lol... yeah, I know.


I have been here since day 5 or so, and working towards or being a DE since then.


So, no, not holding my breath... but still, would like this to be more than a drive by posting. If a dev would REALLY answer us, it would probably go a long way.


Of course, a real answer would entail commitment on their part...

I'm at the "I'll believe it when I see it" mode because they sure ain't gonna tell us about it.


In the mean time I'll just farm resources and work on my TKA alt.

Stick me.


In the next two publishes, after crackdown, we are focusing specifically on Droids. We plan on implementing combat droids (< level 10) in P7, and Utility Droids in P8.



My apologies for not posting here more often, it is a big game with alot of moving parts. And I am sorry if you are pissed as a group about my November quote, I hope I have explained, and I hope you understand, that thingschange.Your publish has been moved back one, and it is next.



You have all of our development attention now.

Been here...done this.


If/when I see information from a red-name on this profession forum that's worthy of even the tiniest amount of praise, you'll get it.


I have yet to see anything even marginally approaching this since the end of June last year.


You don't listen....sorry.

JustG,


While you are here can you answer a question?


DEs have proposed lots of new utility droid functions, many of which are "enhancement" functions. Ex: Slicing modules that give a bonus to slicing, crafting modules that give a bonus to experimentation, dancing modules that give a bonus to entertainment healing and buffing, etc.


TH, has continually posted on this issue, stating that we can't have modules like this to put in droids and sell because this is an "extra checker" that doesn't cost any skill points.


Shortly thereafter, the information about the Chef revamp came out, and Chefs got a bunch of foods that do the exact thing that TH told us the devs would never agree to because they are "extra checkers."


Why is this ok for chef foods, but not for DE modules? Droids require funds for people to buy, batteries to keep them running, and always have a danger of being destroyed after they are called... Considering how cheap food is, why isn't this balance enough for us to have "enhancement" droid modules?


We REALLY want droids that people will want and use, and enhancement is the only way we can have that... Why won't the devs consider enhancement modules for us?

Nice....someone one-starred me for telling the truth.


So much for "communication".

You know...it didn't used to be this way. The DE forums used to be among the most understanding and accepting of profession forums to be in.

You what ruined that?


Several months of being ignored and lack of information or even ANY information whatsoever.


So...we brought this on ourselves? I think not. This was earned by those than 'own' it.

Would you guys give the man a break, please?


I mean, geez, him replying to that today is one of the bravest things I've seen posted in a long time. Yeah, the focus of publish got changed, by SOE and Lucasarts. Not by JustG himself. I'm sure he is the servant, not the master.

Mightion,


I'm not talking about what's happened today...or in the last few days or weeks.

I'm talking about a pattern that's been in place for a VERY long time.

This is not some isolated incident.
