I would personally like to know if any aknowledgement has been given by devs for the droid tracking issues with jedi.

Will Fencers ever be able to duel wield their weapons?

Yes, Fencers will be able to duel wield at some point. Probably after the Jump to Lightspeed.

Will Jedi be able to duel wield at some point too ?

I have to agree with the rest of the jedi population in response to our question. The new lightsaber system, damage, crystals, speed and force costs...horribly disappointing so far. Actually, the damage we are doing by comparison is pathetic at best.

Also, please do the jedi community a favor with the "behind the scenes" numbers, don't put some mystical % added we can't see what kind of damage we are even doing. We've been hearing about the combat revamp coming for about 4 or 5 months now (maybe longer) and it continually keeps getting pushed back and back. Incase it gets pushed back again in the future, it's a bad move to make to have something behind the scenes to your customers. Things change, schedules change, moves are made...it's happened before, it will happen again.

Thanks TH

I am quitting, I have not *quit*

I'm going to do my best for all the smugglers, get everything to the developers I can, so that when the revamp comes, hopefully the present correspondent will have an easier time, the developers wont be able to feign ignorance, and I'll pray smugglers get the best revamp ever.

I wont however, pay 15 a month till christmas or so (Whenever the revamp is) and talk about whether or not tool quality matters or not on slicing tools for the duration.

I wont leave the smugglers in the lurch, they deserve better than that. I'm not leaving till I've done everything I think I can. Could be a couple months before I finally hang it up, but I want to make sure everything is as good as possible before I do.

Consider it my 2 month warning... subject to change. As the jedi revamp wont keep me around, no sir.

I admire your honesty Caylin. I think we need more correspondants to adopt your line, the Devs have got to know how fcuked up this game is. I fear too many correspondants are only in the job for the bragging right not for what is best for the game.

/bow to Caylin

That's exactly what I do in my community...if you want your Correspondent to do the same, ask them...I'm sure they'd be happy to oblige...remember, TH only answers the questions he gets from the Correspondents...

Unfortunately this week wasa crazy week for questions...You have to take into account that TH, the other Devs, Programmers, etc are all gearing up for Fan Fest...TH practically made this post as he was running out the door...mistakes are bound to happen...and with everyone in travel mode, more detailed answers can be hard to come by...

And personally...after so many disappointments over so many months, I am very happy with the Commando Answer...It confirms that TH has been telling the truth that Commandos will see more then new formulas coming with the Combat Balance...

If you want more specific answers, push for more specific questions...TH doesn't make the answers up on his own, he only brings back the info he's allowed to pass along to us...If he was to pass along some new proposed idea that everyone loved, but the devs later decided to change, can you imagine the flame fest that would cause...so do you really have to question why TH and the Devs have to be vague in some cases?

This is not a slight on you at all Garvin as you have been there to help our profession. But TH has a vested interest in sorting out Commando because he plays one :-( This however does not apply to all professions.

I will say this, Garvin has done a spectacular job pushing for commandos. He has done incredibly well and I'll easily say he is one of the better correspondents I have ever seen on there. TH is just simply able to represent commandos that much better as Garvin does work very hard.

I don't think smugglers are dying to find out.. I think smuggler as a profession is dying out. If anyone would liek to check out the smuggler forum there are several threads of cancelling accounts and a rolling thread of those dropping smuggler or leaving game. Now that the smuggler revamp has been pushed POST JTL even though we have supposed had a "specifically assigned dev "greenmarine"" since September. I personally am dropping smuggler and many others are as well...goodluck to anyone finding a slicer anymore.

I wish that one of the quintesential star wars professions SMUGGLER was working...since it is something everyone is able to associate with star wars through HAN SOLO among others...

I don't disagree at all Caylin. I was just pointing out TH "understands" problems with Commnado far better than other professions.

Must be convinient to balance something against something else at least 4 months away. Makes sense. Really!

TH you still didnt answer the Ranger question so I will ask again: Which parts of the 'Outdoorsman' proposal might be possibly implemented? As of right now we have no role in the GCW other then harvesting.
