Thread: OUCH! THAT HURT!

I don't blame them for not posting here. I'm just hoping with the good deal of recent DE turnover the tone shifts a bit more positive as many of those who are always negative leave. Before I get bitched out, I've got nothing against arguments, nothing against debates, and nothing against a little fire under the devs to get things moving. Its the pointless and continuous rants and flames that are the problem.
The DEVs need to get some thicker hide. Ya, they would get flamed to hell even if they told up we were getting that "Grievious" droid thing from the clone wars cartoon... but their getting paid. They can take it. It's just words. This silent treatment is not accomplishing anything, either.
Thanks for the Schematics stuff BTW... I browse thru it now and then when I am at work and don't want to talk to anyone.
To be fair, you don't know what we have yet.

To be fair, this is because they never communicate with US like they do the ID. lol.
Only reason I can see is that they are affraid their programming is going to blow up in their faces, therefore they are trying to save it before hand.

If you read what he says, they are telling the image designers that their stuff is being delayed until after the main part of publish 8. (Remember, the main publish comes in, then a mini publish). Are you really complaining that TH is not coming in here to give you bad news? Perhaps TH does not have any bad news to give you?

I just wanted to stop by and let you folks what to expect. The Image Designer enhancements were pretty time consuming in terms of art, development and programming. A couple of the items in the list Kwee has been discussing were actually very intensive and to do them right, its going to take a little extra time.
So what we will be doing is an "Image Designer" mini-publish during the Publish 8 cycle. My best guess at this time is early May.

Improper context on your part or imprecision on mine. I meant, 'We wanted a little more info about what Publish 8 has." I do know what we have right now along those lines, and it's not much. 
By move on, I really just meant move on and build droids, blow stuff up, etc. Not go play some silly WoW fantasy game.
Well, that's a bad way to put it but you're basically right. They don't want to announce anything that they don't know is a lock to get to TC (and very likely to Live). I don't see the problem with that really. I'd prefer that to getting info on something that might get yanked cause it doesn't work out when they sit down to build the 'thing'.

I'm getting some good new info that I should likely be able to post soon (and am checking on the ETA to release to you all right now).

You don't understand that this is more communication to you guys from him than to the DE over the last 6 months. To worry about communication involving post Droid Invasion whilst in the midst thereof is illogical in my opinion.

I'm laying eyes on this for the first time myself and am working on an ETA for being able to get you that exact "more info" on what's coming.

I think you all will be quite pleased. It's not perfect...but no publish is....
There's some good sized stuff that you all will dig. I know I do, anyway.

Yay, we get Minerdroids

No! No! No! Your droids can now build sand castles. They will work like faction bases but with better defenses.
