Waves, I'm one of the people throwing in the towel, and I can see what your saying but I think the diffrence between us lies in a number of areas.

My question is, why do you assume it's just another 1-3 months? Since January when they first started making thier promises it was also 'just a couple of months' That never changed, they just kept shifting the deadline 'just a few more months' into the future. For me it's just been 'a few more months' far to many times now. It's not the money that affects my decision but the fact that the game and the way its run has turned into a source of fustration and annoyance rather than a source of fun and enjoyment. When that happens, I feel it's time to move on.

From your post it sounds like your still having a blast with the game. Thats great, I'm kinda envious. If I was still having fun I would'nt be going anywhere.

I'm not leaving to make some form of statement. Though I think that what your saying might be well illustrate the core of the problem. If the devs don't care about our issues or the fact that people are leaving in fustration, then why would I want to stay? With an attitude like that, how can I have any hope for future enjoyment in the game?

Let me suggest this - being that I HAD to leave for 6 months - I dont have near the frustration that any of you do - so instead of quiting all together - TAKE A BREAK - a sebatical if you will (forgive the spelling). It did wonders for me. Try throwing another game in the old CD drive or your PS2 or XBOX for a while, check in here with your commando friends to get the scoop every once in a while, and maybe it will help you in these last phases of the wait.

Hehe, well that one advantage of 'quiting', you can always change your mind. Taking a sabatical and quitting is really the same with the one diffrence being whether you imagin that your going to return at some point. If the devs does come through and things improve, who knows, maybe ill come back *shrug*. Personally I can't see the dev team improving the game to a point where I'd find it enjoyable again, but I'd love to be proven wrong

A pregnant wife of 5 months(not too long til I have to take another break lol), and am a kid at heart who loves the starwars/science fiction stuff.

Congratulations Remeber to teach them to take thier flame throwers outside if they want to play with them!

Anyways, best of luck with the game, I hope you'll contunue to enjoy it as much as you are already. For me, I've stoped enjoying myself when playing, and with so many new games comming out in the near future i'll be looking for a game where I have more faith in the development team.

Yes, I'm still here, but it's sure as hell not because of actually playing the game. I was just lucky enough to find a great group of people that I could associate with. I actually dropped Bounty Hunter for a few months and I haven't hunted in weeks. Basically I'm paying $15 a month for a chat room, not a video game. If the actual game is all I cared about I would have left after they delayed the revamp and then changed their minds about the professional hot fixes.

You say "a couple of months" like it's an actual time frame. Yes, every "couple of months" the devs come out with some new way to delay the upgrade and hand us some "big secret" that's too holy to share with their customer base. I'd say simply telling us what they had planned would be enough, but then again there's no gaurantee they'll keep their word.

When they said that JTL would precede the Revamp (as it was then called) the correspondants told us not to worry because they were flying out to Austin to speak with the devs, and once they came back they'd fix the most important combat problems of each prof. Well, they came back, said the "upgrade" would be fantastic, but we'd still have to wait because they weren't touching anything for the moment. To be honest, I felt very betrayed. I was told that the revamp would come first. It didn't. As a consolation, the most important parts would be at least "band-aided" until then. They weren't. I was told that it would be pointless to "patch" something when the "fix" was right around the corner... but all I took it as was another broken promise and another delay. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the "big surprise" TH has planned for us this week is that there won't be a combat upgrade after all. Call me skeptic, but I see no reason to think otherwise.

Samous, so how do ya fel know? are you still skeptical or a little more encouraged. I for one am pretty happy with the announcement - hope you are too man. I see your point as it being an expensive chat room - Ive felt that way a couple times - but maybe with the upcoming changesitll bring some spice to it. Honestly I am extremely excited - but again ive been gone for 6 months. Anywho - hope the news helped ya out - barely know ya - but hate to hear the community being down.

Good luck to ya
