    Best gif of the thread !!!

    A guy named shnooks made it. I hear if we keep on posting gifs, the spirit of community directors past will envelop the forums and CG may give us info
  • Whilst I am eagerly waiting for the Road Ahead (like many others); what I actually want is out Community Manager to be online, and do some Community Management.

  • I expect this to get removed pretty quickly, but still wanted to share my thoughts:

    As October was coming to a close, I think many of us had ideas (some more educated than others) about what was going to be coming to the game in November. However, I think it is now fairly evident that CG's timeline got severely screwed up.

    Some supporting evidence would be:

    Road Ahead post was due out in October

    Server connectivity issues prior to the heavily forewarned Server Maintenance 30Oct18 (which required a server down time prior to 30Oct18), and then continued server connectivity issues

    Game Changers lost their test server access (due to leaks? possibly, but more likely because CG knew what was on, or what was to be on, the test servers was nowhere near ready for even the Game Changers to play with)

    The terrible rush job of getting the TW character bonuses information out to us, in which they said "there will be two other characters who get bonuses so stay tuned" but the QA/QC check on that didn't think to check that we could already see TW event in Guild cantina.

    The timing of the rollout messages (and lack thereof) regarding the TW changes and JKA ship was terribly off

    This absolutely ridiculous Clone Wars Era lottery pack in the mod battles

    There is more, but let's get to the call to action part

    These bumps/delays happen, I have had it happen to me in my work as a project manager. But I know that I have to answer to someone when things go awry, and it is obvious, and frustrating, that CG has no intention to answer to us, the player base, about what happened. What they will do, as they have done in times past, will be to give us things to "hopefully" look forward to, but give no explanation as to what happened, or as to why the timeline got shifted.

    I believe that one of the many reasons this "Mobile" game has survived as long as it has (outside of it being Star Wars ZOMG!) is that the community managers had done a satisfactory job of engaging the player base. However, since the Jedi Knight Revan event concluded, CG has been very quiet; if not Silent.



    If anyone from CG reads this, I would encourage you to let us know what happened, or at the very least, when we can expect to hear from you.

    If there was only a place where players and devs could interact. A place where we could talk about the game.

    You would think, at this point there would be. Maybe Reddit?
  • Gaming-fans.com maybe. That's where the calendar gets posted after all... so that has to be more official than this forum....

    Maybe, if only there was a position created to directly communicate between CG and us...

    That's a really good idea. Someone should write a letter to CG asking for someone in such a position. At the same time ask about the Road Ahead

    If we’re going the speculation route... I’m guessing the game changers lost test server access because of location test held near the end of October. If the on-site testers were testing features of an updated client, but the developers didn’t want the game changers to get that (incomplete) client yet, that would fit the pattern here.

    For TW bonuses, the blog post was originally dated Friday, October 26th, which would have been before any TW was in the client, so something probably went wrong the week of the 22nd that stopped the update from going out on time.
