Well keeping with TK's wishes to not post on his new thread,i will comment here

Does it seem to anyone else that from the developer comments that our profession has been abadoned for the time being. Oh we gave you DEs plenty of stuff in publish 7 (uhh you mean we can look with envy at the NPC droids) and more to come in publish 8 (exploding MSEs and a power meter), so now DEs are on the back burner.

Thats what it sounded like to me. TK you are my main man, i really appreciate all the work you do keeping us organized and moving fwd but why break more bad news NOW?

This quote sums up the Dev attitude toward DE:

TH: "With the name filter, thats a different issue. Pets are different than droids and with the way droids work, itsweeks ofwork and I just dont see that happening any time soon..."

Actually, this was more telling, IMO: I just dont see that happening any time soon...

Just copy-n-paste that as the answer to everything on the list... It'll save time.

It's not my intent to break bad news today.

It's my intent to get you real, actual official information and 'quotables'. To do my part to solve the "We never get information back" issue.

I'm getting official answers to Gorantoth's list. If the news is bad, it is...I'm also hoping to see some good news come from this as well.

My issue is to get communication going.

Good news, bad news....it's news. I don't know about the rest of you, but I like not fishing around in the dark and I like knowing what reasonable things we can ask for since obviously we can't get everything.

Your right it is news, we know you communicate with TH, but that doesn't mean you can release the info to us. We appreciate what you are doing, although I don't think we will be getting very many "It'll be a while"s.

Thank you TK

Personally, I think this is great. At least we're getting answers of SOME KIND for issues that have been sitting around since beta.

All the news that is fit to print, eh?

Do you deliverpapers in my area on Sunday's too?

All kidding aside, thanks for the update TK

I find it ironic and not a little bit sad that during a two-patch period where droid engineers were supposed to 'feel some love', they're willing to trot out the "it's too hard and will take up too much time" reply.

Weeks of work is complete nonsense, it's the typical answer from an IT department that doesn't want to do the job. This is fact people..I tell you from from within the industry..so dont let them pull the wool over your eyes.

Those with some history behind them as DE will also note this is the exact opposite argument TH once used, when he said the difficulty in X was that Pets and droids could not be differentiated.

The man is a liar or a fool...you can choose what you think.

I have told him myself, I would be ashamed to be him.

Harsh? yes Warranted? yes.
