TB Zombie/Scout Endless Loop

dl8xk8sphnce.png
Zombie dies, Scouts gain 100% TM.

Plague is placed only on Commander who doesn't gain TM.

Rinse, repeat.

Endless loop placed on auto for the last hour! :D

Can't quit, I will lose encounters 1-3. Can't win, but can't lose.

My only hope is Zombie 1) survives being 1-shot and 2) dodges 2 consecutive attacks from the other two scouts.

Pray for me.

    If you leave you still get 1-3
  • And that is why protection recovery in TB is a bad idea and has to be mitigated

    Did you count each time? :p
  • My kid did, laughing whole time. I did not get battle points.

    Yep, happened to me a few TB back and you do get credit for completed waves. I believe that was an early fix.

    Loop won't get fixed however, since it's basically WAI.

    How so? If you are down to just zombie and acolyte you probably were in trouble anyway.

    It did not give me mission points, only deployment points. Our guild is always so close on points, that really hurts us all. These are my mission, platoon and mass deploy. (and yes, I got stomped on the Empire only mission.) All it has for me.kovcyuymocml.png

    Like I posted in the other thread, gearing and levelling Zombie and your other NS so they can take more hits means that this is not a problem in higher phases, despite what the misguided moderator would have you believe. It’s a lock for 4/4 even in P6. Weak Zombie puts you at risk.

    Otherwise, try using Talia in favour of NA.

    Why tf are you calling him a misguided mod? Most people don't have a high geared zombie so he was talking in general that zombie isn't good in higher phases.

    Or maybe you are just salty that you are one of the very few who have her geared high and can't score high enough in sith raid. :P JK, don't take it seriously.

    Ps.:- Solid toons right there.

    He's misguided because he made a blanket statement and laboured the point in two threads now - incorrectly - that Zombie isn't suitable for DS TB. It's plainly untrue from my experience and I look forward to getting 4/4 using Zombie in a NS squad in P6 tomorrow.

    And as you raise it, I do quite well in P4 of the Sith Raid, thank you very much. ;)

    Because you can try a handful of different toons that will not land you in a) an infinite loop, and b) down to 2 toons left.

    I have a low ish gear zombie, I dont land in this scenario and I 4/4 even in p6. If that's misguided, I guess I'm doing it wrong.
  • You cant leave . It's a endless loop of them attacking.

    Sadly I didn't see this thread and this happened to me today on wave 4. I got 0 points except the deploy.

    Zombie is still okay to use, just dont use acolyte.

    While the combat mechanic is arguably WAI, what sucks and has always done so is the lack of ability to pause and retreat/forfeit on enemy turns.
    This was bad enough early on in GW but has reached peak annoyance in cases like these. It's bad enough that he can't work his way out of this trap, but it's a tad cruel to deprive him of the chance to at least cash in on the progress done in the 3 stages before...

    You can try other things in TB but you only get one try. For some people, zombie is their best chance to finish the waves despite the possibility of hitting the loop.

    That's not true. Happened to someone in my guild on wave 4, had to close the app as the two elite scouts would just tag team back and forth on zombie. (This needs at least 2 enemy scouts to happen as they each get 50% TM when an enemy dies (100% TM for empire enemies)). Opened back up and he didn't get any credit for the first 3 waves he'd completed.

    As for the weak zombie complaint, that's not the problem here. Acolyte is the problem, use a different NS in her place and continue to use your weak zombie.

    This was a problem at TB launch. They fixed it. I had this happen to me a few TB back and I got credit for three completed waves when I opened the game back up. Either it broke again, or your guildmate is wrong.

    Probably broke again, either that or he had a poor connection when going through the first few waves and it didn't go through. Didn't make a huge difference for us we can't quite 3* the middle territory in DS P5 yet anyway. Still on track for 46*. I can double check, but I'm pretty sure it didn't go through. Maybe he did something weird when closing the game.

    Only if you retreat.

    If you have to force quit in a true infinite loop, then you lose everything.

    Untrue prior to update. It may be true now, not confirmed.

  • You cant quit. You have to force close. And no I didnt get credit for first 3 waves..
  • ok the same thing happened to me today too, the only thing i could do was force quit and restart, i got no points for the battle other than what i deployed.

    I contacted EA and they said this was expected game play and i need to chose a different team.

    So they fix an infinite loop for ST Han and Acolyte in Heroic Sith raid that benefits players but won't fix an infinite loop that hinders players, that makes no sense. All i want is the points i should have earned for that battle.
  • Yup, i ran into it for the first time today. Really annoying watching my lone plague chilling on a soldier while the scouts took infinite turns. Be nice if they fixed this infinite loop too, i shouldn't have to force close my game and lose ALL my points for that mission. At least do a cop out and enable the retreat option after 60seconds of only enemy actions so we can salvage some points.
  • You fix it by gearing up your zombie

    If you leave you get 0 as you cannot leave you have to force quit the app. This is an infinite loop that the devs need to fix!!!!! If they can break toons for a loop no one used they can fix this. They need to fix this as it kills TB. This can happen to geared zombies as well.

    By this same thinking, acolyte should not have needed a nerf as there are other teams the players can use in Sith raid. Cant use a double standard to avoid fixing loop mechanics.
