Hold off on farming Hoth Scout and Soldier

Especially since scout is easy

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.

Relax guys I didn't say don't farm at all. Just wait until we know more. If I was guessing I would think there would be a rotation of territories with Hoth being in there but who knows at this point.

I'm not sure if they'd put so much time and resources into something that's gonna be short-term. We'll find out I guess, but I've already put so much effort into HR Soldier the past couple of weeks so might as well finish it up. I'm at 43/85. HR Scout I have in a good place because I farmed him to do the EP event.

It might be like jawas and the AAT raid.... They might get a bonus, but you do not NEED them

Territory Battles are not short term... Territory Battles in specific places.... Who knows. There's value to them to putting it in a new place every time. They can make a new required character(s) and watch everyone go crazy so who knows

I was thinking this too. We simply don't know enough yet to warrant a panic farm.

^actually we do know

Yeah ... this is really bad advice. Keep farming your Hoth Rebels, if you don't have them.
And when you are done with them, don't forget about Lobot, Ewok Scout, FOTP, FOST, and Urorrur'r'r. You should always have a hard-node only character on the farm. Use it to fulfill your dailies.
