To give Tiggs a newbie break. This is NOT a mii-publish this is just a patch. In the SIMs world this would be

The new fonts dies strain the eyes, you really need to reverse or have an option to revert it back.

hehe customization for vehicles? Whats the point? Most people go thru vehicles one or two a day. How about decreasing the decay rate so that people can enjoy some time for their customizations?
Why wouldn't you repair the vehicle, its a lot cheaper than buying a new one... I've had my same swoop since the release of vehicles (and never used the starport exploit) and haven't had any problems with keeping it repaired.
Anyway, back on topic, wasn't there supposed to be a new song for musicians and a musician quest in 10.2?
Same here. Well I had the same one until yesterday when I got incapped by a mottled wrix while checking my harvesters. The little bugger went on to disable my speederbike.

Yes, please, I'm glad we have the shadows back on the item and building names, but the shadows on all the fonts are nauseating :/
Can't you guys just put things back the way they were originally?
Also, I noticed today that the badge list has been cleaned up and the badges for the other 3 races are no longer on the "to get" list. What's the deal?
Probably not the place for this question, but I was wondering if quests can be redone after the phases cycle. For example, the medic quest to obtain the plant, could one wait the 3 months and re-take the quest and get another plant? I ask this notout ofgreed ( and I must add here that the dev that did this quest and the plant should get a raise it's actually approaching content and was enjoyable ) but for those poor souls who have had the misfortune to have killed their plants off.

The Borgle Bat Bet
Once there were three Borgle Bats. They lived in a cave surrounded by three castles. One night the borgle bats made a bet to see who could drink the most blood.
The first borgle bat comes home one night and has blood dripping off his fangs. The other two borgle bats are amazed and asked how much blood he had drunk. The first borgle bat said, "See that castle over there? I drank the blood of three people."
The second borgle bat goes out on his night and comes back with blood around his mouth. The other two borgle bats are astonished and ask how many people's blood had he drunk. The second borgle bat said, "See that castle over there. I drank the blood of five people."
The third borgle bat goes out on his night and comes back covered in blood. This was totally amazing to the other two borgle bats. They ask how much blood he drank. The 3rd borgle bat said, "See that castle over there?" and the other borgle bats nod. "Well," says the third borgle bat, "I didn't."
==News==
Corruption of Haven
City of Haven citizen, Doctor Eti Camaro was found dead in the Haven River two days ago. The official statement from Corsec states that the 44 year old Mon Calamari was executed with a point black shot to the back of the head. The motive is not yet clear, but rumour has it that Haven has seen a sharp increase in crime and racially motivated attacks on non-human species.
It's easy to think that maybe the streets of Haven were becoming more dangerous with the absence of its leaders, yet a little back research says that isn't exactly the case. Haven has been troubled for quite some time. Several months ago, Haven's Corrupt Mayor Crix, who loitered Haven funds to pay for his sexual vices, was pushed out of office to make way for who is now clearly known as the Corrupt Mayor Decimius Ebvaia. This leaves us with a few alarming questions, how far has that corruption spread? will the streets of Haven ever be a safe place to raise a family again?
Who was Deputy Da'nei?
In shocking news, Phoenix Law Enforcement Officer Deputy Da'nei was revealed to be a member of the so called Rebel Alliance. In a search of Da'nei's home, Imperial Security Beureau Officer Captain Ulfrsson uncovered a secret Rebel communications center within the basement of Deputy Da'nei's home. The basement communications center has now been secured by ISB agents and a thorough investigation into this shocking revelation is underway.
==Main Story==
Attack on Bestine a report submitted by Aurahli Keznik
Sirens interrupted my reverie, all those in the hospital looked around, what was happening? With in moments cries could be heard, a Storm trooper patrol thumped past the hospital on the 'quick march'. I will admit, I assumed with some of the recent tusken troubles, that it was tuskens attacking, still it was my duty to be there to provide medical assistance for those that would no doubt soon be in need. Picking up my field med kits I quickly gave my self the once over, meds, stimulants bone mend and my stabilization kit I was ready. I jogged quietly from the hospital heading for the disturbance by the Bazzar area.
I arrived and find much to my surprise I see a desert camouflaged unit of people taking fire from the Storm trooper unit I heard march past moments before. For moments the battle goes on, the fight seemed near equal, then local residents of bestine started coming to fight along side the Stormtroopers. Soon the desert unit was down, I took a few moments to see if there where any survivors, some where badly injured but not yet in the next realm. I pulled back one of the bothans clothing revealing the marks of a ranking system on his chest, right below a well known symbol, that of the Rebel Alliance! I have no chance to see to the bothans wounds, a imperial sergeant finishes his life with a pistol shot, as he does the other survivors. Tears can be heard from some in the crowd, folk pour out from the cantina to see what has happened, they are presented with fifteen or so dead Rebel commandos.
Before anyone has any real chance to take stock of what happened, the order of 'fire!' brings the whole area to a form of chaos that can only be found in battle. It can be clearly seen that a group of rebel troops have formed up by the Bazzar and are laying down fire. Stormtrooper and citizen alike join in countering the attack but soon further shuttles can be seen and heard landing on the hill by the Imperial base. Many more rebel troops can be seen climbing out ready for action, Bestine is indeed under attack. Within moments bestine is alight with laser fire and deafened with the screams and roars of people fighting not just for their town but for their very lives. As I stop to tend those that have fallen, I hear a sound I thought I would never hear, a destintive hum. A middle aged man dressed in mustard robes charges in to the fray with what could only be a lightsaber! The locals and what remains of the stormtroopers already being pushed back by the attack start to fall back taking tactical positions around the cloning center on the edge of town.
Tending the injured and dying left me safe from all but stray shots from either side, so I got a good view of several units of ATSTs as they came over the hill. They start removing the rebels by the dozen with uniform groups of heavy laser cannon fire, but they cannot take back the ground so lost. Eventually the rebels and the lightsaber user convert the ATSTs to so much scrap metal. There was a pause for but a moment as both sides took stock of their position, the comparative silence where then broken by the destintive sound of more ATSTs marching in formation from the imperial base. The rebels heard and felt the pounding of the earth, what I assumed to be a commander screams to his men that Victor must be captured! Several rebels including the man with the lightsaber run into the maze like streets of bestine. When the second wave of ATST's arrive the rebels fight to the last, but with more ATSTs on there way and a renewed assault from the local citizens they do fight to the last man.
What happened to the Rebels that escaped into Bestine no one is sure, it is known that Victor is safe and all the more determined to increase the imperial presence in Bestine.

