Didn't they say something about more info coming at the beginning of this week? Hell, even just saying that it's delayed would be better than this radio silence...
But OP is right, there was something, but to be honest i'm no longer expecting CG to stick to their announcements, we have been proven several times they don't.
So just eat cookies and do something fun ;-).

Honestly folks....GC was not able to fix the Malak Event Mess within a certain time period. So i personally don't expect that they are able to "start" or give us the "New TB" within the next 3-4 weeks
We were told we will be getting information this week or early next week.
So, given that it's supposed to actually 'start' on November 18th, which is Monday, and it would normally start at what would effectively be about 9am in EA HQ time, then by "early next week" we're basically saying it's not going to start on the 18th if we aren't given an announcement 'this week'!
You'd need a Minimum of 1-day in-game notice/appearance of the TB for guild leaders in all different time zones to be given a chance to choose the desired TB between Hoth or Geo.
With 18th being a Monday and no game changes occurring over the weekend that would mean that the TB would need to be showing up in-game by no later than end of EA work-day on Friday, no announcement by then is basically a childish radio-silence way of saying the TB event as a whole is Delayed or completely Cancelled rather than simply switched to be another DSTB week.
na you would get more warning that this.. it’s like the devs have taken all the negative comments and decided to do some sort of media black out..
A week or two without massive reveals isn’t a media blackout. We know enough about it. I’m not expecting anything more than a “here it is” at this point. I’m not sure how much more we need. They have been trickling out info for a while.

It is a bit surprising given how they rolled out/teased the DS info over weeks. At this point relative to release we already knew about the new TB related characters (Wat, GBA, Negotiator), Acklay, the platoon requirements, the schedule, and even had a release video...
Agreed. I honestly think it might get pushed back into 2020. I'm not trying to be a doom sayer or anything, but let's look at some facts:
1) They had to spend development time that they had probably allotted to this event sorting out the Malak mess.
2) There is also some Wat shard issues going on for some people/guilds that they are probably trouble shooting.
3) The new movie is coming out in just over a month. And I don't think the higher-ups in the company are going to say "Sure, take your time on the movie tie-in stuff - just get that LS TB out."
My point is simply that unless the Episode 9 stuff is already almost ready, they are going to be more focused on getting that out promptly, than an arbitrary LS TB with no specific time-sensitive tie ins. So, imho, unless it's done and drops this week, I won't be surprised to see it pushed back to next year. And honestly, that's fine.

I think point 3 is why we will see it before 2020. They want to get it out before the movie content.
They have stated before to have 2 "teams" working in tandom on different things, I would imagine that the people working on the TB are not the same people working on the new movie content.

Maybe I'm just hopeful, but that's my take.
That's fair - and I hope your right. I am excited about a new TB - honestly even more than movie related content which typically is just marquees for characters which may or may not be all that interesting.
And just to clarify (since TVF seems to slightly misunderstand) - I'm not saying they wont have any TB - just not a new one.

Days passing, and no news
They just want us to spend everything, and then release something new. As always. Money first, users after it.
It was time to add capital ships, but let users spending, because some people saved GET2. Once they get tired of waiting and use it for negociator, we can release LSTB and malevolence
Can you explain? I just tried to ask and the spam filter ate it for some reason.
Explain what? I'm not trying to be difficult, I honestly don't understand what (or who) you are asking.

This was answered in another thread. Next TB won’t be the new light side one. It’ll be a repeat of Dark side Geo TB.
So, given that it's supposed to actually 'start' on November 18th, which is Monday, and it would normally start at what would effectively be about 9am in EA HQ time, then by "early next week" we're basically saying it's not going to start on the 18th if we aren't given an announcement 'this week'!

"We" as in the mods, or "we" as in the forums? Because on 11/1 Crumb said "next week," which was last week, and we all know that didn't happen.

We as in all of us. "We" the mods dont generally get the information first, just the idea of when the information will be coming out.

What was this in reference to? All I said was I wanted the Malevolence, and my point was that it will be delayed along with the LSTB (most likely).
