After my initial shock and disappointment, I realized there is nothing that can be done hereexcept wait.I have waited this long, so what is a few more months As for the interim fixes that TH referred to, I have faiththatthis community of carbineers and it's correspondent will see that our most pressing issues are correctly addressed.

I had fully intended to wait out past JTLS... if that is screwed up, I won't be able to stand it. But like a good SW fanboy, I'll be too busy drooling over it to notice something wrong for at least two months. And then I'll have to pop someone in the head with my CDEF Carbine... and watch it disinetegrate after the shock of being used since about July 17th last year

Your numbers are a lot less agressive than mine... I had figured that the active subscribers ramped up to 400k and leveled out there after 6months. The number I figured was 84mil.gross from subscriptions and box sales. Like most companys, they are interested in sales, because thats a good number to show off to the PHB who says "Wow, 50k new subscriptions, up from last year, thats great!" But fails to realize that they have had 600k unique subs they could have kepts if they had spent more time on other things... but I digress... this is the carbineer forum, not the Hosoke Philosphy (or the Hosoke Spelling Bee) forum

Well what you fail to realize is that about 75% of people have quit this game.....so your numbers are way too high. And my point of being conservative still shows millions of dollars for development that never happened.

Honestly, if we were still in BETA, we would be crying to NOT send this to Gold.....especially when they are changing the ENTIRE combat system, which is stupid IMO as the current combat model would work if they just fixed it.

In Thunderheart's post, he said that he would be working directly with community correspondants to fix existing issues. The way I interperate this is that it's a "mini-combat balance".

Now here's my question for you: Do you think that most of the suggestions (not just from the Carbineer Community) will go through?

I don't know.

The Dev priority is clearly Jedi then JTL. I cannot tell how much time they are going to give us. I see one of3 thing happening: either they will fix bugs and imbalances (like fix the issues I recommended), they will addcharge systems (like change the speed equation, HAM system, armor, etc) or a bit of both. Which of those depends on how much time they were willing to devote to this revamp. One requires changes to code or spreadsheets and the other requires all new coding and lots of testing. Only time will tell how much is done.

There is some stuff going on in the backrooms that has great potential for great progress. At this point I cannot say anything more than I just said. If you follow TH's threads you might be able to figure out what is going on.
