As a game to an incoming player it has a lot to do. The beef comes from the older accounts. I don't believe anyone complaining is still working on Traya. Perhaps the players, including myself, with complaints about the lack of new content and communication should simply move on?

Unfortunately no one is going to come here on a random day trying to convince you to stay here. They have said they are working on a way to produce content quicker. I guess that statement is not enough for you.But trying to press like this doesn't mean they can make those tools or the content any faster than they are already trying to do.

It's not a passive-aggressive press, @Kyno , but sincerely asking a genuine question on the background of a novel situation. 2020 Smartphone gaming where a large percentage of the player base has had the game with them for 5 years is new territory in terms of human behavior. The time that smartphones have had us behaving this way is a blip in human evolution. In the grand scheme of human behavior, relationships with technology, expectations from a game, seriously it might be the best decision and reasonable 1 for veteran players to move on. Perhaps that gives you enough context to reevaluate the question.

I think CG struggles with a lot of things they probably shouldn't. But I also think the easily convinced army of pitchfork wielding fans of you-know-who gets worked up about the littlest things and expect so much more than they should. The middle ground between the forum people here who defend the company no matter what and the people screaming for blood because one account got banned for violating ToS is the way to go.Should we be wanting more right now? Absolutely. But we're also still in the middle of a pandemic and the programmers of this game live in the middle of one of the biggest impact areas for COVID in the country, so even being able to work from home has likely slowed them down quite a bit.Right now it's the people in the pitchfork crowd that are making dealing with the community of this game unbearable. The forums have merged a huge batch of posts into a "bitching about Arnold" thread and still 95% of new posts are complaining about the same thing. It's toxic right now and do they have some reasonable ideas and complaints about cheating? Sure. But they also need to realize no one at CG really cares what a clickbait youtuber has to say because they are bound by certain rules from EA and because they continue to make loads of money despite the overwhelming negativity from said youtuber for a long, long time now.

They have time to make new puzzles but not time to address lucifers daddy negotiating with cheaters?

I guess we can agree to disagree, but you seem to be expect someone to come on here and convince you to keep playing, or to convince older players to keep playing.We all play this game for our own personal reasons and choices. If you feel the game is not for you, as I'm sure many have done after they picked it up at any point over the last almost 5 years.They have stated parts of the plan they have and are working on the broader post, with RA. Again if that's not enough for you and you dont want to keep on keeping on..... not sure what anyone else can tell you.You are absolutely right that there are many things going on in gaming that are in "uncharted territory" and I'm sure that makes things difficult on both sides of this.I dont think you can speak to the best actions to take for anyone but yourself. Your view on what is going on is how you see it and may not be indicative of the "human nature" for everyone else.

Is the player base demanding too much?

We are just that, customers. They have ZERO regard for what is needed.

Yes we need them to communicate, but in no way was this character a response to anything.

Awful timing then, which proves further they either don't care or ignore us... which is the same.

We are not costumers, we are just numbers and "data" to them.

Reskinned consumers?

They do care, if you are interested in knowing the truth.

You show the community every day how much you care about the game and the community.

CG shows the community every day how much they don’t care about the community and only care about money.

You talking to some staff there does not mean you can possibly know they care, just as much as none of us can possibly know for a fact they don’t care. What we can see, however, are actions that show the exact opposite of caring for the community and its concerns.

Whatever happened with the beta test program? Not a single update on that yet.

Whatever happened to the dev tracker? Not a single word or update on that, despite top hat saying he was gonna have a meeting to discuss it and get back to us.

The list goes on and on.

None of us except you see proof that they "Care". Your word rings hollow. If they cared and gave a crap about the community the they would have been more open and communicative with us.

Many years ago a person I know told me he quit World of Warcraft because it required him to change his lifestyle. Raid scheduling, dailies, etc...

Honestly, that right there is one of my biggest complaints about this "game".
And I'm not an old player, its only been 14 months.

The whole "stores" refresh at 6-12-6-9-12
Arenas at 6 & 7
Raids launch at this time.
TB/TW/GAC at that time.

Honestly, to me there is entirely TOO much to do in this game on your "typical" day, & yet, not nearly enough to do on a day when you just want to veg out & play a lot.

I see why people want a "sandbox" for 2 reason.
1. To test teams against arena quality teams.
2. To be able to sit down & do fight after fight when YOU want to do it.

Maybe YOU have time to do a bunch of gaming at Noon, and you want to do 20-30 fights in a row to pass the time.

But the game doesn't let you do that.
The game forces you (rewards you) to do your fights in your final payout hour.
It limits you do just 5 fights w/o you having to cough up crystals.
The game is actually VERY annoying to me in the way it makes you rearrange your schedule, so the point that, to me, its not a game, its a chore, and its not fun.

And their timing of events just always boggles me.
A Saturday will have nothing but an Omega battle for me to do when I have the day off.
But a Wednesday when I have work all day & then Dinner & a meeting of the Home Owners Association at 7PM will be the day they launch both an Assault Battle & a Mythic Battle that I'm trying to cram in by midnight & loosing sleep.

The entire set up of tick tick energy for the day but then your capped after 1/2 a day of earning it forcing you to sign on every few hours is a horrible set up from the start.

And the sad thing is, SO much of that tedium could be removed with just a few changes.

1. Grant 4 free "refreshes" of the stores every "day" & stop the stores from refreshing.
So you can see the same # of items but do it on your time.

2. Increase the Energy Cap. Set it build up for a few days.
The formula is Level + 59. Change it to "Level *5 + 100"
That way if we miss a day no biggy you can just play longer later.

Those are just 2 above that could be fixed easily, IMHO, to allow for less logging in or more logging in when you WANT to log in.

For me anyway it feels like I'd have more fun w/ Tetris on my phone for quick distractions & a REAL game like Starcraft-2 on my PC for when I want to play for a couple hours.

I’m glad someone is still using their noggin and offering constructive suggestions like these and not just grabbing a pitchfork and tying CG at the stake.

This is exactly what I feel. Everything is scheduled in this game in so much that you feel that you need to have to constantly have the game at the back of your mind if you want to stay competitive. I mean in order to get our free 45 energy you need to have us log in at a certain time in order to promote playing but the thing is there’s not enough to do in the game anyway. I login at certain times a day and I’m done, as I can do the daily objectives in a couple of minutes and then I’m stuck trying to find something to do in the game like mindlessly scavenging for relic parts or trying to check every character to see if I have extra gear to upgrade them.

It’s sad when a game is supposed to be fun and can play anytime is making me stressed as I have to conform to a set schedule for everything has absolutely no sense at all.

Not demanding much, just 3 things, apply the TOS equally and don't go cherry picking, buff Rey (so that her deserves to be called a Galactic Legend) and give us the content we want.

With your earnings you shouldn't have a problem.

Let the actions speak. And so far the actions have indicated the opposite.
