Shoot, I don't know what category to post this nomination under since it could go under almost all of them.


Hmmmmmm


Well, OK then. This seems the most ironic..........


In the "Droid Engineers Are Still Waiting…" category, the nominations for best Developer post are:


Unfortunately I can't quote it, cause that Advanced Search feature is still full of bunk.


A few monthsago, one of the reds posted the 'current DE issues being finalized / currently in development / what ever you want to call the black hole'.


And just by coincidence, a thread posted by another/same red THREE months before covering'current DE issues being finalized / currently in development / what ever you want to call the black hole' , floated to the top of the DE or SWG forum.


Well guess what?


The list of new issues 'currently beingfinalized'were LINE FOR LINE, EXACTLY the same as the list of issues 'currently beingfinalized' postedTHREE months before that!!!!!



After I read it I just flipped off my computer and stared at the blank screen for the next hour or two instead of play the game.



(i don't need to mention that, if i COULD find the darn thread, todays list of new issues 'currently being finalized'would also be LINE FOR LINE, EXACTLY the same as the list of new issues posted several months ago which was LINE FOR LINE, EXACTLY the same as the previous list of new issues which was posted three months before that, which....................*sigh* i'm going to flip off my computer and stare at the blank screen now....................)








"When Sony and Lucas set out, we said, How can we do this and not make another EQ? We didn't want it to be all about Luke, or combat, or lock our players into a class. So we created a system that would allow players to switch professions during the game, and there would be a lot of gameplay around making that change. If you want to go from architect to scout we've created a system to make that happen."

Hey Virtanis, try this neat game I just made up:


Take all those nominations, mix them up, and then place them under ANY of the categories.



They all fit no matter where you put them!



HAHA!

Here is a nice pair:


"Players are smart and they talk to each other and what's happened is that players are exploiting the Creature Handler Skill Tree by taking ONLY the left-most two columns to get the pets and that's it."


And:


"SWG professions are not meant to be played is “Im a this and not that” or “Im a Warrior and not a Cleric”. SWG professions are meant to be mix and match. Pick what you want."

I've always been very avid about NOT reading message boards.. I don't remember where it came from, but Ive been this way for years. I only started reading the DE boards tonight because I've just finished grinding this profession out (got tired of the resource business), and wanted alittle insight on what to expect. Here comes the kicker.. and its actually pretty sad. I've had more fun tonight reading the DE boards, then I've had over the past month playing this game.


I can't remember the last time I've seen Dev's get this ripped apart by their own community.. This even makes AO's FunCom look like alter boys. Either way, this has been a very entertaining evening.. With the amount of content you guys dig up we could host an event like this on a nightly basis.. I almost feel sorry for the Dev's.. Almost!

I was inspired by the time that went into this post, so I utilized my L33t Photoshop skills and came up with a suitable Trophy



Unfortunately I can't seem to post pictures or links, so you'll have to copy this one into your browser to bring it up.

BRAVO!


I'm off to devise a more torturous form of punishment for myselfthan being a Droid Engineer. I've long since been dulled to the pain...
