Why y r their no bleeds here and there.
The reason why you don't see bleeds, is that a lightsaber kinda "burns" through the flesh hehe
And I guess that George doesn't really care about Star Wars anyway these days, just the money
So I doubt he'd care about the game, as long as he get paid.
As far from this post, and about Gordon Walton not "having fun" in SWG, he clearly stated that he was busy working on an other game as well. And I guess he was kinda stressed in the beginning of SWG, as he had to play, enjoy and notice flaws and errors. And therefor wasn't completely "free" to enjoy the game 100%

I'd rather think that George is a wee bit occupied with Episode 3 post-production atm. Just a bit though 
And SW has become a huge francise-empire...you cannot keep track of everything alone. If you want to blame someone, blame the continuity guys which have to check this kind of stuff. George just counts the cash

I just think that the continity people are to blame and that's why they get LA ppl to approve of using every bit of content from the other movies to give us something to play with.

Mr. Tyrant (is mr an appropriate title?)
At this point youre well aware of the various complaints about the content and material problems in SWG. my first hope is that these havent scared you off of answering this forum thread. my second hope is that you can enlighten us all a bit as to the procedures you are applying towards fixing these problems.
in the military, we always tried to keep the guys under us informed (preventing grumbling), even when we didnt really have any concrete info to give them. this seems to be the situation you are in now. What we would do is try to provide them with the thought processes that our superiors were using, so they couldhang on to a more plausible idea than the inky blackness of doubt. This might help morale across the forums.
Let me get a bit more specific. we know the general direction that SWG is going- moving to JTL and expanding the universe with jedi, etc. what i think it would help to know is what kind of thought is going into the week to week changes that we are seeing. for example:
- what criteria do you use to decide what issues take repair precedence over others?
- does your mission statement place more emphasis on expansion of new material or improving current material?
- do you feel it is more important to attract new players or retain the old ones?
- we know the jedi trials address the creation of new jedi, will something be done to return them to the rare state the storyline says they should be in, or at least take them out of the public eye?
- the combat rebalance has been promised for months, and keeps being put off. is there some reason or explanation for its low priority against the other patches we've seen?
- is there some way the DEVs could shed a bit more light on the changes they are trying to implement? this would give us more to look foreward to.
im now concerned that i may have asked too many questions at once, and as the majority of your previous responses have been short, you may only answer a portion of this, if at all. if these could be answered in some fashion, i believe you might see an increase in morale and a generally better attitude.

I was wondering if yall could do something with the interior maps. They are realy hard to read. Maybe have it only show the floor u are on or make diferent floors diferent colors.

I have submitted 2 bug reports and 3 petitions for a fix to my toon. I am redirected everytime and case closed. I have an alt who displays none of these problems. I am warping with chat lag. By the forums I am due one free unlock. All this is since i had a bug preventing me from going covert from a recuiter. I could declare but when I attempt to go covert with a recuiter it didn't give me an option. Now the village guy doesn't give me the unlock option and the lag and warping all started about the time of the fix. This is NOT client side I am tired of the run around! In-game Stisrabet! This game has become unplayable and I am sick of the **edit** anwsers I get. Go look at the forums or contact tech support. I am the customer you contact tech support or read the forums. I refuse to get the run around. Screw the unlocks even I just want tto stop warping and having chat problems! I had a csr come to me in-game and fix something and look now sure i can declare and undeclare at will now but takes me a month to get there! FIX MY TOON TODAY! All weekend I put up with this because CSR was to lazy to read my full petition! Instead I get referred to these crap Forums and in Chat when servers crashed CSR held chat hostage for the entire time saying they wouldn't allow spam! Also they wouldn't anwser questions they are so busy holding chat hostage! I say look into these errors today! 2 women decide to lock down a chat room is BS and they know it!
Maybe this is the wrong page but it will be posted until I get a fix. I am not a teen looking for someone to listen I am a man who works for the money I pay! Worst Csr on the planet. In the division of Sony I work I would be fired on the spot for Service like this and why have CSR in-game "help" it is a waste! There will be 2 more deleted accounts if I am not fixed. As a rule I hate people who threaten to delete but It seems that it is the only way!
