umm, maybe this should get looked at too

Those are your GA stats. You've been doing GA. That's what's been tracked.

Jesus. Some of us pay a lot to play this game. I dropped a vault or two to max my BH right before start. All of the posts about launching this on a weekend are so right. When has CG ever done the right thing? FML for being so addicted to this game.

*sighs*

All this about weekend launches.

The exhibition- which was stated explicitly to be a test run- was tied to the title update. The title update was a three-day process that occurred from Monday to Wednesday. Thursday was launch and signups. Friday was matchmaking and the first defense phase. Saturday was the first attack phase, when the critical error occurred. Had this exhibition continued, tomorrow would have also been a critical event, the first round transition. That is seven consecutive days of key events, with an eighth key event on day ten, the final resolution and payout.

Please tell me how you would fit this seven-day sequence of linked key events into a five-day work week with none of them falling on a weekend?

Let's say you choose to decouple the title update and exhibition. A move which would involve delays that this playerbase is not patient with no matter how much they say they hypothetically would be when moves to get prompt content encounters snags. Now, you have to place a seven-day exhibition with key events on days 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 in a five day work week. The only way to do that is to launch on Tuesday. If they started on Tuesday, then the launch would still be three days out and they'd have no data. Because they launched Thursday, it crashed, they got data, and they're still ahead of a Tuesday launch.

Project management!

Further, this was explicitly stated to be a trial run. If you chose to spend a large number of resources on a trial run, that's on you. Not on CG.

Real project management would not accept failures of this scale for such a mature product. Real project manage.ent would clean house of poor performing resources.... just saying...

I'm sure who sounds like they do project management, you never save an original before sending out a new feature or update to a "mature product", because issues never happen, its a mature product.

Hahaha so much is broken

Why start this over a weekend? Was it the same person who made you guys always post big controversial posts on Fridays too?

Can CG get anything right before a weekend? More at 11!

Lol. So true.

Swgoh. No not Star Wars galaxy of heroes... nah. Star Wars galaxy of hotfixes. ;)

Crazy how many things were screwed up on this beta-test... Oh wait I mean "exhibition" ?
But hey, I will take some free rewards for doing nothing! ? Just wish they would have made it more clear what this was really gonna be.

You mean like when they said...

As you are aware, we are running two Exhibition events to ensure the feature is working as intended and to allow players to practice with the feature before engaging in the full Championships.

Testing is an explicit function of the exhibition.

Yes, I agree, and I was vaugly aware of the details from skimming through the main GAC post... But I feel like this wasn't made very clear "in-game" from what was in our INBOX prior to the event. Hence why I think there is sooooo much outrage over this glitchy mayhem. If you read through the comments, it appears that many were under the impression that this was the 'real thing' for a lack of better words. Not everyone follows every detail in the forums, or even goes to them at all for that matter.

BTW... My making fun of using the term "exhibition" for what was really a public beta-test, is something I stand by.
The only way that term is relative is in that the scores weren't going to count towards our actual standings in the championship.
Not that I can think of a word that is more accurate while still sounding aesthetically pleasing, but that doesn't mean I can't make fun of it.
Jus'sayn' ?

@Kyno
Restore the Championship Score earned during attack phase to 0 and let the score earned before that to be as it is. This is the most fair decision imo.

Kyno's just a forum mod. Not an employee with any decision making authority at CG.

Regardless, scores reset between GAs. It doesn't carry over. There is no reason to ever suspect that it would.

At least I could have some fun and test my teams
I am excited which way it will continue

I am just giving my suggestion. Kyno might transfer it to the concerned team. I am not indulging him any decision making. Apologies Kyno if I got it wrong.

Well these scores have been added to the lifetime of all the players.

You know you complainers sound so childish. Why don't you get a job doing this and play your own game if this one bothers you that much. Childish.

Spoken like a true cat lover. I'll bet you have like 40,000 of them in your lap right now.

Hey, leave cats out of this!

I know CG is extremely bad at testing, but, guys, we ARE NOT your beta testers. You confuse something...
