Very weak publish.....this does nothing for combat does nothing for anyone except DE....

Combat droids are a joke....

Waiting 10 minutes in a Starport is Joke as well

The SOE communication is a joke.....

But this joke cost all of us $15/month.....not very funny when you think of it.

Last month it was too much non-DE stuff, this month its too much DE stuff. Dev's can never make everyone happy and thats a fact

I'm not too bothered about the 10min wait for space travel I actually quite like having the break in play but that probably is just because I play the game too much.

have you guys even logged in to BRIA coronet on a saturday nite for the spam fest?? who really thought that adding functionality for spammers was a GOOD idea?? why did you waste dev time on adding to an existing problem!!!!!

i protest. i want the ability to have a function in my addignore that auto adds people using certain text strings i can define. but you waste time on making life MORE unpleasent for the users with friggen spambots!!!!

i cant beleive how mad im getting when i realized what those bots are for and you guys spend time fixing cupa twitching.... sheeesh on a stick.

im sorry but i cant help but rant i am so mad about extra spammers and no way to stop it. its bad enough i get that crap in RL emails. i dont want to hear some dEwD spamming his bone armour for sale from both him AND his friggen bot.

gods what a dumb idea. i hope someone less upset than me can post on this topic.

Great Job......

Good Publish...

Anybody crying over the fact that you still have to wait 10 min for a shuttle isn't the right kind of person that should be playing this game anyways..... There are plenty of things to do while you wait for the shuttle:

- relax and smoke a cigarette (for smoker's only I guess)

- craft something in-game

- craft something out of game

- play with your children for 10 min. god knows ever since this game came out children all over the world have been getting ignored...

- smoke a joint (for smokers and non-smokers)

- get something to eat (I've probably lost 10 pounds so far cause I'm to busy killing stuff or crafting stuff)

- talk to another player in the game (not enough of that at the starports as it is... I've never been to a silent airport)

- give the diapers a rest and actually get off your butt and go to the washroom on your own.

There's a few things to keep in mind while you wait for your precious shuttle to arrive.

Thanks,

This attitude is why this game is losing subscribers left and right.... this is a GAME not life. It should be fun. It is pretty simple, paying customers have a lot of other options for spending their entertainment dollars. They are not going to continue paying to play "wait at the starport for an hour," especially when they only have a few hours to play.

The first MMORPG to understand that a MMORPG is a game and should be fun, will be the first MMORPG to go mainstream.

Starport waits are pointless and boring, and should be completely removed. If you are only doing the things you mentioned when you are forced to by the game, then I think it is you that has the problem. For the roleplayer types- if you are only able to roleplay because the game forces you to wait at a shuttle port, you should really consider if whether you really are a roleplayer and/or enjoy roleplaying...

It is simple: starport waits are pointless and are just another reason so many are cancelling. If the devs don't understand this, the people who have a duty to the shareholders of SOE should, and something should be done about it. Now.

spam module for droids BETTER NOT make it to live.

to me spam is harrassment.

i want a spam filter that i can use to designate text that auto ignores whomever or whatever triggers it.

Uh, what about the promissed fixes to the hermit badge quests?

Unfortunately, there were many technical issues involved with fixing the Hermit badge quests. I have rescheduled the fixes for the Hermit badge quests for Publish 9 now that we have a clearer idea of what is wrong and how much time it would take to fix them. Sometimes, things appear more simple on the surface than they really are once we figure out the problems and this turned out to be one of those times.

Any chance in getting some of the badges back into the game? Say the ones that were in before and removed (or broken)?

I am cool with you guys fixing the store "autoheal" trick on vehicles. but hope you also fixed the problem where you pay for the vehicle to be repaired, and the next time you pull it out, it is still broke. I paid 4 times to fix my vehicle for 1 repair. ( I also have had friends have the same issue)

It helps not to read in-development stuff if you know you can't handle not getting all ideas implemented.

Thanks forthe input everybody. I wanted to close this out and let you know what the final decision was. With Publish 8, shuttle times will be reduced to 5 minutes

For Staceport times, This will all changewith the GCW revamp. The GCW revamp visionincludes a great manydynamic world features. Basically, whichever side is winning the GCW determines the starport wait times. Addtionally, expect to see Smuggler NPCs that can go anywhere to anywhere."

Thats what either Runesaber or TH said in the thread about waits and Immersion. Now please just stop posting about it! It will happen with time.
