Malevolence STILL useless?! Really?!?

I'd like to compliment CG for fixing this bug by updating the description in the text box. This change was very difficult to code and I'm very proud it only took them 2 months.

This thread has transcended amazing.

They claimed it was intended to use your entire roster. They gave bonuses to era specific teams and said they would never be required in platoons when they were required in battle.

Ergo Platoons are for everything BUT the era specific teams

Let's see I see clones and resistance and ewoks. None of which were around Hoth. Thank you for proving me non-contradictory! Thank you very much!

I don't know why you keep pointing out to me that they lied. Doesn't change what I said into a lie.

How do you require a non era character and keep the content somewhat authentic? By including them in scenarios where they don't do anything, like platoons.

I’m pretty confident now that y’all are arguing different points.

To be fair I believe they later amended the statement to mean only smaller factions after much complaining that they were doing what they had promised they wouldn't. I also think they said something about not enough characters besides rebels to make it work too so there's that.

Still kind of like changing the description to fix a bug.

IIRC, the issue with Hoth was one of the Hoth rebels, soldier or scout, was required for a mission and was also required in platoons. That meant someone in the guild had to choose between the mission or platoon. That was fixed.
I don’t think they ever intended not to exclude era specific toons from the platoons, just mission required ones.

Maybe try reading the combat mission requirements first. In Phase 2 the Executrix and Chimera are required capital ships. They fixed the bug (according to the patch notes) for the subsequent phases.

Are you **** me... really.

This is your **** answer. They "fixed it" so that people into Separatist content can reenact that memorable battle of Star Destroyers at Geonosis?

They forgot or **** up again, in making the SEPARATIST content they released along with these CLONE WARS game modes useable in those game modes and you're gonna come here on my thread and smugpost to me in their defense??

Really? No. Make it so I can use my Separatist content that I invested in in the Separatist game mode.

You can swear at me all you want, but that doesn't change the fact that the Chimera and Executrix are requirements in the current phase's missions. If you are unable to use the Malevolence in Phase 3, then it will be a problem and you can curse out CG for lying about fixing the bug

It is still a bad choice that a non-era ship is a requirement... Just delete the requirement or change it with the Malevolence.

You're complaining about non-era ships required? What about the fact that you need Darth Traya for platoons, cause I don't remember the sith Triumvirate fighting in the battle of Geonosis either, and all the other countless out of era heroes needed in platoons

Platoons were actually designed to be a way to use up the non era requirements so that's not a very good argument.

Source please.

logic. To deny the post, produce counter logic.

They claimed it was intended to use your entire roster. They gave bonuses to era specific teams and said they would never be required in platoons.

Ah ok no source then. Thank you.

So you have nothing to say then? Good.

I've always considered it lazy to ask for a source. Logic will keep you way further ahead in the long run.

@Woodroward is correct. Upon initial release, the devs did indeed state that Territory Battles would give players a means to use their ENTIRE inventory, something that the players began to request more and more as their developed rosters grew. If there are forumers that don't remember this, well then maybe they have just not been around long enough. Perhaps they could use the search feature to answer their questions,
Of course, Platoons and Deployment were not exactly what the players had in mind when asking for a way to use their entire roster ...

This has gone way beyond the statement I questioned however, as they clearly did not say the thing alleged.

I remember the statement about using our entire rosters. Not the same thing.

TLDR - It's not a bug, but it's still CG being stupid.

P2 ships have one battle with a provided Chimera (you can't use your own), and the other requires Executrix (to prevent you from using Chimera in both fights). Malevolence is excluded because of poor planning by CG, not a bug. They should change the 2nd fight to allow Malevolence.

P3/P4 ships allow any capital ship, but there was a bug preventing Malevolence from being used. CG claims this was fixed, we'll see tomorrow if it is.

I believe it was implied through the other things they said (that platoons were intended for a place to require non era toons) but I'm certain they never came outright and said it.

So there’s our answer. Intent versus specific statement. Alright people, you can enjoy your lives now.

This should be the real focus of the thread...

My Malevolence will stay 6* for a while and it bothers me that I can only use Empire capital ships for the Separatist content.

I know these are the requirements but they make zero sense. Just prevent use of Chimera and all should be good (or require use of players own Chimera in the one combat).

Except, that feature doesn't work very well. At all.

Fine, here you go ...

TERRITORY BATTLES

Star Wars™: Galaxy of Heroes launched worldwide in November 2015, and since then we’ve added incredible content and features including Guilds, Mods, and Ships. But we’re taking the game to an unprecedented level with the new feature: Territory Battles.

Strategize on the Battlefield

You can already collect your favorite characters and ships; now take them into epic scale combat for special bonuses and rewards!

The goal of Territory Battles is for you and your Guild to take over one of the most iconic battlefields in the Star Wars galaxy - the ice planet of Hoth. Conquer your way across the battle map, deploy squads and fleets, complete different mission types, and capture strategic targets that can change the tide of battle.

Battle with the Full Force of Your Entire Collection

Bring the strength of everything you’ve collected into the fight for iconic locations. Now, every unit you collect - and every upgrade - matters - that means it’s not only your few most combat-worthy squads that can make a difference. You can deploy your entire collection - including ships - to the front line, and then send them on missions which will test your units’ endurance and power.

• Territory Battles will launch on the Planet Hoth with an event called the Imperial Invasion. In this battle, Guilds must bring the strength of their entire collections to take over strategic landmarks and ward off the Imperial forces, with unique bonuses and mission opportunities for Rebel and Light Side forces.
  

It turns out that all of these statements were accurate assessments of the tasks we must complete in Territory Battles, but it is not at all what the players were envisioning.
