Please, please make all TWs vanilla i.e. no absurd bonuses or bans
Those just break the gamemode. All strategy is gone.
Old bonuses where nice, i.e. nearly useless (FO, resistance) or useful while not breaking the game (BH). Those were cool also because they where there for a long time so you could plan on them. I'm all in for these type of bonuses as long as they are not absurdly broken.
When a random character breaks everything the game mode is just not fun anymore because the strategy is gone. And then the next month another random character will break the gamemode. No planning, no strategy, no fun.
In our guild we are very close to deciding not to play the bonused Tws because of this.
PS and edit: I LOVE GA, it is the greatest game mode in the game. The more the Tws get away from GA the less interesting it is for me. As my personal view we should have more GAs.
It is nice to get the change in TW but Vanilla should be the dominant version. One altered TW a month sounds right to me.
One of the things I would hope the changes are being used for is planning future reworks of toons and factions that are not currently viable without a boost. What better test environment can there be?
P.S. that would mean bans don't work
Just skimming a couple of pages here there are some interesting ideas and I hope many get a try. In saying this communication is important to make these work. Minimum of 2 weeks notice of the altered rules with 1 month being ideal to my mind.
I digged the banned the characters, despite seemingly popular opinion, and think it forced guilds to use more strategy.
I also digged the buffs to toons, although they are pretty radical and overpower other teams that have been hard-earned.
I would like the three of these in rotation: banned, buffed, and Vanilla. If you could, come up with some other method of changing TW and make 4 TWs happen a month, each one different in style. I think the variation is a lot of fun!

In response to myself, you could make 3v3 the fourth mode of TW. Then in a single month, we could see: banned, buffed, 3v3, and Vanilla. I think that'd be a lot of fun and liven up the game mode a lot!
CG. Old school players are quitting game in droves. Bastila **** and twars **** the only reason.
U refuse to fix bastila, and insist on forcing us into 'colorful' twars.
U obviously dont play game without gold gear meta anything.
Unfortunately i cant spend $169 per week on ur latest game blackmail chr.
Fix bastila first fix twars second.
Or an entire aussie guild will delete game.
I suspect we will be the first entire guild of 50 to delete game.
If u offered 30 shards for $1.99, u would make a huge profit. At $169 for poss 10 shards, u get nothing but grief.
I cannot wish u a more speedy bankruptcy.
Thanks for wasting 2 years of my ltd life..
Anyone interested in a legal class action for the chrs u paid for, but cant use, contact terra australis guild.

I think at list 50% of all TW must be vanilla. The idea of ban is awful. This lowers the level of fairness of the selection. I like the idea of bonuses, but they don't have to be that strong, you have to stop at reasonable bonuses. Like it was on first TW’s
Actually this was a good lesson. I learned beyond a shadow of a doubt, those controlling the game do not care what I or we as players think. They will do as they please and ignore us, when it comes to decisions. There is no speculation, there is no "I wonder if". It's been shown, and it's there for all to see.
How about just straight up no bonus all the time..or if you want bonus every group should have some type of bonus at the same time not just one or 2 factions
I like no changes to TW. Having said that, letting the community vote on specific characters to be excluded was ridiculous. If we are going to have theme TWs, let's do it via either random inclusion, or things like "girls only" or "Only characters whose name begins with 'B'". Letting people choose characters they don't like to fight was punitive and a sure way to **** people off.
I like the idea of single char bonuses, for example mace or something new (guard ability for the imperial guard as a test).
Single fraction at max but please don't buff several fractions.
It would be also nice to have to give us a forecast or a possibility to get in touch with that (videos or something like that).
The game changer accounts with full gear and insane mods are also not very helpfull.

The same
Can still happen to be Vanilla, no banned toons, and maybe bonuses.
And NO WAY to know in advance!

I really disliked the character ban TW and hope it never returns.
I like the normal, so called "Vanilla", TW
I also like the TW with some character/faction bonuses.
My preference would be to have 3 normal TW's per month and 1 character/faction bonus TW per month.
