Not really. It isn’t a partnership then. Once it’s posted here it’s just a thing.

What? That statement makes absolutely no sense.
Where did the person you're replying to mention anything about a partnership?

Yes, yes it is entirely strange that the official forum gets the update after a non-related 3rd party one does.

the end of last month we saw an outcry due to R2 being early in the month. There was a request to have the calendar out afew days earlier. this is a compromise that they get to do that, and help a site that helps promote the game.

this also allows them to put out the calendar and then fill in the final details that may need to shift as the end of the month closes in.

Interesting. Interesting. So you could say they are PART of a SHIP together. A part ship. Boy I wish there was a better word for that... NEveR going to find one I guess.

hero journeys have 4 or 6 month time circle

Why would you even need a hint at RJT or CLS at this point? If you aren't ready by now, that is on you completely. If you are too early in the game to be ready, then that is unfortunate but all you can do is plan for next time. I mean, the Vets have been out since what, last October? If you aren't ready by now then you can only blame yourself.

As a noob, I would appreciate the notice. I have cls characters ready... and jtr team I'm almost there on need about 17 days. The issue is more leveling them. It's 10 toons and I'd like to know which set of 5 to focus on taking from 75 to 85 first.

Right now I'm left alternating 5 levels to 1 set and then 5 to another. I know I need to do both and I am.... but it would be nice to be told which to laser focus on.

Would prefer not to miss both because I target the wrong one and have to wait till October timeframe to get when I could conceivably be ready for both if done in the right order

Shaggy, I would think that RJT will come after BB8. IF she comes next month. Could certainly be July before we see either her event or CLS' come back.

What I have done in the past is to just hoard gear and credits. Then try the first event and level as you need to in order to pass it.

I think we are likely to see them in June so seeing them now is not so strange. RJT made her second appearance on March 15. Exactly 3 months would be June 15. Oh look who is on the calendar during that time.

they are required to make money, yes, and the majority of that money is coming in the form of ad revenue, and other instances, so...while it makes sense to the player base to keep the playerbase happy, financially, there is little impact that the player base actually makes to a game like this. the microtransactions, that the whales get hooked on, are what drives the economy. the fact that this games playerbase are f2p, or only slight spenders, lets EA, not the Player base dictate the terms of scheduling, and the game devs know that.

Wow, please at least do a quick Google search before you make such overconfident statements.

"Star Wars has become a bankable brand on mobile.
Electronic Arts revealed today that the mobile role-playing game Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes boasts average play times of 162 minutes a day. This info came as part of EA’s Q4 and full fiscal year 2017 earnings report, which boasts record net sales and operating cash flow thanks largely to digital revenue streams that come from games like Galaxy of Heroes.
For the fiscal year 2017, digital sales made up 61 percent of EA’s net sales with $3.034 billion. This is up 20 percent year over year."

Other reports show: $68,958 DAILY REVENUE ESTIMATE, and $5M revenue in Apr 2018 Worldwide

And I don't see any ads in this game.

So bb8 event returning but no rey?

They said it would be a maximum of 3 months after the last one right? So her and Luke HAVE to return next month and they have to give us 2 weeks notice.

they dont HAVE to do anything, this is a game, a game that you are choosing to play, and the timetable is completely on their terms. They could have complete setbacks, that prevent them from doing something, like adding the 2 more pieces towards G13 that they said they were "Confident" that they would be able to hit with TU12, they said that months ago. and still no more G12 pieces. :smile: Just take it when it comes, and if you arent ready, 2 weeks isnt really that much time to get yourself ready if you are thinking as a F2P player.

Seeing as they explicitly stated that Heroes Journey events would return every 3-4 months (I mistakenly thought it was 2-3) yes they do have to. Lying to you customer base is a terrible business practice and they know it. They made a huge deal about keeping that promise. So maybe stop being so patronizing when you don't actually have any idea what you're talking about.
