its not scare mongering its reality. while all the pre pub 9 unlockers got to go out and immediately play their jedi we get a nice message. woot now what? we cant play our jedi, we cant see our jedi, we dont know our jedi. nor do we know if we get screwed, unlike all previous unlockers and our main is our jedi. I think the devs should at least let unlockers go to tc and play their jedi there and at least do something constructive while we hold our breath for pub 10. I would love to test out the system and help find bugs while I wait for something that no one else has had to wait for.

Yes I am a little bitter, as many people must feel after missing the deadline. And unlocking late. The truth is I only did that last profession because of a guildmate. who told me of this post on the chilastra boards and bet me a mil it would open me. well im out a mil, no big deal. but the wait and reading of how many probelms there are now with jedi after the big fix is scary. 2 1/2 worthless force trees. again its not scare mongering its the reality of it. People worked their arses off to obtain something. some people are reaping the rewards while others who put in just as much time and effort and many people putting in more time and effort than those who unlocked in 15 or less. sit riding the bench waiting for the coach to call their name.

Those of us who are patiently waiting not by choice but by the law of SOE should demand they put their heart and soul into doing this right. we paid we played now we wait for the best. Its time for the devs to do the right thing. listen to feedback and fix the probelms so they can move on and not have to worry about jedi for a long time to come. Isnt that what a revamp is supposed to do? Fix a problem so you dont need to touch it again for a long time to come?But it looks like by ignoring the feedback theres more problems now than there was before.

All the paying customer wants is adequate service for their money. and they expect a product to work, be in good condition. Let me tell you if i were to have to deliver a packeage left in our bldg that a driver forgot and i took it to the customer and it was open, torn apart and half the contents were missing guess what UPS would be paying for it. If you go to walmart and buy a color tv and you get it home and it only has half the screen displaying and its in black and white you would expect a refund or replacement. If you signed a contract for a painter to paint your car or house and they painted it the wrong color broke your windows and left a mess all over the place you would expect them to fix the work and damage.

so why should we expect any less from the team at SOE. stop pushing out half broken crap publishes take your time and get it right. Would it have hurt you DEV TEAM to wait another month to puch 9 to live? Would it have HURT YOU DEV TEAM to listen to your customer base? Would it have hurt you DEV TEAM to actually take the time and make sure your doing something right the first time? If this wasnt star wars I would have gone long ago. I thought UO had some screwed up publishes but you guys have taken the cake lately. the facts are here for you to see. every single profession has flaws. your big MONEY draw profession is flawed badly and you are making it worse from the sounds of things. If any other type of business that wasnt star wars conducted business in this manner it would be out of business in a very short time.

Business is about making the customer happy. and right now the natives are restless.
