Maybe have a purpose outside of the game. Do charity work. Get a pet. Do some work around the house. Get a hobby. Learn a skill. Start a business. Raise a family.

37 years old, two kids and a wife, a successful business with 28 employees, just finished remodeling my kitchen 2 months ago. My free time is valuable to me so I don’t like to waste it, especially when for the last raid release we had a lot of general information released 3 months before the raid dropped. This new raid drops in 3 days and we know near nothing. Plus a phase 1 marquee with no info on a phase 2.

Thanks for your post though. Very helpful and on point. Keep up the good work young man and try to find something to do other than trolling. Girls might be a good start, but moving out of your parents basement should be top priority. @JacenRoe

You really felt the need to give all the specifics. I had little doubt that you are deeply mired in the responsibilities of adulthood as am I. I was in my own sarcastic way saying, 'grow up, and learn some patience.' Acting like the world is coming to an end because a game update doesn't come right this instant is not what I would expect from an adult.

We were given a ton of info, and an exact date, and a promise that more info is coming. Also raids are totally different than legendary/heroic events. All toons can be used. We need to actually have the raid in our hands to know how to prepare. Nothing they tell us is going to help. It might actually hurt. Ask anyone who geared Jawas ahead of the HAAT. Just hoard gear until it drops in the game. That's the best move no matter what.

And trolling impatient forum posters who want to cry into the abyss because the world doesn't revolve around them is how I'm entertaining myself in the tiny, insignificant blip of time we have to wait. You can't take that from me.

The communication we've received so far is as good as it's ever been for this game. We know quite a bit, and have a firm date on top of that. And we know that there are a bunch of videos being prepared right now with more info that will drop the second EA/CG gives the OK. The flood of baseless, childish crying on these forums (not you, but in general) about a few days of waiting is absurd.

I mean the game changers much hyped trip to Sacramento ended two days ago, but they're not allowed to say anything because EA/CG wants to induce panic farming so they can squeeze more money out of their heavy spenders

What exactly are they inducing us to panic farm? Nothing. In the same thread that you're saying that, another poster is saying he doesn't know what to farm.

A bit of coordination, and control on the release of information isn't a bad thing. They have made mistakes in the way they release info before, and been eviscerated for it by an angry community. We got a bunch of info already, and a firm date. Just chill.

Not giving out any info so people don't know what to farm up until the event is released is exactly how you induce a panic farm lol.

False nonsense. Saying, "here is an amazing character, and here is a previously unfarmable toon required to get him next week." That's how you induce pain farming.

There's no reason to hold back info on it unless they're thinking it'll squeeze money out of people. All I want is basic info: what will be the rewards, how many tiers are there, etc.

Clueless garbage. Remember when they showed us HRSoldier being required at 5*, but then it was changed to 7*, and they had to give out thousands and thousands of dollars worth of refunds? Remember when they gave us an estimate of August for when the HAAT would come out, and we mocked them relentlessly for about 2 1/2 months until it was finally ready? Getting the correct, finalized, approved, and proof read info out to us in a coordinated way prevents rage quits and refunds, and reduces player confusion.

We all know how raids work at this point. And knowing tiers, and rewards will have ZERO effect on what to farm. We will have to actually have it in the game, and start theory crafting to know what to farm. The more time that goes by, the more resources I hoard. And the better prepared I'll be for when it comes. You're just boohooing for no valid reason.

You induce panic farming by keeping people in the dark about what's going on. If they aren't trying to get people to panic farm, then why are they keeping people in the dark about an event that's gonna launch in three days?

Yes, I remember the August jokes that came about when they pushed HAAT back. I also remember that they put out plenty of info about the raid greater than 3 days before they released it.

You induce panic farms with time sensitive special events requiring specific characters. Not raids. Every character can be used in raids. And they run constantly. There is no need to panic farm anything for a raid. You're just crying for no reason.

They got back on a Friday and still have to edit and make the videos ready. I would imagine they then have to get approved by CG before they release anything..... we know that game changers that don't do this may not be happy campers.

So there is actual logistical reasons things take time.

The most recent releases on the forum of information that have had game changer vids have been very coordinated and even in single stream posts, since no one is there at CG to do this maybe we are waiting for all this to get put together on Monday. Still plenty of time to come out before the content update scheduled for the 28th.

That's fine if they need to edit the videos, but they're not even allowed to talk about when they're gonna be able to let the videos drop. That's obnoxious

@Tuftedpaper85 What you say would have some merit if they were launching an Event, as Events often require specific characters or character genres.
They're not. They're launching a Raid. Raids have not ever required specific characters, so there is absolutely zero requirement for any "panic farming".

If they're not trying to induce panic farming, then why is no one allowed to say anything?

Very few players have rosters that will be ready to complete this thing right away. There's gonna be people that will spend loads of money trying to get there

If you haven't been farming Sith Assassin and Trooper, you might find yourself disappointed Monday afternoon.

This was a painful thread to read. So... much... moaning.

I don't know why people think panic farming for a raid is a thing. There aren't any specific character requirements for Raids. Doesn't make any sense to me.

There's gonna be people who will want to beat the heroic tier within the first week and they will drop hundreds of dollars really quickly so they can do that. Very few people have every single character at gear 11/12
