Now isn't that progress.
BTW -- I see that the GCW revamp is Pub 11 and scheduled for March 2005. (However, the page is being updated so it may even be later)
Good one....

I like the new font, however some people are more sensitive than others. I think along with the skinning/theme we should be able to choose between a small number of fonts along with being able to choose to have the dropshadow enabled.

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.

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.....
Its not going to just effect My magazine and readers ... Guilds and such do send out big emails as well.
People who sent out the large emails before are simply going to send out two maximum size emails in future.
Tiggs has already contacted me ... shes been very friendly and cool about it and offered up some suggestions regarding putting it on the web and simply emailing the links out.

i logged in briefly before work and noticed that all belts and bandoliers now hover like some kind of space hula hoop around your character-- isntead of fitting snugly against your characters torso.
any ETA on a fix for this?

maybe it was missed in the in testing thread that brought this change 12 days ago (oddly closed without a dev comment), so I'll repeat myself one last time even though it may be too late.

Fixed drop shadow on many text elements. For example, system messages and player house signs.

You OVER-fixed the problem.
The drop shadows are not needed on interface menus or HUD interface windows, only text over objects in the world where players don't have the option of tweaking HUD settings or chat color settings to get a contrast they like.
Examples of places where these drop shadows don't belong / look awkward / are generally distracting:
- Login screen character names
- Radial Menus, Radar Zoom Indicator, /bug window and other interface parts that force heavy backgrounds or otherwise non-transparent backgrounds for text
- All other HUD text from the waypoint monitor to chat channels.. chat channels are particularly distracting to me at the moment because I use a relatively small chat text size and it leads to a lot of extra color. (besides, I already had a HUD opacity, chat color text and other settings set so I could read that text properly without the need for an outline.
System Messages and Player Signs and Character Names, and Pets in the wild are were these text shadows were needed so that you could read a white factory name over the yellow sands of tatooine... white UI text already shows up just fine over even a highly opaque HUD so the extra shading here is not needed.

I think its time you guys stop hiring people with f#%&ing GEDs to be your elite QA/Testers. I mean the more "mini publishes" (AKA Welcome to Beta)$#!T you add the more this game gets f#%&ed up. Come on, where is the improvement? WOW! We changed a single variable so that the paint on my swoop lasts longer but we can't analyze the code for half the profession bugs people are getting. I mean look at smuggler, the poor people have given it up more then a pretty boy in jail.
This ship sank, hit bottom, and now is nudging the Titanic for the winner in the category "Biggest screw up based on designer stupidity"
Mini-publish??? HAHAHA I am going to startnaming the action of answering my phone in my office as a "corporate project". Mini-publish used to mean something valuable wasadded, but I think that was in a different game cause we have yet to see it here. (BTW- Don't site vehicles/mounts since according to promises back in the day, they were due out at release)
I am already am betting on the failure of Jump to Lightspeed. After seeing the hard work on the village (a circle of rocks.... lets call its stonehedge and can we say "We hated the grind but we decided to require you to do it 100 times more now but with the same boring weapon), I have severe doubts that 1) the servers can handle it 2) that you will spend the time testing it 3) that you aren't rushing it out cause Lucasarts can't make money anymore on their own.
NightRaven (ingame)
"I have 2 boxes left to become an initiate and to think, I just don't don't give a$#!T enough to finish them anymore... its gotten to the point where getting a glow stick means re-installing Jedi Academy. I was hoping a long time ago to be a smuggler pistoleer but after seeing thatdual wieldiing pistols was just another figment of my imagination I had to give it up.... so what else is their in this game to keep me going? Jedi is the only higher level goal since most professions can be attained in a few days. Oh the humanity!"

I like the weapon change being shown in thecommand que.
When are we going to be seeing any changes to the vendor tent "issue" or is this going to be one of those "the system is working as intended". The issue I'm reffering to is not being able to transfer vendor tents with any vendors in them.
Please do something with the font, its driving me nuts!

I am sure that this has been posted, but to add my voice:
We were told that 10.1 was correspondent issues and 10.2 was some muscian enhancements. Why did that change? And more importantly, why were we not told?
As far as what we were told a month or so ago, 10.1 has not even occured on Test Center yet. What happened to your "improved" communication with us?
