Thread: When was the last time?

Out of curiosity, I was wondering when the last time an employee of Lucas Arts or SOE actually responded to anything in the CH forums??


I have been reading these boards for quite some time, and I am aware that Vert will be going to Austin in the very near future ( I wish you the best of luck by the way, stand strong and hold your ground , but all that put aside, I don't think I have ever read anything from the Devs's as it pertains to our long list of problems. I saw Haden mentioned Smugglers yesterday, but never MCH.


This is not a rant or a whine, I'm nottrying to start a fire here, I was really just wondering what forms of acknowledgement we have received concerning these issues in the past? Does anyone remember?

Not since last year that I remember. Maybe in January. We have not heard one word from a dev in a long time...

Hmmm well maybe every MCH/CH in the game spamming the devs personal inboxes with 200 e-mails a day about the problems in the professionwould get the point across .


That may be a little extreme butI do think that getting straight to the source wouldnt be a bad idea. While vert is our middle man and im very sure is doing all he can for us im getting the impression from reading these fourms that the devs dont give a crap about us. Its easy to say yea vert well get righ on that but when you have to answer to a dissapointed kid its a bit harder to give them the run around. sorry but ive spent several hours reading old post andfrom what i can tell thats exactly what they are doing.


Im not saying harass the devs by any means as that will just cause many more problems for us in the future but I think getting straight to the source and saying "hey we REALLY got screwed over how do YOU plan on fixing it?" might get some kind of result.

January sounds about right...might have been November or December, after they put off the combat rebalance for the first time...

Man that is crazy , I thought it was in January too, maybe around patch 6, where my pets started standing on my head etc...


Is it really true that we have gone 8 months without even an acknowledgement or response, not even a little "I hear you" and the Devs will work on it as soon as they are done with whatever!!!!


Can they at least state where we sit on the calander for any kind of attention? Are we six professions behind Smuggler and Squad Leader or is it that we will hear of no CH specifics until after JTL.



Again not trying to whine, I am just trying to understand the communication timeline.



Vert do they talk to you at all?

The last time I see for JustG was in April.

With one of the combat delay announcements (the first one, not the recent one), they had a thread that got some negative feedback. I posted a very polite but upset message in reply that let them know how badly they screwed us handlers over by doing this. A few other handlers echoed my comments, trying to keep it peaceful, although we were all angry about it.

Shortly thereafter JustG posted a "yeah, we blew it for you guys, but there isn't much we can do until the balance occurs" on our boards. It isn't turning up on search though.

Thanks for that!! Nice detective work. But reading that post was like a self inflicted wound, boy did that hurt. I was hoping that with all the little mini patches they are putting out these days, I was hoping and praying that one of them might give the Creature Handler some love.


Was wondering if we had heard anything. It looks to me that although he said PM's would have an adverse affect, they are the only thing he hasresponded to in 8 months.


I wish i would stop having wishful thinking,

How much you want to bet that CH's will get no, or next to no attention with this up and coming "quick fixes" to tide us over until after JTl...

The DEVs don't give a crap about any class but Jedi and JTLS right now. Look around, read all the boards
