so who is JFreeman and why should we care? If he is a red name let him come here and post directly (he can run away and not read the responses

Yeah sorry I am just a stupid wookiee and do not know how to do the clicky thing. Was trying to spread the word the fastest way I can.
Sorry again
How can a major company like SOE be allowed to control & mess up an online RPG based on a billion dollar movie fanchise?
Why didn't ILM/Lucas Arts handle this game?
This should be the best online RPG ever, they should be ashamed!

Funny thing is he posted right after me in the thread and I was in shock never seen a red name just appear in a thread after I post to it.
Although I agree with your post and that it WILL get fixed.
SOE is really training its PAYING customers to beta test. We are becoming accustomed to being the ones that are FINDING and REPORTING the bugs. Isn't that what people are paid to do? Isn't this what TC is for? We are PAYING to do this not GETTING PAID.
My guess is that I will lose my Varactyl and the mission will get reset. I will lose my Bolotaur but the mission will get reset. I will lose all of my other pets and will have to go find new ones. OR the display is just not showing properly and the display problems will get fixed.
I have made a reasonable living selling non ch mounts to players on Chilastra. As you all know we can't deed pets so we have to sit on them. So I lost my whole stock of pets, no biggie. I'll find more.
So yes it's very irritating and I as well as many will complain in here. But the best way to get it fixed is to do as the author of this post suggests.

Of course, you have to think about it from a few sides. I really don't think they were ignoring us. Not too many people play test center bro, maybe Sony did not catch it. Now that it is on live servers, use the tools provided and help them get it fixed.
It was reported to them through every process they set up for bug reporting -- in-game, via their Correspondent, and /bugged by numerous testers on TC.
The problem is that their QA process is broken, as it has always been broken, and their managers just push code out on a timetable that doesn't pay the slightest attention to code quality.
You think it will 'get fixed' eventually? When? On the same timetable as pet speed? Pet specials? Attacking while mounted?
They are making the bugs FAR faster than they are fixing them .... there's only one word for that in software dev circles: incompetence
As far as this current situation goes. I agree to a lesser extent with the poster. Of course this will get fixed. There is no workaround and no alternative for playability with the CH class. But telling people to "stop crying" only ticks people off and is not productive. Let people "cry" and express their displeasure. That's why we have these forums. The correspondent and the developers are well aware of this problem and will work to address it as soon as possible.
This is funny.
YOu know I think that the galaxy is really out to get my character.
I have been busting my butt and waking hours to get Master in my professions. And both of my professions have been screwed. I am working on MR/MCH, now the information that I get from creatures is only what type of meat and hide it is.I dont have a tank potential anymore because my pets are now useless.
Oh I can train my CL1(0) into a mount....ooooooohh
I have not even gotten near teir 3 on my trees in CH so my creatures are not that powerful but they still helped to take the target out. Now if I have the creature attack it will die just from a nuna looking at it funny.
I can understand the grief that everyone is yelling about. Hell they are paying money to play a game and the game just (yet again) made it worse for them. It appears that SOE does not like anything other than Jedi and BH.
To SOE:
STAR WARS IS MORE THAN JUST THAT.
this bug is about like making all the weapons in the game do 1 point of damage and the creatures and NPC's do 500. You may be happy about it but there is cause to complain.

I want confirmation that developers have lost their jobs over this utter incompetence.
They were told a week ago, when this patch was put on TC and TC2 that it was there.
They have ignored this bug since then, and allowed it to go live.
I want compensation. I cannot play the game against mobs at my level without my full combat power available to me, and they have taken away half of it.
Something tells me Sio will be out for ohhh... 5000 minutes or so for this

It is really upsetting that something this game-breaking for so many people could make it live. I feel like I and others like Sio completely wasted our time going to TC2 and reporting this here and in 2 different days bug threads (and/or confirming other's reports) as well as all the other testing I did. I should have been in live all that time earning double xp and trading it at the village to get me to that one profession they pay attention to nowadays instead of testing. I guess the test was just as to whether the servers would load afterwards.

I think everyone is just entirely fed up, and sick of it. The neglect has gone from a willful ignorance on the devs part straight to total abuse. If this was jedi related it would not have made it. Over a year now atleast we have had broken specials pets insignifigant in pvp, and pretty worthless in alot of pve for that matter.
We have a CSR at the fanfest saying we are unworthy of pvp, and we are a pve profession. Nice way to descriminate. It cannot happen to jedi pve only, but its okay to stab CHs with that one.
While everyone had god buffs and super armors. Our pets were walking around with capped resists. Pets died in one hit in pvp, and now that everyone is walking around auto buffed pets are still pretty worthless.
The grand total of what CH got for its patience. Pets that actually healed instead of makeing us work as stim factories. This was it. I think the time for patience is over its time to just quit. The devs obviously have a major psychotic freaking hatred for CH.
