Is there any time between the end of this one and the start of the next? What window will there be for guilds to add new members going forward? We have a few guys that want to join my guild, after they collect their TB rewards. Trying to understand what timeline we have from then to join and participate.

The event takes 6 days, so I think they have 24 hours before the next event starts

No one knows.But if you're asking my guess? I would say that the next one will probably be Friday-Sunday with 12 hour phases so they can see what our reaction is to that. They haven't decided which phase-length to go with yet (at least they haven't publicly announced it, anyway) so they'll have a set of data with 24-hour phases and will need a 12-hour phase set of data to compare it with.I'd be fine with that, but my concern would be that they SHOULD do a second 24-hour phase Territory Battle first. We've made a lot of play-mistakes with this first one (trying to 2* two places resulting in only 1*ing both, deploying to platoons that we can't complete because of character requirements, etc) and there were a lot of bugs on the first day that have been fixed. The next 24-hour phase Territory Battle, even with no alterations, will yield much better data than this first one.All that said--This could be what they plan on doing anyway. 24-hour phase battles are supposed to run Wednesday through Tuesday. This one got pushed back a day because of that training droid bug, but it'll still end Wednesday morning--just in time to start one on the "normal" schedule.Hopefully they just let us know what they plan on doing ahead of time.

I see no problem letting the first 2 or 3 go 24 hours. Let guilds get a rhythm/plan together. This first one was an eye opening mess for my guild every day someone was unsure about something and we are all very active in discord. 1 or 2 more and we will have it worked out. It's summer...a lot of us work long hours right now. 12 hour phases would suck.

DEVs never said it's weekly. That's a misconception from one of Ahnald's videos, where he said it. There was a Mobile Gamer video the same day with CG Dan on it, where CG Dan says outright that we shouldn't expect it to be weekly or to remain the schedule the first one was announced to be. It sounded like it would be a variable schedule, or they were at least not sure of the schedule at the time, so Ahnald must have been drawing inferences rather than going on sure information. When CG Carrie posted the changed schedule, many people inferred from her words that the new schedule would be weekly, but she said no such thing, only that it would be Wed-Tues, not that it would be Wed-Tues every week. So the person above who said that no one knows is right. We have no idea if it will be weekly on the Wed-Tues schedule for a while, if it will be every other week on that schedule for a while, if it will revert to the six hour schedule starting on Fridays and be weekly or every other week, or if it will be unpredictable and show up every once in a while like the heists. Until they tell us more, anyone who tells you they know what it will be is going way beyond the evidence we have.

Iam hoping for 12h phases, this Tb was much too long in my opinion.

When TB ends, will the next start immediately?

In my opinion there is no need to start immediately a new TB. 24 or 12h could not be so much important, sicne the time really used to fight is not so long. The large and very boring part (platoon and deploying) has no benefit coming from a 24h-period.....
I'd rather like waiting 1-2 weeks to play the next TB, but having some changes.... no request in platoons of impossible characters (high stars Paploo) or impossible ships (millennium Falcon???? Are they joking?)
In general, I'd like a more fight-based structure.
Platoons are too boring and you cannot fight well if you have to scarifice there your Chirrut, Baze....

With only 24H between TB, I'm wondering if there's a participating cool down like raids?

You cant participate in a TB if you joined a guild when it was already started from what i understand.

I wonder if they'll be able to get the platoon list updated for this coming Thursday.

Correction, it starts the Thursday following the initial launch which is this Thursday. There is only a 24h period from the end of the first one and the start of the next one.

@Ledinis yes, that I knew, but if there's a participation cool down of 24h, it will hurt people that switch between TB's, as there's only 24H between them

That's the big question that's being mulled over in many guilds right now. Some guilds may want to switch out people but not if that means that they can't participate in the next TB...

That's why I ask... The guilds will need to know, else some could really mess themselves up by switching out people and then facing the problems because the newly accepted players can't participate because of the cooldown and the players sent off are equally screwed for a week...
