QnA discrepancies

Is there any point in q and a now they just seem to back track on everything, they make their own conclusions like everyone loves relics and GL duels and not enough people want sandbox , just cause I don’t spam the chat every second of the day doesn’t mean I’m not interested in a sandbox do a public survey so we can all see the results so CG can’t fudge them. Finally this was q and a wast just a giant no to everything, what was the point? Btw mod upgrades are coming that’s what we have to look forward to and the reason why they won’t nerf ls geo.

They have explained where they are coming from with the "data", and they have other places where they monitor and talk with players.

agree or dont, they have some information about the situation. There are also other points that can be made:
- if a player has something going on IRL, anything not rewards based would probably be the first thing they dont play.
- not everyone will use it. plain and simple, a mode like this will without a doubt have the lowest % of interaction compared to modes that give rewards.
- unfortunately there is no "simple compromise", once it is in game people are going to ask for upgrades and QOL, its a game feature and it would need attention as time moves on. in for a penny in for a pound.

I think the last reason there is one of the main reasons we have been dragged on for a while with a maybe, and now its more of a hard no. At one point it was considered, but now the long term investment of resources is just not something they want to considering investing in, because it would start to limit their ability to put out content.

Think about it, since the JG has been introduced, how many times have you redone events just for something to play?

from a business sense (not $$) it makes sense, its a large (and continuing) investment for a lower/unknown gain.

Can you ask them for the data showing a significant portion of players don’t want a new raid? You know that thing they ‘worked on’ that is now paused for some new garbage that no one asked for, but is better?

After you show me the quote where they said a significant portion of the players dont want a new raid.

To be fair he didn't say they said that.
The community was hyped for a raid and in a classic CG move they've gone in the direction of, 'here's what they say they want, so let's overcomplicate that thing, change it into something else, deliver it, and then go silent for 2 weeks after it drops.

2 weeks later
"We saw high levels of community engagement with thing 'X' and we are very pleased with this.

Thanks CG, maybe just deliver on your promises of communication now and then and you wouldn't get blasted so wildly when you do actually speak to us.

All we gotten this year are GL’s, which are virtually whale and kraken exclusive, (yes there are maybe a couple underlying FTP that did it but they are the exceptions), new tiers to the assault battles (thumbs up tho those) and a couple marquees. Not the ocean of content they claimed.

When you say "this year" do you mean the full year that is completed, 2019, or do you mean so far this year in 2020?

If you mean 2020 then I'd say the year isn't over yet so maybe more coming. (One can hope)

If you mean 2019 then there were some new character events, Padme, Jevan, Drevan, Malac, GAS.

Not that any of those were available to anyone who hadn't been playing at least 6 months already, more like 18 months.

That said, as someone who has been playing 13 months & is has caught to the point of Malac being my next project, I can say nothing they release is geared towards newer players. (Except Marquees)

I like the Journey guide since it basically acts as a good point to aim for when you'll get a new character.
Oh sure, maybe you'll get lucky & pick it up at the 6/9 month points when it shows up for the 3rd/4th time, but its almost just as easy to wait for the 5th/1yr point when it pops into the Guide.
And really, given the fact that all events now require G12-13-Relic levels, even if you have the farm done in 6 months you might not have the gear for the entire team so the 1 year point just makes sense for FTP IMO.
If your FTP from 4 years ago & have an entire roster sitting at G12+3 then sure, maybe its not as long a farm but for the rest of us that aren't in that situation new events are completely unattainable.
