Thank you for the heads up ... It looks as if SOE is always striving for improvements ... I would much rather "Info subject to change" than no information at all.


Good job.

Yes I must also ask: will the late release of this publish likely offset the release of future publishes? Should we expect to see publish 7 float into March?






come on guys. surely you know what the game design, update, patches, and so forth are like. THEY TAKE TIME TO TRY TO GET IT RIGHT.


The next publishes are when they think they have it Right!

Woo!



Thanks! Now if something occurs that changes that date, it would be wise to let us know prior to thursdayafternoon in response to a 100 post thread titled "WHERE IS THE PATCH"or this will just backfire

Yay!
Does this push back the other publish dates?





Most likely yes, that 2 week vacation in december resulted in a 4 week delay which we will likely see conttinued until the devs next vacation.

First I want to that all of the SOE team, and Devs.


I know you all rarely get any praise for doing things right, and always get blamed for doing thing wrong.


99% of the people here have no clue the job you all have it developing and running something like this.


We may all get dissappointed with delays, and bugs...but I know you are all working on them as best you can.



The other thing is, I sometimes wonder how you all put up with the trash some of the childish people post on here. As if they could do a better job than you do.


I do not claim to have any clue to the amount of work that goes into this, but I know it has to be mind boggling.


Anyway, thank you for the good job, and the updates!


Keep up the Good Work!

Of course you know this will just come and bite you in the ass if some crash bug is found. I thank you for the info though.



BTW to everyone asking about publish dates. There are no monthly publishes anymore. They stopped calling them The Jan publish or December publish. They are publish 6 and 7 and 8.... 7 Will come out when it has been on TC for a long enough time to work out the bugs, not any sooner.

Great, I can take all the weapons out of the droid until that day.


Also gives me time to shop for a 'legal' FWG5 so I don't run around unarmed for fear that jackbooted thugs in white armor question me for defending myself against various obvious lawbreakers such as skaaks, meatlumps, swoopers, Valerians, and those twits hanging out around the cities on Rori.

Please , go play another game. You are either good, evil, or neutral. You cannot support the Empire or Alliance without involvement. Go Away.

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?



Not true. You don't have to wear the heaviest armor in the game. There are other types of armor besides composite. And every other type has less encumberance. You can also have the armor's encumberance experimented down at the price of a few % resistance. It's all give and take. The only reason the armor is so cumbersome is because it's very heavy and clunky to be able to absorb taht much damage. If you wear the most resistant armor, you pay the penalty.





Some of my pet peeve bugs:
•Armorsmith protection layers were not converted with the CU.
•Ship Details window does not close when you click "Travel" resulting in the message "You have lost the target. Closing interface."
