Platoon Requirements

Trying to convey technical details, while at the same time attempting to be witty and cool, never seems to work well for most people. It's probably just better practice to focus on the answer, rather than the fluff.

Yes there is a thread about this in the bugged section. Have to say that we didn't get it in our TB.

Yeah, we noticed it... but didn't see it as a bug.

The thing that bugged me was that there were unfarmable Ewoks in there. So... zero chance to get the platoons to lvl3. Same for ships-platoons with Kylo's ship in there.

Fix that please defs.

There are multiple threads about it.

I've spent thousands on this game and cannot fill many platoon spots, I have a 4* falcon and 3* reaper. At some point it gets a little ridiculous as to what's required. I've spent enough, I'm tired.

I feel like there is a lot of misplaced anger here. Why *wouldn't* these modes include p2p characters? We have been told over and over and over again that all characters will eventually be farmable. You can't complete all platoons because of the new Ewoks this time? Well, in a couple months you will be able to. Can't blame them for giving us something to work towards.

No, you won't be able to complete platoons in a few months, because they'll require new pay only characters - the veteran smugglers, new Battlefront guys, and Last Jedi characters. The goalposts will forever move so that non-whale guilds can't complete the platoons except by extremely lucky RNG.

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?

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.

So, I have re-read this, and it does mention the ships. @CG_Kozispoon @CG_RyDiggs how are we supposed to recruit people with ships that cannot be obtained even through spending $2,000? Do you have a list of these players so they can be courted?

Well, it seems I have a few players I need to kick because they don't even want to participate in TB. Probably cheaper to actually pay someone to join your guild with the MF then make any attempt to get it.

In this case, MF meaning Millennium Falcon and not vulgar language. I'd like to think that goes without saying....

My hopes are that things become farmable in good time, my assumption is the P2P's will reap the benefits for a couple of TB's and then they will release some locations for farming so everyone can fill out platoons.

What happens if you don't? What happens if you get 5/6 or 4/6 platoons filled and move forward? Why does everyone feel this burning need to have 100% completion right out of the gate. It's the 2nd TB. Ever.

The devs come on here and tells you that they are listening/reading and the response on here is outrage and whining. That's what you want them to hear? That's what you want them to respond to?

I've been part of online gaming communities since the original Diablo. CS here is better then most. CS on ST:T was good when that first started, too, but over time the hostility simply made them reduce their involvement. Keep banging the pots and pans, though, I'm sure that will get them to agree to everything you want.

To my original point... recognize that these games are built on progression and both short and long term goals. Everyone getting everything from the start doesn't benefit anyone. If you're lucky enough to be in a guild that has a handful of serious whales, enjoy your handful of extra shards, tokens & crystals. I'm ok seeing my guild progress and work better together to move up a few stars this time around.
