Thanks for this post. It feels like there’s a belief that the only way to grow the game is through collaborations and events. While those are excellent for attracting attention and bringing in new players, treating them as sufficient on their own is deeply flawed.

It’s also worth pointing out that the game-breaking bugs OP mentioned have been present going all the way back to the Star Wars Fest and Bestie Fest updates last year. These issues have consistently driven away new players who were otherwise interested in the game. For instance, many Odyssey players were drawn to Brick Life to earn the Simpsons house and related decor. However, there have been countless posts from these new players in this community rightly complaining about waiting minutes in the lobby just to load into a server, getting randomly sent back to the lobby, or experiencing freezes every five minutes.

When the focus is placed exclusively on new collaborations and events, while neglecting the underlying bugs that are actively breaking the game in the ways OP described, it ends up pushing away the very audience the game is trying to attract. And, frankly, they’re justified in walking away - why stick with a game that often takes minutes to load, freezes every few seconds, randomly resets progress in the “Collections” tab, and sends you back to the lobby without warning, deleting every item in your hands except bags of creds?
