    I feel for WRG, having a delay like this has to be even more frustrating for them than it is for us.

    And if they need to scramble to replace him, that means re-writes, which means fresh translations. I don't envy their producers.

    Less than a day and a half before the Pack is supposed to go live. They might want to consider not waiting until the literal last minute to make a change if they cannot get the art approval today.

    100% agree with this. In the first post, Shan mentioned that the approval process changed and that they're working toward "smoothing out" the process. That verbiage tells me they're just as frustrated as the players, so something tells me they're taking it seriously. Hopefully it's just a case of a bit of a backlog as they adjust their deadlines for submission - I wouldn't be surprised if we get two flashbacks between megas instead of a flashback and a rerun to let everyone catch up.
  • Shan has the same problem I do. When she takes time away from work, there's no follow through. I don't blame Shan.

    Sometimes, when I return to work after a holiday, I do find myself wondering whether it would have been easier to have not taken the time off at all! :lol:

    Data is not in the pack. The pack will include Straal who is the event crew for this week. Data is the rank reward this week and will be event crew and in the pack next week.

    But at some point between now and Thursday players do need to get stats and art for the character we're supposed to be competing for.

    Sorry, but that‘s their job, not ours.

    It may be, but as a developer myself, I don't envy them, and unfortunately this is when issue happen too. Having to rush a change in, etc. I'm sure they are already working on a swap just in case.

    I still get mixed up on that. I forget the Legendary is for the next week. Yeah, that does give them the extra day until the Event actually starts. Well, they can still start the Event with that slot being blank, I guess.

    Work on a replacement probably was started when the Artwork approval hit a snag.

    Right?

    I still think two variants of the same crew in the works at the same time is what happened with Adira. They probably try to limit the number of variants they have going at once just to keep mistakes from happening.

    They were under contract that Towelie Adira could not be the first Adira in game. And then someone approved releasing her first. it was explained when it happened.

    Maybe they're taking their time so they can reveal a two star TNG Season One, Lt (jg) Worf (command track) 🙏

    I remember that, but, to have had the alternate art available to be released, they had to be working on both at the same time. Same as I expect both Nemesis and Professor Data were in the pipeline at the same time.

    Thats what we do when we hit a snag and have a deadline so I would hope so.

    We apologize for the delay. Tomorrow we will be deploying a server, announcing the event, and releasing a new milestone to “The Daystrom Award” collection (innovator trait)! Due to complications with art approval, we have replaced Professor Data with Kal'Hyah Sisko. Thank you for your patience. LLAP.

    Thanks for the update. Any chance we can get a preview of sisko's traits and stats since the event isn't going live in game until tomorrow?

    If Sisko’s stats are great I won’t mind the switch but if his stats are not at the least good top 50 voyager I am going to be really frustrated and disappointed.

    Wonder what the problem with Data was.

    My point is swapping characters takes a lot of time. We know they've done it before so they probably have a process for it, but they probably want things to settle before they message out so there's little risk of things changing a second time.

  • So can we apply for a refund on merits if we have been thawing out datas?
  • This Sisko1This Sisko1 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Well that data would have been used for the skirmish next week so I hope you didn't pull out more than one. Or even just use Q on the ship for points.
  • good point! my bad

    Except we don't know Data's stats either. But I agree with you overall. I really hope Straal is a sign of better crew this mega.

    I don't recognize this version of The Sisko. Anyone know where the descriptor comes from? That would let us make some reasonable predictions.

    Data would be bonus for the Skirmish so no reason to thaw multiple Data’s. Use Q.
  • Will we bet getting Data anytime in the future or is he off the table completely?

    Going with the theme, some version of this is my prediction

    I hope we get him in the future, he's one of my favorite Data's - even if he does look like a bloody skunk.
