@CG_Kozispoon , it's really sad that the devs can not see how instituting a mandatory lock on a three star phase is counter productive to guild members looking to build and develop their squads. There is no justifiable reason to make a lock mandatory on three star phases. If anything, this will simply discourage players from trying because unless it is later phases, they can't do anything other then possibly deploy in a platoon, and of course, they still can play the bonus missions, yet they can't run combat missions. How exactly does this promote and encourage a team work matters atmosphere in the guild, how does this cause players to strive to improve across the board when they will be unable to even try combat mission in several phases? Overlooking the senseless mandatory lock, the rest of the proposed ideas have merit, however, that is all overshadowed by the ABSOLUTE SENSELESS MANDATORY LOCK AT THREE STARS.
