Sith Bomber in TB [MERGE]

Woooow, Moderators why don't you give notice that my post was merged instead of making it look like it just disappeared. DM would have saved the multiple posts -.-

You are right. It's something they've been doing for a while now but that doesn't mean it's fair...but hey this game isn't about being fair or nice to it's player base it's about money

This is not near a big of deal as people make it out to be.

Yes our guild cannot complete one ship platoon today.

We can't complete any... I am fine not being able to max the ability but at least guarantee F2P in 2 of the platoons.

I see what you’re saying but if it doesn’t affect the total stars you get, what does it matter? Our guild used to get upset about it but then we realized it didn’t make a difference in the total stars we got.

because its an ability we can use tomorrow to help with the missions

I get that but if you get the same amount of stars in tomorrow’s missions that you usually get, then it won’t matter if you couldn’t fill today’s platoons. I would get being upset if it actually cost your guild stars. Until it actually costs my guild stars(which to date it hasn’t) I’ll just shrug and say oh well.

Your guild is not the only Guild playing the game. People finishing five out of six waves in phases 5 + 6 cost their Guild Stars depending on how big their Guild is.

Just because it's not new does not make it right.

I really wonder what cg does for testing they constantly have issues with accidental platoon requirements

Its an oversight

From my understanding given how CG is unable to change it and how spontaneously toons pop up while randomized for every guild:

***Disclaimer: This is an ASSUMPTION***

They cannot change Platoon requirements prior to TB start and platoons are randomly selected at the start of every phase from currently available pool of Lightside characters (if they release a new toon in one hour, the new toon would be included in the new pool for the next phase in 12 hours from now from the algorithm they run). Platoons are decided as soon as new phase launches. This is also why I believe there is no option to preview platoons for future phases and make things extremely easy for officer, and guild leaders in advance

They obviously can make some exceptions such as

(Psuedocode) - if phase is 6 then exclude Characters with tag: Rogue One (since R1 have CM in P6)
Previously R1 toons were in platoons for P6 and due to how ridiculous that was they changed it

These exceptions need to be placed before the next TB launches

Revan did arrive to the game a week ago, so they had plenty of time to fix this oversight

Won’t bore anyone with 6 screen shots of each ship platoon adding up all the recent p2p ships in our platoons.

it may not be new its still wrong. lock up 2/6 of a platoon for the whales and make the rest fair game, how hard is that ? oh I forgot you think marquee characters that are accessible for 10 hours in platoons is FAIR game . well think again!!

I still think the fairest way to "fix" this is to have phases 1-3 curated as they are now, phase 4 have 4 platoons curated and 2 random, phase 5 have 2 curated and 4 random, and phase 6 all random. While many have said that it doesn't really affect things overall in terms of stars (true), it very much affects players' attitudes toward the game. Every single time this comes up, people are annoyed. If it makes so little difference, why perpetuate that?

Finding it somewhat ridiculous that we get an apology for them including Revan in the TB Platoons, yet a totally un-farmable new marquee ship IS intentionally required in fleet Squadrons when unlike Revan it isn't possible to get the ship at higher star levels without huge amounts of money - fleet squadrons are now virtually impossible in non-whale guilds now!
