So the Capital Games staff is interested in knowing if we want a 24 hour phase or a 36 hour phase for Geonosis Territory Battles, so I'm taking a poll here to see what people want and whyI think we should shift to 24 hour phases because:-We've done it before during Hoth Territory Battles so its not an unknown experience-Platoons are fixed so guild officers can plan ahead of time who needs to deploy what every run-Event is only 4 days long, we can get our TB rewards within 4 days instead of 7-We can have something else to supplement the 3 day downtime (CG considers TB as events and if we have no running events then we are likely to get something else to replace it) -There is a possibility of running 3 to 4 Territory Battles each month with a 4 day TB phase (More rewards, more Wat / KAM shards for guilds)-Doesn't take too much time to do combats in both territory battles

Hard disagree. Our guild is somewhat casual, and 36 hours gives everyone more time to do what we ask them to do.To some of your specific points-Getting rewards three days faster? Doesn't make a difference to me, since I don't spend rewards the second I get them.-You're kidding yourself if you think we'd get more events during the 3 day downtime. CG does not consider TB or TW or GAC "events" in the sense of "there's always an event, at least one, every day." Those events are assault battles and resource events (omega battles, credit heists, smuggler runs, etc.). -You're kidding yourself even further if you think they will run more than two a month and give us more rewards and shards.

I am the main TB coordinator for my guild and I would love to have a 24hr timer and more TBs per month.

I can't auto battles for 4/4 on Geonosis like I could on Hoth. Hence battles take longer. Having two accounts I prefer the 36 hr phases to have time for everything.We still rely on filling platoons that give bonus in the active phase. In my international guild with members in different timezones the 36 hrs phases result in less stress when having to fill platoons before doing combats.

Q: Why the recent decrease in the number of events? Is it possible to ensure some events are running each day?

A: TopHat - Ultimately, this is the plan for us. We want to have something running everyday. We've had some transcription errors that have resulted in holes in the schedule, but we're building out our process to make sure we have something everyday. Bear in mind that we also think of our Territory Battle, Territory War, and Grand Arena suite of events as padding the overall daily schedule.

1. According to this, we might get something for the 3 day downtime

2. I'm fine with the 24 hour timer even if we don't get more than two territory battles a month, it is an unrealistically optimistic look but perhaps @CG_TopHat is willing to comment on whether there is a possibility of having more than two TB per month if the schedule changes to 24 hour format

I'd like to see it go to 24 hours. 36 hour phases just take to long.

I prefer the 36 hours, it gives it a lax feel. is it necessary, no probably not.

if they are not going to bring in more TBs per month (which they probably wouldn't do) then I dont see this change gaining much traction

as time goes on and they add more things to do and we see more and more overlap, I see why leaving it at 36 could be nice for the general player base. we have to remember that there are always guilds moving up to this event not everyone is going to have it "on farm"

I like the 36 hours

LOL at tophat saying, they are padding their daily schedule, that sounds really weird and negative.

24 hours pros:
phase ends at same time everyday, which just makes timing easier
rewards quicker (I mean, assuming TB doesn't start "later" lol)
IF they added something to make up for downtime then 24h is a no-brainer imo

36:
we're kinda used to it
more lax, I guess

I vote 24, especially if they added something, but I'm ok with 36

Ideally it would be 24h and they'd run them more often, but I doubt that's a possibility due to game economy (sadface)
