Hello Holotable heroes!

We are excited to announce our involvement with Extra Life 2022! This will be the 6th year members of the Capital Games team will help raise money for this extraordinary cause.

As you know, this event holds a very special place in the hearts of many people who work at CG. Last year we raised over $20,000 with a goal of $10K, and this year we are setting our sights high again with a goal of $20,000 for our local charity, UC Davis Children's Hospital, located in Sacramento, CA. With your help, we know this can be achieved and we can show how amazing our community is and what we can accomplish together! In the 5 years the team at Capital Games has been doing this, we have raised over $62,000 for children in need.
This year, we wanted to do something different! We have created some fundraising milestones, and for each milestone we hit, we will unlock an in-game reward:

$10,000 Current Reward!
10K - The Extra Life Campaign has reached this milestone.

    There will be no donation matching as this event is being run by individuals from the Capital Games team.
  • Donated 👍🏻 Always happy to help out my alma mater!

    Donate the money from the players going for Jabba and Profundity
    Why wasn't Cobb Vanth shards a reward for the Krayt Dragon raid? Why wasn't Endor Gear Luke shards a reward for the Speeder Bike raid?
  • How much do you have to raise to get rid of datacons?

    While I agree with the datacon hate, I think that the thread about a charity event is the wrong place to do it, use the rest of the forum for that

    So I have never done this before. I click the link and hit donate it ask for a team member. Does each team member at Capitol games have their own goals that we choose to help with but all funds add to the ultimate goal of 20k?

    if the goal is reached: will the extra GC reward at least be easy challenges that doesn't require inquisitors, or have super RNG because the enemy is fast and hits like a truck?

    i mean since its a bonus reward it should be a gimmi for most players
  • no offense, but Capital Games & EA take so much players money they should just donate on our behalf
  • If the goal is reached can we get the gear crunch phase 2 released?

    That'd be funny if they were to run inquisitor ones.

    Do you know if Capital Games as a studio supports other charities with donations?
  • With the money we pour into this game I feel it would be pretty easy to match 20k I'd rather you did that then give us a free pack and an extra event

    So I have to say I've done events similar to this in the past. The group that's doing this is a group of cg employees, not cg as a whole. The employees are the ones Taking it upon themselves to earn money for a good cause, and talked the higher ups into giving the bonus rewards. The higher ups could've said nuts to that.
    I very much dislike the datacrons and unfulfilled gear crunch promises, but I can at least support this team of employees trying to do good for a great cause.
    Cg as a whole may be dishonest and not the greatest, but these ppl are trying to do some good with the position that they have.
    Good on the devs participating for trying to help ppl. Period.

    Yes, that is correct.

    For example, if you go to the roster page and see someone named "Meathead" they'd be a prime candidate for donation towards their goal.

    The overall team goal is 20K

    That's awesome! Thank you!

    We're closing in on the 10K Mark

    I started my campaign a few days ago and you awesome folks have got myself up to $500, which is awesome.

    And not that it's a competition or anything, but hotdang, Crumb is killing it right now with donations! haha
  • How much did or will the company donate? Begging you players for a donation and don't give a hint how much you spend. There are better companies i will give my money. This call is only hypocritical.

    That is because the company has nothing to do with it, it is organized by a part of the team. And they are probably donating too. And you dont give the money to the company, you give it to the hospital.

    So while their call is not hypocritical, your move not to donate because you dont like the organisation (that is not even doing the event in the first place) putting in updates you dislike seems pretty stupid to me.

    Why dont you ask McDonalds next how much they are contributing?

    Very nice!
  • We have adjusted the rewards for the event!

    what happened to the bonus galactic challenges, I was looking forward to possible extra omicrons :'( ? (I know they were on the list but idk if we reached that goal, still losing them is not good)

    also IMO it would be nice if raddus or another newer charatcer was the bonus drop, over UURURURURU

    I think they replaced it with rebel assault battles. I agree raddus would be better and ties in and further promotes their new capitol ship. But maybe they don't want to give us raddus shards yet. On the other hand we seem to be struggling with our goal maybe more people would donate if radduss or a new character was put in his place? Or even inquistors as we know how much they are needed.

    It doesn't really matter to me as the real reward is helping out a good cause.
