“882 out of millions did it so stop complaining”
Please let erik handle all communications honestly. If anything just so we can get information that actually matters and not just random facts worded into a way to try to prove your point.
Hey DM, perhaps this could have been worded a little clearer, but I don’t think we’re expecting everyone to be satisfied because x% of completely F2P ($0.00) players got him. But I do think it’s an important thing to note that in the context of very little lead time and it being a very challenging event, a non-trivial number of players made difficult trade-offs over the course of months, choosing not to invest in certain other characters for the sake of chasing the thing they wanted, and it paid off for them.
We can talk about the merits of so many different things, whether characters should be more or less attainable, more or less obvious to divine the requirements, how long we should get to prepare, what’s the right pace to roll out new characters, etc, but many of the negative comments I read daily seem to suggest something along the lines of "I should be able to get every new thing and dominate every part of the game, all the time - and I shouldn’t have to spend a dime to do it....
Read moreI hear your feedback and I'm actively talking with the team about it. I'll try to get you some insight into Padme's gear requirements as soon as possible.
We've found an issue with Padmé's gear. The team will follow up tomorrow morning.
Hi holotable heroes,
We are aware of an issue with Padmé's published gear and will further address it tomorrow.

Wow! I couldn’t have imagined a better honor than having it on the one laptop used at Capital Games!
Better yet, it's on the TV in the entrance for all to enjoy! https://i.imgur.com/HVeCFuF.jpg
Setting this as the background on the studio laptop!
I trust this guy, because he knows that the previous guy gets it, which means he seems like he knows what he's talking about. Take an upvote!
Hey CG_SithA**, errrr, TopHat, we got an upvote!
Now if only that upvote could turn into an interview. This guy's work contract ends in 3 weeks. LOL
Edit: I'll bring the maple syrup.
Who has two thumbs, is from WI and has legit made maple syrup? This guy.
Edit: /u/CG_SBCrumb loves pancakes.
Woah woah woah, too much excitement here. Careful around the laptop guys. Congratulations on having a second computer by the way. We seen a photo of it! Haha
Maple syrup + laptop, not good.
It’s been a struggle to keep it consistent over time, but we’ll keep trying.
It’ll be Jawas just cuz.
This guy gets it.
What worries me is them saying we're going to give Anakin a zeta after Padmé is released but will monitor their performance to make sure they're not overperforming. So they're gonna release both and maybe nerf them after people have whaled/geared?
We're running a closed beta test right now to gather that data and ideally make any needed changes prior to Padme's release.
I make those sort of mistakes all the time at work and sometimes you just gotta look at and laugh. Glad you were a good spirit about it. Sorry if I came across a little mean.
Not at all, friend!
Very curious about the 50/20% numbers they cite.
I always though they have more complex balancing (or mis-balancing) logic, like offense/defense win rate tiers based on the gear levels, zetas etc. Not just an average of everything which can be skewed.
It's far more complex than the top line numbers, but these numbers are a good conversation starter.
I know this is a shot in the dark and won't happen but can we please get a comment on why CG thinks they need to dictate the meta to how THEY see fit, and not let players dictate it themselves, as it has been traditionally in this game.. and almost every game a meta takes place in. I know how I feel about this, I know how the majority of the community feels about it.. It'd be nice to get a devs perspective on it.
This is an interesting question and there are tons of nuance to sort through, so maybe this isn't the right forum, but I'll make a note and perhaps we can address it in an upcoming Q&A or dev interview.
100% agree. Hope this level of communication continues.
Thank you! It's been a really respectful conversation so far - and that helps us open up further. We'll keep trying to be as transparent as we can and share our thought process.
Happy Cake Day!
Thanks! I didn't realize that was a thing.
I see what you did there.
