RotE, how did your guild do?

268 M GP, we didn't play it, wanted to wait to play it instead of LS to try our luck.

Any recommendations? I already saw that it seems worth more to put characters into platoons than using them for fights because you get more points.

For anyone that wants to play around with it, I have created a platoon and star tool on the website for my bot.

I'd love to check it out - what's the URL?

https://web.c3po.us/tb

But you have to have your allycode linked to the bot at this time

Didn't know that was your bot - yeah, we have it set up on our server. Thanks for making it available!

Edit: Just the platoons utility alone is going to save me TONS of time. Thank you so much for this.

21 stars, gave me enough GET3 to buy 5 whole KAM shards. Thank the force gods we’ll be doing LSTB again next opportunity. Or it will take a year to finish KAM.

If your guild hasnt got KAM at 7*s then this TB isnt for you guys.

My guild is still working on KAM, but we're going to alternate. I don't think KAM is a sufficient measure of how prepared a guild is for this. We haven't tried it yet, and won't until next month so I don't know anything for sure yet, but I suspect the absence of KAM won't hurt our star count enough to make it not worth doing.

Just saying that if KAM is your goal, this new TB isnt for you.

Edit: double post for some reason

Yeah if you can fill the platoon you're better off using the characters you have for that because of points difference. This also makes it worth to fill odd numbers of platoons, where previously you would do in pairs. Just make sure you can actually fill it.

THIS ^^^

Can't stress enough that you have to be able to fill every single character in the Platoon, but, almost all the platoons call for some crazy requests.

Either new stuff like Jabba or things like Ugnaught at Relic-5.

Our guild had I think 2-4 platoons total in the 6 days that we were able to actually fill.

So the next few months there will be a lot of gearing various toons up to R5+ that no one wants to do or taking lower R3-4 toons from GL Reqs up to R7 for use in the 1st 3 Phases of Platoons.

Got to help the guild. Sacrifices must be made for the greater good of the guild.

@Mephisto_style id say it feels different because the points are weighted so much towards platoons rather than CMs, for me anyway. Getting spanked in a CM in RotE for basically no points and not affecting the star count feels better than getting spanked (particularly by B1 droids FML) for no points and losing out on big points and stars in LS Geo. To me the CMs in RotE feel like a bonus rather than a requirement, makes the whole TB less of a time sink.

Oh, I totally get the time sink thing.

Lordy, this reminds me of when LS GEO TB came out and TW instructions were fill platoons and deploy because we didn't have enough people that could win combat missions. We were basically just platooning and deploying for 8-10 stars.

The verdict was that it was not fun.

I agree on the not fun. Platoons are not fun. The combats that you can actually do are ok, but you aren't really playing this new TB, you're just collecting for platoons.
