We plan on another mini-publish in 2 weeks...

so that means another good month before the next update goes to TC even

TH is it me or are your time tables lengthening so almost 2 months in b/t updates?

one month for a dungeon to be on TC is overkill imo......up to maybe the end of this week they'll have found everything theyre going to find for the most part....particularly because the just dont have the equipment/manpower to handle this thing 24/7 etc.

2 weeks is a waste of time

Too bad the wookiee armor is affected by the Stat Shifting Bug.

Can we get a ETA on the corvette? I'm kinda wondering why we have a rifle cert and no rifle :~

Would you rather have it the other way around?

Today we offer a sneak peak of the Corellian Corvette! This is the second of our mini-publishes that will go live in a few weeks.

In the last friday feature.

I dont know about everyone else, but with all the hype about the Corvette I was lead to believe that it would be out in the current mini-publish. If the Geon was the first, and the wookiee armor is the second, that would make the Corvette the third.

Thunderheart, it might be a good idea to make a post that the Corvette isnt live yet. Also you should put it in the Did You Know on the Launchpad. I already spent 20 minutes looking around in-game before I thought it was weird the corvette wasnt in the patch notes. Some people may be more confused than I was. (unlikely )

Maybe its just me, but I was sure it was going to be live today (the next mini-publish). Most people I talked to in-game thought the same way.

Just read the high-lighted sentence. It says second mini-publish, this is the first. It also says in a few weeks, this was from the Friday Feature from this past Friday, four days ago, not a few weeks ago.

So how were you and everyone else led to believe it was going to be out in todays mini-publish?

Boggels the mind.

I don't know how you guys missed the stat shifing bug. You must have a chimpanzee writing your test plans.

I am also experiancing the inability to accept missions. It seems to be able to be fixed by relogging but that is annoying. Any idea on how many months it will take to get that new bug fixed?

TH, So basically is what the devs are doing now is giving us our monthly publish over two months? This is getting kind of ridiculous, I do appreciate quality work but I have to give the devs a low score on timeliness. I know they changed them from monthly publishes to just calling them publish 7 or 8, but it seems you all are getting a little too relaxed on punctuality, at the rate you keep slowly delaying publishes by december the cycle will take 3 months. I know the devs hate to say dates because they never meet them, but at least when you set dates you were getting things done a little faster. Aim for the stars, at least you'll end up on cloud nine but right now the devs seem to not be aiming at all.

Whatever......i give up and am not going to pay attention to anything the Devs say anymore. It'll save me a headache.

Jesus Christ!!! You refer to ONE mini publish all along then the day you release it refer to it as the wookie armor mini publish. Make up your mind next time dont just say mini publish will be tomorrow when all along you have said the corvette is THE mini publish. Its not that hard.

I thought HAM was supposed to be balanced when we gave wookiees armor. These ppl are getting some real nice armor with low HAM cost.

So now Wookiees get armor and high HAM. Something is wrong here.

But I bet all the wookiees are happy.....

---

The armour doesn't match up to composite in resists and had vuln. to stun/elec/heat and cold. I'd say its fairly balanced.

what the **edit** is wrong with making a schedule and working to it, with REAL **edit**ing dates not 'in a few weeks' - I have run development teams for many years and letting them make their own schedule is a gaurenteed way to make sure very little gets delivered and what does is usually low quality. I read in one of the letters - a publish every month with a new dungeon 2 weeks after the publish - TH seems to be saying two weeks from now - which will be a month, correct, from the last publish.

really Dev's you need to take the pie outta your mouth, your thumb outta your ass and work harder. The corvette should be everything i have read from SOE/Devs/etc be live this week, CONFIRM this please

I find it so amazing how all of you can just complain non-stop no matter what.

Once this game is perfect you'll still find something to complain about. The devs work hard and they deserve some respect.

To the devs:

Great Work Team and Thanks for the Great Work!

Just for clarification, You're seeing stat shifting on newly created armor on live servers and not on stuff that was made on test when it first hit? For some reason I was under the impression they had addressed this on test, but I could be wrong.
