Dear Sony,

There are some words that i cannot say on this forum that would only partially get through how horribly frustrated i am with the way you, Sony, handled not only this situation with the T-21 rifle but also your tendency to forget balance, and fix broken things by making them drastically different from what they are meant to be; almost all of the time making them worse. The saddest part is that even though there werehundreds of responses in a very short window of time to this issue, 90% of us against such a huge nerf, you simply did not listen. It really makes mewonder, WHY did you bother inquiring from us at all?



That said, i will tell you that i dont think that any weapon should have had the power the AR3 T21 would have, but you failed to meet us half way. Such a drastic nerf is what is making us so mad, turning what was meant to be the best gun in the game to a lowlyAR1 weapon that my current weapon the E11 blaster rifle could very well outdamage because of more speed and its AR2 capabilities. What were you thinking doing such a thing in such a quick, untimely manner. You rushed this one Sony and you seriously messedit up. One day is never long enough to judge anything, one day is never long to test anything, and i am beginning to think that you did not test this at all. You just listened to a few non riflmemen who cried out about the T21, and the amount of damage it did, and did not even seem to take into account the hundreds ofplayers that are repeatedly pleading with you too givetheir combat class some sort of balance. You failed to look at the overpowering aspects of pistols, you failed to see, or just were too much of a coward to admit that you are too lazy to take the next month balancing the horribly unbalanced weapon system.You failed us as paying customers to make the best game possible, continually breaking things instead of fixing them. I truly reccomend that you NEVER take one day to decide on anything EVER again, and please you MUST take us as players seriously, you MUST listen to us, or you will lose us as customers.



The most ironic thing that came out of this whole issue was that after the Riflemen got what they wanted, the AR3 on the T21, only ONE DAY later, you made the T21 a worse rifle than it was without any armor piercing. I must say that i love THE IDEA of playing a rifleman; secretive, invisible....powerful, yet you Sony have failed in making IDEAS into a workable reality. This is the same with so many other professions that love the IDEA behind what they are doing( Bio-E, Commandos, Rangers, DEs; etc.) but you have simply failed to come through, to make these virtual lives happy lives, instead of theracous, insult spewing, swearing and frustrated people who pay your paychecks. Please Sony, give us something better.

The new content and bug fixes to dancer are long overdue, but they seem to of been done right. Thank you!

No all we need is the /mirror command to allow us the base dances in flourishes moving in teh exact oposite direction and we would be perfect! (Well almost)

It is good to see my friend amongst us here again.


For as many problems that we have, what happens in the game around us cannot change the sheer joy we as dancers have when we are given something as simple as these things. It does not take much.


When the dances went live, I had an excitement and confidence I did not have as a dancer in a long, long time. And I was not the only one. We ran clinics, danced in the streets, and embraced our dances such as Lyrical, Formal, and all our others like old friends.


And that is not the only thing that I discovered! As we expressed our joy at performing, so too did many of our patrons stop and view us with a new sense of wonder and joy as well. Excitement is contageous.


After the publish, for the first time in a long time I felt highly motivated to dance in the venues. I even went to Coronet for the first time in months.


...And in fact, maybe I should log in and dance now. For the sheer fun of it all.

Woohoo! Welcome back to the forums Madame Diva!! /cheer Sultrina


I'm really hoping the next DC will use this last patch as a jumping off point for actual Dance issues when that person takes the spot and if the Devs will allow it right now.


When I was talking to Scip about this though, he said even if it wasn't allowed to be talked about right now by our Corr, it should be allowed to make up the bulk of our Top Dancer Issues now though, so, that's awesome! I think we're a lot closer to actually being allowed to ask for all those cool tools and props you always wanted us to have.

Props... like in a theatre? And not in the back room, actually on the stage? Or is that too much to ask.

*points up*

*realizes that might look way too hopeful for some Dancers to stomach*

*apologizes for never ending perkiness and addiction to hope*

*explains that Deila is not mentioned because this would be an odd thing to try to tackle on one's way out*

Deila of course has all of my love and support just like she always has, I was just whining to Scip because she is very very busy with rl right now and I have bugged her enough.


Sorry people, I think the cold meds are making me leave out important little details, lol.



Sighryn - I'm hoping for props to be allowed any where we might want to put on a show!

I'd be practicing it right now in the Theed cantina, but the average IQ there right now is slightly higher than mayonnaise.

Mmm, that's an insult to the Mayonnaise

Anyway, any hope for a group command to start/stop dance?

After our dance troupe rehearsal last night, oh GOD YES PLEASE.


It would make things so much easier.

Haven't seen you post here in a long time. Then again I don't read these forums as avidly as I once did. Perhaps the same has been true of you as well.

Glad to see you are still out there dancing.
