Just curious, have you seen them yet?

I already cancelled my accounts (but prepaid till march).

I will not be playing JtL after Beta.

Only thing that may keep me interested are these combat revamp docs, do we have an ETA? A week, month year?

I have seen their main versions...from rough draft at the Summit, to reviewing the Public Versions that should be ready to roll out at anytime...

I stated this in another thread, but I have a theory as to why we haven't seen them yet and when we may just see them posted publically...And I don't think it's the Devs fault...

SOE has 2 things currently very much on the mind of the average SWG player...JTL and the Revamp...Right now (and this is my guess), the marketing department and the game Producers want the current player (and future players) to be focusing their attention on JTL and not the Revamp...They don't want mixed messages...And thus, they are holding off releasing theDocs or even really talking about them until JTL releases...

I came to this conclusion because we haven't even seen a public post from TH or anyone regarding what the hold up is...only lots of JTL info (Friday Features, etc)...If feels to me like the Devs aren't even currently allowed to talk about the Revamp and TH has told us in the Correspondent forum repeatedly that once JTL launches, the Revamp is the next big thing on their schedule...

Think about it this way...We all know that the majority of current Combat Player in game want to see the Combat Revamp docs ASAP...And once they are posted, what do you think people will want to talk about, JTL or Revamp? I'm guessing that, once the Docs are released, JTL chatter will get buried by a deluge of Revamp discussion...I bet that's a thought that would scare a Marketing team and the Producers...imagine releasing an Expansion where 99.9% of the hype in and out of game currently was not about the expansion...and thus, they might have put a gag order on the Devs to make them discuss JTL only at this time...

The reason I think the Devs aren't responsible is because TH and the gang have worked VERY hard on the Revamp info...and it should be fairly set to go out (there are still a bit of reviewing going on), but something is causing them to hold back...and since they keep telling us over and over that nothing has changed, I can only guess that the only thing holding them back must be JTL...

Or they want us to all go out and buy JTL before everyone sees the "docs" and decided to quit if they are not up to expectations. If they relesed the docs and it was a big flop many of the on the fence players would give up on SWG and not even go for JTL. But if they release JTL before the docs, more people are gonna run out and get the expansion while waiting to see what happens. SOE wants a to cover their behinds just incase JTL and the docs flop.
