Galactic Challenges MEGA

This is not a Galactic Challenges MEGA.

This is a Road Ahead MEGA. The majority of posts here are about Road Ahead as its own thing (how much info should be included, what RAs have looked like in the past, the fact that the RA was delayed, general comments about how this doesn't make up for generally bad communication, etc.). Only a minority of comments here are about the Galactic Challenges idea.

Off topic stuff should be removed or this thread should be renamed and mods should allow creation of a Galactic Challenges thread that isn't merged back into this one so that we can talk about actual Galactic Challenges and not whether or not we like CG's communication. As of now, it's too small a percentage of the thread to even have a coherent conversation.

@Ultra

This is the same as the past few Road Aheads ("we'll be introducing Relics", "We're working on LS TB", "We're working on DS TB") etc

No. It's not. Past RAs have covered multiple topics at a time. Posts addressing a single topic (Jedi Luke, upcoming Q&A, etc., etc., etc.) are not called "Road Ahead". This is an announcement of a specific topic. It doesn't address multiple topics and it doesn't give us a sense of how the game is going to evolve.

@everyoneelse:

Actually talking about the GalChallenges for a moment, I like the idea. HOWEVER (and it's a big however) the only way to prevent this from becoming a chore is, simultaneously, the way to address fears over Gas being unlocked by daily activities.

They said they're considering different time frames for completion from 24 hours to 1 week. Please, CG, definitely make it 1 week. By doing this, you allow us to time-shift our gameplay. We would not be committed to doing everything every day, even when we're busy, and on days when we have more time we can spend as long as we like trying for multiple feats and attempting multiple tiers.

Currently, everything is on a 24-hour schedule ...or less! ... except Geo TB, which is on a 36 hour schedule. Galactic Challenges (or any new content) is going to feel more and more like a chore the less and less we have the freedom to pick the day when we want to do the challenges.

So, unlock on daily activities if you want - but only once, and have the content available for a week. People who have more time on weekends can play on weekends. People who save completing their dailies for their arena climb only lose 1 day out of 7, with plenty of flexibility remaining.

You're already considering a 7-day availability period, CG, so this needn't be anything hard. Do this for the players, and everyone will be happier.
