Hoth SB

Once again, congratulations are in order. The last I checked, we ranked 73rd on the leaderboards, which, as you know, kept our Major Influence on Hoth intact. Well done everyone! Very impressive. We own Hoth. 

Once again, however, the ultimate battle was lost. We'll have to gear up to defend our influence on Hoth for the next IB, which should have a 1 hour trigger. I've yet to hear official word back from Kabam about additional changes to the SB/IB schedule, but when -- that is, if -- I do, I'll post immediately.

Good hunting!

That Moment When You Try To Play True Melee In Uprising

Brought to you by Han Solo's alter ego:

If you've ever tried to play just melee in Uprising, then you know you're the dude in black.

Knights of Bail

While lightsabers and Jedi skills are cool, we've plenty of members who not only embody their own cool, but crush the Uprising every day, too. So, I put together a quick montage. More to follow, I'm sure!

Left to Right: Neph, Mara, Ioz, Budder, Jit, Red, Kira

Jedi Knights of Bail

While waiting for a smart reply from Kabam about the apparently revised IB schedule, I thought it time to have a little fun with the "cool factor" of Uprising. Rather than wait around for Kabam to do something interesting, I thought I'd build upon not only what they've done, but also what our members have accomplished. So, say hello to the ever evolving Jedi Knights of Bail:

Alpha, Winter, and Nura

Zoj and Mike

Pretty cool, no?

Anoat IB Update 2

Wow. I'm flabbergasted.

I just checked the original complaint thread about the Anoat IB timer change, posted by member Ellaina77. Not only did the Suggestions & Feedback thread disappear -- my assumption is that Kabam deleted it -- but, additionally, the repeated thread in General Discussion was closed down. That much I knew. However, look at the bottom of the original post:

That's right. The Kabam moderator also edited  the original post.

Now, I understand that it is entirely within Kabam's rights, in accordance with TOS policy, to behave in this manner. But this smacks of fascism, pure and simple.

Again, stay tuned.

Anoat IB Update

As I wrote in my previous post, I sent in a ticket about the latest IB on Anoat. Kabam's response has me scratching my head:

It's interesting that Samantha directed me to Suggestions & Feedback, since there was already a thread started by another player. Sounds great, right? Unfortunately, I don't say "was" lightly. Kabam deleted the S&F thread and closed  a repeated thread in General Discussion. This behavior is worrisome, to say the least.  

Here's my reply to Samantha:

If Kabam bothers to send me the appropriate information, I'll then surely let you know. Stay tuned. This may get absurdly interesting. 

Anoat IB

Yes, for those of you who noticed, there was an IB on Anoat today at 1pm EST, which triggered an hour earlier. And, yes, you're right. This IB was not supposed to have a 1 hour trigger.  Which means that practically none of our crew was online to compete.

My supposition at this time is that we've lost Major Influence on Anoat due to Kabam's ineptitude when it comes to communicating with their player base. They posted no information about a change to the SB/IB schedule in advance, or else I would have reposted it here.

I found out about this IB accidentally. I simply signed on to run my Daily Op. I'd already sent out crew because, well, the trigger was supposed to be 6-7 hours. Needless to say, I was upset. And I sent the following ticket to Kabam.

If Kabam replies with anything other than a premeditated response, then I'll surely let all of you know. For now, don't get disheartened. I suspect Kabam did this on purpose to shift player attention away from Hoth and towards Anoat instead. In theory, we should have the opportunity to earn Major Influence again on Anoat in the fairly near future.
