Rebel Assault Battles Rescheduling Update [MEGA]

Hi Holotable Heroes,

We mentioned earlier this week that we are rescheduling the upcoming instance of Rebel Assault on 5/21 - 5/26 to another time. We have a big update coming somewhere between those two dates and we decided it was better to reschedule the Rebel Assault in order to make sure that our update didn’t unintentionally collide with guild coordination. We apologize for the schedule change, but we will be compensating all players next Friday (5/25) with the same rewards guilds earned during their last Territory Battle.

We’d like to take this opportunity to also say that we have heard your feedback about the frequency of Territory Battles and Territory Wars and are revisiting how we schedule them. Our goal is to ease the demanding nature of these mode’s schedules, however we acknowledge rewards will need to be comparable over time and we need to figure that out. We do not know what this revised schedule looks like yet, but will publish it sometime shortly after the client update this next week. Until we settle on a new schedule, the existing schedule will remain as is (aside from specific reschedule above).

Thank you for your patience and stay tuned for more information on the changing schedule after the next client update.

Will this include special mission currency from the previous TB?

Also, last light side TB, or last TB overall (which was a dark side?)

Oh, and, for those that have moved guilds in the past week, will they receive the rewards of their new guild, or the one they were in for the last territory battle?

Ye what about Leia/IPD shards?

I see nothing wrong with the one LSTB and DSTB a month but the back to back TW is the problem

DeltaMike · May 19, 2018 1:02AM

Why is the frequency of these events being messed with? Territory Battles and Territory Wars are by far the most fun and rewarding aspects of this game as they provide such a great opportunity for teamwork and collaboration. Not everyone finds it fun to have most of their effort focused on raids and fighting whales for placement in the arena

I don't know if i'm alone here, but i would rather more TB than keeping the current schedule and increasing per TB rewards. TB is my favorite part of this game, and in my opinion is much more fun than other modes. I wish there were even more battles per phase!

valeo25 · May 19, 2018 1:07AM

@CG_SBCrumb Seconded on the question about someone who's changed guilds. I left my old guild after the last TB and am already in a new one. I'm fine either way (receiving according to old guild or new guild), but just want to make sure players in my situation don't slip through the cracks.

Thanks very much, I think this is a pretty great compromise overall given you have a big update coming and the schedule is already packed.

I would also like to know the answer to the last Q ....

Randocalrissian · May 19, 2018 1:08AM

I’d rather have more TBs than TWs any day. At least you don’t have to rely on CGs mystery algorithms to match you up with a guild 20mil more gp than you every TW with 2 full walls of jtr arena squads

jedibaer71 · May 19, 2018 1:09AM

ok it is

Eustacie · May 19, 2018 1:15AM

I really hope you'll reconsider lightening the schedule. Here's a fun fact: if you don't want to play so many events, don't play them. There are guilds out there where you can hang out, chat, and not have much in the way of expectations.

For those of us who enjoy TW and TBs and find the three days off we already have too boring, catering to people who don't want to play as much feels punishing.

Oh, and also: Day 1 and 2 of TW is a break already. C'mon, you sign up one day and place a few defensive teams that takes 3 minutes on the next. 1 day of gameplay. Day 1 and 2 of TBs are already faceroll, so you're talking 3 or 4 days gameplay there.

There's plenty of time off already. Don't add more.

hesjingixen · May 19, 2018 1:17AM

Yeah, I'm concerned about guild moves. We're currently in the middle of a merger, so we're all going to be in a guild that didn't exist last week.

Ravens1113 · May 19, 2018 1:20AM

@CG_SBCrumb
Well this is actually a nice surprise. Only thing I’m wondering is if the compensation is based on the last LSTB or the most recent DSTB we just finished.
I will add this though, the current schedule for TB isn’t bad at all. My guild and I enjoy the TB schedule and even the TW schedule. I think your focus should first be to take the feedback from the STR thread and work on that first. That’s more important in my mind since it’s been such a problem for awhile. Thanks again for the communication and update though and welcome!

drpatrickbateman · May 19, 2018 1:22AM

I really don't like that its getting canceled entirely... Can't an update be planned around existing events? Also, my guild under performed from usual last rebel assault, so is this going to be rewards from Imperial invasion, or rebel assault? Because that will leave us with significantly less rewards than we will get if we play through it from start to finish this time... If you are certain that this is going to be a tough timeframe for updates, why not use this as an opportunity to beta test the original plan you guys had to run them in 12 hour phases instead of 24? Then you have more downtime for the update and we still get the chance to improve on our last score.

JacenRoe · May 19, 2018 1:25AM

All disagreements about frequency preferences aside, it is very nice that we're getting something on our week off. The devs didn't have to give us anything during that time.

Obi1_son · May 19, 2018 1:25AM

While I appreciate the rewards without any effort... I am sure I'm not alone in wondering about all of the special mission payouts as well as any guild changes that have been made.

Obi1_son · May 19, 2018 1:26AM

Easiest solution would be to grant all players the same exact reward globally

Vettes4Fetts2 · May 19, 2018 1:28AM

I'm fine with this. Thanks.

That would definitely not work. Why should a guild that can only get 25* get the same rewards as one that can hit 43*?

Advanced notice and a repeat prize with no effort + an update/new content. Thank you kindly.

Hi folks,
A bunch of good questions here. I'll ping the team to get more details over the weekend but here are the answers I have so far:

1. The previous Territory Battle was Dark Side and the next one that was rescheduled was supposed to be Light Side. Will we receive rewards from the last Light Side or Dark Side Territory Battle?
The previous Dark Side Territory Battle

2. Does this include special mission rewards like shards and guild event currency?
Yes

NicWester · May 19, 2018 1:42AM

I'm not going to turn my nose up at free stuff, but I really wish you hadn't done this. It's only going to embolden the complainers.

See what I mean? Give an inch and they want a yard.

Let people complain though. Given the abrupt notice of the change, this is honestly the best solution. It includes what every guild just earned which is totally fair. Anyone complaining has absolutely zero ground to stand on. They’re getting exactly what they would have earned from a 6 day Tb campaign, for no effort at all.

Troll away.

Nothing about my post was a complaint.. in fact I thanked them in the post above the one you quoted. I merely gave a suggestion to stop complaints. I did not even suggest max. Just equal... either way I am good with free.

The abrupt notice of only 7 days in advance?

Thanks for the quick answers!

Would be a huge weight off our shoulders to get info on folks that move guilds as well, but understandably you probably need to get that info from somebody else.

Dabro112 · May 19, 2018 2:36AM

Straight forward answers...no memes. This is in of itself a reward.

I'd like to see more territory wars because it is funniest mode in game
