How do you find out about other special goals, if not by coincidence? Wouldn't it make sense to create a special thread, where players can state what they are planning? Then you could evaluate which one qualifies for a special title and keep an eye on their progress.

While I understand your point, having a thread with a list of stated goals to check whether or not one would be awarded a title (or some other reward) for doing something particular in-game is not really within the spirit of what thegeneral accomplished. They forged their own path, for personal reasons, without the expectation of being rewarded for the effort.

With a list thread, people would throw out objectives and goals, and then if I stated "that feat won't result in an award" players would likely bail on their own objective (either bc they know they wouldn't get a reward or because now someone has determined their pursuit isn't "... Read more

Wow, didn't know you were pushing for the discord engagement for months!

However, I do remember you mentioning looking into that when you joined the communication team. Didn't realize it was an ongoing process for so long

Remember this whenever you see a "wHaT ArE tHEy DOiNg wiTh ThEiR tiMe??" post lol

I just assume you're all arguing over whose turn it is to use the lone laptop. :joy:

We're work from home, so we can't even solve it the old fashioned way: arm wrasslin'

Although maybe that's a good thing. Crumb has pretty meaty forearms.

This is AMAZING! Keep up the great work thegeneral! Thanks Doja for recognizing this.

^this

i hope future recognitions don't take 3 months to realize

Same, but I've learned working for a huge corporation that partners with another huge corporation surrounding one of the world's biggest sci-fi franchise IP's involves some logistical maneuvering. If it took 3 months to make this happen (and a similar amount of time to make our way onto Discord), you now have a pretty good idea of why some of my ambitious plans I've been hinting at for a while don't get done within a few weeks.

But, we're still gonna keep at it and hopefully over the next few months and beyond you'll be able to see the effort we've put into increasing our engagement and ways of interacting with the players.

@CG_Doja_Fett finally, thank you! Congrats again, @thegeneral !

Doja, can there be some other, less special feat that the rest of us plebs can aspire to, in honor of the heroines of Star Wars? This sort of thing should be encouraged across the board if possible. Thanks in advance

I like the idea of letting people forge their own path and then rewarding them for doing outside-the-box, meaningful things that promote positivity.

Haven't really discussed adding in a similar feat/reward for other players, although I'd be all for it.

Doja, I know you mentioned highlighting top guilds, and showcasing them

Here's the leaderboard for this month, after speaking to some of the members of the #1 guild, they said they are happy to co-operate with you!

So feel free to reach out to FC Nova!

Some good ideas I've heard from top guild members in another server is:

1. In-Game Pop-up
2. Customized portrait or title

I like this idea. The guild showcase is an idea we are exploring and would like to do, so I don't know exactly what it'll look like and it'll be a little bit before it premiers. But, again, I like this idea and am interested in the inside scoop of your achievement.

Official news and sneak peaks have been coming on podcast and other forms of interview media ..... it has been a while since forums were the main hub for info. Often an update says see forum for more info and there isn’t anymore info.


So does this mean you won’t be releasing info through the other forms of media anymore?

We try to do it concurrently if we do put out news and announcements via other mediums. Point is we "likely" won't be breaking news on Discord until it's otherwise been made publicly available.

This GC is a bit more of a puzzle, per the devs. Has anyone had much luck?

Okay, they watched and stated:

"Wave 2: Damage shortage is 100% a result of defeating enemies before the additional damage was fired (to be fair, the damage still fired, it just didn't have any targets left).

Damage numbers in wave 5 line up with the PvE difficulty override for each unit if you assume that 2 additional hits were dealt to each unit (looks like most were non-crits). So it looks like the on-screen numbers were not all displayed due to lag (similar to how certain animations don't fully display when graphic intensity increases) The damage was still dealt, however."

I honestly feel like we should make a new thread for all the stuff about doja and the communications that some people are still mad about. And we should keep everything that is referring to the raid on this one. But like everything else, that's my opinion.

If you're new to the forums, you'll find threads like these often devolve. It's mostly because we've all said all we can about the raid and repeating ourselves constantly is even less productive than going off topic.

I'm not being a troll. I am asking for my opinion to be allowed. Unfortunately when people have no counter argument for their rationale then it devolves into "I know you are what am I?". My whole point is it was a poor effort to insert humor there. Not judging him as an employee merely casting...

Also, they're wondering (based on looking at Wave 2) if "the problem is they're just doing too much damage and killing units before the extra damage hits are needed"?

Sure

I reached out got these responses (please note if you can post the video for our review, it'd be helpful):

"It won't continue to deal damage to units that were defeated earlier in the ability. It looks like the taunting unit in the back is still active; could the player post the full video of the interaction or post a couple extra pictures of the next few frames?

There's also the possibility that not all numbers displayed due to lag, but they still get counted."

I've reached out on this. Probably won't hear anything until after the holiday break, but let's see what (if anything) we can make happen.

Yes because in the past we've been so happy with cg when they've been silent. Cmon you guys just keep moving the goalposts here.

Posts that don't answer anything or are off topic are effectively silience.

No, they aren't. You have a short memory if you've forgotten what it was like before doja began to interact with us.

Does that mean I don't want communication on important issues? Of course not. I'd love to get an answer.

But to complain about the communication we DO get, is simply foolish, short sighted, and displays a severe lack of memory

The only real difference now, is we get a "you are being heard" post now followed by a month of silence r...
