Thread: Here they are, TC changes so far (all schematics available now!)
Ok, no need to get all "Angry Mob" on Drashk. He's had some personal issues and hardware issues in the past, and that may be the case now. He last posted a couple days ago, he really shouldn't have to be here every day. He's not paid for the job, and really has no obligation, other than a personal one, to be here.
That said, this is an important time for us DEs. So, Jenden or Javelin, if you see him on TC, would you be so kind as to point him back to the forums, so he can at least let us know he's still around?
Edit (after seeing Jenden's post): And there may be nothing to add to Sodan's proposal, but he could pop in here and let us know if the Devs have seen it or if he's forwarded to them, or the like.

A correspondents job is to be the community voice to the devs and the other way around, not to report on every little change with new patches. They weren't given correspondent terminals on TC so they could get info to report back to the players, they got them so they could recreate bugs for the developers. Could he be a bit more active on the forums, sure, but just remember, he's a paying player too. He already has to argue with the devs on our part (and from the few times we've all gotten to be correspondents for a bit we've seen he has been fighting for us), he shouldn't have to come back here and listen to players bitching at him too. He may feel there's nothing more to add to sodan's thread, there isn't really anything for him to add to this thread, and there's no point in posting for the sake of posting.
Sorry Jenden..thats rubbish. I never asked him to report on every little change to new patches.
If he doesnt think there is anything to add to Sodan's thread..then he should post a one liner..I agree with this thread. His name counts in the scheme of things..he could at least spare the time to just say yes (or no if he thinks no)
He is different, in his case it DOES matter if he posts for the sake of posting.
No comment is TH method? do you like that?

Dude he is not getting paid for that, because his title is correspondent doesnt mean that he has to listen to very thing people will ask him and if he is not on for a week or so its his choice, if you have any problems go to developers we know they will listen to you. Because other players are contributing more doent mean that he is doing something bad and let me repeat that one ore thing HE IS NOT GETTING PAIED FOR THAT. you can cry to developers not listennig to you.
Paid or not paid, he has a role
If he isn't up to it, then he should step down
If he has issues, he should tell us, maybe deputise.
If he has anything else that stops him posting, he should tell us, because from where I sit, the only voice between us and them is him, and we are in the middle of major changes. With no voice.
What is it about you yanks that you don't understand having a duty to people once you take on a role? Paid or not makes NO difference. Not one ounce of difference. Don't want to dedicate yourself, don't take it on. Thats how my charity work goes anyway.
Pah, its late and again I find people defending the indefensible..I'm sorry.
*edit* no way am I your's or anyone elses Dude. Sheesh. No respect.

Will the new repair-items fit in the schematics or not?
If answer = no THEN GOTO dev + /scream ~ easy fixed bug.
Seriously, if they don't fit it's a very easy bug to squash and if enough test-center people /BUG it then we might have a chance to get it.
Well I'm glad someone realizes that I'm around too, eventhough most of the stuff I find gets forwarded to Jendon and/or Drashk and I let them present it. The "big thing" I think he's working on is the Armor issue. It's a big concern for the majority of us and while the rest of us can twidle our thumbs and hope for the best, he's probably waiting on answers from the powers that be before he says something. I'd rather have the right answers than ones that could change later.

About the armor its not broken its another nerf because now the droids on live servers can kill any CL 10 pet with their medium 40% to all armor so that got nerfed sorry about that but it had to be done to keep it lvl 10 and with the ham experimentation it would be overpowered droid.
I've come to the same conclusion, what kept me from being sure about it before was that their system on TC made level 3 armor and up 40% resists, meaning making anything past level 3 was a waste. I couldn't believe they'd just cut out 3 modules from our profession, but it seems that there nerf on TC is bugged right now. making a droid with one level 3 armor module today got me a droid with 12% resists, but after I stored it and called it out again it had 40% resists. With 2 level 3 modules I got 20% resists untill stored, then again, 40%.
