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.

Hot Fix

July 1, 2005

All lairs will now have the proper hit points.

Pets now have the appropriate level and hit points.

So. we have to wait until Friday morning, and if that doesn't fix it, we are screwed for the long weekend.

Amazing what can be done when they have to...

LOL, so this is how JFreeman plans on getting the players to want to come into the cantinas when he removesBF from the game, since you won't be able to play as a CH you will want to sit in the cantina to aleviate your boredom.

I'm so lucky to have some many broken professions on one toon: BE, Ent, CH.

Between my toons I'm a AS, BE, Chef, Entertainer, CH, SW, Tailor........sad for me ......at least ID still works......

As a CH and a dancer, I have seen the writing on the wall for both of my most loved professions since launch constantly hammered, constantly abused, constantly nerfed and made less and less useful. It's discouraging and it does make me think they are simply trying to drive all the non-combatives out of the game.

I have said it before, I'll say it again, I'm not leaving if that's what they want. I want them to fix the issues and deal with these things. It's wishful thinking, I suppose but I'm stubborn and I will keep fighting.

I'm not holding my breath on the hot-fix.

I will say this, Ko-a, You are more, more, more than appreciated as our Correspondant. Thank you so much for keeping us on top of this, and for fighting this bug on TC when it was there. Thank you, truly from the bottom of my heart for being there for all of us.

Well if this hot fix tonight/tomorrow morning works then that will have been a rather quick turn around on the problem. I will be very happy if it fixes the problem as intended so I can finally use my newly grown Narglatches. On a brighter note I did log in last night to see what the damage was exactly and found that all of my BE pets were unaffected. Only my natural pets were borked.

Rable Rable Rable!

I feel for you guys. I really do. It's crap like this that keeps pushing me farther and farther away from SOE games. I've since cancelled my account. It is totally and completely inexcusable that this bug went live. By leaving this in, even if it was a mistake, SOE has rendered and entire profession useless until it is fixed.

SOE you hear this every day from so many people, but I'm going to keep reiterating it until it sinks into your thick heads. This is NOT how you treat your paying customers. Once the Ep. III craze dies down you're going to be seeing a marked decline in subscribers, and it's going to be because of neglegent mistakes like this.

Can you imagine what would have happened if BH had a bug like this go into the game? Half the population of the game would be up in arms... How this managed to slip through... truly astounding.

Wow, a double-whammy for me, being a droid engineer and creature handler. Guess I'll go warm the bench this quarter of the game...

Hope you do not mind the company on that bench and hope there is enough room for a wookiee haha

Any room for a Smuggler/CH?

I posted this on another topic but do you think there is even a small chance the Devs might give us an extended 2x or even 4x* only to CH

I beleave they shoud do that as all other professions are benafiting from the 2nd anaversary 2x xp and we are missing out

*like what they did with the servers that had the CU misapplyed

/bump Been aorund since the beginning..quit for a while (STUPID INTEGRATED VIDEO CARD ON DELL COMP!!!!:smileymad and just came back. The entire time ive wanted to be a ch and this is what i get. Devs...stop the favoritism!

I keep telling you, I don't think anything "slipped" through. I think management made a concience decision to release thepublish with the bug rather than delay the publish to fix the bug! It was a management decision.
