They have been saying that crap about fixing bugs for the past few publishes. Don't get sucked into that same old line. They will find a way to nerf something. I believe there is a sign in theior office that says you haven't earned your pay if you did not screw with someones gaming experience today.

And then what?




...and then the next "few" publishes after that will be focused mainly on fixing bugs in "Trials of Obi-wan."

Yeah, that's what was said for Publish 22 and BAMM, XP Nerf





I've been trying to calm people down on that. Trust me, after the reaction they got, and the fact that they rolled it back, don't even concern yourself. I doubt they will be going anywhere near that one again any time soon

You know, the game is sorta getting stale for alot of people. Yea bug fixes are important, but there should be something fresh coming. Peopled used to get really excited about publishes, especially 1-10. Every publish was some exciting new dungeon, feature (player cities, mounts, vehicles), or revamp (chef, DE).

I know theres an expansion coming out, but thats what, a few weeks MAX of content.

It'd be nice to get a new dungeon, maybe even involve space in it. It'd be nice to revamp the GCW as the Meta-game completely failed to inspire PvP and in fact made it worse. SL and Ranger could use a revamp (Ranger was my first class ever, I'd go ranger in a heartbeat if it was any use).

If you guys don't start adding some freshness to the game (other than a single expansion with a few ground quests) your going to see more and more people start quitting through sheer boredom.

translate from dev speak into reality:


1. Your $15 a month no longer purchases add on content. For new content you will have to cough additional hard earned cash (or momma and daddy's credit card for th youngsters).


2. By Bug fixes not the bugs the community wants fixed but things that are working well now that dev thinks are not, so they can half bake fix it so there are more bugs and an upset community.


3. Though this publish is only bug fixes they still don't know what they maybe fixed and what they broke in fixing what they fixed so patch notes are still not done.


I'm kind of curious to what our subscription fee actually goes to anymore. I was under the impression that the game was suppose to be ever evolving and expanding bringing new quest content and missions within the $15 a month subscription fee. Instead we get those things now in purchased expansion packs. Our expansion packs have gone from JTL a whole new and huge piece of the game to what amounts to what we should have been getting all along forour $15 a month a few quests and a planet thats nothing more than a big dungeon.

You're kidding, right? Things are finally working - for the first time ever - and you want more content? Let them fix the base game! If you're bored go play something else while they fix it. If you add more content on top of bugs, guess what? You get more bugs! Then you will be complaining along with the rest of the fanboys that this game suxxors and littering the forums with the same negative garbage that has chased away most of the decent posters.


By all that's holy, let them fix it. We've been waiting for these fixes for a long, long, long time. This morning I crafted a wookie waistwrap and the colors didn't work. If this stuff isn't fixed, everything else that comes behind it will be bugged, too.


I'm thrilled with what they're doing.

omg! Tiggs responded to my post.



I guess my real feel is can we have a set direction or focus for us sorta like.


Pub 23: fix bug issues


Pub24 : bug issues


Pub25 : bug issues new quest(hunt Ladu)


Pub26 : Capitol ships



and then a disclaimer all items are subject to change. Usally a quality program has a continuist improvement plan and any inspecting customer can see the list. ISO 9000 2000 thingy.

Yay!

Any word on if the non-resizeable (and yet too narrow) group window bug is going to get fixed? Or am I the only player afficted by that particular bug?

Buxley

Try changing your resolution, Buxley. I had this problem too and when I switched to 1280x960, it went away. It's worth a try.







I was on 1024x768 and I had that bug. I switched to 1280x960 , went in game, and I was seeing the still non-resizeable but now complete group window. I switched back to 1024x768 and my group window now show completly under that resolution too.

So basically switch to any other resolution, then switch back to what you were using. Problem solved.
Oh and thanks RobBoy, I thought of trying that because of your post.

I would assume if SWG ever included capital ships it would be in a form of an expansion and not just a regular publish. Though with the lack of focus on the space sector of the game from the devs I do not think they will release anything even though they did show a video at the US fanfest on the matter.

I concur, a couple of publishes concentration on fixes was long overdue. As for not fixing the issues "the community" wants fixed, every fix is wanted by someone, just happens to not be you.
