- CG makes enough money to have a team working on bugs on the weekend, when they have a service running on the weekend.
Imagine being on a train on saturday and it breaks down.
We have technical issues. Our team will come in 8:00 am on monday to fix the issue. Have a nice weekend. - So they're adding the Malevolence and LSTB is to close the chapter on clone wars huh? Doesn't seem like there is enough time to release any more new ships so what's going to synergize with Malevolence outside of the vulture droid?

I'm not sure if TopHat is a developer but even if he is, one developer doing a podcast doesn't mean no one else is still working on bug fixes
They have time to podcast but no time to fix anything
If its a silly bug and you cant fix it
Then why are you even employed?
Didn’t the developers peace out and say Monday they would look into it?
Yea I mean, why would a shop put in a little overtime to fix a bug that’s been recurring for weeks now, and hooked to people deciding if and when they spend actual cash.
Forget that noise, it’s the weekend time to party lol
Bugs happen all the time, even a developer has its limits on how much they can pump energy into the same problem and try again the next working day
Criticize CG all you want, but all the big tech companies also follow the same standard:

Continue venting out in the mega thread, or somewhere else
Get ready to hear from all the people who work 24/7/365 without vacation. :D"Pile;c-1994462" wrote:

Did you just compare people trapped on a train for a couple days to a bug in a phone game? Asking for a friend.."Citadel_of_Ricks;c-1994487" wrote:

Unfortunately this game runs on the weekend too. As with most companies, if there’s an issue on the weekends, they need to say “back to work till this is fixed”. Plenty of private sector businesses make their employees work overtime on the weekends for massive screw ups
Correct. Especially when it’s such a recurring issue, that is tied to people literally spending cash.
Ironically, cash is one thing you can't literally spend on this game....."Nurgle;c-1994428" wrote:

Mass transit and phone game are different levels of priority. And also different levels of manning. Your analogy is nonsense.
If the train breaks down and there's no plan B, people are stranded. If one event in a phone game is delayed by a few days, that is not a big deal. No one is stranded. The game's not even down; everything else in the game is still going.
The situation in GoH isn't even the train breaking down. It's the bathroom on one train car being out of order. It is not an emergency."Pile;c-1994462" wrote:

The Geonosians and IG-1000. There are enough splash units available, which is most of how ships work anyways.
With just bugs and hunters you can make a fleet with strong synergy across.- Changed my mind
- TopHat also mentioned that Mal will be the first Cap ship that can summon a unit (not an RI).
It was brought up in the podcast interview that this thread is about.
Also interesting was to hear dev perspective on the way that they have to think about things versus the player perspective. Short term vs long term, global vs individual, etc.
