Radio silence

To say a Dev or someone at CG can't take 15 minutes out of their day once a week to type up a summary of what is being worked on is insulting our intelligence of basic common sense. No one is that busy, except for maybe POTUS.

The amount of complaining is amazing around here. Better if I leave silently in the night!

You used to be one of the posters I looked forward to reading here. Now all you ever do is jump into thread after thread with fanboyish meta-complaints about other posters' complaints.
Yes, this thread contains a complaint. It is a single complaint, politely-expressed, with a valid reason and a specific purpose. What is your endless flaming of other posters in thread after thread meant to achieve? Other than making it so I now am tempted to no longer read anything you post at all?
Nobody here is asking for anything unreasonable. Just to not be left in the dark.
Some of us have paid hundreds of dollars to this company in a short time. Some have paid thousands. The company represented to us that it would communicate regularly, and it is not living up to its end of the bargain.
When the company does something people like, they get compliments. When they do the opposite, they get complaints. They have complete control over this. We have very little.

My only issue with the "official" responses (which sound eerily similar to last month's) is that, to paraphrase:

Well, we can't be on the forums constantly because we're busy "making the game bigger / better / more bug-free"

And then after two weeks of "head down, working hard" we get:

Small update today, notes below.
-Adjustments have been made to Galactic War matchmaking. These adjustments will not be done until you have restarted your Galactic War for the day.
-Credits will be sent to the inbox of players who logged in every day in February but did not receive the reward or credit for completing the achievement.

The first is questionable at best (the flood of GW complaints hasn't stopped - and it seems that people who were okay with GW before the "fix" are now having issues)
The second shouldn't even be listed as a "game update" - but is simply a customer relations issue.

My point is, where are the promised "game bigger/better/more bug-free"? It's been several weeks since any appreciable game changes have been made - and several of the "bug fixes" were simply changes to fix bugs that were introduced by updates themselves. As examples, DoT issue - and switch back - Anakin health bug in Yoda event...both of these were simply new "fixes" that weren't tested enough.

Honestly, I am starting to lose confidence in these promises of "bigger/better/more bug-free." As to this point most of the upgrades have been "small/more expensive/more bugs introduced" :/

If you've got enough time to read everyday, I think you can ignore a couple threads and use the time to respond.

I'm actually responding right now from the John... Does anyone else poop? Well dang, must be the only one. Carry on then.

What a bunch of nonsense. Go play something else if you have sand in your privates. Jesse or John don't owe us anything. Every time one of them gives info, it is perceived as an open door for criticism. If I were they, I don't know that I would be eager to open that door, either. Jesse should open another category for the "Galaxy of Tears" and you can all fling mud and bash each other all day in there. Demanding answers..lol. Your X-box is calling you, this is not the game you are looking for...

Put a sock in it!

107 days live, $200,000 a day (between iOS / Android...and a modest rounding of numbers) = ~$21 million for this game, and its probably higher than that. Take an EA cut and a Disney licensing cut and there is still plenty of cash to be "owed" something for a game almost 4 months in. That's 1/3 of an ENTIRE year..and the updates (REAL updates, copy pasting more LS/DS or throwing together a Yoda event hardly counts) we have gotten seem few and far between. There are STILL a ton of bugs that plague core mechanics of heroes. Balancing is wildly bad. Honestly I like this game but it's SO frustrating to play.

Sharing the roadmap of the game, giving more peeks into game modes, upcoming heroes, packs, balancing (WEEKS in advance, not a day before) would go a LONG way making people happy and speak with their wallets.

My suggestion, hire one personn...the REAL conduit between their team and their player base. Have a meeting for an hour twice a week, take notes, let that person reveal things and get us excited. Ease some questions, or raise some concerns on balance...EVEN if they don't agree. Just something. Heck, even just give a post once a week on upcoming things. SOOOO many other games do this...

This QA was such a great opportunity and they completely dropped the ball on it. I don't believe for a second all these "we are so busy we can't respond" blah blah.

There are many people here who would do this for free.
I have a software engineering background, work professionally in QA, and have an MBA from a top school. I'd do it for free. And I'd do it well and gladly.
I'd even volunteer to give up playing the game, despite enjoying playing it still, if that were required to avoid accusations that I were getting an unfair advantage.
This is just not important to them. I'm sorry, I know people hate "complaining", but it is what it is. People and companies take actions based on what they value.

If i was @EA_Jesse i would consult my lawyer before posting things officially. Thats where he is, i bet. The negative ppl did this. Constructive critisism is one thing, but some ppl go to far n have no manners.

I forgot OP, so might not apply to him
