-4 and 5-6 were exact duplicates. This problem was further compounded by the platoons being duplicated on the top and bottom territory. We haven't had the same issue, there's been a variety required. And also the special mission toons haven't been required for the platoons- again issue resolved!

    Your feedback is taken for sure. Having varied random challenges is a part of the design and future TBs may shift more.

    We did add the new 'reward nodes' for many territories, which increases the available Territory Points available.

    I'm not saying it's finished, but we are reading and watching the success and feedback of guilds for sure.

    Thanks for the complete and concise feedback!

    Ummm... Maybe I am missing something @CG_RyDiggs but the new reward nodes only give Guild event tokens (which is excellent) but no TP. The TP you get for deploying the squad to do that battle you would have gotten anyway for deployment. So the battle additions didn't add anymore gain-able TP's
  • Is anybody gathering statistics on the platoon requirements? If so, what stats are they gathering, and do they want to gather from bunch of guilds?

    Just looking at our platoons it seemed unlikely that it is a uniform probability among available characters. DarthBarbie's comments seem to give similar results to ours. (Of course a random distribution will throw up unusual combinations, and those with unusual seeming combinations are more likely to comment so selection bias is an issue. Can't say what is usual without larger samples.)

    Modeling the probability distribution could help in developing farming strategy.
