I'm no photoshop expert, but a setup like this would really help with the confusion. A placeholder for each team that needs to be set.

Then you'll have people who forgot to scroll down :shrug:

I'd also like to know why our back squadrons are hidden...from us

Doesn’t the counter in each TW zone zone change color once the zone is filled?
Maybe just repeat that here? Seems like an easy fix that would help out here.

I get that, and I wouldn't be upset if they made a change, but at the same time, where does it end?

Do we really want CG, with all their current struggles, to also try to anticipate every screw up some random idiot can come up with? No matter what, there will be screw ups, and the only question is, what percent of idiot screwups we want to allow.

Personally, I'm comfortable with about a 10% idiot screwup rate. Meaning that if 90% of the ppl can figure out that you have to read, think, etc and get it right then we're good.

I’m with you mate the UI is misleading. I left a message for my guild to flag it

I get that if you aren't used to setting a certain number of teams, it can be confusing, but as others have said, it does show the number of teams required in each zone. Plus, you should know you moved up a Division, so you should understand what that means. Finally, it's a mistake you should only make once.

With everything else going on and that is needed in game, I just don't think it's worthwhile to even address this. Players should understand the rules and requirements, and if you don't, take your one lump and learn.

I wonder what % of players thought the extra shards came with the Hyperdrive Bundle?

I’d think 30% feels right. And probably 80% initially.

There was no clear indication that I needed to place 3 squads in one spot, 4 in another, and yet 2 bottoms right! How stupid!!!! Totally frustrating! CG, put some effort into making event instructions clear! This event is now a waste of time because of your terrible communication and event planning!

You can hit set defensive squads until you can’t click it anymore. If it’s still an active button than you need more squads.

@Bulldog1205
What are they changing this too then, to make it better?

Well, my preference would be for them to actually fix the bug that people could exploit to modify their rosters after GA lock. This is just a band aid because they either couldn’t or were unwilling to fix the core issue.

Outside of that, just make it like TW where you can leave and rejoin if you have upgrades you want to make.

Edit: whoops, I forgot what discussion this was. Too many GAC complaints I can’t keep them all straight ?

Yeah. This is a different discussion.

Just keep deploying teams until the option to do so goes away.

So you can screenshot the board and share here, on discord, on facebook, wherever, without people seeing what you deployed back there.

Also your back squads aren't hidden. Tap the section, hit enter, you'll see all of them.
