Territory Battle Functionality/Theorycrafting [merged]

(Did this on reddit last week - bored at work so thought I'd throw it out to the community)

Taking a stab at how Territory Battles might work. Curious what other ideas are out there. I know, know its all pointless guess work... but then why are you reading this thread then? Link to TB Screenshot

Timing/Phases
  • Given we know that guild could theoretically get up to 50 leia shards from one battle sequence, I'm guessing that these are not going to be close to daily. Screen shot looks like 6 phases - so probably a week for each battle holo table, with daily progressing from each phase to the next. With one day off?
  • Very curious if these will come on set schedule (unlikely) or if it will be like raids where we have to build up currency and launch an appropriate 'level' territory battle that is more/less challenging
  • Guessing each column of map segments is a phase, and the timing of the battle will advance to each phase regardless of how much 'progress' you've made. (ie the screen shows what would be phase two only got 2* for each map segment)

Units
  • Not much to go on other than each person looks to be limited to 150 total #hedidthemath
  • Curious if the phases will be divided into types of units (phase 1,3,4,6 use characters and phase 2,5 use ships) or if each phase you have to decide to spend your attack with ships or toons. Hoping the later. {one reply from reddit suggested the map shows Tie Fighters in the corner - maybe ships only in that phase}
  • Likely that it will function like GW - start of the battle gets full roster and they go as far as they can with protection/health available. If so that will make regenerating teams/leaders even more valuable. Could be sort of 'tourney style' entrance fee for characters to participate - free first entry, and pay some currency to use them again.

Rewards
  • Difficulty, number of stars earned each phase, number of 'special missions' completed all likely factor into guild score and rewards. We know shards will be evenly distributed, but the new store currency will not. Gotta have some incentive to do max missions each segment.
  • Strange radio silence about ship upgrades, but I gotta think that the vacant upgrade slot and the possibility to upgrade capital ships to 7* is tied in
  • Really hoping Zeta mats will also be available in the new store. I love the idea that we have to choose between hermit yoda shards and g12 items.
  • Star awards for each map segment - is this going to be based on number of successful completions from the guild (ie need 40 successes for 3star) or just how many star ranking points were accumulated? (ie guild needs 100 total stars to collect a 3star rating for the territory, so combine the various star ratings achieved from each participant)

  • Saw it in a @Mcmole stream so props to him

    We have the hoth territory battle coming with Hoth Leia being the end prize and hoth Han being involved somehow as well, so what about a geonosis territory battle for the next one? Preferably wth Jango Fett as the end prize?

    I'd prefer to see how the Hoth territory battles work before trying to figure out where we go next.
  • No, Jango doesn't work he's not a rebel
  • I'd like:
    Geonosis
    Endor
    Scariff

    I think the TB idea is fun, even though we haven't seen it. And it could easily be expanded upon.
  • How do we know territories wont stay hoth the whole time? Plus jango can be a geonosis raid reward or something rather the territories

    Next one, when? raid start in 2016, this year we will have TB. My best guess, the new mode after TB will out around end of 2018 :flushed:

    Same reason raids didn't stay Rancor whole time =P

    Anyway, I practically guaranteethere'll be a Naboo battle. They can add Naboo ships, Panaka, but most importantly Padme.

    I would guarantee Endor or Geonosis before even thinking about naboo....

    Add Kashyyyk to that list. We need more Wookies.

    Well with Hoth we're getting 3 different new toons so you could potentially have 2 jedi and jango.
  • No, Jango doesn't work he's not a rebel
    Lol. He's right, every new character has to be a rebel

    I think it's implied more TBs will come, and there's a possible looming Separatist pass.

    But honestly, before a second TB, they need ls/ds ship battles and ship hardware. Ships have been out 9 months and it's still just arena.

    True, I agree I just forgot completely about the hardware since it's been "coming soon" for so long

    It's from the Clone Wars tv series. It was a 4 episode battle, it was quite a good one. In fact depending on how many TB they want to do a lot of good battles in that series.

    Pong Krell was... super strong. 4 arms and the thickest blades for a saber I've ever seen. Good foresight and powerful force abilities. He was like a Griveous for Jedi, but with the force. Definitely add Teardrop, Waxer, and I forgot the one with the V tattoo on his face but get him in too. Maybe umbareen soldier with his ship. NicWester the ship that 5s has is an Umbareen ship from the local soldiers stolen from their base.

    That would be DOPE!!!!

    Let's play out Zahn's Thrawn trilogy. I know it isn't canon anymore but neither are these fights between geonosian and wookies, or the battle 5 minutes ago where Han and Kylo teamed up to kill Leia.

    Joruus Cboath could be the prize on the dark side....a mentally unstable clone sith lord. Honestly he is perfect because the AI would at least make sense for his character.

    Why do people want Jango that bad? He did next to nothing besides dying to Mace and giving his DNA.
