Oh, and kelano, if you don't have something worth saying, don't say it !!!!


Please refer your bleatings to the forum "bleaters and flamers respite". Thankyou


Nice one garvin, good to see the cogs are still in motion for commando profession.







Sorry Max I didn't know there was a rule against just non-flaming, non-attacking posts. I guess i need to reread the rules in the forums. Oh wait, there is no rule that says i couldn't write what i wrote.


Ease up Max before you blow a fuse. it is good sometimes to just make a stupid comment even if it serves no purpose at all exempt to entertain the writer. If i ever flame or be hatefull to some one, then i will expect a comment on that. Oh, and next time, please try to spell my name correctly.


Kalano


p.s. Hey Garvin, your doing a bang up job. now beat the answers out of them devs.





I don't think anyone was flaming anyone here...it was a mistake of mis-interpretation...I think Max read yoru signature and thought it was something you posted in response to this post (not just your everyday signature)...

As mentioned in another forum (in a GCW thread), TH will be making an important post some time today or tomorrow regarding the Status of the Combat Balance...Stay tuned and keep an eye out...and look for my response posted in our forum shortly afterwards...I can't say anything more (not alloweD)and I hate to leave you all hanging, but just wanted to make sure you all keep up on the CB Information, including when to expect information to be posted that effects the CB...


UPDATE...TH made the announcement I was refering too...the Delay of the CB to going live after the release of JTL in late October...

Let me guess:


"After much deliberation, we have decided to institute the combat balance before JTL."


This is very similar to previous releases that have caused huge backlashes from the community:



  • Crafting change pulled after 1 day on live

  • CMs nerfed less 2 weeks after Jedi patch even though the DEVs stated "they are working as designed."

  • BH skill points cut less than 1 week after patch 9 as no real BH could kill them.

  • Accuarcy "randomization" not making it to live

Unless the announcment is "all current SWG subscribers will be a FREE copy of JTL," or "all current SWG subscribers will have to pay NO monthly fees until JTL," I am still not renewing my accounts. Even if they do say everyone will get their Jedi slot with patch 10 or that the CB will happen in patch 10, I still don't have any faith that it will be done when they say it will.

"List?..... Where is this "list" you speak of. Writing something on toilet paper and then wiping your ass with that same paper doesn't constitute as a list." from BH forums in regards to combat balance list of issues.

  • The Combat Balance has been again delayed to not going live until after JTL does (which will happen some time near the end of October)...

    • Because of this delay, TH has put more emphasis on Publish 10 for Vital Correspondent Fixes which should include some or all of our Top 5 issues being addressed. Publish 10 is tentatively scheduled to go live near the end of August.

  • Be realistic. JTL ships 10/26/04. The patch before thanksgiving would be the very earliest we will see a combat rebalance. They are going to be firefighting JTL bugs first two months, I doubt we will get a combat balance until a patch right before Christmas or one after new years so sony doesn't have to pay overtime over the holidays. They are notorious for shutting down on holidays. Also how much of swg team will be sharing time with Everquest 2 dev team?

    I'm 99.5% sure that SWG and EQ2 are being worked on by completely seperate teams, so I wouldn't worry about that too much.


    What I expect to see in the upcoming months is:


    • Temporary/Preliminary changes to combat professions between now and December, occuring some time in early fall during the September-October timeframe.

    • Octoberand November primarily spent meshing the ground game to space..

    • Combat Balance Publish coming out with/around the smuggler/SL revamp as a Christmas patch

    • Possible movement to early 2005 as latest publish date for CB

    Ouch, what happened to the summit? I noticed that the original post was deleted. Does todayspending THpost, have anything to do with it?









    GI: What sort of role will the Summit play in allowing some concerned gamers to voice their opinions on Galaxies?


    Blackman: We haven’t announced a date on that yet.

    Typical. CB, an extremely important thing, is being pushed back for something that most people voted against in favor of a rebalance!!! Sure, JTL will kick ass, but until the kicking ass on the ground is fixed, whats the point?

    Sorry if this has been answered somewhere else, but: Will there be a similar setup on the sandbox as on TestCenter2? Bow down to the blue frog idol and you shall receive the character of your choosing! Like that?

    That's what I'm hoping...from the sound of things...eventually TC2 will be wiped and become the Sandbox...
