Initial feedback - SWGOH Forums

  1. Dark mode.
  2. Dark mode.
  3. Why have posts from random community members been migrated and yet the area for developer posts is completely empty. I am far more interested in dev posts being available.
  4. Are there any plans to migrate the "missing" months of posts otherwise they migration seems kind of pointless especially after point 3.
  5. We, as a community, rely on RSS feeds from the old forums in order to be alerted to new Dev posts. It was mentioned in the original post regarding new forums. Has the solution been found and how will it be documented and made available.
  6. Is there a rough timescale for the old forums to be made read only and then closed?

Thanks in advance.

    As someone who suffers from chronic headaches due to light, we 100% need a dark mode. I am hopeful that since this is a soft launch it will be coming soon!

    Hey there!

    I'll try and answer what I can here in response to your points.

    On points 1 and 2, we definitely hear you about Dark mode, it's on the wish list and while I don't have a date to give you it's not in a Galaxy far far away either. Stay tuned.

    3. Sadly not everything made it through the migration process, I'm working on transferring over as many of the developer posts as possible to the SWGOH Game Info Hub.   


    4. There are no plans to import any more content from the old forums automatically.

    5. For now the easiest way to do this is by checking the post feed on the user profiles of the Capital Games team.  There are plans to try and enhance the functionality which would allow us to build custom feed like what you are suggesting. Stay tuned.

    6. The old forums should by now be read only. We will soon implement a redirect which will direct people going to those forums to this site instead.

    We really appreciate the feedback.

      Thank you for the reponse. I am really happy about point 3 as that is the most important gap. and indeed by the majority of the post. However I wish to go back to point 5. Per the original post on our forums: 

      https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/269028/important-new-and-improved-galaxy-of-heroes-forums-coming-this-summer

      I quote: "We recognize that a significant portion of the SWGOH community uses RSS feeds to stay up to date. We’re optimistic that the plans for redirecting these feeds will work properly, but recognize that some reconfiguration may be required."

      Currently we are having to build our own solutions and this is just not an option for the majority of users who rely on RSS and are not technically minded. I am not sure that your response to point 5 really appreciated what we were told prior to the forum launch by CG_SBCrumb
