Profundity and the R8/R9 change

its not as simple since the change requires a title update, same with the mod changes

So early communication is no longer a good look, i see

It's not "early communication" that's the issue but "misleading communication." It's about intentional withholding of information, not the providing of information. The announcement was made early to lure in more investment/whaling, and the good stuff will be delayed without communication to reduce the benefit of the investment/whaling. It's in CG's interest (in a narrow sense that doesn't consider future iteration) to provide minimal in-game benefit for maximum cash. Matchups in Kyber now are basically determined by i-win-button p2w consumables so this potential misstep in communication would be in line with their current policy.

It’s a whole lot better than what they pulled for a Malak unlock. I think it was announced 2-3 days before the event started what was required. Only needed 21k GP back then but still it was a nice middle finger by $$CG$$.

Why ultra is always defending mostly "un-defendable" CG crap? Is he paid or what?

CG_Ultra never disappoints!

It would be best if CG provided TIMELINES for this stuff, so that way we didn’t have to speculate on when stuff is going to happen.

We don't like that either though, because they gave us a timeline for p1 gear changes and then didn't follow it.

Then just hold raddus and cassian at r7. If the event drops and upgrade them when the event drops

Crumb said in a recent interview that phase 1B is still coming, can't remember if he said anything about phase 2.

Whether or not you believe him is a separate matter of course.

Idk, I believed him in October when he said phase one would be complete by the end of 2021. It's now August™ and still not done. I'll believe it when (if) I see it.

This makes no sense at all. Telling people that if they wait it will soon be easier to increase relic levels past r7 DISCOURAGES investment & whaling. Why take things to r8 now if it will cost less later?

It was good that CG told us about the upcoming change, and I have no problem holding on to my resources until the change is made. If they hadn't said anything, my Cassian would be r8 already.

CG: don't listen to dgree. I want and appreciate good communication, and I find it particularly valuable in this case where I can save myself resources because of the communication you've given us.

I think I could appreciate some update on some time frame. That said, early and good communication is always better by my book. I would never hold it against CG that they communicated this early.
