Please, take a few minutes and fill this out. It could do a lot of good for us. Give the devs a better picture of what we think. It doesn't take that long to fill out. It took me less then 5 minutes.
Purpose: To break down Publish 7 into specific parts and grade SOE on these parts in order to provide our correspondent solid numerical feedback that he can take to the Developers.
Method: Statements will be given. Grade how strongly you agree or disagree with each statement. If you strongly agree, select “5” and if you strongly disagree select a “1”. Each section will have numerous parts. Then you will be asked to grade each section’s smaller parts before you assign a grade for that section as a whole.
Section 1: Pre-Publish Communication
1.The developers did a good job in communicating to Droid Engineers (DE’s) what changes were going to be made.
2.The developers did a good job communicating to non-DE’s what changes were going to be made.
3.I (a DE) was surprised by what was in the publish when it went live.
4.The developers over hyped this publish for DE’s.
5.If there was less hype around this publish, expectations would have been lower and I would be satisfied with this publish.
6.I believe that much of the confusion over publish content is a result of the wallpaper put out by SOE days before the publish.
7.I get all my information on publishes from the profession boards.
8.I get all my information on publishes from the dev tracker.
9.I get all my information on publishes from test center boards.
10.I get all my information on publishes when it goes live.

Section 2: Combat Droid Changes:
11.The change to combat droids is a step in the right direction.

14.I am satisfied with droid max resist levels as they currently are (40% max).
15.I am satisfied with the current armor rating on combat droids (AR 0).
16.I am disappointed to have Astromechs/R-units that can engage in combat.

Sorry to stray but I can't help myself /sniff, Im'a just, well sad.
I just had a thought. All us DE's are choked right? We all feel decived right? We would all love to punish those who mislead us right? I mean we are the customers right? And most of us long hauler's are near burnt out......so.....
You always hear about folks saying "I am quiting the game! That's it ! I love star wars but I'm done! This game is bugged out and the Dev's don't listen". But honestly we all know (as we can smell our kind) that in the end, spazzing aside, we simply won't quit something that has so much potential and thatwe worked(and hoped)so hard at. SO how bout this. A realistic boy-cot ; WE ALL TAKE ONE PARTICULAR MONTH OFF. Thats right. We organise, chose a month and cancel our accounts for that single month. I mean Geez we could really use a break. All this dissapointment and endless anticipation is a wee bit frustrating for somthing we pay to do. I mean this sorta thing may really make em think and hit em (SOE)hard, in the only thing that matters to em, the pocket book. Class action boils and goils. You live in a democracy! Get into it! We can make a differance. Money talks.
PS I don't blame the Dev's. I mean they would love to double there staff. But that fact is the Exec's call the shots not the artists and craftsmen. The Dev's prolley hate giving us smoking mirrors as much as we hate receiving em.

Bump, because I don't want this to die without enough feedback from us to be un-ignoreable by the Devs.
