*** 9.2 Update Notes ***
Crafting Quests
Located in Commercial Guild Halls located in static cities now have NPC contractors that can give out new crafting missions. There are mission difficulties of easy, challenging and difficult depending the skill boxes a player possesses. The rewards granted are some credits and a small experience point bonus associated with crafting the item. The goal of the implementation of the “Crafting Quests” is to provide our wide variety of crafting professions the chance to use/sell their otherwise obsolete items and wares, creating a market for novice and intermediate crafters in a market of masters.
Are these in yet?
There have been many reports that the NPC contractors can't be found in any of the Commercial Guild Halls.
Thanks for the head's up. They will be live tomorrow.
Ok, let me see if I have this straight. One of the key features of this "mini publish" somehow did'nt make it into the code that was pushed to live? Are you kidding me? On top of that we have a new CTD bug on what is a very common 'puter set-up?

Officer Bar Brady, I'd like to declare schenanigans on this Dev Team!
Do you remember saying this TH? "We are committed to not rushing our publishes to ensure they are high quality and to continued discussions with you for feedback on what is being worked on to improve the game."
"I am Jack's complete lack of surprise."

People do this all the time. I even got in the Wednesday Weekly Beta Update back in the day when I went to the forums to post how excited I was about a cool battle I fought. Yeah, that's an old example but I have mostly been posting my excitement off the official forums and on other forums these days... well back when I was having excitement. I haven't been having any lately. hehe. But the point is, if you look around the forums (especially galaxy forums), there are lots of people posting about the good times they had.
But not the majority. That doesn't mean that a majority of people aren't having fun, it means that they'd rather keep having fun than stop to post about having fun. I enjoy reading those "good time" posts, and I post them too. But all I'm saying is that most people are more inclined to postor write letters when they're angry, which is why the bulk of posts is and always will be negative.
I never said that positive posts don't happen. I only meant to say that they're rarer because, as Blackman said, the people having fun are in-game having fun.
A riddle:
Someof the people that play SWG post on the forums.
Most of the people that post on the forums are angry.
Using the above clues, which of the following statements is most true?
a) Most of the people that play SWG are angry.
b) Most of the people that are happy with the game do not post.
c) Most of the people that are angry with the game do post.
d) A and B
e) B and C
f) A and C
g) All of the above
h) None of the above
Personally, I think the answer is E, and I think that Mr. Blackman was addressing B specifically. That doesn't make the angry posts any less important, it just means that they don't necessarily reflect every opinion out there.

Unfortunately Kurt, you are going to make very little progress at restoring the forums as a positive place to exchange information until you step up and do some damage control. The damage to your organization's image done by the combination of significant mis-statements and inexcusably insulting commentary about this community by your representatives in other very public forums isn't just going to magically disappear.
Step up. You've got the Manager title now, so start leading. The deafening silence on critical issues over the last couple weeks is not leadership. You, Kevin and most especially Haden have got to come in here visibly for a few days and do more than offer a brief and very unconvincing mea culpa. You've got to answer questions directly, honestly and most importantly quickly to have any hope of restoring your credibility and your organization's image as people deserving of these customers' money.
Quit sidestepping, sir ... it is not making a constructive contribution to resolving the issues.
/agree
That one comment alone by "Mr. Sliver" pretty much destroyed much of my desire to provide constructive feedback. What the hell had I been doing in Beta? What are the purpose of these forums if not for feedback? That one casual dismissal...and my enthusiasm for helping build a better game was pretty nearly snuffed out entirely.
It's a good thing these forums are heavily moderated. Else I suspect you'd my comments written quite a bit more bluntly. I don't know. Probably something involving "Mr. Sliver" and the immoral, painful, and anatomically improbable things he could go and do now.
So. Yah.
