I just hope it is more detailed than the vague items we have heard so far.

I dont think so... that thread has been announced as a Request for Comments so I'd bet it would be like "What do you think about...?" or "what is the most important think we should implement?" and another already-answered questions like those


Hope I'm wrong

We are going to pay particular attection to the droid engineer class. This next ambiguious release date will have many new feature which may include one or more of the following possibly working:
+new droid chassis implemented with no module sockets
+new modules that do not fit in module sockets
+new modules and chassis that require otherwise impossible to find or unimplemented resources andanimal hideor milk
+new skills that may or may not be as useful as the Smuggler skill 'underworld'
+new modules with features that rival the best selling 'data module'

WHy do I feel a sense of dread creeping over me? Either they will just ask us to tell them what we want (ignoring the 6 months of posts doing exactly that) or they will tell us nothing (S.O.P. for S.O.E.), or they will tell us something with details and we will be aghast at how much it is NOTHING like what we want...


I haven't made a single droid, not ONE, in 2 weeks now.

Jedi will never be a starting profession...Looted items and quest items will never be better then crafted items, this is not a loot based game...CH will return shortly...CH and BE will not be back in game...Rangers are getting their revamp next!...The stealth system will not be changing in the spy expertise...Need any more examples of things the devs said that did not hold true?

Hey, now! Don't forget...the Devs know what's best for us and the profession!


Example of why this is true: They new exactly how to implement/release the CH profession and were able to figure out what was "best" for the game right off the bat!










oh....wait a minute.

Oh...and...

For those that feel I'm being overly cynical, pessimistic or unfair. (sorry for the 'preemptive strike'...but I knew that someone might cry "Foul!" on me.)


Have a look at my signature ("~ Beta 3 Tester: ") and tell me that I know not whereof I speak.

Okay...so, maybe it won't be today.

I'm sure we'll see some information by the time we have to, say, file our taxes.

April 15 2005 should be more than enough time for them, TK.

Virtanis,

You forgot to add...."to find our profession forum".

So, it would read: "April 15 2005 should be more than enough time for them <to find our profession forum>, TK."

Saddened by how very true all these statement are,

Wow, I remember when we were full of such hope and saw promise in our future.


I know that we are just trying to be realistic, but now we sound so defeated. Can't exactly blame us, since their track record hasn't proven anything different.


I pity the world without droids.
