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?

I agree with reducing phase time to the original time frame of 12 hours. I just wish the Dev's would've posted something today about when and what tweaks they've made to the next territory battles.

It should be next Thursday, giving us a day off between TBs.

Rejoice! The remaining components of our Territory Battle update are going live today! This means all the highly anticipated content detailed in our forum Version Update notes <> will finally be visible in game. This also means that the first Territory Battle is going live at 6AM PST/1PM UTC on Thursday morning, August 31st. It will last for six days, and the next Territory Battle will start the following Thursday.

They will probably need some time to code whatever changes they want to do. Fine tune it, so to speak.

Devs had originally said the next TB would happen 24 hours after this current one closes. Could we push that back a couple of days?
I think they'll need time to tweak and we could use some time to regroup/recruit before the next one begins.
Would be nice if we could have some constructive conversations between Devs and the community before moving on. Like this platoons thing.... Devs had stated the Rogue 1 and Phoenix toons wouldn't be needed for platoons (they may have said in that specific territory... but come on) in the phase they're required. Today we had Phoenix required in platoons and seems likely based on that we'll need Rogue 1 in platoons as well. Doing that makes those platoons excessively difficult to fill or we're unable to do the combat missions.
I'm suggesting maybe 3 days, longer if devs need the time to tweak.
Sorry if this has been suggested in a mega already... but ain't nobody got time to read all that.

Most people. But many systematically don't have time at weekends. Pretty sure there's a large demographic of bored-at-work players, who will be systematically screwed by something big and time consuming happening every weekend. I know I will.

I wish they delay the second TB for 1-2 weeks until it's perfect. Perfect i mean no bugs everywhere.. for better gaming experience :frowning:
