  • Agree with OP. I hope event calendars become the norm. I would also like to say that even though some people got their undergarments in knots over a cancelled event, I would MUCH rather have that happen occasionally then to be in the dark. Most reasonable people can read the "subject to change" disclaimer, and understand that "stuff" happens. I'm fine with that. Even though I have vehemently criticized this game, and the way things are handled at times I am happy we were given an outline of planned events. Thank you to the devs for that!

    In total agreement! It's nice to know what's coming down the pike. Thank you devs
  • Yeah the calendar is in EA/CG'are best interest; easier for the masses to plan and fewer things to complain about
  • Yes I would love to know whether Chirrut is ever coming back. I've been saving for him
  • It's my understanding that most of the devs return from holiday tomorrow, so it's likely they'll send an update out then. Capgasp does the event list like this anyways, so he's probs waiting to hear what's in store before sending out a list. But I do recall him saying he wants this to be a regularly structured thing.

    Sure it would be great. Id love to see it happen as well, however it is not in CG's best interest. What works best is minimal warning before an event in an effort to get people to spend a little cash if there not quit ready for it.


    Completely 100% disagree. People see an event coming and may pay a bit to prepare. Many events are completely impossible to prepare for once they have started. Also it's a fact that people get furious over stuff getting sprung on them, and then missing out. A calendar of events prevents angry customers rage quitting.

    This^^

    There is a difference between short notice and no notice.

    If people see something on a calendar and have some time to prep they will spend (if they want to) to prep.

    If you have no time to prep you can't spend (even if you would) there is no feasible way in this game to just buy everything you need immediately.

    Yup. There is only one time I've spent money on a crystal pack, and it was very early on when I KNEW the Yoda event was coming back in about a month, and I wanted to farm enough Jedi to get him. I used them for extra Cantina refreshes to farm Jedi faster. Monetizing a calendar is easy for them. "Here is an event in 2 weeks. Here are some $50 packs of toons needed for it."
