I am getting so sick of having JtL crap shoved down my throat...

To me, this is another example of the community being lied to.

"After JtL, it's full speed ahead on the combat upgrade" or whatever... Yeah, right.

More like "After Jtl, it's even more JtL! If we force-feed you enough crap on JtL, you'll forget just how broken the core game is, and we won't have to even think of doing a combat upgrade!"

***Valcyn - Lt. Colonel Ryubushi [ONE] of the Empire (the Tank Maniac); Career Master Commando, Master Carbineer, and extremely Anti-NGE.
***Eclipse - Ryushidosha, freelancer; Scaley Master Carbineer, ranger, merc for hire, and general sociopath...that despises the NGE.
***StarSider - Ja'ahn Woo [PYRO] of the Alliance - The Galaxy's first Jawa commando/carbineer...who also hates the NGE.

People like me...because I force them to...with violence!

I couldn't agree more with the pointlessness of the the November 12 FF. I was even able to get third posting in response to Tiggs FF communication. Best pole position I have had so far.

I don't have any problem with the graphics in this game...they are very impressive and even stunning. The graphics of the game system are great, and SOE deserves a LOT of praise about that.

The underlying mechanics, calculations, and fun factor DESIGNED into the game are the current problem. That's why communicating with the player/payer base about how the MECHANICS of the game are going to be repaired in the Combat Revamp/Upgrade/Balance (RUB) is critical.

But Garvin warned us. We knew a pointless FF was coming. Now we have it.

This isn't a worthless FF to those of us who like JTL.

I think a lot of the "worthless" sentiments are coming over the frustration of so much open attention being paid to JTL still when the upgrade is suppose to be the main focus right now. There IS a ton of attention currently being paid to the Combat Upgrade, but it's all behind closed doors currently...a fact that doesn't sit well with many understandably...

In my opinion, it's nice to get JTL features...but I feel like we've been over-dosed on JTL as of recent...It would be nice if there was a Combat Upgrade Friday Feature posted as a break...

Imagine it from the otherside of the fence...imagine if for 2 months every Friday Feature was specifically Commando related...Sure it would be worth a lot to Commandos, but how would other's feel? Having the focusweek after week on the same area of the game excludes those who don't desire to play that area or would prefer to hear about something else...to make these Friday features more community friendly they should mix it up a bit...but from a marketing standpoint, it does make sense business wise to keep pushing your new product...

If the public could see behind the closed doors and see all the Combat Upgrade chatter going on, they wouldn't pay so much attention to the Friday Features, but when that's all you have, you tend to get a bit bitter when it appears the same week after week...

Just my 2 cents on the subject...

Nail, meet hammer...

Just to expound on what you have said here, Garvin...

The feeling I get (and have, to be honest), is because we haven't seen ANYTHING about the CU with the exception of ONE post by TH in..........wow, I cant recall the last time a post was made about the CB...CR...CU...whatever it is...honestly.

"What we have here isa failure to communicate!" as the movie quote goes...

The impression to the vast majority is that NOTHING is being done. There is no information about the progress. There is no information (updated) about a timeline. The impression is that its "all JTL all the time". The word was "after JTL, it will be nothing but CU - we promise"...Thats fine and dandy as long as you keep your word about it (not you, Garvin,specifically - I mean the powers that be i.e. - TH)...

I think the best friday feature SOE could ever do is post the damn revamp docs with a huge, 56 size font, BOLD disclaimer that says THIS IS NOT GUARANTEED TO BE WHAT ENDS UP IN THE GAME (but we're cool enough to give you a heads up).

'Foolish boy. Don't you know anything about Fantasia? It's the world of human fantasy. Every part, every creature of it, is a piece of the dreams and hopes of mankind. Therefor, it has no boundaries.'
'But why is Fantasia dying then?'
'Because people have begun to loose their hopes and forget their dreams. So the nothing grows stronger. It's the emptiness that's left. It's like a despair, destroying this world. And I have been trying to help it.'
'But why?'
'Because people who have no hopes are easy to control. And whoever has control has the power'

Ok, why the **** are you all so bloody whiny today? Seriously, whats up? Sure the friday feature is about JTL, but its not the only update we have had this week. A new mini-publish that address a range of issues just hit test center, and we got info the loot revamp recently also. Just because something doesn't come in a shiny wrapper that says friday feature doesn't mean its unimportant. On top of that you know things are afoot in the combat upgrade, or else you would hear a bunch of complaining and moaning from us testers.

For people who don't like the tone of this message, tough poo poo. I expect the level of this community to maintain a standard better than that of other SWG boards, and it seems to be on the verge of declining into an abyss of pointless whining and flaming. If you don't like the content of a post, don't respond. If you are frustrated by a lack of information, walk away from the forums.

You (meaning all of us) have to accept that in all likelyhood you won't hear much about the combat balance until after alpha for the simple reason that there will likekly be massive uphevals between when testing starts and when they feel things are sufficiently set in stone that they can present them to the community at large and support their arguments for various changes. If this really doesn't sit well with you, I can rattle off a number of games that can keep you distracted while you wait.

I hope you aren't holding your breath, otherwise we will need a new Sandbox tester.

Whining is bad...

But venting over your frustration level isn't techically whining and isn't a bad thing...Sometimes we all need to vent (some more then others)...Thats why I don't ever discourage it unless it's Flame-Filled....

Hellshot, remember you are privy to a lot more info then those outside the CU forum...I know if I was in there place, not knowing what we know, I'd be fairly frustrated at this point...TH's post was great, but it only briefly touched on some of the chages...it was barely the tip of the iceberg...it gave just enough to taste a bit of the direction, but the high was over way to fast...

I don't see posts like are contained in here as whining or anything unbecoming of a Commando...I see many Commandos passionate about wanting change...they know the answers are out there, they just want a peak at those answers...
