The event is really good and a big upgrade then just light side territory battles. It might be challenging if you don't have string dark side characters but it's really fun. If you're struggling you may think about investing a little more in the dark side

Kitten... I have g10 Darkside teams that are getting crushed. I’m F2P so my resources are super limited. I’ve spent a month getting my Imperial Troopers all geared to 10 and they’re not even ready for prime time. I want to be able to move on to my other squads, but it looks like if I want to be able to complete a Phase 3 mission, I’ll need them all at g11. It’s rediculous for phase 3. Lord only knows how many g12s I’ll need for phase 6.

It's tuned fine. Yes, there's a big difference in the difficulty of waves 3 and 4, but then again that's exactly where you find that sense of pride and accomplishment — when you complete wave 4.

Yes, I need to develop my troopers more. G8 is not near enough for the IPD mission — but it's always nice to have goals to work towards accomplishing.

My Imperial Troopers are all at g10 with Zetas. It’s NOT tuned fine.

Then you need to look into your mods as well.

I ran with my arena mods on this team. They’re fine. This is phase 3 for crying out loud.

Worse is that this forum shows a history of the same issues of imbalance with Imperial Retaliation and it’s gone unaddressed since the first rework. Not even a “we’re looking into it.” since November!

Then possibly you need to look at your arena mods, . . . Cuz you should not have an issue with arena mods.

Or, you could admit that the difficulty is still unbalanced.

What about it makes it not fun? Just curious, not trying to be rude.

The platoons make it difficult because there just aren't that many great DS teams so when you have to give up a strong character it really leaves handicapped. But that's all that I dislike about it.

Can't tell if you meant you agree and used the wrong word, or if you used to agree but now you don't.

Moved to DS TB sub forum.

First and second waves of CMs are way too easy.

IPD mission is a bit hard considering the 5* requirement.

BH faction need a rework. They are not easy to gear, lack synergy and are weak overall.

Platoons should have less positions to fill since there are not as many DS toons as LS.

Overall it is better than it was when they launched it.

I like that the first 2 waves of CMs has been easier than first released.

Agreed on the IPD Special Mission. My team barely scratched the Rebels:
-Veers 7* G8
-SnowTr 7* G8
-StormTr 7* G8
-ShoreTr 5* G8
-Starck 6* G8

Granted, I wasn't expecting to win, but I was hoping to see that they can do....something.

I got 3 BHs to 7* and G8, my fourth is 4* Level 1 G1. Not even worth the time to try the CM.

As for Toon-Platoons, I'm kinda disappointed. With 180 slots available and 62 DS Toons, odds are each DS Toon should've appeared at least twice. In the current Phase 3, I Platoon'ed 17, and I still have 14 4* DS Toons that are left twiddling their thumbs because they're unwanted.

I think both TBs are getting better. I think in a few more rounds, more bugs will be fixed, and more "balance" issues resolved, we'll get to a point where a lot more people would be happy.
