Thread: Wookiee Armor mini-publish!! March 30th, 2004
Ok, 1st off I like the wookiee armor. just got some and put it on. it badly needs a skirt or something, maybe even let us wear the other wookiee clothes with it. other than that, I like it and am looking forward to the next set to come. and maybe add some better colors for us wookiees, please.
"so I might be misinformed/blind as i write"
Yeap, you are. This is maybe a bone equiv armor, forget about composite.

Wasnt the Corellian Corvette supposed to come out today?
No, next mini-publish.
So is it, or is it not 2 weeks from publish? We bet the farm on 2 weeks after pub 7, and now it's pushed back to an as yet undetermined date. Can we get a firm answer, or am I just missing something?

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.
Because the FIRST MINI-PUBLISH was the Geonosian dungeon.. Before you get all sanctimonious on us, be sure you're not wrong first.

How about thinking that the Geo cave mini publish was the first. There is no reason to tie the mini publishes to the regular publishes. With the exception of the code being dumped at the same time the mini publishes have almost nothing to do with the regular publishes. The mini publish could go on if the regular publish never happened. The Corvette has been on TC longer than people even knew about wookie armor and it went out first.
The stat shifting bug proves that it wasn't ready.

nvm...found the post...two more weeks-ish for the corvette. You know...how about making this a little clearer when you start publicizing the damn thing instead of leaving it to guesswork for the end user.
Bah. Can't edit my own post.
In addition, what led us to believe it would be in this publish was that TH and other devs have stated that the pattern will be monthly publish with a mini-publish 2 weeks after with new content like these dungeons. So, between the statement that there will be one mini-publish between major publishes and TH calling this the "mini-publish", it should be fairly obvious why people expected this today. The sheer number of people who got that impression should tell you something.
All that being said, I want it when it's ready, not before. I'm just saying that there was a poor job of managing expectations here. Unfortunately, managing expectations is somehting that SOE has really barely tried to do so far 
They released a patch that did more harm then good, just like publishes 1-3 which led to thousands of cancellations.
Good: Wookiee Armor (good for 5% of the game)
Bad: Borked missions (happening to 25%+ of the game)
jedi guardian 4444 still dont get apprentice exp and can't learn jedi master.
also the weapon slot armor hole still exists.
still palying on a beta game.
