I once played Everquest in my apartment while firefighters battled a two alarm fire in the hallway outside my door, and never even realized it was going on until they kicked my door in and started screaming at me,I wonder if I have the kind of dedication it takes to work in the industry.ah well suppose I need to go to college first


Glad to have you with us Thunderheart

>>>My original plan was to COMPLETELY seperate myself from any Jedi information because I wanted to be able to maintain my empathy with you guys on the whole Jedi thing, but after I suggested it, they said that wasn't gonna happen (because I need to know so that I can effectively talk about the issues) and then he just rattled off "the secret forumula"!


...but thats all I can tell you...


I was really surprised at the answer though!<<<


You do Realise there's probably already 5 posts on the jedi forum trying to guess the "secret forMula" from extrapolating on your quote, right?


Just one question: Is it humanly POSSIBLE to open an FS slot, playing 3-5 hours a day on average for say... 6 months?

Welcome TH !

Heading here from other MMORPGs I was always pleased with how much the devs post in the forums. I found this quite unusual.
Seeing your counter I believe we aren't enough players - we're only about 300k and you're THE ONE

Ok, welcome to you. Perhaps your new position can make a difference to some of your frustrated players who thought most of this stuff would be worked out a month or so ago. We continue to be patient and search for any glimmer of hope. Unfortunately the degradation in response times and comments added to tickets rather than the personal approach we got from CSR's in the first month of SWG is not helping any.


I however am brightened by your presence and the praise our fellow gamers have for your past with SWG.


I tried to surmise in an earlier post under SWG discussion the worst 72 hours or so of my history in ANY MMORPG......I did forget an instance where I healed my pets all the way back up to 6500HAM using a ton of stims and time, then hopped a shuttle, arrived and they were all back at 50% health. Other questions I have tried to have answered have drawn blanks from everyone associated with your gaming staff. Perhaps you can help a bit from what you know...I will take anything at this point


I worked very hard to get to mastery of my class. I made it through the nerfs going on when my profession wasnt even working right. I was able to hunt animals, I loved the AI, loved the uniqueness among them. To me, that seperated SWG from the other games out there. As of this most recent update, these creatures are now community like, if we target one they all attack us. I have even been attacked when hitting a seperate camp! I have seen other posters who have travelled to EVERY planet in the game, and have found nothing to hunt without a huge group, or maybe their whole PA. There are some who can only play at offtimes due to RL, we may not be able to get groups at 4am. But it is the only time we can play. One of the things that attracted me to SWG was a saying that was brought up throughout it's development, The casual gamer will have every opportunity that the die-hard will in this universe. As of this patch if that is what was intended. its definitely not what happened. I was able to hunt Fambaas, and Bolle Bols on my home planet of Naboo. Then after the update, with NO warning, I hit a Fambaa and 8 of em come at me. I tried Bolle Bols too, and at my current experience rank these are the best creatures to work on my skills xp wise. They all came at me, they attacked like animals or robots if you will from every other MMORPG. Gone was their uniqueness and gone was my ability to hunt anywhere, never mind on my home planet. Players have travelled all over and found all animal behavior now the same (they remind me of maulers now LOL) and now the casual gamer has nowhere to hunt. We know missions are bugged and being worked on but at least we had somewhere to get xps. If this was intended then we should have been warned, we should have been told in the notes on the update. I am hoping this is some sort of nightmare bug not working as intended. That maybe some of the animals were meant to be community minded, but not everything we have to hunt on a given planet. They are all the same now.


I worked very hard to get my faction where it is, like a lot of people. Imagine my surprise with max 5k faction when I logged in and these beings were red on my radar as in aggro! I hit Control C, checked my faction, 5,000 Trade Fed, 5,000 Gungan. I was slaughtered by Gungans and Trade Feds yet I had max faction! Once again checked the patch notes and nowhere was there a warning of any sort. I have brought this up in game, on the forums, as well as the community AI issue and have no response at all. Noone knows what to say.


Anxiously Awaiting anyone's help,


Phantom of Lowca/Kat of Tarquinas

Hi TH. I read that you play (played) on Chilastra and play as a brawler. Can you give us more info? Do you play as ThunderHeart? Are you imperial / rebel / neutral? Done any themeparks? what were/are your hangouts? etc...


I'd love to group and hunt when you get back on.

I wonder if I have the kind of dedication it takes to work in the industry.



If you are wondering, then keep trying harder


Thought preceeds action until action becomes instinct. You will know when success becomes instinct.





anyways rock ondude



rock on! 8) <---(My "cool" smiley until i get my little guy fixed...)







Much more posting from Dev's on boards.



Well, everyone here is working unbelievable hard, but there WILL be more dev posting...by me


(thats what Im here for!)








Btw, I was wondering what happened to your site, do you think you'll bring it up again?



Hard to say. *I* wont be bringing it back up again, but there has been talk of making it part of the official site. Dont quote me of course because even if it is something the team wants to do, its a VERY low priority.


All the top priorities are taking care of the game itself. I know you guys can't see whats going on, but everyone here on this side is very dedicated and working very hard.








"Who you callin deficient?"



Great episode! I liked when he ran into the chamer of light wearing that goofy outfit










seems getting you hired was the final nudge needed for me to re-subscribe.







Im very glad to hear that. Not only because I believe this is the best MMO ever, but because this is the coolest community and we need cool people like you to stick around and stay involved!











Thanks a ton for the response hun



Its my pleasure


As soon as I get up to speed with everything, I plan to be VERY VERY connected with everything and everyone so we can really "bind this universe" together 8)







"the secret forumula," eh Thunderheart?



The Force of Course



(hey, is it getting smaller in here?)







*ducks*






*QUACK*







Do they matter less because there's less people playing them?








Nothing matters less, there's just lots to do...





You will probaly never read this




Bet me 8)







Are you actually going to respond to everyone that posts to you on this thread?




Gonna try



Gotta get to work now!


Have a great day and I'll see you later!
