Dark Trooper Gideon Consumable in Conquest Again?

BattleFries

So, yeah. One of the initial rewards in this new Conquest (on Hard Mode, at least), is Dark Trooper Moff Gideon to use as a preview of sorts. Is this correct, or is it supposed to be Darth Bane?

Gideon shards are still available in conquest so I'm guessing this is correct.

Taron shards are also available in conquest. Should it be him instead?

BattleFries

Sorry. I should have been more clear. During Gideon's conquest, there was a consumable that allowed you to add him to your squad to test him out. It is still Gideon this time, not Darth Bane. Hence my confusion.

Maybe they were afraid it would be bugged and they're out of the office this week

I havn't used it yet, but I think it's Moff because of the miniboss battle feat (beat with BeskarMoff surviving). There isn't a Bane feat yet in this conquest.

It took me a second to realize you meant Malicos.

That would probably be bugged.

I think that is a bug. I can't believe that they could give you a consumable that could be used directly to get 3 keycards in a Mini Boss battle. And then if you already have DTMG activated, can you use the consumable to have a more powerful one as a 6th toon?

Oh didn't realize we had a DTMG survive feat in the last set of Conquests.

There was a Scout Trooper survive in the last set, but not DTMG.

Kind of missed my (admittedly sarcastic) point. The actual reason we got the preview disk, was so we could see the new unit in action, not because of any feats or whatever other reason people can come up with. This is why people expected it to be a Bane disk this time, since he's the new shiny that no one has seen in action yet.

Hard to read sarcasm here.

In any case, it would be nice to see a statement from CG addressing the bug.

I wouldn't expect anything till after the New Year. Pretty sure they take off Christmas thru new years

I doubt they would just change anything this run of conquest and just make the change for the next time

I expect them to admit the error and change or remove the consumable next month.

Yep. "Oh darn, that's made it too easy. Remove it for the next conquest!"

It doesn’t give you the achievement. I don’t have DTMG, so I used the consumable, but didn’t get the key cards.

I figured. IIRC for the full team of rey and ben it didn't count the summoned ben solo using the card either.
I believe they have to be part of the team when you enter battle to count.

Thanks for the extra verification. I tried it with both the summoned and my low gear DTMG. My DTMG died, but the summoned survived and no key cards.

I saw that Tusken Meathead started a new thread yesterday. Has there been any word about this or any other Conquest bugs?

It's unclear if this one is a bug, and I'm not aware of any other Conquest bugs. But no, Meat has said nothing about any of it.
