Rebel Assault Postponement Reconsideration Request

Dear @CG_Carrie @CG_SBCrumb
I would like for you to reconsider your intent of canceling the Light Side Territory Battle for next week. I understand you are looking to reschedule this guild event to a future time, however with the current scheduling of Guild Events I do not see how you can fit this in. TB takes 6 days and as of right now the largest gap between guild events is only 4 days between the last Territory War of a set and the start of the next TB. As such, there will be rewards missed that people have worked hard to be given opportunity to battle for. A single missed TB could be over 10K Guild Event Tokens, 100 shards, along with the gear and other rewards. Or if you cancel one TW to fit this in that’s still rewards that are missed including zetas that everyone covets. Now you could compress the schedule, however guilds need those few days off between a TB/TW cycle to make roster moves and just relax for a few days.
I understand the reason for this postponement is due to the large update that will happen next week. I look forward to these update and appreciate the concern of coordination and too much going on. As stated above by compressing the schedule to fit it in, you are giving no days off to make roster moves and relax. With skipping other events we are still missing rewards. Also as the coordinator of TB for my guild, with the number of these that have been ran, TB require very minimal coordination as compared to when they first came out. I could also see scheduling both TB and TW on top of each other for a week, which seems like it could possibly be even worse with coordination since both TW and TB resets are about the same time. Personally I would take the one or two days of possible issues over an entire TB missed. Now I do not know the scope of all the new updates so this is all speculation on my side. A lot of effort has been put in to gearing, leveling and working on toons for these TB and missing these rewards really hurts and negates all the effort people have put in.
I hope you take this into consideration because many of us are not looking forward to the missed rewards. Now you could gift everyone a prize box to compensate for the missed rewards. However I would prefer the opportunity to get the GET!
Thanks for the consideration,
Odin Oakenshield

Any one/guild who is too busy with other things happening can choose not to participate, but please let each of us choose for ourselves.
They said it was due to the large update planned next week.
This is from the state of the galaxy post:
From @CG_Tophat: We will be updating the May Event Calendar to move the Rebel Assault instance which takes place from 5/21 to 5/26 to a new, undetermined date. Our upcoming client release (which includes Quests, Improved Chat, Updated Ship Combat, Titles, and more!) will be launching somewhere in that window of time. Given the size and scope of the update, we figured it was more prudent to reschedule the Rebel Assault and make sure that our update didn’t unintentionally collide with guild coordination. We apologize for the schedule change.
I didnt want to ask for a freebie, sounds bad. But just asking to keep the schedule as planned and let us as players choose on this one. Since it seems it will be hard to reschedule without running into the same issue at a later date.
What he said ^^^
Which part of "a new, undetermined date" means a 5 day delay?
This I could understand and would make more sense, but thats not what was said. They said for Guild coordination, which unless it is a new guild event would not make sense. Now if its due to ship combat just say that and this would be a mute point because I cannot argue against that.
I just know there are a lot of people in my guild excited to finally get a 7*HY or Wampa for raids that are disappointed that there is not going to be a TB next week. Or even just unlocking them
Oh I agree with you completely, that’s just my suspicion re fleet stuff due to the suspected changes. And the whole guild coordination sounds like a line of . . . And we aren’t even going to bring up the insanity of removing 50% of the remaining TB we are allowed a month without a real reason why.
They make efforts to make sure the update has minimal negative impact and people have an issue with that?
Here are the reasons:
1. Some are in guilds w/ steep requirements & those people rely on those rewards to meet said requirements so they don't get booted from their guild.
2. See 1.
3. See 2.
Any guild that would boot members for not meeting requirements due to CG changes is not worth being a part of IMOP......
See the above. Any guild like that is trash. CG changed something so the guild doesn't make wiggle room? Lol.
I’m not sure there are a lot of “tinfoil hatters” here. Some of us are just asking if there is an opportunity to not re-schedule (which more than likely means “cancel”) the event so that we don’t lose out on the rewards.
There wasn’t much information given as to “why” they have to be delayed.
If it’s because of a potential software issue with rolling out the new stuff with an active Tb, then I get it.
If it’s due to trying to prevent “overburdening” players then some of us woulda ant to have the option available to us.
This is definitely not our guild.
This again is what it boils down to. With the event structure and the reasoning they gave it feels more like it could just get canceled.
I don't see any issues in this postponement. On the contrary, it seems like good planning.
This would be a good idea
