....Also, were the normal troops just busy having afternoon tea or something? Letting a hero cap the objective when said hero is much better served holding back an onslaught of enemy cannon fodder? Eww....

The lag between showing an objective as completed is to blame for this, and it’s ridiculous, but it’s never been this blatant for me before. I’d say your chances here were small with this happening, but you somehow got it.
On another happier point for us all regarding Theed, you now only need to capture one room to get to the end, so that’ll be much nicer and more forgiving - and hopefully you’ll never end up in a position like that again.
If is any consolation, at 50 tickets you wouldn't have taken Phase 3 without a decent Palps, anyway....
Given you had to stand around doing override with a hero, I doubt you had a single decent teammate at all.
Seriously, Mexican Standoff Syndrome is getting worse and worse in this game. I'm finding fewer players going for the objective than ever, just standing back (in the case of this example, usually at the palace doorways) just shooting at any enemies who appear without making any push forward. 90% of the time on this phase of Theed, I put my assault droid on Vanguard and run in to set the door override going, almost never finding anyone guarding it at all. My wife is sick of me yelling at the TV because no teammates are helping me. It's the same with the Junkyard on Mos Eisley when I'm a rebel - it stays contested until I die, then as soon as I die, I see it being captured as I try to run back the 4 miles between the spawn point and the area I have to defend (and of course, it takes less time to capture it than it does to run that distance - a pathetic game feature that prevents objective-minded players from having any chance after they have been killed once.)

I was a decent teammate sad face. We was bout to make a comeback we pushed super hard & started that phase with 60 tickets I believe
They weren't trying & when they did we got slammed with explosives
They weren't the best teammates in the world but the main reason they weren't on it was because the other team was just spamming thermal imploders.
Yeah but they have the wonderful idea that restricting content is a good way to celebrate, it was a long night, we were thrown into empty servers and had much worse teammates than this. @Thechosen1_anakin and Han Spinel were with me, our teammates weren't the worse but they were getting Wookiee cheesed to death. Same thing happened next map which was Kashyyyk we ended up just exchanging wookiee cheese wins till we went to play HvV.
We should play together sometime. I happen to know the perfect solution to Thermal Imploders. Sometimes, it seems like I'm the only person using it as well. AND there's even Recharges for your Iden to boot!

I'm Empire_TW on Playstation, add me and we can play.
That is because of the squad spawn. Players are spawning closer and it ends up favoring the defenders.
The main exception is it makes it easier to defend the walkers.

Theed is a bad map, WW thermal cheese, squad system, and Yoda or Finn buffing just makes it worse.
Hahaha. All the more reason to skip it. I always do.
They should give Wookies the original deathtrooper 2 ft throw range.
They really shouldn't have thermal imploders at all, i mean they get Atomic hand grenades while the death trooper gets a glorified flashbang, flame trooper gets a firecracker, and the B2 gets a bottle rocket on his arm.
It is the very opposite of balance, it's like if the Empire's blasters did more damage than the rebels.
Kresus you are a good player, I was playing in your squad on Kashyyk a few days ago and you know your tactics.

I feel like some of the devs had a wookie fetish, that imploder is similar to Han's Air Burst charge, way too powerful comparatively.
Now add a Big Deal from Finn, and a Recharge Officer dedicated to keeping the group of Enforcers, and Finn recharged for constant barrages of mini nukes. Frightening stuff.

I hate Theed so I wasn't expecting anything good to come from this round anyway.
It has to be, WW have been negatively effecting this game for it's entirety and little ever gets done about it.

Is that the defuser card? If so, does it work on Thermal Imploders? I have it equipped to my officer too but I must be timing it badly.
It does. However, if the imploder hits the ground and you hear the explosion wind-up, it's usually too late. The imploder also has a larger base explosion radius than your Defuser at Purple (For some dumb reason) so you'd have to run toward it to actually defuse it, if you'd make it in time.
The only thing the Defuser DOESN'T work on atm seems to be Barrage from Heavies. While you will get the points from it, you won't make the bombs not kill anyone.
(And if the opposition has a Bossk, you'll make him suicidal

Thermal Imploders should just be removed,
After the matches we had, I am most certainly tempted to agree. Give wookies some.. Exploding woodstickshrapnel or whatever they cook up on Kashyyk.

This one works here I think.

That Specialist rework was disappointing.
Theed is a terrible map.
Choke points galore
I think it'd be fine as a lone hero's ability instead of 5 units spamming dozens of them down the same chokepoint.
Give the thing to Chewie instead of shock grenade, so he's less bad in GA and less faceroll EZ mode in HvV.
WW can get an AOE charge shot ability for his bow that gives him some range (like B2 rocket but ideally less bad)
Total removal of the WW would be even more ideal.
This would require a Christmas miracle. Dennis heart would need to grow 2x its normal size
2x0=0 though.

It's a bad map, it being impossible to win against a competent defending team is only one of many issues with it.
Maybe it will happen, about 2 months away.
That's practically cheating imo, very scary agreed.
The game just glitched, the game was in overtime and the phase ended and the game must have thought we lost or something.
