I sense a great disturbance in the force here


Raph Koster moved on a few months ago.


Job adverts for a Lead Engineer and a Lead QA Person recently.


TH gets promoted, needs a new lacy advert.


Q-3PO moves on to new projects, even though he has been on the quiet Assistant producer of this game for a while.


Big Hmmms from me on this delay !


Termoil I sense, good this is not

TH put a poll on the site asking us what WE want. Go with what the community wants. I did have a long post wrote out but like everything attached with this game I went to post it and the forums need maintenance so I lost it.

But back to the Poll.

1. Fix the Ground Based game
2. Enhance the GCW to be a proper war instead of play fights
3. Hope JTL pulls the cat out of the bag
4. Trust SOE's judgement on the way forward
5. It doesn't matter what we choose SOE muck it up anyway.

Please Garva do not close this as this is genuine.






wait hold the press


heres what we need


a simple poll

I know your type - you would rather whine and complain than take action. So get lost. At least then there will be less spam in Coronet. The game will be better without you.



Erm, are you just trying to make yourself feel better because you'll be with an empty server all to yourself? Go ahead. I don't ever want to browse these forums and see people like you complaining about empty vendors.

I've quit before, and I'll quit again. This time though, it's forever.

I can appreciate the fact that you guys want to do this right, but it is totally unfair to Creature Handlers who were already nerfed to the stone age as part of the beginning of this combat rebalance. We were assured that the rest of the professions and creatures would accordingly be dropped down as well. That hasn't happened for the most part. Now you are telling us that we need to wait even longer for you to adjust everyone else to our level and that is unacceptable. Crature Handlers should never have been whacked that hard unless the others were going to follow closely. This is extremely unfair and I hope you understand how frustrating this is.

Just and FYI...this may not mean a lot, but it does to me...


Ever since we Correspondents heard about the Delay, TH has gone out of his way to get as much details from us about what SOE can do from now until the CB launches to help our communities...He has been seriously energized and focused on collecting our issues and I'm confident that, even though the CB is delayed, we will see many good things coming soon, especially around Publish 11...


TH knew before posting this that it wouldn't be very popular...but I believe him when he says that, in the long run, it will be a good thing they made this move...


If Yoda can have patience turning Luke into a Jedi (pretty much ended his life it did)...I think we can have patience with the Devs making this game be everything it can and will be...






Yes some of us will be able to hold out yet again. This revamp is almost a YEAR delayed. I am just worried that by the time it comes out, it will be too little too late. Many people who were holding out for the CB are clicking that cancel button, and its a sad day when the promises that were made in February are again pushed back in July. It seems like they are shooting themselves by giving us "deadlines." I for one will try to hold out until January, but if there isn't significant change by then, I will follow the masses, and dissapear from SWG forever, and I feel that I am a very patient person, many are not.

grr.. im a jedi and i even think the jedi revamp first was way stupid. Nwo we have jedi **edit**ing on-line coming instead of star wars online. Thunderheart this time you let a lot of us down. I think you should go yell at the devs. OR wait weve been doing that forever. No more horse malarky thunder give us the truth. DO YOU EVER PLAN ON A REBALANCE OF COMBAT?

Are yo ualready late with pretty much everything.. yep.. Thanks.

Lets add content not more useless garbage.

I have. I've been going over the details, the history and the effect this announcementis having on the community for some time now. I've spent more than a couple of sleepless nights in the past couple of weeks thinking about this post. It's not easy for anyone involved.








I am sorry, this announcement is just not acceptable.


It would have been different if this has not been pushed back and pushed back and pushed back.


It would have been different if every other answer from the dev's was "It will be fixed in the CB".


SOE has broken it's word yet again and there is ABSOLUTELY no reason why any of us should believe the CB will ever get done. None, what-so-ever.


I am sorry, but you have just killed any hope of balanced PvP anytime in the near future.


You nerfed CH like 5 months ago and said: "it will be out of balance till we revamp combat". Well ... another 4 months?


Now we have JEDI's running around being "king-of-the-hill" with no hope of balancing this out. STOP all the other dev work and get back to business on the revamp.

Thunderheart,


I don't want to really lash out at you. You aren't a developer here. So please..don't take this as a personal attack.


I have been in this game since day 2. In its ups and its downs. I've crafted, I've ran a city, Helped run a guild, been a major PvP'er, ground some professions, killed a lot in PvE. And we still have a lot of the same problems we were facing last november when we first started hearing about the combat balance.


I wasn't happy when I heard that the Combat Balance was going to be after publish 10, but that was okay. It was finally coming. But now its pushed back, again. And now to who knows when. Not to be an ass, but your not even out of Beta for JTL. What if major problems come up? And its pushed back from Ocotober? Then we're forced to wait even longer for a combat balance that quite frankly is needed more than a kick butt expansion. Not only for the PvP'ers, but for PvE. What challenge is out there? Super Battle Droids? That's it? I would like to actually worry when a Nightsister starts attacking me, instead of laughing and walking away from anything.


You (being the devs) need to relook at this. This is gonna hurt you a lot pushing it back even farther. The communication we get is minimal and for the most part has been wait for the combat balance. Well we've waited. Stop asking us to wait more.

many people who play this game are interested in PvP and PvE combat, as well as completing objectives for their faction in the galactic civil war.


many of these people arent interested in being a jedi.


what should these people do while the jumptolightspeed expansion is being worked on?
