This is a joke, all these posts today and last night, and not a single dev post all day long. Why won't the devs post? Is it that hard to get on and actually explain HOW things work now, and why they're different than they were on test center? I don't understand the point of testing something if you're going to change it on release anyway. I know I'll never bother logging into test center again.


I've seen too many good friends cancel their accounts today because they're seeing people who did absolutely no work under the old system, logging in and getting their old man within a couple of minutes, while those of us who worked our buts off in the system YOU devs designed for us, are online for hours on end with nothing.


We DESERVE an explanation already. Please communicate with your dissatisfied customers just like any other business would do. Tell me how the product I'm paying for is working, and why I should continue to pay for it.

Here is the problem...


I been playing since launch.. I get holos (4), then silent... I should be 4/5 profs. NOT all of a sudden 4/8... thats a HUGE difference. They should be held to the rules...Everybody stopped grinding profs BECAUSE they promised to change the content.


IF TOO MANY JEDI, THEN FIND WAYS TO KILL THEM... its simple really... reinstate some death penalties before you kill the game... maybe if you die too mucch as a jedi, have to go back to trilas, or worse...



and yeah im glowing, and no i havent seen the old man...

I think its a moot point now Kenbarnes2003. The devs have admitted they've been flat out lieing to us with their patch notes up to this point. They tell us what changes they're making, we test them, and if we like them, we continue to pay money to play the game. They're not upfront about what changes they're making, expecting us to keep playing. They're dishonest. I think everyone realizes that now.


The main thing we have to argue at this point, is for them to change their ways now, and be upfront about THIS change.Nothing we can do about the past, but add it to the reasons to cancel if they don't start acting upfront about the current (and future) publishes.

I have several problems with this release, but after reading 20 of the 80 pages worth of posts in this thread, I determined that not one of my complaints had not yet been voiced. Gated from viewing newcontent, yet another stealth nerf on the Smuggler profession, reworking Merchant...it's all the same. I don't really have to go into specifics about what's wrong with this publish, a lot of others have already done so. But if I don't add my voice, the devs will just assume that I'm off playing the game and having a fun time instead of posting on the forums.


The biggest problem I have, however, is the fact that I have played this character for nearly a year--had an account since day one--and the character I have played for so long is receiving so little credit for that time that I could reroll at this point and be right back where I am now before the old man would be ready to visit my current character. This is sickening.

Who should I hate?
The One-Click Jedi for the ease of his path?
The Elder for wanting his to be the only path?

well... yeah, but veterans have gotten almost NO rewards... what about the weaponsmith or chef who has supplied the community and grinders for a year or more? etc,...


I did 4 holos went silent... did 10 more profs for fun.. HATE grinding profs, always thought that was a unimaginative way of doing it... so i have 14 profs... like 90 badges, all the rebel stuff (im a colonel), the hermit, etc etc.. a veteran since 07/03.


I PLAYED... not mindless prof mastering... its cool, i dont begrudge those players either, everyone puts in a lotta time. But where is the reward for being a helper? mentoring noobs? Being a good person, NOT a punk? and also, the complete lack of response to the customers is very disheartening to me... I have been paying them for awhile now... They should at least answer the valid questions.. (mainly seems to be WHY some players seemingly less deserved are getting into the village ahead of others?) WHAT is the selection process exactly?


And when are they gonna balance out imp/rebel stuff? the ration is close to 1:1 on kettemoor, but the imps get great weapons and pets, rebels get nothing.. a spec force marine? come on...


ok im done bitching..

Unlocked what?


No, really. Had some silly message on my screen about a month ago saying my force sensitive abilities would be unlocked after publish 10. When is that?


Thanks in advance for a prompt reply.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....sorry, couldn't type that with a straight face.

HA HA HA HA, 81 pages and not one responce from a dev... and it is literaly growing by 2 pages every 5 min or so. There are alot of **edit** off people out there now.


I just hope this is a very small section of the overall community. If its as bad as it looks then this game will become unprofitable for SOE and will die. Could care less about being a Jedi, but would like to do the quests.. sounds like a blast. Ive contended from the begining that Jedi have no place in the game at this stage. That should have been a story line that was developed for several years.


Ohwell, I guess I'll grind out a BH... now the game is StarWars Jedi Bounty Wars oh and I guess if JTL actualy does come out then I guess we can call it StarWars Jedi Bounty Wars in space.


We had a guy in our guild today that was visited by the old man... 6 professions and maybe 50 badges and has been playing for only 3 months..... he was so excited he pi$$#8 his pants.


As for me, just under 100 Badges and 11 professions (managed to keep Smuggler since September of last year) and im glow but no visit yet.


Thanks for the Comedy.


WoW that was a little big and bright.. sorry about that. Didnt look at it after I posted it.

I know why they don't respond:

They stopped reading it when their eyes started to bleed and they lost their vision from all the moronic whining and "I'm gonna quit if I don't get my way" posts that've been nonstop for 81 pages.

The real reason is likely that no one has asked a single thing that they didn't already answer. Just because you don't like the answer, or have difficulty understanding/comprehending it, doesn't mean it wasn't answered.
