Cloudgatherer, vehicles are a high priority than mounts in my book, however mounts are a step towards vehicles from a design side and are much easier to implement (they use a lot of existing resources). Mounts are scheduled for the next monthly update. Vehicles should be in the one after that. We need to crawl before we can run, or in this case, we need to ride mounts before we can drive vehicles.

Holo, et al.


I was unable to access the Mounts page, I got a access denied message.


"You don't have permission to access /player_mounts.jsp on this server."

*whimper* But what skill level do we need to make it a mount?


Am I looking cute enough yet, Q?

Yeah, I couldn't use the link on the main page, but the link that is in Q's first post in this thread works.

Anyone else having trouble accessing the friday feature? It's telling me access is forbidden. First problem I've ever had with any website.

I think this is great Q. Unfortunately the Ranters are driving the more even tempered players out of the forums. Thanks to you and your team for the cool new stuff.

Please see your local chef for pet food for your rides, we make everything from novice artisan pet food to master chef pet food.

Please be advised, food is not fit for human, or alien, consumption, as it seriously nerfs your stats.

PS. Looking forward to riding my Kaadu about.

LOL.


The bad URL on the main page is a microcosim of SOE's performance to date. Looks like they had it on a staging server, and had that URL until it replicated out to the web farm (if they are using this schema). If not, then someone needs to make sure to update your Webmaster and provide them with the correct URL.

"All of these are scheduled to be available in the next monthly update."


Huh? Will all of the bugs introduced by the past monthly updates be fixed by then? Will the bugs that have been there since beta and are yet to be openly addressed (let alone fixed) be patched by then?


Seriously, I can't believe there's even talk of another bigmonthly update so soon after the debacle.


I've wanted mounts from launch just like everyone else, but come on. Its just introducing a whole set of new code that may or may not have been properly tested first. What are we now, 0 for 3 on these big monthly updates now?


Oh well, its a great way to 'keep us on the hook' though and diffuse some community anger.


Just my opinion.

I hope you come out with Cupa mounts soon. There are just like Taun Taun's (sp?), only red.

I am given to understand that the vehicle/mount dev is also the Droid Engineer one.


Now, I think that mounts and vehicles are extrememly cool - but what does this mean for DE's getting some attention?


Thanks
