dunno if anyone else has seen this

had a look at the new wookiee armor pieces in my crafting tool yesterday - the chest/helm combo of the set with horns shows all black - no textures or color to it - just all black armor piece with no detail to it - and white horns



I would also like to comment on the race tracks.

When trying for the badge yesterday I ran into the guy with the current record - I spent a while trying to beat it then asked what vehicle he used. answer was av21. Now for those not owning an av21 or jedi apart from the novelty of running thr track a couple times there is no way to get the badge.

Only way Im gonna be able to get that badge is to get on server on restart on a sunday and hope Im there before anyone else. Is there no way that times can be classified so Swoops compete with times of other swoops, av21 vs av21 etc - I left the track last night rather frustrated to say the least.

I would also like to be able to start the race without having to dismount then mount my vehicle - what race have you seen that requires the driver to be out of the vehicle at the start line?

At its core, the idea of polling players in game is valid and one I'd like to pursue, but when it comes to forum demographics, avid posters tend to be early adopters and power users. The feedback they provide is always valuable information.

IGNPC: We often hear the loudest cries from a relative minority. Still, it seems odd that all the comments sent our way have been negative. Haden Blackman: Yeah, all the guys who are happy with everything are playing the game. They aren't spending their time sending you guys letters or posting on the forums.

Big diff of opinion...

Not a difference of opinion, a difference of perspective.

It's true that a minority of players post on the forums. But that doesn't make their feedback any less valuable. Quite the opposite. If everyone that played the game posted, it would actually diminish the importance of each post (not to mention make it very difficult to find). So in reality, the two comments are complimentary, not conflicting.

FranklyI don't understand why everyone feels they have to take comments like Blackman's so personally all the time. Think about it. The last time you were having a great time in-game (yeah yeah insert your sarcastic comment about how long ago that was-here-), did you stop and say, "Man, I have to go post this in the forums!" or did you just keep playing? Aren't people more apt to post when they're NOT having fun? That's all he was trying to say. It was poorly said, but if you look past the words to the message, you might find out that it's not so bad after all.

But all of this is off-topic, and has nothing to do with Publish 9.2. In a way, I'm ashamed at myself for contributing to it.

Well, you see, that analysis requires a degree of critical thinking that is sorely lacking right now. If you actually parse Blackman's statement, it's true...people who are happy with everything are just playing. Nothing false about it at all.

If you can't see that there is a difference between soliciting feedback for newly launched features and the type of polling involved with concluding that the bulk of players want JTL...well, then you're being stubborn.

Now I'll sit here and brace for 1 star.

I would like some CSR attention placed on exploiters ruining the race tracks. Yesterday on Intrepid, a known exploiter, -ix-, recorded a time of 444 seconds on the Espa Circuit. Using an AV-21 and the "shortest route between to points is a straight line" theory, I wasn't able to even approach 500 seconds. It is pretty clear that -ix- was using a speed hack, which he has been known to do in PvP as well. We now have it recorded in his time. How the hell can he not be banned?

Might be good to either have a feedback button in game for feedback or maybe a general mail account that people can send stuff while in game. Many times have thinsg that might be cool that see in game but by time leave forget it all. And not just bug reports either but good feed back. All we have in game is the ability to report bad things nothing to report good things that we might come across. That whole positive renforcemnet thing

A great idea.I believe giving the player base in game an option to express their opion or add suggestions is a valid solution to improve the game for all of the players.

New wookie armor does not render correctly on Bloodfin. Shows up as all black. NO DETAIL except those damn feathers.

I love these none rush, highly tested publishes, don't you.

I guess medics aren't considered crafters?

I'm master doctor, and the contracter won't speak to me....yay
