Thread: Dev communication... why aren't we here?

Look, we are not trying to nerf your profession to hell. We don't think you are the uber profession. We know that your other weapons need to be made more useful. We know that you would like some answers to your questions.
We have a TON of things on our plate. Publish themes. Dungeons. Major system overhauls. CS Issues. QA Issues. Correspondent issues...
Thirty three professions, and some are broke all to hell. We want to fix them. All of them. But it takes time.
We really don;t have the bandwidth to be here on the boards, track down answers, and post them to everyone. We simply would never get ANYTHING done. But communication is necessary, and good... so we are trying to focus it where we can. Right now this is aimed squarely at the Droid Engineers. And even they would like more. We just can't do it. But we lurk like crazy. We do read what is going on, and understand how you feel. I really wish we had the time to communicate with everyone. But we do not.
I love commandos... I ground my way up to Master the old-fashioned way on Ahazi, and play one to this day. I cried when we nerf'ed the DOT's, but I think it was right for the game.
I ask for your patience. When will we get around to answering the questions? I honestly can't say for sure. I am sorry. But we are listening. Your correspondent is the numberone way into our plans.Thanks.

Odd, wasn't letting me post anything for awhile there.
Anyhow,
Devs: You need to focus on FIXING the nearly-utterly broken classes in this game before you work on implementing pretty little Publish themes and new dungeons.

Can't get much more direct than that.
You gotta /salute the direct approach from a guy under SOEs employ. Not many have the kahonas to use it.

I appreciate you taking the time to say this, but one thing youve got to understandis this. In the last patch you took a hack saw to our proffesion, against our warnings, and now everything we predicted has happened. And all we have gotten in response to our concerns is "watch and wait", and everytime we have Watechd and waited weve gotten screwed. I really do appreciate you coming here, and letting us know we still exist... But for most of us it isnt enough.
Sorry to have irritated you JustG. We just care alot and fight hard for our profession.
Really, its the ultimate compliment to you guys that we are so passionate about something in your game. Most of us stay here when others jump from one profession to the other just as attempt to be uber, we like it here and will always support the improvement of our profession.
Thanks for your time.
I am not irritated at all... just BUSY!!!
You guys rock, as I said, it is my preferred profession also.
We do lurk.
Can you imagine calling your phone service or talking to your grocery store manager and hearing that? Why do we put up with that kind of thing in this industry?
Hire more people.
