just a FYI on the state of pet specials in test.....reported to me by 4 different testers that all pet specials as of 4/23 pet specials were working and working well....even on CL 10 pets....intimidate turns out to be a awesome special due to its high lvl of damage reduction and no state recovery for it....but KD was also working well in pvp and successful about 60% of the time......maybe a glimmer of hope in these dark times for you all......

Let me point out that I've been here since Vert started as correspondent. In all that time he's written a CH FAQ and answered questions here and there, but for the most part he seems to be in the dark about things more than most players. I don't know if it's because he doesn't play as an MCH or test things himself or what? Or maybe he just doesn't get answers back. Then again, maybe--like has been speculated on--he just doesn't do his job well. In any case, he's been the same since the beginning. I stopped relying on correspondents for my info a long time ago. It's sad but true. And you have to keep in mind that Vert doesn't get paid to do this thankless job. I doubt he will come out and say which is the real culprit. In the end it doesn't matter I suppose. He does get us info from time to time.

On not knowing Vert asa person, remember that we are all more than just words on a computer screen... there may be real life issues that mean Vert is not as communicative as he has been in the past (and he has been).


I wouldfully expect Vert to say if the pressures of real life / other comittments mean he feel he can't devote as much time to the CH correspondent post as he once was able to.


Until that time - I'll keep my vote of confidence for Vert remaining in the post compared to any other CH in these forums.


There's only one CH I see in these forums (who's now purple named) that I could see as being able to fully fit the correspondent role from a dedicated love of CH should Vert step down.

I think asking for general courtesy in a post is not exactly facism; I could be wrong now though.

Part of the reason I like the CH forums more than any other is that people seem to be a lot less hostile, and a lot more calm and well spoken with a coherent thought process usualy leading to a lucid conclusion, without any of the side hostility. This recent turn just has begun to bother me a bit, and I don't quite want to hear all the negativity any more.

The fact that they are possibly not fixed scares me a little bit, but I feel it will be adressed in time and that further testing is needed.

Until time has passed after the CU I will retain my cautious optomism and probably CH. Call me a sentimental fool, but I've let two pets that I've had for more than five mintues go, and I had a hard time doing it. I'd hate to see my NPC companions fall into disuse and be stuck in the prison of my datapd.

I hope you don't mean Tivo, he is gone, but was very respected among the ch.


There are a few others that come to mind.


If Vert ever does decide to leave I see a couple of people running straight for it. (Well One Anyways LOL)


A Cor should be someone who can see both sides of the fence, not besuffering fromdev worship. A Cor should feel comfortable talking to the happy happy folk who thank the devs for everything lol. and the angry I hate everything people.


There are only3 people still here who I would recommend for a Cor position. Ko-airi,and Enigma, another who I won't name cause he probbly wouldn't want it lol. Both of these people I have named have shown a nuetrality of sorts. They hope for the best and are usually a positive influence but can be honest enough in times of trouble to give an honest answer even if its a negative one.


Although there are many people here I respect and have spoken of in the past with extraordinary gifts and abilities. I believe someone who's in a nuetral territory is the only type of individual who will help you all in the months/years to come.


Opinionated people like myself will not be a positive influence in the dealing with the soe/devs. Nor will a swg/dev worshiper and hate clubs.


Just my 2 cents, its off topic but I am getting the feeling that more change is coming and someone is being groomed for a job,. and no its just a feeling I have and won't tell you who I think it is lol. Hopefully I am wrong i this asI was wrong in thinking the polls might have influence on the CU.

Score another answer to a question discovered by players and not our duly appointed correspondent. what is the score now? 500-0 or something?




there is no credit to this post, and i have been on TC and the specials are NOT fixed. Which is why our correspondent hasnt posted, he is too busy testing rather than posting false information on our forums.

Tivo was certainly very well respected and had my respect too. Don't think for a second that I wish to see Vert out - I don't. I guess any dedicated correspondent can do the best job they can and still be frustrated by things that are simply out of their hands not to mention other pressures that may be upon them in real life.


You named the guy I was thinking of. Enigma/Milteck.

Well this is good to hear...

As an aside I don't think every post needs to turn into a "Burn the Correspondant" post. I understand that things may not look so bright, and we all may feel a bit bitter, but this is no reason to lash out at people.

I feel that in a degree of supposidly intelligent neutral debate we have no need fo such antics.

If you have criticism make it constructive, and maybe bring it up privately. Every individual in this forum deserves respect.

Meuw did you not just mention how forum posts are not to be turned into flame wars? No need to instigate.


If you want to use personal attacks, be baleful. and attempt to be witty become a right wing talk show host...not a CH.

just tested it, it is not fixed. On TC it may be but that is the full rage of the wookies test. on conversion servers they still do not work. As to which version they plan to use? HEY! I KNOW! Let's ask Vert! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
