Upcoming Events and Sales

Althea Biermont

I'm curious why DB can't announce all of the upcoming events, re-runs and sales months in advance? They do so on their other game, Game of Thrones Ascent. Why can't they do that for STT? "Tales" are the "Events" in GOTA

For example, here is the event list for GOTA through October

Do you believe that they'd make more money from GOTA players if they withheld this information like they do on Timelines? Or is the other game less monetized with regards to having the right crew levelled and available?

Speckles the Destroyer of Worlds

I think it is more of a matter of "we do it this way because we've always done it this way, and it is easier to keep doing it than try to change now".

Transparency and communication between the devs and players has always been a struggle in Timelines.

I stopped playing it about a year ago, but it was a very monetized game up until I left.

I agree and it is decent to make announce in advance let's say even for a month. All major games do this.
