Since this seems like the "in" forum to post on atm about the lack of communication with the CU....
The Combat Upgrade will go live in early may. If the Beta goes very very bad, and has tons of bugs... the CU will go live in early may... why you ask? Why would SOE push a broken, buggy, unbalanced publsih to live early? simple.... The new Expansion (which is nothing more then a glorified publish) and Ep III are both coming out in early may....
The Devs are using the new combat system as a selling point for the new expansion... well they have to because other then 1 planet... the new expansion is weaker then most publishes...
So all in all... doesnt matter if its broke... pushing it live in early may = $$$$$$$
and that is all SOE cares about... not what we think, not what the Core's think... not if its ready... they only care about making money.

It wont help. The lift we got from the DVD release and hype, and the JTL expansion, all fizzled. I'm telling you folks, the only way to save SWG from this extreme mismanagement is to cancel your accounts and stay cancelled until SOE is fired by LucasArts, or SOE caves in and announces some radical reform and change in leadership. Stay cancelled until it happens, it wont be long... the game is going downhill for some time under SOE's mismanagement.

Nah they are just turning it into EQ2 so it is something easy to code/fix and stuff, they are also turning the economical part of the game into EQ2, which is why most crafting professions are getting made. Think about it. In EQ2 you have steel, not steel with this stats and steel with this stats, its plain old steel. This will KILL the economy as we know it. Most of our resources people spent 100CPU or more to get the best will be a waste of money, everything we have learned about the game so far will be changed.

It's been on the downslide for some time. SOE has been in crisis mode. They just split the community again by introducing NEW SWG, rather than doing the smart thing by rallying broad support from the community by enhancing the existing game. What fools to split the playerbase and support yet again. I can cite mismanagement and poor leadership and communication examples as long as my arm. It's really the lowest of lows in project management, and no venture can continue to suffer such inept leadership forever. We've been on fire for some time, and they keep throwing on more fuel to the fire instead of putting it out.

And yet it saddens me to know there are bunch of dedicated designers, artists working on SWG, passionate players probably even more than us, sometimes who started as SWG players then got the chance to have their dream come true, yet their voice is buried under the orders of producers and investors more concerned about getting an expansion on time to take advantage of EP3 movie hype effect rather than paying closer attention to what's being asked for and fine tune things... who EVER complained about armor crafting having more than one experimentation line ? who EVER complained about the monochrome icons ? etc.

They'll be better off working with a new successful team after these bum leaders are fired. Who would want to work at SOE under these conditions and horrible leadership? I can't imagine what it must be like for these dedicated designers etc.
Best thing we can do is get the bosses fired. Yes it puts the whole game at risk if we let it die by our cancelling accounts, but its no good under these fool's leadership.
I've been in these kinds of companies before, and there is a likely chance that the new bosses will sort through who was doing what, who was part of the problem and who stays and who goes. I'd prefer it go to another company altogether, and even then they might interview and hire some of the good creative peeps from the SOE team.
