Mission required character showing up in platoons - Hoth Rebel Soldier

Whatelse73

Just looked at our platoons and noticed that Hoth Rebel Soldier showed up in platoons for today's Phase 2.

Didn't you guys fix that so it wouldn't happen again?

They fixed it long ago, but changed platoons. Now they don't randomly generate based on a set of rules, they were manually assigned as static. Whoever set the platoons forgot that rule.

They gave us a spreadsheet for the required characters. Shame on us for not cross-referencing required chars with platoons.
The QA department (aka, the players) fail to detect a bug yet again!

I understand it's in the sheet, but hopefully it was an oversight.

Is it really the intent?

Carrie had promised that they wouldn't use characters in platoons that were required for combat or special missions in that phase.

I'd expect that if it were an intentional change, that would have been communicated. Seems like an oversight.

No. It's been flagged as a bug now. Which is amusing, as I reported it as a bug weeks ago.

They responded on Reddit. That is why I am not coming here anymore

This isn't the right place to report a bug anyway - that's AnswersHQ.

That's where I reported it. I reported that Probe Droid was needed in DSTB Phase 6 and that HRS was needed in LSTB Phase 2.

Clearly whomever is triaging their bug reports didn't think it was worth fixing before the LSTB launched.

It’s been brought to our attention that Hoth Rebel Soldier is in Phase 2 Platoons. This is unintentional and will be changed in future runs of the Rebel Assault Territory Battle. Unfortunately, we cannot change it for the currently active Territory Battle. We apologize for the inconvenience.
