Thread: Shame on You, Thunderheart
DEs I feel your pain!
I cant relate to your issues from a DE's point of view but I can fully understand your frustration from a customers standpoint. I havelots of droids and constantly buy more just because I feel like its time for a change (like changing clothes) but it would be much more enjoyable from a customer's standpoint if they would fix some of this stuff. I will continue to support my favorite DE with new orders but some fixes sure would be nice. Especially the customization issue...geez..I drop 35k for a new R3 and three days later it needs new paint!? Come on! I dont mind paying a DE to paint it even, but there are better things I could be doing with my time than taking a mob of droids to my DE (Im sure he as better things to do also) to have them repainted. I dont disagree with the "faded customization" but a little more realistic time window would be greatly appreciated.

Aye Eutock - a post like yours is what we've been hoping to see from the devs for months. Nothing too difficult - just looking for some reassurance that our profession is going to get fixed.
Heck Iwould be so happy if they were able to make just one small change every week or two for us. For instance if they would change it so that droid deeds gave better descriptions of the droids abilities (so that I don't have to write 4 paragraphs for each inventory items) I wouldn't bitch for months.
But yes, a true 'plan' would be nice. They need to go back to the drawing board and pretend they never even posted this first try at it. You can't polish a turd - and even if you would only have a polished turd.
Very nice Eutock! I would have loved to see something like this from the devs long ago. Even if they did it now though, it wouldn't change my mind about quiting when I did. Today is my last day.
It was good to be around to see what "plan" the devs have in mind, and to know when to fold 'em.
From the proposed plan standpoint we got you can refer to my new thread for my real opinion on the proposed plan.
I can see it now...
Concentious DE shouts "I'm dueling a CH with his Gnarled Rancor Everyone please clear Random City1 I'm using my Kamikaze MSE he's got 50kilton's of nuclear warheads packed in there!"
Random Shout1 "Oh no not again I'm cloned in Random City2!"
Random Shout2 "Get on the shuttle quick!!!"
Dueled CH "Come on nerf the DE already he shouldn't be able to take out my Gnarled Rancor!"
Who else can see that with the way Sony has managed things so far?
