hey Tiggs,
why not post something like:
"We are looking into ways to make Armorsmithing more challenging and more fun (not to mention more tactical) as it was before, but havent decided anything yet"

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, as for the Combat Upgrade i understand its still on Test Center so once again i extend a great THANK YOU for all your hard work in trying to keep SWG alive!
Thanks!

Thanks for the info Tiggs, but would it hurt for us to hear anything about our issues?
The devs working on combat upgrade can either hit the forums and respond all day to your questions or work on CU. I am sure we are all in agreement with having them bang away at issues and bugs with CU rather then post all day.

So Tiggs where is the break down? You and TH not relaying the AS concerns or Blix just not giving a damn casue he used to be an AS and thinks he knows what is more fun than all the other AS combine? Seem like he's thinking the former? And WHY do you need an AS corr? Armor hardly mitigates any damage now so you all have made it pretty much useless so you have also make the Correspondant spot useless.

I'll just repost what I said in another thread ...
It is positively imperative that we have a new correspondent within 24 hours. For good or ill, it was SOE's decision to remove our current mouthpiece to the devs. Should they wish to maintain any semblance of good will (and judging by the state of not only the AS boards but virtually every other board I've read, they are losing it rapidly), they need to:
- Communicate
- Communicate
- Communicate
- Communicate
- Communicate
- Appoint a new correspondent to summarize issues, brief developers, and solicit community feedback
- Take the feedback
- Act on it
- Communicate
- Communicate
- Communicate
- Communicate
- Communicate
It seemed that there were going to be very positive steps forward when Callandryl was brought in, but he lasted a scance few weeks. Tyrant's departure (under shady circumstances) has only made things worse. The fact of the matter is that for every two steps forward the current SWG Development team makes in communicating with its customers (who actually know the game better and have a much more comprehensive vision of what the game should be), they seemingly take five steps back.
We're three weeks away from the putative release of the CURB and RotW. Curiously, this is also very close to Episode III's release ... odd how Lucas Arts handles that. The lack of developer-customer communication on the issues arising from the CURB, which will make or break this game, is appalling.
There are multiple, active members here on this forum that would likely serve well as a new correspondent. Blixtev has shown a willingness to adjust things based on the data and feedback we provide -- all hope is not necessarily lost.
SOE essentially has one chance to turn these lemons into lemonade. The clock is ticking.

Our correspondent has brought major issuesto the dev teamabout our profession. These issues have not even been acknowleged by anyone in the dev team. In fact out of the 100 or so questions in the dev chat on stratics not one of these issues were addressed.
Our correspondent may be a volunteer employee but he felt that he had a duty to the playing community. I would like to say thatwe armorsmiths are some of the most respected and intellegent players in the community. It is very unfortunate that we had to resort to "spam private messages to the devs." But push us on our backs enough and we felt we had to do what had to be done to save our profession.

So what exactly did he do wrong?
Are you saying you have not ignored him?
Are you saying he didn't represent t the AS community?
Can you say something besides giving us a written rule?
Why did you not give him blue glowy status?
Why is it that the people who are supposed to be listening to us about the CU..are basically ignoring the vast majority of the community?
Why is there a "We can do no wrong" attitude with the DEV's in regards to the CU?
