Progress?
In the recent Q&A, there were a lot of questions about different things being added, i.e. sandbox mode, single player raids, character reworks, Clone Wars S7 content, etc. and CG responded to all of them with an answer similar to: "Thats an interesting idea, but we have no plans to work on that".
In a previous Q&A, CG also said that they have plans that stretch out about a year, with ideas reaching 2-3 years? (I dont remember exactly). So, if CG doesnt have any plans for any of the stuff that was asked about, then what exactly do they have plans for? What is the next stage for this game?

While they're not saying what this new thing is that would be accessible to everyone, they have also said in someplace or other (can't remember where) that the new thing they're working on would allow you to use your entire roster.
What does that mean? We don't know, but since they don't announce specifics in Q&A, the next hint will likely come in a Road Ahead post, and then when the game mode is more-or-less ready, they'll make a separate, specific announcement for that.
There is of course much speculation - an advanced Galactic War, vehicle combat, and more have been mentioned - but you'll have to wait for 1st of the month type announcements to get more details. We can hope we'll get the next hint in just a couple days, but I'm thinking they won't do it that soon. They'll have some May4th temporary events (double drops and whatever) and they probably won't want to clutter the schedule too much.
So I expect the next bit of info to drop June 1, with a more specific announcement of the "Get ready, this is coming," type coming somewhere later in June or during July.
That's just a guess, of course, no one knows what's happening until CG announces it, but I don't think you'll get better guesses from anyone else.
I usually dont pay much attention to The Road Ahead, I might need to go back and read some of them. Thank you for your response, its nice to have a general timeline, even if it is just guesses
If it is not good, it may be the end until they do our stuff.
This feature really determine the future of this game.
in that case it was one of those answers that was followed by a meeting...... they should have done that the other way around, but we have all been there.
Actually, if they simply upped the GAC and TW frequency 5× the community would probably shut up. The 2 funnest game modes have this paltry spread over a month.
There is me Mandalorian content? I thought it was just characters.
There are various reasons for this, and I'm not saying I entirely disagree with the folks who say "no" (or entirely agree with the folks who say "yes"), but you should be aware that what is content to one person isn't necessarily content to another - including you.
So Kyo probably meant characters, but to Kyno that is new content. There isn't a conflict there unless you two are defining "content" differently ... which you do appear to be doing.
5x????
the two least funnest imo, especially considering the rewards vs time required
So basically, I see the point a lot of people are making, but I disagree and think they should've stuck to the raid they had planned because I believe it'll cater to more tastes than some people think. But I also think if this next content is a slam dunk (fingers crossed), then I won't mind a slight delay. My disappointment will only get really bad if they slowed or cancelled a good raid for trash content.
I also think that while this is a fair question, relating the long timeline they have said they have to the answers in the QA that were answered with "not at this time" doesn't really correlate. I wouldn't think that not at this time, is in reference to the 3-5 year plan they have mentioned, but more just on the immediate plan and what is actually in the works.
they have discussed the long term plan is very "fuzzy" and as things get discussed and approach things they clear up and add more details. example would be- if they had May 4th noted on the calendar last year, they may not have had ESB as a direct thing being focused on.
I like this way of describing it, and I'm sure you're right and they just don't look as far ahead. But from a PR standpoint it would be really nice if they just outright said something along those lines so your hardworking damage control isn't my main source or reassurance Kyno. They're the company, they plan these things, and also when they do have meetings like with Mando content post Q&A, they never bother to post an update or clarify something the community complains about. Their communication is abhorrent and that's why I get so disappointed when they say something as serious as "no plans at this time" so off the cuff with no elaboration.
For me - new characters are new "content" if you can actually do anything with them without paying a ridiculous amount of money to make them viable.
As it stands...they're just 3 star portraits I cant do anything with. So not meaningful content.
