wont hose you guys. I just need this week and the beginning of next to get everything off on the right foot. January Publish Patch notes, Correspondent Issues, Correspondent maintenance (which includes choosing the new DE correspondent) and getting the new community communication plan off and running is on deck.
Why is even finding a new DE correspondent imperative at the moment? I would think that all the wonderful work Sintrosi did for the past many months, as well as the thousands of posts by DEs, would be enough for you to just go ahead and make the changes!It's really not hard to figure out what's wrong with the DE profession because 99% of what's there alreadyis broken!
I know complaining will not get things done any faster, as it's not like the players have any real say in development time, but come on, this is totally ridiculous. At least we have this forum to vent sometimes...
I will say however, that if the changes/fixes to DE that are suppose to be coming in the next big publish aren't well done, I'm totally done with this game and will cancel my account. I'd rather spend my $15 a month on other more interesting, exciting and bug-freegames.
Let's hope for the best! Believe me, I'm rootin' for ya!
wow more spin !
A new forums wiat for more then give us your idea? You got to be kidding you have had 7 months of players posting and re post to the devs dev's questions over and over .You know the same ones with a slight twist !
If I understand this you need time to create a new forum to gather more ideas? Hog wash! sounds like a anotehr old and tried delay

I promise we wont hose you guys. I just need this week and the beginning of next to get everything off on the right foot.

Once I post the Droid Invasion thread(s) in the In Development forum I hope to see everyone's ideas posted there. Also, once the new correspondent takes over, he or shewill be able to champion your causes in the development forum...
Drashk:
Please keep in Mind that the Correspondent Job is not only to give informations to the Player Base. His main job(in my point of view) is to make sure that bugs are fixed and problems resolved or answered that can't be by-design. And every profession has those problems (e.g. Damage Type of Rifles,Recurisve Clustered Moduls, No [Non-Loot]Milk available,BH-Droids,Doc-Buff remains after logout and login and so on ...). Jedi IS a profession that I'm sure/know has the same issues. Either a Jedi-Bug-eMail Adresses with Special Attention or a Correspondet. But why should have a Profession a special eMail-box when there exists a system that is already in place (Correspondets)
I think esp. DEs should understand that ,)
=> If for 3 Months in the Top 5 Issues of each Correspondent is NO Bug (if they are pushed monthly ... not afer 6 Months and after 4 it was fixed
) then you can say: Hell why need we a Jedi-Correspondent? There are even such simple but annoying bugs like login with Jedi Char and tell any person - get a reply - logout/disconnect with Jedi Char and login with Main Char - use /r and the Reply is sent to the Person that talked with the Jedi Char. Or that your Friend List Group+Description is cleared due creation of your Jedi Char and so on (great that 150 Descriptions are deleted ... 
). Just Basics that was implemented later and therefore are perhaps not in the testplans of the internal testers ... that will always happen => Perhaps those 2 Bugs are Multi-Player-Specific not Jedi - but you know who gets only 2 Players on a Server? (expect Test-Center ,) )
Bye,
Thogek
PS: But it was not good style to hijack this thread ... Sorry
Anyway...
Thanks for the response, Kurt. Must say though, I'm still skeptical about the timelines and what's in store. I'll believe it when it's built and chasing the cat around the house. In the meantime, keep that hose to yourself...

If you were an informed Jedi you would know that to have a Jedi Correspondents position is to go against everything that has been said about the DEV stance on Jedi. The DEVs will not give information out about the Jedi Profession and its abilities. Many times has this been stated and unless I miss my guess, may times will it be stated hence forth.I can tell you as a resident of the Test Center, the Jedi Profession has a lot of testing performed and has a lot of feedback made directly by the people that count in the developement of the profession. What people should be asking is why aren't other professions receiving the same kind of attention.

ROFLMAO... funny very funny.
I'm assuming he hasn't made the "Droid Invasion thread" as I can't find it. Yes?
Ho...
