At the end it says: "The last three vertical slices will pull from all available units in the game, with the caveat that any previously excluded units will continue to be excluded."
Does this mean darkside toons will be in those platoons? And what about toons that haven't been placed on nodes / in shops yet (aka unfarmable)? Does this include toons that haven't even made it to the chromium cycle of the release cadence?

Hours later.
“We are changing platoon structure “
Lol
A) FO Ships in ship platoons and Vets/Wicket in ground platoons
Or
No Unfarmables in any platoon
I really appreciate that the vets and wicket are not required in Platoons and that CG/EA made all the Ships Farmable. However there is a clear disparity between the ship Platoons and the ground platoons
This.

Honestly, I just laugh when they pull stuff like this now. It's becoming as predictable as a 2% dodge.

How can the intention of the developer that prides itself on, “listening to its playerbase,” completely ignore something that has time and time again been a concern.
All that has been done is cycled the millennium falcon/Kylo Ren ship debacle (which never changed, but was confirmed to not be the intention) to now this is just how it is for now and the foreseeable future.
If we could ACTUALLY take some of the feedback from it’s playerbase, I know you would have many happy players...
For the TLDR fans.... feels Like the beginning of the statement should of read, “working (you over) as intended...”.
GG
Riiiiiiight. Because it obviously works that way.
Sidebar: I have no issues with a game mode that allows the spenders to flex. What my issue is is the fact that the goalposts got moved yet again. 45* isn't even attainable now for a lot of guilds. Heck, even 40+ is now out of reach.
You aren't the only one.
The intention is for us to have a more deliberate experience with platoons. You want us to intentionally fill platoons? Or are we to do it consciously? I intentionally fill platoons already. With intent even. I honestly don't understand what you mean by this.
So the first three phases/vertical strips will always be the same toons/ships from TB to TB (understanding the exclusions per phase of required toons)? M'kay, fine. But we all know it's phases 4-6 that are the issue. I'm starting to understand why this last Marquee event gave 1 fewer star.
And 4-6 will pull from ALL available units? Is this meant to suggest DS toons will now be in LS TB platoons going forward? Or is that just inexact language and should have read "all available LS units"?
Just... you know, in the future... might want to lead with this stuff. It's bad optics when these announcements come after we've pointed something out to you. And stop using that person who wrote the Battlefront statement. The curated statements have static compositions that persist from forum to forum.
Until it's 6* Talzin on 5 or 5* NS Zombie on wave 4...
C'mon man. You've been here awhile. You know where this is going. Hint: not easier.

Guys, if I had to insert the same 7 Wedges into Platoons every week it would get boring. I need new and fresh toons to plug in, specifically new toons I dont need/want to farm. Keeping platoons spicey is very important lets not forget that. The strategy of Platoons is riveting. I am deeply stimulated by them. So if they got stale I dont think I would handle it well.
Cha ching.
Is it even worth investing In platoon characters as f2p at this point?
Nope.
You answered your own question. What's the point? That you keep spending money to chase the constantly moving goal posts. At least they're making it more obvious now.

+2 If you're f2p and worried that your competitve guild will drop you if you dont have tie silencer just ride it out and let them drop you. Theres 100 other guilds that would scoop you up in a second. Its intentionally getting harder for f2p to compete w p2p, just let that happen as well.
I know some of you have spent $$ thinking it would hold its value and feel stuck between a rock and a hard place. Should I spend more to reinforce my investment? No. Unless you have alot of disposable income, you will never be able to stop spending and stay top 10 in arena. Im sure there are the 1% of f2p that have kept up, good job, keep it going.
Just relax. You dont have remain top 10, 20, 50 or even 100 to enjoy the game. Try it! Join a more relaxed guild. Alleviate some stress. Its not worth it.
I honestly just wanted a clarification. And this is the first time that toons that were not part of the game when TB launched have been included in platoons. I just want to know if a) we can expect new toons to show up in platoons in the future, b) if so, at what part of their cadence should we expect them, and c) are dark side toons including in the quote in my OP?
