Thunderheart Spoketh:
Last Friday, I posted all of the Top 5 updates in the Correspondent forums and I am getting additional input and discussion from the correspondents so we can clear up an miscommunications and polish up the posts.
TH posted questions on the top five and I replied. We are going back and forth but so far there is nothing really to report. They are mainly asking for me to compile things like our bugs and modules ideas ..etc. into the correspondent board.
Thanks for the update Sintrosi.
Your reply is a little discouraging though. I had hoped they were further along in their agenda. 
Uhhhh....that doesn't sound good, to be honest.

Why do they need you compiling bugs when you can just point them to Gorantoth's thread?
Seriously, Sintrosi?!?
Did I really just hear you say that they are having you copy/paste over the same information that's been available since launch (and even before)?
....something stinks here, if you ask me. Sorry to sound jaded but I feel like I have a right to be (cause it's been earned).
/bow
Respectfully,
ROFL, Ok let me see if i have this straight. MORE COMPILEING OMFG, Thunder if i could only call you want i want to on these boards. If thats were we are you have absolutely 0 none notta credability what so ever. Your right you should go play the game, because you **edit** sure havent been doing your job.
Well at least my 6 months is coming up so i can add to the ranks leaving if they dont start living up to there promises.

You're **edit**ing kidding me. Almost December, and we're being asked the same **edit**ing questions they asked in AUGUST?
Time to take a break and drive down to Austin.

Well, it sounds like another round of business as usual 
. Thanks for the reply though!
The players who play Droid Engineers tend to be an intelligent bunch. We're techies, sci-fi guys, geeks, web masters, professionals, programmers, and all around nice guys. We're a resourceful lot as well. This (satirical) excerpt was acquired through the use of a bug placed in the SOE headquarters by an enterprising crew of Droid Engineer players. The following is a true discussion, in a galaxy far, far away.
TalkingHead: [stoically] Okay, I'm serious now... Share your problems with me....
DE Correspondent: [hope, glimmering] Where to begin?... hmmm.
TalkingHead: [smiling] How about we start with Protocol droids?
DE Correspondent: [surprised] Oh??! [smiling!] Okay... let's see... they need more functionality. They need to speak more. They could use more input/output communication features. We need to be able to name them. We need to....
TalkingHead: Woah, woah there! Let's start slowly... We gave them the ability to take tickets!
DE Correspondent: .......... what?
TalkingHead: [proudly] Tickets... you know, at the player city shuttleports?
DE Correspondent: [matter of factly] That only directly benefits player cities and politicians. All we provide is the currently lifeless Protocol hulk for *their* schematic. Do you mean to tell me...
TalkingHead: [checks off a list] Yep, we're including this as #1 in our fixes given to the Droid Engineering profession!
DE Correspondent: [jaw drops] um......
TalkingHead: [giddy with pride] Yep, we also gave you guys more experimentation. Now, Droid lovers everywhere can rest easy with their newly improved Probots... [boasting] which now have, on average, 1-2 more points in their HAM!!
DE Correspondent: [jaw, still hanging in the wind] uh.......
TalkingHead: [gallantly marking off #2 on his list] Aren't we making good progress?
DE Correspondent: [finally closing jaw] No, frankly we're not. [pause] What am I suppose to tell the DE's in our forums?
TalkingHead: [thinks for a moment] Hmm... good question. Try this one, it works for me: "The problems we face can't simply be 'hotfixed', they're more problematic than that".
DE Correspondent: [defiant] Even if I did tell them that, what about ETA on a substantive patch?
TalkingHead: [nodding] Good point... Fair enough, tell them we'll address all their problems after the Planetary Defense / Ion Cannon patch, which will happen after the Kuat Drive Yards patch, which will happen after the Space Expansion patch, which will happen after the PokeDex patch, which will happen after the Vehicles patch and the Creature Pet pass, which will happen after the.... **speaks endlessly about other professions**
DE Correspondent: [blank stare] .....
TalkingHead: [grinning handsomely] See, a solid timetable from which to tell your players!
DE Correspondent: [tears welling up] I think I need to go now....

Let me get this straight. After 4 months of nothing being done, a pathetic handout that was blatantly not thought out as a "Plan", a repeat of the same issues posted 5,000 times in threads, WE'RE DOING IT ALL OVER AGAIN?
And we're doing it two weeks after Thunderheart said he'd have answers to us? Which he decided to go play games instead of doing?
Ridiculous.
How do you stand it Sinostri? I'd have quit by now. It's obvious they're ignoring the correspondant system. I mean seriously, how many times do you have to submit the same **edit** thread? To not get it answered yet again?
Yes, I am actually speechless.Maybe if I could just get a single question answered it would help resolve the feeling of hopelessness and helplessness:
Why are the hundreds of posts already on the Galaxies DE Forums not sufficient to provide you with all the info you have, repeatedly over 4 months, asked for?
I also would like to know when we can expect some of the "Shared Information" that is being bantered around by Sintrosi and TH.
