Hold off on farming Hoth Scout and Soldier

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 :)

What do you base this on? This is not a "raid", so comparing it to other raids seems like a stretch.

Suggesting that this is permanent and that CG wouldn't simply "move the goal posts" in a few months by having new "gate" characters that a hard farm only I think is almost more naive.

Think about the past few months.

Thrawn...needed Phoenix.
CSL...needed 5 other characters (one of whom was only obtainable through 5 other characters).
The various Assault Battles all use different teams. As do the Omega battles.

I think it is far MORE likely that they will switch it after a while...offering high-priced, low value packs for mediocre "gate" characters" at each switch...rather than keep it the same and allow everyone to simply farm up the needed heroes at their leisure.

My guess is, with each new location, you'll see some corresponding tweaks to existing toons (e.g. Hoth Rebels on Both, Geonosians/Separatists on Geonosis) and some new playable ones (e.g. Endor Rebels, Yavin Rebels).

You have to think of it from a developer perspective. They've put a lot into not only Territory Battles in general, but this Hoth map specifically, both in development time (special missions, special effects; e.g. ion cannon, etc) but also beta testing time.

I can see them adding another map, but I can't see them throwing out the Hoth map. If anything it would be some sort of rotation. But to put that kind of development and testing time into it to throw it out 3 months later?

No, it's here to stay.
