Just add some bonus to pistol and unarmed combat to dirty fighting and have maneuver for both pistol and unarmed combat (you could just borrow some low skill maneuvers from TK). Then you just remove all drawbacks with spice, untill you have time to rework it in revamp, and give us something to slice beside locked containers (or just give us slicing exp when crafting slicing equipment).
Also I am very dissapointed that nothing have been done to control Jedi population, so they either behave or is forced into hiding to survive.
You should add a serious negativebonus (maybe like -10k exp and -10 FRS)to Jedi that start any combat with anyone but Dark Jedi, but should be allowed to defend themself without any loss. Dark Jedi on the other hand should getno exp from killing anyone but Jedi and Dark Jedi, and recieve a ridculous amount of loss when killed by another Dark Jedi while given a good bonus (the gain should be 1/10 the loss when killed by another dark Jedi)when killing another dark Jedi (they do live for that betrayal after all).
What's with the primary colors?

Forgot to add that you seriously should add a Emperial hunt of all Jedi. Any Jedi should be able to be TEFed when using force powers, light sabre or Jedi clothing,and when TEFed in cities a Imperial force should arive. As time go by the force becomes stronger and stronger, untill finaly Dart Vader shows up and give you a pleasant perma death.

Complaining on these boards isn't going to get the job done. A mass cancellation of accounts will.
I will complain until soe get the message, lock the thread , or fire the majority of their staff for incompetence.

AS SAID BY TH FROM THE ABOVE LINKED THREAD
What’s Ahead
To offset this very big announcement that will affect all of you, I will be immediately working with the correspondents and the community to develop a list of pre-combat balance fixes to get combat into a more enjoyable state. This will encompass many items planned for the Combat Balance, and will happen in a steady stream between now and JTL. The Combat Medic and Bounty Hunter changes that are coming in Publish 9.1 are the first of these efforts.
Between now and JTL is where I come in. Right out of the gate, I’ll be working with the community to develop plans for the Combat Balance and post them on the site; we’ll do a few features and I will continue to post updates. Later we will do the same for the GCW, the Squad Leader Revamp and all of the community issues on the table. In this, we can marry community expectations and development goals in a way that has never been done before with online games.

Imagine a Doctor coming to you and saying you need a major operation in order for your life to be back to normal. But instead of committing to the operation, he'd rather just use bandaids and painkillers because he lacks the staff at the moment to make you better. In the mean time, you're constantly in pain and for the most part...BROKEN.
This explaination is unexcusable!! Because SOE doesn't want to spend anymoney on a larger staff to fix the game, they'd rather leave it broken and patch it up so they can make more money on their "future" expansion. How actually is this catering to our needs?!?!

I don't think this matters and thereis no need to announce your departure as for everyone that leaves 5 new join.
Peace out and have fun, you wont find any better MMO I played them all this by far beats them all HANDS DOWN. Don't argue it! Just suck it up or die.

Why SOE don't care about this thread... And why do you vast your time here :
At the moment, this thread count about a thousand posts, but all we know there is not far than half a million accounts suscribed to SWG. If all we cancel account, therewould alway be 499 000 players paying for this game. SOE loose 0,2% of is audience. Do you really thing that SW geeks would cancel ???
If SOE decide to employ 8 more developpers to satisfy the 0,2% audience who use official board, it would loose more benefits thanit would win.
Another thing really interesting :all of us know that casual players, those who never come to the official board to cry, wait for JTL because, they are casual, and this is an easy feature to deal with, not like PvP who is elitist, or combatbalance finessthat they don't understand.Also, they is a lot of old suscribers waiting for JTL, waiting to come back.
Casuals are upset to see Jedi, ok, path to the FS will become mysterious, in the same fashion that Mandalorian is mysterious, it means innaccessible.
Last thing patch are free, not JTL.
If you disagree SOE economic management, your only way to act is to cancel.

I'mgonna tell you what I thinkin French due to the fact that SOE obviously doesn't understand English and you treat your customers worse than a European Pigeon crapping on a boy. (/shrug)
Depuis le début toutes les personnes paient pour une Beta version et au final je trouve ça vraiment scandaleuxde se foutre autant de la gueule du monde, de plus se permettre de faire des annonces et des plannings alors que l'on sait pertinament que vous ne tiendrais pas vos objectifs peu être considéré comme de la publicité mensongère.
I'm normally a very patient person but being force fed a Beta version game while paying for a final release is scandalous and extremely poor customer service to announce changes that aren't pertinent to the current game when your objectives should be to have some consideration to your public......er....buddy.
Voilà à ce rythme je pense que vous n'aurais bientot plus grand monde sur votre MMO.
See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya. I'm leaving for a much better MMO.

What he said...... I think
Double damnation! I need to reply faster.
Not only that, I roughly understood what he said too I think.
First sentence is about how some Europeans had enough of the crap they're telling us. Then it goes on about how we have to pay for beta and how SOE has the gall to abandon its plans or something. Last sentence is about not being the greatest MMO in the world.
Inconceivable! You did it again.
