A little clarity would be better than a five years plan.

I'm sorry, I dont quite get what you are saying here. Are you suggesting they dint do anything about leaks, or they shouldnt care?

You realize they have bosses, even the bosses have bosses. There are legal implications involved, and other agreements that could be, being violated.

They do what they can to get the information out there and Carrie commented a few times about the Road Ahead, here is one that seems to strike kind of true:

Something I've learned though is that while "couple" was taken literally, "almost" was not.

The general statment made about the release of information was cherry picked to be used against them, and even though they gave us multiple statements it was going to be late, some choose not to accept that things can and will happen that can delay things.

Oh i know @Kyno that they have bosses etc ... it is just that the game is clearly changing since the Revan thing and I am worried on the direction it is heading to (I quit MSF because of the level of P2P required).

After the delay we had on the road Ahead in Oct / November I would have expected some clarifications and maybe even some Q&A but nothing happened really. And now I am reading some weird stuff from the game changers program.

Maybe as an old player I am used to a more steady pace in the communication and this is entirely my fault. But Q&A was actually a good idea.

EDIT : I found the 5 years plan comment pretty disturbing too as I am not sure what it means and it appeared to me like a way to keep the base confortable in spending.
Sorry for my English ... I am French.

Edit : you moved the thread @Kyno ? I don’t think that debating is wrong in General

I wont hold being French against you, just dont hold it against me that I'm American :wink:

Every time there is a leak, the GC program goes into limbo. This game is one of the few EA games that has this much community involvement on the development side. It takes a lot of red tape to keep those things going and each time something like this happens it probably causes waves. It doesnt matter the source(I dont want to sound like I am blaming them).

I think many players misunderstand the implications of leaks and how it can damage the game and the elements that give the dev team direct feedback before elements are released to the player base. It's not something they can just ignore or let slide. They do a lot to keep us "in the loop", but it will never be enough for the player base.

People will blame the devs no matter what. The whole communication thing is just something to latch onto, it’s not a real issue. They can communicate all they want, people will just complain then if they don’t like the comtent of that communication. People say they want to know things early, but then complain when they find info so early it changes before it is released.

very true, but the leaks are annoying as heck.
