Platoon Requirements

Do the reward difference between 2 to 3 TB stars really justify the effort? Seems like it isn't.

The rarer something is the more it is worth. And it's 2-3 TB stars at a time. At certain levels you get better prize boxes. You get more currency which gets you gear faster. If people are working on TB, it will end up being more than 2-3 stars unless you're already pulling down 40+.

In the end not focusing on completing as much of TB as you can (as a guild) will make you fall behind which will cost you crystals which will slow your progress gearing people below t11, and become a self-perpetuating cycle.

I guess I'm done with this thread. You can try and ignore TB if you want, but don't say I didn't warn you.

Or, more accurately, spend $$$.

Just to be clear, having the same 6 platoon sets in every single territory isn't a bug? I'm not even complaining about the P2P characters/ships since they're technically "farmable" now, but the fact that we've now had 5 of the exact same Platoons can't be working as intended. There are some characters used 16 times in one day while more than half of the light side roster isn't used at all. @CG_Kozispoon @CG_RyDiggs

Maybe this would be a good time to re-visit the LS exclusivity in character platoons. The devs knew it was a mistake that non-farmable characters ended up platoons (they said so themselves). Apparently they can't change it? (doubtful, but whatevs).
As we all know, DS characters are COMPLETELY useless in TB. There was a lot of hype around TB with "using your entire roster", and no one can claim that hitting "deploy all" is in any way gratifying. DS ships are already in ship platoons, so change the algorithm to randomize all characters into platoons. It will ease the current requirements, which have been universally acknowledged as needing improvements.
Just my 2 cents on the matter.

A huge part of TBs is obviously creating another way to try to force players to farm little used characters/ships and spend money or fall behind on G12 gear and ROLO and Hermit Yoda shards. That's why the Hoth Bros are mandatory. That's why Lobot, Ugnaught, Bistan, Bodhi and Pao show up much more frequently than any of the Jedi, Clones, Resistance, etc. characters. That's why Platoons require non-farmable characters and ships and why it's WAI for them. Sucks but really not surprising.

Good lord, that's not what most people are saying at all. Your selective reading is often ridiculous, just so you're aware.

Not convinced that's the reason. Hoth is a Rebel Territory Battle so we need Rebels and other Light Side characters from the original trilogy the most.

I'm sure there will eventually be something similar to a Geonosis Territory Battle where we need Jedi and Clones more than the Rebels.
