There is really no discussions going on here. It all seems a one way communication. But if you care to discuss, here are some points.
1) Droid Engineer Changes for Publish 8??? Any??? What?
2) Is there any Database fix progress?
3) I know the Top 10 is your "part time" pet, but how about the "Official" Top 5? Any answers to those? If you are corresponding with correxpondents, how come you (not you TH but the proverbial SOE "you"), wont let them even say a peep about it? What is the point of this "communication" redsign if it only appears a one way street?

TH,
It's been almost a month now, and there has been absolutely no response from the Dev team on broken Jedi/BH missions. They were well known to be bugged prior to them being pushed out, and are full of exploits on both sides. They need to be addressed in some form or another. We need a detailed analysis of how missions are supposed to be working, and some kind of acknowledgement that they are going to be fixed from the tracking and griefing exploits.
Pretty Please

I agree... there is no point to these threads, nor is there any discussion going on. And even the handful of issues that are responded to, are hollow and empty... usually along the lines of ... i will check on it... sorry, thats the way it goes... etc..
Please bring back the discussion forum. At least that way, we can discuss things with other players, since there is no discussion coming from the dev's end.

Could you PLEASE make a statement to the community regarding the Jedi revamp?
Countless community members, including Arjun (the Jedi Correspondant), have been pleading for a little bit of information about what will be happening to the profession. PLEASE make a statement about the revamp, and what we can expect.
No one wants any spoilers or secerts here. We just want to know what we can expect, so that we can determine whether or not our efforts are in vain.
Giving this statement now will make your job easier! The rumors and concernes in the community will calm if you give us just a bit of info, and will leave you with less to sort through. Please, please address this.

Dont know if this is the right forum or not... But I thought Item decay was taken out of the game when you die in PVP to another player? Are you supposed to get decay or not?

ON ARMOR
Hello.
Is the team going to do anything about the fact that everycharacter (including Jedi) wears composite? What's the use of having all these neat types of armor whenonly onekind is used byan entire population (excluding Wooks)?
Each armor type should have strengths/weaknesses against the spectrum of damages inflicted in SWG. Current composite resistance capabilitiesare far superior to any other type of armor made. Is this how you want it?
Also, do you plan to make your upcoming death watch armor a big waste of time like RIS? Broken, shifting stats and loot camp madness?
Basically what I am asking is are you ever going to make armors like Padded, Mabari, RIS, Death Watch (Mandalorian?), Bone, and Ubese worth wearing or are you going to let the composite craze run its current course? Its kind of sad when everyone standing next tomy toonis wearing the same stuff, only in different colors.

There are other things that we can and will be doing, but they will take longer.

As an armorsmith with well over 200 "items" worth of resources, not to mention factory crates, looted components, etc...
I'd like to second this inquiry. I beleive that the item limits can be lived within for non-crafters (lived within, not "is right", it should still be higher) but this is extremely limiting for a crafter.
Idea for a solution... allow architects to make a specialized storage unit, that will only store resources. This item would take up more than one slot (5?) in a house, be limited to one per house, but would allow for the storage of up to 100-200 resources, depending on quality. no crates, no other items, only resources.

Great suggestion, this would be very helpful! Keep an eye on those waypoints though!

how about giving us the ability to have 2 characters per server instead of one. not everyone can afford to pay for 2 accounts i can't.

I am going to ask my questions in order of the statements from Holocron.
What is the "fuller solution"?
When can we expect to see it?
What "other things" have you done to deal with this issue and what is still to come?
So, can you please tell me and the community if and when you:

I agree, just change the name of the thread to weekly answers to safe questions. I realize some are busy but all these ideas that havent been backed up.
Thats why I am enjoying the heck out of CoH, it may not have crafting and what not, but they took a boring combat system and sprice it up with eye candy and its fun as hell.
We got creatures nerfed and........well thats it, because after 3 months of stating wait til combat revamp, wait til combat revamp, we get a uh, gee, were, not ready so we are going to ask YOU whats fun to play. that way if it sucks we can get it thrown in our faces, its what we wanted.
look at your numbers and see how many were eagerly waiting a combat change than jedi change?
And space? were all told to wait for e3, BIG SECRET, but we are your paying customers and yet we will get a peek the same time everybody else it. Good PR...
OK my rants over, going back to CoH now and save the innocent.
