I think an important factor for the immediate future is rewarding players on the path to Jedi. Players on 20 to 30 profs should be close to Jedi in the new system.
Huh? You mean all those that have been patienly waiting a fix to thier profession since day 1 do not deserve anything? Jedi is such a small precentage (well growing by the hour as people cancel) why should people how have grinded 20-30 proferssion get anything thing over a master squad leader who has been waiting since month 1?
The game is broke on all levels SOE. I will believe SOE when I see it. everything to them is tenative save Jedi revamp and JTL. Even the corrospondent summit is tentative.

Eh. Quitting a game so they will fix it is just...stupid. They aren't going to change their schedule. And if you care enough about the game to cancel your account in order to fix the game...then you're most likely going to come back when they do fix the game. so basically, there's no such thing as "Quitting so SOE will fix the game".
Hey pal I got news for you: people aren't quitting SWG hoping the devs will react and start fixing things. People quit SWG because they can't take it anymore. There's plenty of new good games coming out soon, so why stick to a game that has been in beta mode fro a year now ? Most of the people that left reccently won't look back because SOE did the worst thing they could have done: they let down their customers with false expectations and lies. This shows how much they care about player's request.
All these cancelled accounts aren't a warning to the devs; theyare a proof that they failed, and better do something good soon because the game lives some really dark hours...

In light of TH's recently announcement of the CB being delayed again and more promises, I know a lot of you have responded back with "Yeah Sure, why should we believe anything TH or any other Dev has to say..."
Well...there has been something that has been privately discussed for some time now that I finally have permission to reveal it...There is going to be a Corresponent Summit...and best of all...it will be at SOE's Headquarters...
TH and the rest of SOE is going out of his way to showtheir determination at seeing us get the fixes we need for our Communities...So much so thattheyare flying us Correspondentsdown to Austin to discuss it face to face...and it won'twait untilafter JTL...it is tentatively scheduled for end of August...
The main point of this Summit will be to discuss, debate and refine the Combat Balance Master Plan...If all goes well, that means we'll be coming back with...dare I say it...specifics!!!! I will also make it a point to focus directly on all of those other issues that are important to us Commandos...
Personally I think this is a fantastic move on SOE's part...how many other online games out there would go to this degree to speak to it's consumer directly...I only wish I could take all my loyal Commandos with me, but I know you'll all be backing me up in spirit...
Remember, this is tentatively setfor theend of August...the date may change, but TH has said that IT WILL HAPPEN...Closer to that date I will work on refining the issues you all most want to me to drop directly on their desks...
By the end of the Summit, TH and the rest will understand why we say "Diehard Commandos Die Hard!!!"
If they have not listened to the correspondents by now and fixed what we asked for what will a summit do? This is crap! They told us back in December this was in development, TH said it himself, look below

TH
12/8/03
There is content in the works, GCW stuff, the combat revamp...

TH 12/23/03
I know a bunch of this is in development, but it really is . The combat system is being rebalanced and going forward, its important to get your critical issues to klawlegna so we can act on it. The big bottleneck is communication and after the holidays, a lot of this will be ironed out and smoother.
Instead of "fixing this" and "tweaking" that and ending up with a wobbly 4 legged table because so many number are over-tweaked, we are just revamping the system, but that takes longer.
************************************************************************
We are way beyond a summit!!! We need you to stop lying to us and do something, no more meetings, no more crap, just fixed what we have been asking to be fixed for months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
