Thread: Publish 6 release date...
So the increased delaymeans that decay upon PvP death will be removed like you said it was going to be? Or better yet, you decided to go ahead an remove decay from factional combat death?
Why so long for the wait?...
Sounds good. Still too many bugs being reported on the TC forum to make this weekend.
I'd rather have it more solid and working...
For the whinners about the Publish:
1) Smugglers still smugle, Imperials pull rank!
2) Neutrals should be penalized hard, they are potenial rebs and should be scanned more often. This will force people to choose sides.
3) Rebels should be forced overt if covert, same if imperial is pulling rank.
4) Imperial Squad leaders should be able to help squad they are leading avoid penalties. they are forced overt, squad gets TEF even if covert reb. (Note: Covert Reb should get Imp TEF-- other rebs might think they are a traitor)
This publish date comes asa surprise to me. It looks as if you're actually going to do a lot of QA with it and get rid of a lot of the bugs. Kudos to the devs this time.
Will this slight delay push back future publishes also?
There are still some concerns about the Imperial Crackdown:
1) In TH's post, he said covert rebels will be turned overt if scanned and detected. If this is true, doesn't that completely mess up Jedi? They are not able to talk to faction recruiters in order to go covert ever.
And the next two things really seem like the Imperial Crackdown is putting the cart before the horse.
2) Sliced guns are being scanned for, but you're not even letting us know if a gun has been sliced or not until Publish 7 (guys, this needs to be a hotfix type of issue, you cannot ask people to have any confidence in crafted goods if you're not going to disclose the penalties for using them that no one may be aware of).
3) Sliced armor is being scanned for, but every race but Humans NEED armor sliced in order to wear it effectively. We've been hearing a lot about a HAM rebalance, is this coming out at the same time, or should we assume that all alien races will receive penalties for armor?
The HAM rebalance, and the disclosure of things that have been sliced SHOULD be out at the same time or prior to their being penalties for wearing them. You're just going to upset customers doing things in this reverse order.
