Nobody said it outright, but CAT is due to be farmable around 25 may; she is supposed to be the first proving grounds char… so it will probably drop around that date…
Announced on April 13th and then radio silence some 35 days later. If CG excels at anything it's making claims/promises then taking forever to follow through.

So you are saying CG should never post another State of The Galaxy or Road Ahead ever again?
Just announce things a week or few days before release?

I mean, that is their usual mantra is it not?
They love to have radio silence and say nothing for months while everything gets really really stale, and then release a load of info 2-3 days before the content is released so if it is particularly juicy, people will whale in order to get whatever is released, or to take full advantage of the new unit/mode/release.
It would be beneficial if they gave timeframes or updates on their public projects. I get that things like Malgus or a GL need to be kept quite for a surprise but things like gear crunch changes etc should be mentioned on their development tracker to give an idea of how long it is going to be, to have an update if something is delayed.
This way people will be informed and at least know if it is still being focused on.
It would really help bolster their image and i feel would help give CG a more positive image when it came to communicating with their player base. instead of 11 months of being infuriated at the lack of communcation (something which got better with Doja, who was by far the best community manager as long as i've played the game (can't yet comment on Tusken as he's not been here for long enough, plus its only a temporary role for him)).
Anyway rant over, i'm sure Ultra will have something to moan about my post.

If Proving Grounds was mentioned in either the SotG or RA I would understand the future release as those what those updates are intended to provide. But when it's just a random post I would expect something a little sooner, but that's my problem for expecting something reasonable.
And in all fairness when they release new characters they drop a kit post then we get that character in the next few days so that's likely how most people were thinking Proving Grounds would be.
They had to address why CAT shards were going to be unavailable or would you prefer radio silence on why they pulled CAT shards from the game for weeks / months until the Proving Grounds event was ready?
I will let CG know that the players prefer radio silence when CG pulls shards away in the future until 2 days before they are ready to release the shards!

Maybe you could be like "well there's no specific date in the post...." sure. But curiously everything else they've announced since is in the game or has a date or time attached to it. Like Grand Inquisitor at the end of June. And most importantly, the anniversary of CAT was specifically mentioned. Well the anniversary is upon us and all we've had is a vanished CAT from conquest's shop and now she's conveniently available again for crystals only. But she'd vanished for a LONG time with radio silence on CG's part. It doesn't build the confidence of their customer base when they just stop talking and don't acknowledge that they removed her from the shop.
And still no word on when Proving Grounds is going to release makes everything look worse for them and builds more ire from their customers.

You have such a clear disdain for the player base, why do you mod for this site?
And you also have a great ability to ignore the actual point of the conversation and create a straw man argument every single time.
Please just step down from being a mod if this is the sort of response a very valid criticism and question from the community brings.

It's not a disdain for the entire player base. It's disdain for frivolous complaints. In this example, someone complains about late communication, then complains the communication was too early.

That is clearly not the main point of the argument, are we serious right now?
The complaint of the player base is that CG tells us about proving grounds, which is supposed to coincide with the 1 year anniversary of CAT. We were told over a year ago that all conquest characters would be more easily farmable after that one year mark. We are now at that point with radio silence, while at the same time CAT has mysteriously been removed from the conquest store even though RC is still there.

Well, if we had hit the 1 yr mark already, you might almost have a point.

Okay, so why has she been removed from the conquest store then? Why are we not following the same cadence as RC? And if CG is planning on suddenly changing that cadence, why were we not informed at all about it?

Hopefully they are there for a few more weeks.. for my alt
I heard of another place to wear that hat that really helps improve wifi signal.
They haven't been there for weeks now
And conveniently at the top!

Proving Grounds wasn't in a State of the Galaxy or Road Ahead. It had its own post, and referenced the 1 year anni since CAT's arrival, which is this month. https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/255344/new-proving-grounds-event#latest
