Galactic Chase: Malevolence v Negotiator

Or...let the players choose when it starts...

or let the players know when it starts?

If the survey results were so evenly split, why can’t we offer both Malevolence and Negotiator shards for next galactic chase?

Last i checked, one side had more votes than the other

Right…50.6% to 49.4%? Not exactly an overwhelming majority now than is it.

It’s not and that’s how polls / voting are (just need 1 vote more than others)

Maybe next time we have a close election in the United States we can have two presidents!

I think you have to ask yourself why we had a poll in the first place? If the intent of the poll was to create content that would make players happy/increase enjoyment in the game, then the poll results are pretty clear:

If only one capital ship is chosen, half of the users will be disappointed - that’s a lot.

Fortunately, this isn’t an “election” where a single winner is chosen. CG can easily offer both ships either in a subsequent galactic chase or simultaneously by offering different shards on different nodes.

Last time I checked, we didn’t have an “election” to choose our favorite Geo for this current chase, or did I miss that?

LOL you are reading way too much into it. It's a new thing they're doing, and they were going for some community engagement. They weren't saying they needed an overwhelmingly majority or any such thing, and there is no tech to allow players to choose which in game.

Accept the shard shop currency and move on.

Really, all they need to do is just skip this nonsense and give us the shards, since they're probably going to screw it up anyway.

The poll was designed to give the players some agency in which Galactic Chase comes next. Also, these Galactic Chases will become more frequent than they have been in the past.

So, rather than think of it as half of players being disappointed their preferred choice wasn't the one that won, it'd be cool if people saw it as a) a way to engage with something on the forums, b) giving the players more input on what they're getting, and c) it's an event awarding you extra stuff that you might not have gotten before - so either way, you're gaining something, not losing anything.

Sorry again. That comment was below the belt. I know y'all are trying and I'll keep my comments more positive and less troll-like.

I fail to see how anyone can see this poll as a negative. The one I voted for lost, but you either get the one you wanted or you don't and either speed up that farm or get shard shop currency, all for no extra effort. At least there was a poll.
