Thread: The Publish 19 Bug [Fixed July 1/2]
From the Publish 19 Issue Thread, updated by Tiggs.
I will not hold my breath. Seeing that the profession breaking issue CH has now rates us even less attention then even Entertainers. Yes thats right JFreeman posted ONCE in our thread but TWICE in theirs?

then we would be back to publish 18 while you fixed it, we all could use our pets and grind and what ever and all is happy for a bit.I hope there will be some message done by the developers soon, but I'm afraid soon could be a relative term. I'm not holding my breath, considering the knowledge I have about the company. Unfortunately it is not so much that SOE 'doesn't care,' as many people state, but that there is a great disconnect between management and 'employees.' That gap has widened since the recent decision by management to sever ties with a local agency that supplied many CSRs for them and to go with India CSRs. The decision was made for monetary reasons, not because of problems with US CSRs.
Sorry to have gone onto another subject, but considering my recent situation, and to have it compounded by this anniversay ability to gain xp, but now can't use it because the CH profession is temp. down is discouraging. Yes, hopefully they will come up with a fix soon, but with the 4th coming up and the low staffing, I doubt that it will be anything good.
DON'T THEY TEST THE GAME BEFORE SENDING THE "IMPROVEMENTS" LIVE????
All but one of my CH pets are unplayable!!!!!! The onlypets that survived with more than 10 HAM is a lvl 34 BE Dewback and a Probot.
ALL of my other pets are now lvl 1(0)

We had another last-minute-bugfix which so similar to this, that there was some confusion that led to our thinking that fixing that bug resolved this issue.
I don't mean to offer that as an excuse, I just want to explain what happened.
I'm really sorry this made it to Live. We're working on a fix and we'll get it to you as soon as we can.
This is why I don't participate on TC at all. After 2 years, you guys still toss out publishes that have 50% of the bugs that where reported by your TC players.
Tell whoever the Suit is that is forcing these to chill the hell out. If it's not ready, DON'T push it live. I've got one CH and my gf is nothing but a CH. Thanks for giving us a big kick in the teeth.
Please, please make someone sit thier happy butt in a chair and fix this before they are allowed to "head out" for the weekend. After 2 years, we disearve this atleast.

I'm told there will be an announcement regarding this shortly.
Thanks Ko!
Let's hope it's a good announcement.
And thank you very much for doing this job, Ko!
Many of us realize what kind of volunteer effort it takes on your part and how little reward or acknowledgement there is...
So, thank you.
I've had some great experiences with correspondants...
It seems I'm made to suffer (It's my lot in life), but my main character has been a Musician/Pistoleer/Creature Handler since this game began.
Pistoleer is fine now, but remember it was mainly broken until the CU (And of course the melee imbalance was just crazy)...
We all know about CH...
Musician... man, it's the only profession that has kept me distracted enough (with it's bugs and inefficiencies) to keep me from freaking out about CH over the past two years.
Now that I've dropped Musician, I can fully focus on complaining about CH (And Smuggler now too!).
May the force be with you.
