BH rework interview, Radio Free Tatooine

Curtismathew

Not sure how many have heard this yet. It’s long, we need notes - way too much information to get heads around, but all positive stuff.

Yeah absolute joke an hour and a half

This is even worse than the GC youtube videos..... so CG just not caring at all about the hard of hearing / deaf at all now...

A Charakter reveal on a Podcast where you can't even reread the abilities yourself is the most stupid thing they have done so far with those interviews

it's called pen and paper. write it down if you want to reread it right away. it will be coming out in text form with the release, so if you want to wait til then, then just be a little patient. there is nothing preventing you from hitting pause on a podcast and rewinding in case you missed something. I for one loved hearing the dev's excitement as they detail what the changes are! great job CG!

Yeah out of all the places to reveal a toon this is about the dumbest way they could have chose

These reworks have breathed new life into a faction and I can't wait to use them and come up with new squads! Really top notch squad and I just wanted to say thanks to all the hard working people at CG for the excellent work they did in bringing this update to us. As a bounty hunter fan, this made my day!

What a horrible idea to reveal character kits/reworks like this. Where are the updated Character Strategy posts like we usually get?

Yeesh, if you need a community manager this badly, maybe it's time to drop the requirement for a bachelor's degree and/or commuting out there.

I think you underestimate their power. The next one will be released in a 2 hour interview....in Klingon and done on live radio.

"Improved communication" is starting to sound a lot like "August" and "soon".

Ty Brando.
Well at least I know why no one has commented about communication through YouTube’s- because they have so much more to share through more videos and podcasts.

i blame ea_jesse, he's the one who was a guest on this podcast first !

I just happen to listen to this podcast every week so I'd rather this than a video.

With that said, this is still a terrible way to go. Forum posts as well, please.

Agree the videos/podcast followed by a write-up is way to go. They should not be resistant to that format. I also listen to this podcast - it's solid and normally moves at a good pace. When I commute in and lose cell service it's a solid listen. Contract abilities sound great but maybe hard to keep track of - feel like for longer fights they may just happen and will be hard to manage with all the taunts, changes to TM, etc.

PremierVenoth

Never... I will never listen to anything that long for something like this. the 35 minute GC are already way to much.
I think I'mma just go away now and wait for CG to do something right, maybe I'll re-engage after that....

There are also people who do not understand English very well.
Especially if you are not used to listening in English everyday.

A native English speaker listens to him in an hour, for the others it is very difficult to put so "little" time.
In addition to deaf people who can not have official information from the developers.

I think these are good reasons to release a written format in concomitance with audio and video's traces.

The mechanics and skills they improved or implemented sound great and fun. But somehow it doesn't feel like "balancing" but riding the power spiral. It sounds not like a little tweaking but like loading a ton of new gizmos and powers on each toon. Very fitting and fluffy stuff, but still the goal seems to be to make them a bit better than the current meta...
witch makes sense to earn money ofc. but will eventually result in a game where people completely lose the overview over all the skills and powers.

What a terrible way to release information. Cheers RJ_Brando for posting that though.

Also, Boba - "defeat the first enemy that takes a turn", setting him up right there to get Han, it's just like the films. Woo.

NicWester

You've been saying the same thing for a week now. We get it. You don't like watching videos and don't like listening to podcasts.

Hey, guess what? They're going to make a post. This stuff isn't coming out tomorrow, you can read about it when the post is made. Before all of this they would post something a week before it comes out. Now they're going to post something a week before it comes out and engage community youtubers and podcasters two weeks before it comes out. You still get your post.

Now quit your kvetching about stuff that doesn't matter.

"We don't like that they don't engage the community and communicate with us!"

"We still don't like it!"

What do you want them to do, show up at your doorstep with a royal decree and a town crier?

Would be nice. Hopefully in the morning when I’m free.

Except that the methods they are now using to share "information" is:

1) Not easily accessible to all players (especially non-English speakers)

2) A terrible inefficient use of time (a 20 minute video - or the most recent 90 minute one for a few sentences of actual information)

3) Almost impossible to reference or disseminate to others (other than "click here to watch a 20 minute video).

But yeah, other than that, your complete straw man and utter misrepresentation of the complaints is dead on.

I don't think I've ever seen you write something that doesn't amount to "I hate this game." Why are you even playing anymore? It's just a constant spewing of toxicity and negativism for the past year.

catharsis478

That awkward feel when this thread becomes a war between the Nic/ks.

And I gotta say I agree, you are prone to strawman Nic; "Ayn Rand fanfiction" is still one of my favorite comments from you.

McClapYoHandz123

@RJ__Brando thanks for writing it out! That helped a lot.(I too wish they had transcripts)

Was any info released about how Bossk is coming to the game? Like is he marquee? Or was that not said?(I didn’t watch it, it’s too long

BaseDeltaZero

The introduction of "infinity garillion" damage is the most daunting aspect of the podcast.

valeo25

To be fair (and I'm biased because I'm a weekly listener of the podcast), the vast majority of that 90 minute run time was directly related to the BH rework and Bossk. They went through behind the scenes info of their design, breakdown of every changed and new ability, etc. It's a LOT of content, not just a couple throwaway sentences.