Is there a chance any combat changes occurred?
I ask because I use polarmStun2 a lot, and the proportions in the past for the HAM pool seem to have been like:
Health: 60%
Action: 30%
Mind: 10%
But as of today it is more like:
Health: 33%
Action: 33%
Mind: 33%
i mean cool if that's the case, i'm just curious if the numbers have been worked out better and it just was not mentioned...

Can't blame you Grim, this character limit in e-mails is getting dumb. All it's going to do is create more work cause now you have to send 2-emails out. Seems SOE is doing whatever they can to not get more servers to help with stability issues, that or just bad coding.
Btw, it seems it IS publish 10.2, from the patch thing when my files were getting patched... so Tiggs just posting whatever the Dev's tell her to...
Things have been getting REALLY sloppy lately.... something isn't right here...
How can it be that the shadows and stuff got fixed back, but now it's applied to the texts in chat.....
EDIT: Just another note, don't want to make a new post, BUT are there ACTUAL in-game testers? Because I know for a fact that if I was and I was getting PAID, I would NOT overlook things such as these....
EDIT2: BTW just wanted to add, I'm talking about in-game testers that work for SOE, not talking about the test center players. What upsets me the most is the fact the test center players are paying SOE to test it out for them, and finding all the bugs.. and when these bugs get through, I can't blame the test players for getting furious...
There needs to be imo 2 phases for in-game testers... the first one is where they test it out before it gets released on the test center, the 2nd one is to do a final clean-up after test center part on their own server to do a final check before it finally gets released on the live server...
