Some people have tossed out ideas here and there in different threads, thought it might be a good idea to put them in one thread and then hit the devs with our ideas. Lots have people have mentioned variations of these 2:For participation tracking: mirror the overall phase tools of "TP contributed" "Platoon MU Assigned" and most importantly "CM Waves Completed" but in a DAILY form. So overall through the phases would persist, but we'd also be able to see who did what that particular day/phase. For this to work best, would also need to log a zero for anyone who hasn't, not just leave them off the ranking board. Helps us ping the people who haven't done their CM's or deployed yet.The ability for officers to LOCK a platoon squad, a CM, and other (non CM/Platoon fill) deployments. Would help us to make sure there are no errant/early hits. For example, if we've got one territory to 2* and have no realistic shot at a 3rd, would be nice to lock that down so everyone knows they have to focus efforts on the other territory. We do communicate this to our members in several ways of course, but this way there couldn't be any "Oh, I didn't see that" issues. Other ideas I saw:@kalidor Show Guild GP based on context - when viewing a ground territory, show character GP. When viewing ships, show ship GP. Show remaining GP in both.And dang... someone else had a great idea in another thread and I can't find it so... tagging some other people I remember posting about this for other ideas: @Vinny_Vader_Vedi @Indominable_J @Dreislao @sying @sneeekypants @KyloRey

(+1-^ vote) great idea.Not my idea but highlighting a phase/platoon was pretty cool.and the other ideas above.

It would be good if we could tag which territory people should put their final deployments into.

I'd like to see two things, the absolute easiest to implement and could be done immediately would be to just increase the log so it persists until the end of the phase. The officers then wouldn't have to monitor the log the whole day to track who is missing, post screenshots and interrogate everyone to try to find out which person didn't attack. Eventually it would be nice to click on the 48/50 attacks and see who still has attacks left.As far as some of the other stuff to prevent members from doing what officers don't want them to, it won't be popular but I believe the onus on the officers for that.

I'd like to be able to click on a character that's required for platoons and see how many guild members have him at the required star level. That way we can easily see if we can fill certain platoons or not. Cause for now I either have to check each member's inventory (I don't have time for that) or ask who has a 5* Lobot. But it can take them a while to answer since we're an international guild.

Anything to make them easier to coordinate would be great.I'd also like to be able to tap a button on special and combat missions to see who has done them (sorted by success, 6/6, 5/6, etc or pass/fail), who has yet to do them, and who is ineligible for them. Broken down in tabs the way Stats is (Completed, Ready, Ineligible).Daily stats also gets my vote, as does the ability to lock out platoons, missions, and deployment. Yes, lockouts can be abused but if my guild was abusing them, I'd find another guild. A persistent message within the TB table screen, like the message in guild chat, would go a long way too. That poor message is being terribly overloaded on days with raids and TBs.Honestly I wish the the devs developing TB could secretly lead a regular, non-whale guild through a couple of TBs (think 20-30* guild). I think that'd really show them where TB coordination is lacking.

To make things easier on the devs, I'd rather have a "This phase Territory points earned" and "This phase Combat Mission Waves Completed."
The only platoon mission option I'd want is to be able to lock out specific platoons which we know we won't complete.

Lock outs will never happen. Control freaks just need to accept this, and/or find more submissive guild members, but stop asking for it. It taints the entire thread with “unreasonable”. pretty much every other idea in here is great!
I would like for officers to be able to change the message not just leader. Also would like the option to set a different and separate persistent message on each Territory. For that matter, separate persistent messages for each area of guilds. I.e. a member goes into pit - banner message, goes into AAT - banner message, goes into TB - message for each territory

I totally agree that we need officer tools to track who isn't participating by phase and to lock down platoons/squadrons/territories from those who just can't seem to follow our directions. So many people don't understand that there is a strategy for maximizing your rewards, especially for small-medium guilds in the TB's.

Lol, if I were a control freak I would have given up being a guild officer in exasperation months ago. "Zero damage means ZERO DAMAGE!" "Deploy south. The bottom one. Overlook!!". "We have no 7* Paaloos, once again do not play your chaze and wiggs there!"
It's like herding cats on a good day.

I've been urging a less-stress approach to TB, as well. Set up your rules, provide some casual guidance, maybe have a talk with the worst offenders... But honestly, epsecially with the GET income from the new special missions, one or two missed stars due to the seemingly inevitable numbskullery isn't going to make a huge overall difference in guild progression.
That's one of the biggest advantages to the shallow rewards curve for TB. The rewards start off pretty high even for low star counts, and the requirements for one-starring each territory is so low to begin with that we shouldn't really be killing ourselves to eek out those extra few 100k TP each phase.
