I'm not sure that "angry" is the right word. Disappointed may be more like it.

I feel it necessary here to point out that I have every faith in Tk's abilities as correspondant and that he genuinely believes in and tries to get the most accurate info there possibly can be for us DE's.


Thanks for the vote of confidence. I keep trying my best to re-earn that confidence every day.

If TK tells me to hold on to these at least until the next publish then that is exactly what i'll do in the belief that our corr. will not let us down, but an unknown quantity such as 'sometime in the future' is not what I want to hear regarding something that shouldn't have been shafted in the first place.


The only reason I say this is that I simply do not know a thing about the real timetable. I've only reported it.
If I had a better timetable on this, I'd have surely given it. Seriously..I don't know if this will be 2 days, 2 weeks, 2 months or never. Since I don't know, I'd rather state that.

That being said, it seems that (for now) we are stuck with the Cluster situation as it stands. I've already put this on the short list. Hopefully that means movement on it sooner rather than later.

I'll let you know what I can, when I can...

Is this a guess that it can't easily be changed in the short term? Or have you received a response from the Dev's on the Correspondent Boards?

This to me is a bug. If I end up having to adapt to this new way I will but I won't like it.

---

I'll look at getting the labeling taken care of...

But I'd highly suggest that we not make them take time to undo this. There are reasons that I say that...

Knowing what I know now, I'd suggest that we all adapt to this (for now) and revisit it later if it's a long term problem.

I'll take your word for it TK. See faith is back!

Dyna are we in the SAME game? I been a DE since release of SWG.. So not sure where you are getting your info from. I only see back peddling and false promises being spread liek they did since release. OUR DARN profession has been broken since release and is still buged and broken...


Actually, in many ways, I'd say we are now better off than we were. True, there's still work to do...but we are getting better.

I never wanted the Utility Droids in the first place.


Hmmm...well, a whole lot of people do. Should we only be making combat droids? (I ask in all seriousness)


I knew this would happen... See if you followed since release eveyrone wanted COMBAT DROIDS, then one day not to long ago during the 5 - 21st of a month you were all were given a guided choice by your correspondent which I never agreed with... What guided response you ask? UTILITY DROIDS!!!


Well, I have followed since release (and, actually, for about a year in advance of that) and I thinkthis is a totallyfalse representation of what happened. People have been asking for utility droids forever. There are a TON of'utility' module ideas floated to back that up.

Yes...everyone wants combat droids. No one is arguing that.


You all were set up because that is what the DEVS were prepaired for...


Man, I'm sorry but, I respectfully submit that you don't really know whereof you speak here. The Devs were prepared to push forward with the Droid Handler thing (which was all about CL10+ droids). We put the kaibash on that be voting DH off the island.


They never were prepaired for the combat they can't even tell the difference between a R3 with 1700 ham getting killed in one shot from a TKM, Commando, Riffleman, Pistoleer, etc etc...


Uhhh....huh?


They specificaly said NEW DROIDS and NEW DROID MODULES on the PATCH NOTES...


Yes, they did. There were new droids added and new modules (and there will be more).

DO You see any new droids???


Yea, I've seen them. They laid me out but good on the Corellian Corvette. I understand they have also laid waste to quite a few cities too.


I do not..... Do you see any droid worth a crap?


I understand your frustration...but that kind of comment doesn't help. Also, I'm seeing actually quite good reports from people that are actually using their droids in various situation.

It may not be what YOU want...but a lot of people are getting (and seeing) benefits.


I do not!!! I only see inconvices..


Then don't buy a droid. If you dislike them so much, I guess you'll have to go find a BE pet that will soon get nerfed right down to the same level as our droids. Enjoy!


What I want to know is how the Imperials or the Rebels get a Rebel surgical droid with 6k ham when you do a mission. Then ours we make are only40-45ham......


Uhhhh...cause it's SOE's game and that's how it is (for now). If they look at balance metrics over time, this might change. They aren't going to do anything that will imbalance the game though, man...

You need to deal with that, I'm sorry.

I want to know your inside track, I want to know what the big secret is! I want to know what you are talkign about because right now all you pretty underlined words make no darn sense....


If could tell you, don't you think I would have by now?

I'm not going to speak out of turn and talk about things that may not occur. That's pretty much the exact reason that the Devs don't like to post here.

People take what they post and twist it a 1000 different ways, never stopping to think through what they are saying.

If you've really been following all this since launch, you've probably seen the way that I've tried to be a champion for the DE cause. If I say that we need to give the Devs some latitude and allow them to move forward, I say it because I think that we will all benefit from the outcome.

I don't think I'm gonna say anything like that anymore...I'm starting to understand why the Devs don't like to say much. It just turns into a "no win" situation, to be honest.

Virt,

I've already added this to the list of stuff that is of major DE community concern.

My current suggestion is simply to allow GSMs to be droppable into CCSC (Combat Cluster) slots. Problem solved.

No word yet on if this is possible, or a timetable, but I've already put it in front of them.


Don't destroy or sell any of that stuff until I know what's 'up' on this. You might still be okay if there is a hotfix (I say if only because I don't know).


I feel your pain, my brotha'...you know I do.

Wait, can't you already drop general socket modules into combat clusters? Or were you talking about allowing general socket clusters being dropped in combat cluster slots?

What I want to know is :

Who is the fool who is going through and 1 starring all TK's posts?

Jeez, some people couldn't see a good correspondant if he hit them between the eyes.

Methinks there are a lot of new DE's around these days, and it's since that happened that the 1 star stupidity started. (with due apology to those innocents who dont)

Before you say it TK, I know you don't pay attention to such silly things, but someone had to say it.
