I have, thus far, enjoyed paying $15/mo to participate in the public beta of this new game called Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided.
When do you expect to have it finished and ready to ship?
I can't wait to play the final version!

Pre Balance change #1
Disable Jedi.
Period.
There are no Jedi in the time frame of Star Wars Galaxies.
Get rid of them.
Don't you see? Jedi Are the combat Balance...Think about it...Release the Jedi revamp, remove the Hologrind and make it a quest...Even those that didn't want to be a Jedi (Which, TH, is about 90% of the people that actually wanted a "Star Wars Experience") will do the quest because a) It's something else to do while waiting for the combat balance and b) You're totally ineffective unless you are a Jedi.
So we have 1 Combat Profession....Jedi....There you go, Combat Balance...How more balanced could you get it?

I read this and dissapointment just cant explain the feeling, a pain in my stomach is about all I can feel having paid for a monthly service that still is not ready, and will not be ready for "fun" play till next year ....even tho it should have been expected that adelay was coming. 
Im tired ... tired of thinking it will get better but it wont .... tired of reading statements that cant be carried out .... tired of paying for something that isnt fun anymore .... tired of 32 other professions not being noticed by the development team ... tired of looking at SWG game ad and in flashy letters states " Become a Jedi Knight " ... tired of hearing aboutan expansionwhen the first game isnt done ... And most of all tired of paying SOE for something that I dont think they will ever deliver
Im tired and I quit

Ok, I've been here since Day 1, and while I'm a little disappointed, I can see why you're doing it. I would like to make a few suggestions as far as what I'd like to be fixed during this gap:
- Fix the Dantooine Lag. It's a huge game stopper for a lot of us who live, shop, craft, and fight there. It's really, really, REALLY, horrible at peak hours.
- Fix thedynamic spawns. Yes, there's still random spawns, but not anywhere near what it used to be. Going to Dathomir and Endor used to be tough. We'd have to fight out way through a huge number of mobs, or move very slowly with Mask Scent up. It was fun, now the planets seem barren.
- Remove disease from PvP.
- Add stun protection to the base value of Composite Armor so that certain professions don't have the upper hand. This will be a big "balance" in that people with Stun Weapons aren't the huge killers that they are now, and would make PvP last longer.
- Make the cap on Armor 70% or lower, and make it retroactive.
- Give smugglers the ability to chose if they want to slice for speed, damage, effectiveness, or encumbrance.
- Take out Center of Being, or add something for Ranged Professions.

I think many people dont get the point here. People are whining about them hurrying it up.
Thats not the case
The case is how can SOE put jedi trials infront of something that is a major issue, and the combat balance is a need and a priority, I dont understand why its on the bottom of the list, probably even lower then all the little gitty bugs that are on low end of list, becuase to SOE they arnt a big deal and apparently they have no time to do anything about it.
SOE let Blizzards developement be a lesson and an example, my friend is in beta and the blizzard team is the best programmers that are commited to the game and actually take in feedback right away fix bugs right away and do things right almost all the time.
SOE is more experienced but apparently has not learned from the past. They are even makin more mistakes.

**My appologies for my last reposting of Thunderhearts post, cat jumped up in my lap as I was qouting****
Being a Jedi is not a big part of the Star Wars Experiance it is a part of the Galaxies Experiance. There is a major difference in that in the Star Wars Experiance Jedi just dont show up at shuttle ports, star ports, or anywhere in public due to the fact they would be shot on site. Jedi are over powered by stormtroopers and other imperial forces and are forced to reconize their mortality. The Galaxies Experiance gives many jedi a god like stature, with the freedom to walk openly without fear of any sort of "Imperial crackdown".Another question that concerns me is the newest speices that are to be released, It seems to me that Veterans of this game are going to be punished by subscribing to the game to earily for none of them are going to be able to make an ithorian or whatever you guys have planned, we are allowed at most two characters per server and that is if we open our force slot. What is going to occur when you release JTLS and your vet community is bent over the table due to poor planning on SOE/Lucas part?
In closing let us not confuse what world you have created with Star Wars, though you have Lucas permission to use his characters and his ideas you have so bastardized them that they no longer resemble the Star Wars people remember or love.
But that is just my opinion I could be wrong

I understand that and I've asked the mods to NOT delete anything unless it breaks our posted community policies.
As for 1 star bandits? I can't do anything about that.
sure you can just disable the star system it serves no purpose.
