Thread: I think I know why

I may have found the answer to why we are being left in the dark. I was having a talk with a buddy of mine. This guy is a programmer and know some of what goes on in that line of work. We really should stop trying to blame the devs, or atleast not all the devs (shakes fist at Blixtevs). The devs don't necessarily have the ability to work on whatever they want. They are governed by higher powers on what they are and ARE not to work on. "SOE evil corp dictators," to quote my friend. I think that this is the other reason we have not had comment on our current status. The corporates are turning this into politics so that the devs, or anyone for that matter, are now allowed to make comment for fear of retribution or people leaving. On top of that, right now the money maker bringing everyone new in IS Jedi and/or BH.Thisis becausemost of the new fanbase for the game is made up of retarded 15-year olds who thought that episodes 1-3 W3R T3H R0XX0RZZ!!!!!!!!!11111111 or SWJedi junkies thattreat Yoda's teachingsas gospel (like the crazy cult in Austrailia).


So if this is true, and the devs do read this, to all of you who know our plight and are forced to keep hush, I forgive you.


But if my above word are not true...

Being a programmer myself, I can understand how this is most likely true. But again, the term 'devs' describes the development team, which includes the 'evil dictators'. So while it may not be the actual coders fault for not working on what needs work... there are still members of the development team that are responsible for pissing us off. :-P


However, a lot of what's broken in this game would not take a lot of effort to fix. I just don't think that there are very many people working on this game anymore. I think a lot of the development resources have been shifted to other more lucrative projects and this one is just being 'maintained'. I added the quotes on that because I used that term very loosely... ;-)

I'd say it's more likely the bulk of dev attention right now is focused on the next expansion, supposedly another space expansion from what I heard.


Remember how they said after the launch of JtL, they were going to focus all their resources on the CU, and then the CU was hurredly pushed out, buggy as hell, with a new expansion, Rage of the Wooks?


I think that's what we have happening again. They've shifted 75% of their resources, or more, towards the next expansion rather than fixing the existing things that need work. I'm going to say that by January at the verylatest, they will start officially telling us things about a new expansion.


Personally, I just want the my damned professions fixed. Commando, ranger, and armorsmith. Those are three professions I have with various toons, and I think all are in serious need of some work, including the devs actually listening to the members of the communities in question to insure that things are done right.







***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!
