awesome GCW ideas.

http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=GCW&message.id=87429

All these questions and not one goddamn answer. Problems and bugs being re-reported for months now, and no fix forthcoming.

Why don't you just call this "The Post Where We Pretend To Listen To Your Concerns"?

So ungodly frustrating.....

Good morning TH!

The community needs a one-stop-shop to view all currently acknowledged bugs and issues. We know you comb the boards, we know you gather info from the correspondents.It is my opinion thatthese forums are too cumbersometo adequatelymanage the volume of information involved in the player-dev communication process.

Right now, when a player has a consistent bug, they generally try to find the most appropriate board to post it on, start a new thread. As you know, typically, this turns into a rant and complaint thread that breeds animosity towards the devs, the game, and SOE. Players see that more and more other players are having the some problems, and we are given the impression that because the bug has not been fixed since the last time someone posted about it, it is neither being addressed nor acknowledged.

You shouldn't have to be in every forum every day hopping into every post about every bug every time a player posts about it. There are many more bugs than players. Therefore, what I see needs to be done is a different kind of tool. A tool that both the developers and players can view to see what bugs and issues have been ackowledged.

I'm not asking for the devs to provide more info on what they are working on. I'm not even asking them to provide a timely status update as to when and who is working on each bug, although that would be technically possible, and amazing.

All the players need is a place they can go to find a dynamic list of current acknowledged bugs and issues. We would feel better knowing that YOU every little thing we've reported. The only people who should be able to edit this document are Community Relations Management Team.

AT-ST Sounds - Please fix them. The blaster sound is WRONG.

Air-Brake Sound on vehicles - God this is so annoying, please remove.

Vehicle idling sounds - Noise Pollution

Republic Blaster - Sound also wrong.

While you are working on the Empire Striking Back (no put intended); perhaps it might be prudent to have some other NPC groups strike back at player cities too close toPOI sites andmessing withStar Wars continuity a bit. Example:

Fort Tusken Revolt: Tuskens plan massive and constant raids on cities very close to their fort.

Krayt Towns: Krayt's strike back at the town's infringing on their habitats.

Overt Rebel Towns Near Emperor's Retreat: Nuff Said

I guess you could always move the POI's, but hey when you play with fire you get burned and it might be fun to try and run an embattled town.

Hey Thunderheart, is there ANY chance you can make a post on the Jedi forum about who the new correspondent is? You made a post saying you were looking once and have since neglected the boards!

Now for the discussion, well, bullet points:

• Give the Jedi the attention they deserve, your silence is making you (SOE) look afool and totally incompitent. There is so many problems with the Jedi profession that need immediate fixing (AP bug) yet all you do is NERF the things that benefit the class.


• Explain how Haden Blackman can say Jedi are happy with the current system when the Jedi forum is filled with nothing but bug reports, complaints and disatisfied customers. That interview was nothing but a load of propagandistic bullmanure which has done nothing but infuriate your customers who know the truth.


• Why cant human males customise their face on character creation? Also, where has the option to change your 'age' appearance gone?


• When will we have the ability to remain anonymous? I dont live everyone adding me to their friends list and sending me tells as soon i log in asking for things. Remaining anonymous wouldnt work too well either though as they can simply send you a tell to see if youre online or not.


• I want an option to toggle badge display on or off. I dont want my character bio completely messed up with all these POI and class mastery badges.


• Can we have more information on the upcoming combat changes?


• Is the stacking of different classes melee/ranged defences going to be nerfed just like the dodge/counter/block was?


• and finally, GIVE THE JEDI SOME ATTENTION!!! (again)

When will vehicle poofing be fixed completly?

I have posted, bugged and pm'd a 100% reproducable bug that affects this and it is still ingame as of yesterday.

Here it is again.

Drive your vehicle through any archway and then after a few meters stop and get out and your vehicle will drive back on it's own through the archway and stop.

If you have travelled very far it poof's when you get off as the archway is far away (unless you have crossed a server boiudry when I believe it fixes itself.)

If you try and store it you are told it cannot be seen even if you are on it.

Last week One of the dev's posted that it poofing whilst your riding it has been fixed, this just isn't true.

Please give us some feedback on this.

I doubt this will get read, I hope a dev does. Her eis my idea for vendor caps:

I hear you all want to limit it to 150 items. I'll deal, though i'd prefer 200-250 items.

AND, this is big. Make the stock room able to hold 100-150 items you plan to sell. then have an "Add to stock" button, so you dont have to sell/withdraw an item to get it in there. that way, the player can have the items on sale, and keep overstock in the stockroom, for ease, to replace the sold items.

Load-killing returned to Tarquinas this weekend with an apparent bug in the shuttle overt/covert timer.

No feedback on the Tech Support forum on this issue. It matters.
