There's a missing option in the current poll.


"Are you (and/or your friends) taking part in Nym's Scavenger Hunt?"


[x] No, I like scavenger hunts but can't participate because I'm not involved in a player city.

Hey TH,


I just wanted to get some feedback on the status of the Ranger profession. Are we getting a revamp anytime soon? If so, then great, but please revamp the squad leader profession as soon as possible. They are in great need of a revamp and deserve some attention. After that, I hope the developers will revamp theobsolete Ranger profession. We serve no purpose other than to gather animal resources now, and that really gets old. Thanks for your time.






Your friendly neighborhood Ranger,


Reyune

Would anyone else be happy if they added NO new content, but fixed all of the known bugs and worked on game balance with Publish 7?



How about it, TH? Could we have an entire Publish devoted to nothing but bug fixes and game balance? That seems to be what everyone is calling for, anyway.











This is the best post I have seen in all eight months of this game. Please do this.




I think everyone would be happy for a "Bug Hunt" pass.


Leave the balance issues alone for a patch, and instead simply fix the broken content, from regular SEA's the "new" themepark loot spawning with skill modsthat haven't been in the game since betato finally nailing down theproblem that makes us have to open the radial menus on pets twice before they update the options.


This may be slightly difficult since I think manybugs aren'tfixed because they are awaiting other revamps - for instancefixinga professionsspecials before the combat balance - but there are plenty of "clean-up" bugs to occupy an entire patch; this would be especially true if it included something like the Battlefield fixes as well. Those aren't a priority because no one used them in the first place - but could be a lot of fun if implemented properly.

TH, i would like for a statement from the Sony teamconcerning the legalityofpeople hooking krayts to game geometry (heavy harvesters, etc...) so as to render the beast unable to attack the people who get it stuck. I feel that most krayt loot in this game is acquired through kills using this method, and to me, cheapens the experience of killing a krayt the honest way very greatly.

I must strongly agree with the above posts. Fix ALL the bugs currently in the game before releasing any new content or revamps. These bugs are all in the core systems and therefore harm any new content unleashed. The priority of the bug fixes should be:


1: Buff timers not cancelling which does not allow re-buffing for hours


2: Auto-storing of vehicles/pets


3: Skill tapes, armor enhancements



People, please add bugs to this list so we can make it easier for devs to find all the bugs posted.

Reposted idea:

I had this great idea tonight when I was drinking some beers (and y'know maybe it's not so great but here it is) don't you all think it would be cool if there was a contest for a best sreenshot of Bria and the winner's screenshot was made into a painting that players could use, like the grunda or Endor painting?It could be like the screenshot of the day, minus the heavy emphasis on Jedi. I don't know, I just think it would be really cool if there was some kind of player contest that resulted in somthing cool like a painting. I mean there seems to be a huge demand for paintings considering there are people who are paying inasane amounts of money for painting schematics that can be bought. Anyways, responses for my screenshot idea?

I have been hit for 12k damage from an advanced strafe, 10 times in a row from a warlord.
Secondly. They still agro through walls, 50m of dirt, 3 buildings.





I've seen this myself, and it works both ways. You can have it done to you if you're surrounded by monsters or corpses, you can do it to a single target if he's surrounded by monsters or corpses. It works with strafe, adv strafe, pointblankarea1, flamecone1, and flurry to my knowledge.
It's pretty obvious that the loop isn't iterating properly. It counts the variable correctly but then iterates the proper number of times without stepping through the array to each member.

On Last Weeks thread Thunderheart specifically said that there was a key piece many jedi-wannabes are missing. I quote from last week "dicussion"


"It has NOT been changed, though there is an important piece of the puzzle that isn't realized by most players...

I may be able to post on that, but I dont know yet. I've lodged a request and thats the best I can do."

http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=in_live&message.id=6292#M6292


Please quit dodging the subject and atleast address this issue. I also encourage fellow board members to not let Thunderheart say something like this and try to seem like he didn't notice it. Either say what is supposed to be said or say you're not allowed to. Ignoring the issue only angers the comunity.

Answers - to the Jedi issue, to the vehicle autostore bug, please. Or is Weekly Roundtable Discussion just another place for the players to let off steam and let them think their concerns are being handled?

I have been a Wookiee since sometime near the end of August and have for the most part enjoyed this game tremndously.

I originally started out in a crafting profession and enjoyed that until I reached master and found out that the quality of resources available made my items equal to that of non masters so after much frustration I dropped the WS profession.

Since then I have taken up Commando and have found renew enjoyment in the game. However there is one LARGE draw back. I HAVE NO ARMOR. I GET OWNED ALMOST NIGHTLY. I am not asking for armor like other players wear. I am asking for something that is unique to Wookiees alone and I am content with a special Wookiee only beefed up PSG that actually works and is comparable to the armor worn by all the other races.

Listen, lets keep things like Lucas intended, Wookiees were feared and respected in the movies. In this game Wookiees become the first target in any PVP. We are the least feared and respected race in the SWG universe. I for one do not think George Lucas had this in mind when he originally wrote the Star Wars story line.

While keeping everything completely in harmony with the original story line is not possible with the introduction of Jedi it would seem reasonable to keep the races balanced like the story line has them.

All we are asking for is something to give us even footing and more importantly we are asking for some response and not to be ignored.

Whatever happened to the CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT!......We desrve to have an answer and we deserve to have acknowledgement of the problem and that you are working on a solution. It is completely unacceptable for you to continue to ignore us and the balance that needs to be brought to this game.
