Thread: After reading the post on tomorrows Update, I had enough.. e' finito
The process we've put in place is to go through all the correspondent reports, and prioritize all the issues overall, and tackle things in priority order. To any one profession, this is going to look unacceptable, I'm guessing, but it is the best we can do.
I think a better "process" would be to fix at least onebug per profession, with each major update. That way each person will know that something is being done.

Someday we shall receive a post from soe that will NOT include the word "soon".

Holo since you seem to be following this post closley
Please make sure all resources have been added to every server. Were you aware certain servers were not spawning badly needed resources?
Flurry has no ditanium steel or beryllious copper (and a few others i cant remember off the top of my head).....and we have not had them since release.
Implecations: Master Armorsmiths cannot make thier master armor (composite) Master Weaponsmiths cannot make weapons for many professions...which means those professions are missing out, especially the ones who only get one or two weapon certs in the first place.
I understand rare, but these resources arenon-existant on sevral servers and needs ot be fixed (considering some servers have had these resources from day 1 and get them reguarly) as this effectseveryone on the servers that dont have them.
All I'm asking for is for someone to go into the servers and confirm in a simple one sentance post that these resources are in and set to spawn on the servers which currently have not had them at all since release (no, I don't want you to force spawn them, I just want to make sure that it's working properly.)
Thank you sir.
lol! Boy was THAT off topic.
Raph, can you guys add tetris to the datapad? heh heh
My big issue is not with the Certs.. though that is a pain, but i have a Flamethrower and the damage output on it is godawful. Everything that i could possibly gain decent xp on kicks my butt, and i'm wearing almost a full set of Composite armor.
What is the status of this issue? I'm sure that if i could use the AcidRife that i do have in my inventory (for quite a while i might add) it would be just as bad as the Flamethrower if not worse since my Flamethrower has better stats?
Also i think the launcher pistol patch SUX. I didn't become a commando to use a laucher pistol with special moves not designed for a Commando. And the fact that i get Heavy Weapons EXP using a Pistol is a down right INSULT. Why do i want to spend all my xp time killing stuff with a pistol, i want to gain my heavy weapons xp with HEAVY WEAPONS, i want creatures to catch on fire and run around in circles till they die, i want to throw gernades at stuff and watch it explode, i don't want to shoot stuff with a puny little pistol.
I think if you are going to spend all this time fixing a profession that obviosly wasn't working in the first place.. which really ticks me off, why don't you throw the laucher pistol idea out the windows, and add a couple special moves to the BASE NOVICE COMMANDO and make the resources needed for weapons like FlameThrower and AcidRifles a bit more common. If you put 80% of your DEV force on this for two days, i bet you could accomplish this easy and 1000's of people wouldn't be quiting SWG right now.
Another thing i want to add is how could you not know how screwed up the Commando Profession is right now. Its the only profession that is.. IN MY OPINION, completely UNUSABLE. This should be the #1 PRIORTIY for you guys right now. The only issue i can think of that can top this problem is Server Stability... what else is worse?

Umm, isn't it a Correspondent's job to stick up for their profession to the exclusion of others? With an understanding of the overall picture, of course, but still, it was Gari's job to push for Commando issues to be addressed, so don't blame him for being passionate.
*shrug* My 2 credits . . .
You took those aforementioned lists in beta and did basic fixes for some professions but ran out of time before you could do the basic fixes on the others. You've had these issues in front of you for 2 months, so when are you going to step up to the plate and do the right thing: fix the 4-5 completely and horribly broken professions that you sent live anyway? And don't give me any more sorrow, I read your list about how to deflect complaints and saw that 'showing sorrow' was the #1 recommended strategy. We are tired of sorrow and ready for results. You sent these professions live to your paying customers with profession-killing, known bugs. Now do your job and fix them!

I dont know you, i am not in your profession.
As for you quitting, I am sorry to see anyone leave, but please dont let the door hit you on the way oout.
As I read your post, you seem to have the Fix my proffesion yesterday or quit, well sorry but there are tons of professions with tons of problems, and there are tons of people with lag, connectivity, crash ...
They know there product fairly well, maybe not as much as you in the comando field, but certainly more the you in the other proffesions.
you can be mad, but dont expect your proffesion to be the only one addressed.
As for the 6 month purchase thing, well you got a discount for pre purchasing. that was part of the deal. now you dont like the deal, sorry but your likely to loose on that end. had you prepaid full price for 6 months, you likely would be able to able to get a discount, and I am sure Sony has the wording down right.
i have tons of things in my proffesion i want fixed, I will wait for em. maybe you should too, the game is still fun with the minor issue. and even some of the major ones.
Clueless
Did you know Commandos can only use one weapon effectively? ...and THAT is debatable.
Did you know Commandos were NOT getting any HW exp and therefore no one was gaining beyond novice?
Did you know that a heavy weapon deals less damage then a CDEF?
I bet you will never even see this response...
