BlackSilverRoar Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 B1-SAL Probe Droid: pretty cool looking pet, thanks. It's red eye and extending arm are a really good touch; the red eye reminds me of HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey (nice). Looking forward to adding it to guild (when its addable). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a mistake --> https://forums.swtor.com/topic/929094-jr-4-recon-droid-mini-pet/ What i'm still wondering from @JackieKo though ( and that ^ thread is *locked/closed* so i can't ask there ) is whether or not the lucky players who happened to login during that 1-hour bug window still KEEP the wrong mini-pet ? Or do they have to wait to receive it again properly like the rest of us ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amodin Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Doubtful they will remove it. Especially if they are just going to give it again in the future, which was in the same post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThanderSnB Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Yeah, it's way too much trouble to remove it. They get to keep it. Eventually, everyone else will be able to get it at the intended time. Who knows when that is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see communication is as high a priority for them as ever I have been wondering about it as well. Too many locked posts. That on top of, little heads up on upcoming promos/rewards (if it wasn't for the wrong pet there would have been no post on the subject.) Next week is may 4th and still no announcement on that, we need to read other (non BW) sources about upcoming promotions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see communication is as high a priority for them as ever Depending on the information being presented, locked threads can be beneficial when relaying info. Much easier to consolidate dev info and ensure that relevant and updated info is being posted back to back as opposed to conversation branching out and info being buried.

DawnAskham Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 (edited) Feedback to take as you will... IMO waiting to announce a time-limited upcoming event the day before the event starts is just one of many reasons players consider Bioware's communication to be poor. The fact there are posts on external non-Bioware sites with details while Bioware will not confirm on their own site just helps illustrate how poor. Keep live streams for big upcoming changes like 7.3, that makes total sense. But come on, Bioware can do better with stuff like the May the 4th event that's announced around the web, just not on Bioware's own site.

It's never been that useful for giving feedback, and their twitter has long been a better source for news, but as you say, seeing starwars.com providing info about the game that the devs won't confirm on their own site is a new low, Raffid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then they went back to no advance notification, announcing sales the day before, or the day of, or a few times official announcements have not even come until after the sale started. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthVespid Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 So the rest of the player base just gets screwed? Any word on when we (those of us not fortunate enough to log in during BW ooopsie time) will get a chance to earn/receive it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
