I have similar feeling and will always maintain that their lack of ability to communicate will be there undoing. There are other EA Star Wars games where they have a strong community manager in place dealing with, interacting with and generally sorting out little niggles.

If I had any advice to Carrie it would be to put in a really clear and obvious structure for communication.

So my advice:

1) A monthly dev post, this could be from any of the team that gives us some stats on what’s happened the previous month and a bit of a heads up on anything coming in the month ahead. 2) A proper PVE calendar and PVP calendar of events, not this outlook calendar nonsense a proper professional post, similar to the battlefront ones so people can see what’s happening. 3) An on going list of known bugs and where they are in terms of fixing them, updated weekly. 4) Monthly or BiMonthly community polls asking for people’s views on some things they are looking at and gathering opinion from more people than just the small circle of players they are currently using. 5) Quarterly Q&A session when the road map lands.
6) Significantly better interaction on the forums and reddit etc, it’s obvious they read this stuff but very rarely interact.

There’s a lot to say here but I agree with a good amount of the sentiment of this thread but I’m responding to this part because it’s basically identical to a calendar we are working up.

For a year we have been staffing to and making the case for why communication like this is needed. I usually make the MMO analogy. But we now have dedicated staff to handle cheating complaints, a community manager, a video artist, a 2D artist, a couple others working on the communications team. But the strategy is a ton of different vectors from Star Wars.com articles to talking to beta players to in-game messaging to the forum posts to a lot of single touchpoint complaints and concerns. Reddit and Twitter are supplementary, not strategy, and most of us do it to try to help but not in an official capacity. (Also it’s a little weird for me to think of it in terms of a quota.)

But it’s also been harder and harder to be on these platforms because the discussion is getting more volatile. I worry about ...

Try adding a tag for sell feature. That way the user has to click on the tag button from this screen and can bulk sell in the sell section. Requires two conscious acts to get through rather than spamming with fingers.

That’s a very good suggestion.

Probably consider just the Apple's own pricing tiering?

As example (there is huge table in there with options) but something that would cost 9.99$ will cost 7.99 £ (GBR). And 9.99 EUR.

Sorry that IS what I meant. We pick the pricing tier in USD and I believe the first parties set the rest. But I’ll investigate because if you’re saying that’s not what you’re seeing in other apps, then there’s something else going on.

Not hard required. But it will be easier with the Separatist Droids because they’re much more powerful. Honestly it’s a similar strategy to Chewie where the newer Bounty Hunters made it much easier, but shortly after the event started, people were posting proof they’d done it with all the older BHs. We’ve seen some people in testing pull that off with some of the Separatists and will leave it that way for sure.

When we made selling easier last year we saw a huge uptick in “accidental sales” so I’d be very wary to add it in more places. And this includes people blowing through a confirmation prompt. I’ll add it to the QOL list and see if we can do something for convenience without risking it.

We don’t control the exchange rate at all. That happens outside of our reach. Can I ask, do you not see this exchange rate with other games though? My understanding was that is common. If I can make the case with examples, I will try for sure.

She looks very good in game. I admit I found her to look not quite the same in the trailer but I chalked that up to seeing her right after the droids (which wouldn’t ever have an uncanny valley problem).
