Hold off on farming Hoth Scout and Soldier

I agree with OP. DON'T farm them. (My guild, please ignore this post and carry on with your farms) B)

First, like many have said - this is not going to be a one-off event, but more likely a guild raid style event, meaning either the guild will accumulate tickets to begin them ( after the original launch ) or it'll be a regular ( my guess would be monthly ) event.

Second, it sounds like they'll probably have SOME kind of utility in this event, but nothing crucial to finishing it.

So yeah, go ahead and farm them, but don't worry about whether you've got them by launch or not - it probably won't matter all that much.

( Now watch them be crucial for the Ion Cannon mission lol )

Anybody from this chain ever come back and go: "I knew it. I freaking told everyone."

I think this will stay forever like the raids

Its going to stay

This is not going to just be a one-time event. Everything about the structure and rewards that have been announced indicate it's basically a new sort of raid. It's true we don't know exactly how often we will be running it, but it will not be a one-time thing.

That said, I don't think anyone should panic-farm HR Soldier or HR Scout. But saving up cantina currency to rapidly star-up HR Scout would be prudent. If HR Scout is useless in the end, you can spend those tokens on something else. HR Soldier will require a longer-term commitment. I wouldnt' be surprised if HR Soldier is the September login character, though. And there will almost certainly be a bundle.

I think Territory Battles will stay forever as well. Just not on Hoth. If they come back to Hoth then yeah it's worth the farm. If not then probably not unless you're close to finishing them now.

They would add a new place in addition to hoth, not take it away to be swapped out. Just like how we still have both raids. But even if they did what you said and changed it out for a new place, that would not be for a very long time. So you'd still get plenty of value from farming the hoth bros. Especially since scout is easy

This is terrible advice, man, come on.
I mean, one thing is to say "hey dont panic farm, everything will be all right, if you cant complete their phase without them, just shrug and move on", but saying people shouldnt farm is just coo-coo.

Hmmm.. Advice isn't very solid, but I would totally go for TB having more than one setting!

Imagine Hoth this month, then tatooine the next. Maybe the Ewok homeworld? I think TB could be adapted to have more than one playing field. Maybe in time :)
