On February 8th, CG_Carrie posted that "Going forward, you’ll also see them in more traditional farmable locations." It's been 37 days since this post, and not another word since. So my question is WHEN?!?!?!

People didn't like that, so they put out packs, then put them into packs, then put them into shipments. But their ftp farm location is still the event. (Or crystals, depending on how you feel about those as a free player. I prefer to use mine for gear and refreshes, but I know other folks who use them for characters.)

Going forward, you’ll also see them in more traditional farmable locations. "So she is stating that they where moved to shipments and going forward they will be more "Traditional Farmable" So when will they be traditionally farmable.

The first day I got into arena I saw the space witches and was instantly turned down. It's a pure p2p team and thry will keep it that way for some time. They are still fresh, they are still good. Most important to me, they are beatable. By a variety of teams in fact.In short, the traditional farming location is the shard shop. Expect them on nodes when we get a level increase. Same for wicket.

Talzin, Wicket, and the New NSs, WHEN?!?!?

@CG_RyDiggs, is there any way you could give clarity on this? Are the Nightsisters going to be in F2P farming locations?

I don't have an answer either way today. I'll see if I can get one Monday, but 'we're not saying' might be that answer, just to be clear.

TTYL!

Wednesday and still no news, this is so unusual from you guys, your communication has always been on point !

Good to see the new and improved "transparency" from CG is going well

Customer support here rivals Comcast.

Let’s not bash devs, but I honestly think CG’s hands are tied by higher ups.

Talzin is a top tier toon. Great in arena, ds TB and territory wars. Nothing wrong with saving up crystals to get her to 7*

Did the same with Baze and DN.

Last time I remember there was a release cadence already set up for every character. What happened to it?!

Within weeks after announcing a release cadence, CG changed it. That's why, at least at this point, presuming anything about how, when and where a character or event will next become available is folly. They stated in the recent Q&A that they would address this point. But frankly, until I see it consistently over an extended period of time, I'm going to presume nothing. It's been 2+ years and there is still no consistent release strategy.

That's a large part of why I shifted to f2p for the past 18 months. Poor communication, poor implementation, and many of the "updates" are actually steps backward (i.e. nerfing GW into pointlessness, changes to TW scoring that reward saving your strong teams for offense and using mediocre teams on defense making it nothing like "war", a raid that makes most team synergies useless and instead encourages teams like the famed "Chex Mix").

I've seen several long time players leave the game in the past few weeks. I guess I'm just a slow learner.

Precisely. On the long side, 12 weeks to farmability. Everyone was excited with that announcement. But Zombie and Spirit were release at Halloween. This is 5 months ago. Talzin should remain in her event, but those two should be farmable on a node since January.

Just do what you say you're going to do and people will be happy. If you break a promise, make things even better. Very simple business principles.

Lots of crickets in this thread.

Is this another ignore them and hope it goes away approach?

We’ve seen that quite a few times from CG. I thought that was going to change?

@CG_RyDiggs

Exactly which Monday did you mean? You completely missed the first Monday after your comment. Is there a real time scale for a comment or did youbjust mean "soon"?

Well, it certainly shows how valued we are as players. A simple, "I checked and can't say anything about it" would have been sufficient. Just ignoring people is downright insulting.
