Seelvir Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 The thread title is my question. Am I missing something? Some of the things I really wanted to unlock at 50% cost for my legacy are ... naturally ... not on sale. A bug? EA moneygrab? Get you to unlock a bunch of things and then ... HAH! Sorry! Not that one! But ... oooo ... you've unlocked so many things today ... oooo ... you WANT to unlock this thing at full price ... ahahahahaa all the way to the bank.

kodrac Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 ONE WEEK ONLY: Tuesday, November 21 - Tuesday, November 28 – Get 50% Off All Collections Purchase a wide variety of Collections Account Unlocks at 50% off and enjoy the ability for all characters on your account to claim copies of items you’ve purchased in the Cartel Market! It certainly is misleading. In one sentence it says 50% off all collections. And the next sentence it says a wide variety at 50% off. Who wants to take bets they edit out the All in the first sentence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estelindis Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Any not discounted are probably bugged. I'd say report any anomalies you see! Maybe post them all in this thread to consolidate the info and keep it visible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrusramsey Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Only ones I've encountered were the Senya Holo Trainer, Celebration Jawa and Remote Control Ebon Hawk, which I believe were all from an anniversary vendor, so I just figured that was intended.. for some reason. Have not run into others that weren't discounted myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JattaGin Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 The last time they had such a big 50% unlock discount, there were also several items without a discount. Back then, I was quite sure they just have a very messy database and missed some items. This time, I am quite sure they they just have a very messy database and missed some items.

You only make it worse for the studio with this sloppiness as now you are going to have all kinds of tickets opened demanding a refund because you changed the price after a sale was made....... on a sale event you claimed was for all items. This problem happens every time the studio does a sale on unlocks. It's absurd how bad the studio QA is for simple things like this. And this sloppiness just gives the players more ammunition to claim the studio is dishonest, or predatory, or <insert favorite accusation against the studio here>.

Estelindis Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) now you are going to have all kinds of tickets opened demanding a refund because you changed the price after a sale was made....... on a sale event you claimed was for all items. Sure, anyone who bought at full price would be entitled to submit a ticket and get a refund. But the more rational course of action would be to mention the bug, wait for it to get fixed, and then buy at the correct price. After I saw the item I wanted mentioned as bugged, I waited and it did get fixed. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Things fall through the cracks sometimes; it's normal.

Well, as I mentioned a bunch of comments ago, I'd assumed that the ones I encountered were meant to not be on sale, and so I got one for 400 instead of 200 because I didn't realize it was a bug. Having said that, I think sending a ticket over 200 coins feels like too much work for the possible gain, so I will just shrug and move on.

This is a normal thing to happen for almost any company. Things get missed for various reasons. The important thing is that they listened and took quick action to correct the oversights.

The important thing is that they listened and took quick action to correct the oversights. I agree with you that things like this do happen. Humans are involved and humans excel at making mistakes as much as they excel at being clever. It is however NOT "normal" to keep repeating the same basic QA mistakes every single time you run a Collections unlock sale. Some of the items missed for discount in 2017......... also were not discounted in the 2016 sale either. That's just a lack of care and attention to detail on the same thing.....over and over again. Project Management 101: mistakes happen....... HOWEVER ----> learn from your mistakes and take steps to not repeat them again. IMO, the Austin team lacks any sense of QA discipline as a professional practice and because of this.... keep making the same mistakes over and over gain. And I'm not talking about strategic mistakes in direction of the state of the game here... I am talking about basic day to day nuts and bolts coding aspects that any game studio should really have a handle on.... especially as this is the 3rd or 4th year of Collections sales now.. and this problem comes up every single freaking time. While I agree it is a small issue if you look at it in isolation..... if you look at it in context..... every time they have a Collections sale, some percentage of the items will fail to list at the discount and it can and will include repeat mistakes in discounting from prior years. And while I see the logic in Eric responding to this thread and also asking for players to list items missing a discount..... I find it absurd that the QA driving element for addressing this has been declared to be ---> "please list anything you find not on discount, the developers will be checking this thread to get said information so they can work on fixing it". Really? {Would you like the players to deliver donuts to the studio too... because the developers get hungry??} Not to mention.. Erics post comes in just hours before the studio leaves for the long holiday weekend. By the time they get back... the sale will be over... so I really do not see them fixing the items lacking discount unless they had it on a fix list by early this afternoon.
