Looking for a dev response about whether or not non-FTP characters, new ewoks, tie reaper, falcon, are going to be required for platoons again or if this issue was fixed?@CG_Kozispoon

I applaud what you are trying to do and patterns will emerge but you are going a bit overboard.1. You list 45 characters of "interest", way to many points to track/be useful for TB where you are trying to herd 50 cats. A lot of those are not even rare/difficult to get, pretty much characters in the GW or Cantina and even Arena Store should be common/covered, the hard node characters will most likely be the rarer ones. You also mention Hermit Yoda which I don't think has appeared in any platoon. Now obviously this is really situational depending on the veterancy of the players/guild, newer guilds will have more gaps...2. Just a suggestion but your "format" is a bit complicated to get the data you want. Just ask for what was the highest #s you have seen for what character, what character. Which characters stopped you most from completing a platoon. Yes there is a pattern where toons are, Phase 5 had a whole bottom row of phoenix in the bottom territory but I think even though this is true still doesn't really change the fact at the end of the day there most likely will be enough randomization that you need to focus on coverage as stated is your original goal.To answer your initial question of how many of a character was needed: I heard directly from shard/guild mates that the # can be up to 11 and even 12 times in a single phase. The 11 was Lobot, can't quite recall the 12. Though I directly saw 5-6 being common each phase for my guild.Toons my guild ran into issues with (88m GP):Wiggs: Wedge is just the strongest rebel lead, biggs is his partner. While you can generally get away with giving up biggs, wedge is more difficult just because his leadership is sooo good for TB.Chaze: Mixed bag here, lots of people still don't have them complete but we did hear from guildies not wanting to give up their g7 Bazes. These are like wiggs, a critical combo.Resistance: While these were not difficult for us last time around, they will soon be since they are sooo effective in later phases, more guildies will farm them and not want to give up their "wins"New Ewoks: still p2p all paploo and logray were a auto no for us phase 5+Falcon: duh, though we didn't see more than 1 in any given phase.Phantom/Ghost/Gauntlet: at around 5-6 stars... These will drop from the list within a month or so since they are in fleet.Kylo Shuttle/Reaper: just like ewoks but worse since impossible to farm beyond 3-4*

Our 1-4 were all identical but no problem filling them with only 2* required. Will be more complicated if it's the same way in future territories though.

I'd suggest renaming the thread title... I have a feeling a lot more people are going to be asking this question. Seems all 1-4 platoons were identical with only 5&6 being unique.

Bump...

@CG_Carrie @CG_Kozispoon @CG_RyDiggs

Just curious if this is intended. It's manageable at 2 and 3 star but going to be rough beyond that. Did guilds get more stars than you wanted on the first go around?

Nobody said it was a bug Kozi. When your entire player base thinks something is unfair, you should consider a better answer than "just go spend thousands of dollars to hope you land a Millenium Falcon."

Yeah this. Moreover, @CG_RyDiggs specifically said this was something that would be reviewed (see: https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/comment/1252420/#Comment_1252420). That communication, 10 days ago, prior to this TB, was the last we heard on the issue. It's reasonable to ask if there has been any determination made on the issue. Saying it's not a bug ignores the fact that we already know it's not a bug, and makes it sound like you're unaware of RyDigg's statement to the community.

Can we get some sort of communication on whether or not a resolution has been reached?

Well I guess that response says it all.
Not even like you can purposefully acquire any of these rare ships unless you gamble on the ship packs and hope for a shard or two.

And there are like 12 people in the entire community who have them, they can start charging money to switch guilds :open_mouth:

Hiya!
This does not appear to be a bug. Recruit Players to your Guild that have these Characters in their roster, or you can acquire them on your own.

@CG_Kozispoon
It may not technically be a bug, but it is also not random. The platoon requirements were identical today across both territories for 6 platoons for us. We had 26 Bistan's needed today. 3 in one platoon alone (duplicated in another platoon naturally). This is doable at 3 and 4*s. But going forward, that's untenable. That's not WAI from how you and @CG_RyDiggs have described the platoon system. We still haven't heard from the Dev team regarding Phoenix and Rogue 1 popping up in platoons in the same phase they're required. If we get to phase 5 and need 26 Ezra's alone... that kind of breaks the TB for all of us. And yeah... ships platoons. Please make the ships you have in platoons farmable in some real way.

Hiya!
This has been flagged as a bug and sent up to our team for further review. Thanks!

We need 4 Han Solos.
We've never even summoned Tier VII Rancor yet and now we need 4 copies of the characters whose shards are exclusive to it.

Not to mention 20 Landos, 14 Leias and 14 Lobots, and 12 Scariff Pathfinders. *lol*

Both unfortunate circumstances but well off topic for the thread.

Only the need for Han Solos is off topic. The 20 Wedges/Landos is a function of the platoons repeating themselves, which is exactly the topic of the thread.

Han solo comment is on topic.

Their guild requires 4 of them. The issue they are having is that they havent done a single hpit so how could they fill tbis requirement. Would a guild not doing HAAT have a fair shot if they got even 1 gk in a platoon? There would be more guilds upset about that because more are unsuccessful at that high end raid.

The main point is that platoons are bugged and identical platoons are not WAI because the odds of that happening on multiple occasions are microscopic.

I'm not saying it's not a relevant topic, I'm saying it's not this topic. The complaint there is that nobody in the guild has Raid Han because they don't do heroic raids. That would be an issue for them whether there was 1 Raid Han or 20. It's not about the platoons being identical, which is what this thread is about.

Just to lighten the thread back up a bit.. could you please then make ships like the falcon and reaper farmable instead?, they have been out a very long time now and doing so would appease many of the complaints if there was a realistic way of getting these ships to the required star levels!

Thanks!
