This was an intentional move by CG to stop us talking about the real issues, like why training droids even exist.

That, or why does hAAT still drop challenge gear, why aren't there any lootboxes with guaranteed full pieces etc.

All I know is that dates can be randomized and predetermined without being contradictions. If you program the parameters in ahead of time (No more than twelve days, no fewer than six days, no two on the same day, only Monday through Friday) you could generate a randomized list of dates that runs for a million years. Take those dates and manually enter them into the event calendar at the start of each month.

If they're manually entered then there will be mistakes sometimes, like entering the wrong type of heist or putting one on a weekend (like they did a while back before some event that I can't remember). It should probably be automated, but so long as I get my four heists a month I don't really care how it's done. When there's a mistake, so long as it gets corrected I'm happy.

Is this really difficult to do? Why can't we get what we were told? Either change the whole cadence to say monday training droid and friday credit heist or have it function as a stated. Running it on a sunday is against what was told at the beginning and just odd. I suppose it doesn't matter but I prefer to be expecting a certain cadence at get that!

So, because they accidentally ran a training droid heist instead of a credit heist and then made up for it by putting out another credit heist, albeit on a Sunday, this is a problem.

It was run on a weekend (Sunday, I think) once previously.

And they didn't make up for it by putting out "another" credit heist, the one on Sunday was within the normal 6-12 day window. You could argue they made up for it by putting out another training droid event but I don't think that excites too many people.

I just don't get why it has to be such a darn mystery. Have it on a regular day each week or every 8th day...whatever.

seriously, we got a credit heist. yay. quit complaining.

I liked it....I got another 10M

So you want people to be ok with finding out that they have been lied to for an extended time?

Ummm, no. I want people to regard trivial things as such. The credit heist will happen when they want it to and they don't want you to know when it's coming. Nobody has been cheated. Rub some dirt on it. Walk it off. Here's a lollipop. Have a nice day.
