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.

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.

Suddenly our 10 Wedge and 13 stHan's aren't looking so bad :)
But there's 75 LS heroes, 9-10 of which are difficult to get, so let's say 65 heroes that can be used. There's 90 slots per platoon. It seems pretty odd that there should be more than 5 repeats of any one character.

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?

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.

Our platoons for phase 2 are identical across both territories. Anyone else have this issue? We have had to find 22 chirrut's! And didnt have any jedi. I just wish it would be random across all platoons for all light side characters

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?
