THUNDERHEART YOU SHOULD KNOW:

That it is really hard to quote your posts because you have crazy HTML that users can't post. So with your posts I can't use the "quote" feature of the board.

Damn, I was really hoping the food nto decaying after death wasa bug and would be changed later

Wow.. I had no idea that you had a +25 to Tip Toeing modifier, TH. Good job on saying "no", and "Maybe later" in more words than I thought possible.

I'm also glad that you posted the answers, those on the CH boards were beginning to think you weren't gonna start it back up/

Hey, I don't make up the questions - - you guys do. I only answer them with the best information I have at the time. The answers I give are the best answers I have. If they are repetative, then ask different questions =P (j/k :wink )

Musician

Will Musicians get the ability to buff their own Focus and Willpower? Also, can we get our buffs to last as long as Doctor buffs -- say, three hours? And would it be possible to improve the buff interface so that we can when we're buffing properly, how much time remains til the buff is done, and (most important) whether the buff actually worked?

Musicians will not get the ability to buff their own Focus and Willpower. As the system currently exists, if players could buff themselves, they would get experience points every time they buffed themselves and that is bad design. In the future, Keldarin wants to change the system and then it would be possible. As for extending buff durations? It is hard to say since much of this will be changing with the combat balance.

Whether or not a player is buffing properly or if it worked will be displayed in the buff icon window and the character sheet. If the icon appears and your stats change, then the buff worked. As for the displaying the buff duration information in the buff window, the answer is “not at this time”. All the UI programmers are working on JTL.

1. - Musician buffing themselves -

We get extra XP for buffing? Never noticed that :/ - I don't get XP when healing my own BF or Mind Wounds - and Docs can buff themselves - I just don't get it

2. - Buff duration info -

You answered a completly wrong question never asked (in fact - the buff duration IS showen in the buff window o.O) ...

Musician want to know IF the buff worked - dancers can see if the buff worked by looking at the public mind bar - musicians can't see the hidden secondary stats - they could be ripped of by the costumer saying "It didn't work - I'm not paying or pay me back"
- and they can't see how long they still have to play - but as UI programmers don't have time for anything - I guess the answere to both is also a "No"

3. - on "Ask different questions" -

You do realise that these questions are all rather old, and were never really compared to the other professions ...

Also some answeres given are completly not what the question was going for - often the players clearly wanted to know a bit more "behind the scenes" why and how it's done - and not want to hear that "lame" excuse "combat balance" - they want more detailed facts, not rumors

I'm rather glad I have no desire to buy JTL, I can only cope with one bugged game at a time, but its a shame our gameplay should be affected by an expansion not all of us are going to play.

On the upside, there will probably be a party in the tailor forums when (if) the necklace bug does get fixed.

Please tell me the much talked about "Veteran Rewards program" is more than special emotes. That would be very disappointing.

And I'd hate new emotes in the game that I cannot use because I am no veteran. :-(

I have NO problem with veterans getting 10 Million Credits or a JetPack or an armor that blocks everything, but I really would not like to see roleplaying stuff in the game not available to ALL.

Please rethink that. PLEASE!

We DO pick the questions, however, you choose to answer only the easy ones. As this is YOUR forum we are at the whim of a group of developers and employees who do nothing about a GCW running rampant with poison and headshots, leaving core players frustrated and ready to leave. I happen to be a Master Rifleman and CM and cannot imagine this combination is allowed to exist at it's current level. However, instead of "balancing" anything, we are going to be made to wait and wait for your beloved "combat revamp". By the time you get done with all of the non PvP professions, the PvPers by and large, will move on.

There was a time I used to sit in camps with other players talking about what we had seen in this game. We would heal up and tackle the toughest thing we could find. we would declare and head to Anchorhead for PvP action. Now? Now we talk about what new game we are all leaving to go to.

That's not good business.

Unfortunately I know the only answer you can give. Wait longer, pay me $15 per month, wait longer, push back schedule, pay me $15 per month, wait longer, push back schedule. Oh lookie here, the 32 Jedi per server get 2 publishes while the rest of us can't even get a working battlefield.
