Thread: OK ABOUT THE GLOWY BUG
They've already commented on it. If it's not enough for you, then nothing will ever be enough. At least they said something about it. That's a step above their usual protocol of keeping quiet and then fixing something that was never broken in the first, leaving the original bug, then making things 5000% worse with another bug.

Because Tiggs has confirmed it was not a change in prerequistes but a bug and I passed it along to the community. She also has a post in the Dev Tracker to that affect as well.
Is there a link to that comment? Myself and a few others have been unable to find it.
Can wehave Tiggs or a Dev make a formal statement about this?

Hello,
I wanted to let you know we are investigating the loss of glowy status and monitoring this thread.
Can someone please tell me how this says anything more than they are aware of the situation (investigating)and monitoring the thread? That statement does not confirm a bug, nor does it confirm that this was not an intentional change. They have tried to pull fast ones before, in very recent history, and we know they were monitoring those threads as well, hence the rollback. I used to work in customer relations and we often used thephrase "we are investigating"when we knew full well what the situation was. I hear it all the time in politics as well.
Is there another public statement by Tiggs or a Developer that I am missing? Because that statement does not ease my concerns in regards to this issuein the least.
And no, I do not trust nor have faith. SOE's track record speaks for itself. Burn me once, shame on you. Burn me twice, shame on me.
well mr. know it all 
hehe
why dont they tell us that then, insted of agreeing that it is a Known Bug and that they ARE working on it ???
i think if this was some kinda secret nerf, that they would use some kinda other lame reason to it, then telling us its a bug.
we just gotta accept that its a bigger problem then they can fix in a few days, so sooner or later they will finde the sollution and fix it.
untill then we have to stick without cry cookies and wait

for all of you saying that it is a bug yadda yadda yadda, let me point you to them changing the amount of holo's you needed to unlock. it was a secret nerf that no one knew about til the cu came. so please dont say that it is a bug and it will be fixed. because for those of us around for that change know it isnt unusual for them to change requirements.

*rolleyes* Clicky for you
How gift wrapped do wish this to be?
They are following the threads and investigating from them, more people moaning and annoying then or pestering them causes time wasted by them in answering your incessant questions.
Leave them to do it, they might surprise you and fix it and if they do, say thank you and move on.

Because their Customer Service sucks eggs and hasn't a friggin clue, except to get tickets closed as soon as possible so their Performancetracking software says they're doing a "good job?"

See above post.
Customer Service is worthless. They just want to look good on their numbers report for their manager(s).

And besides, did a DEV post about your holo issues and say it was a bug and they're working on a fix?
Nope, they did not. The Devs kept their mouth shut - THAT'S when you should be worried and suspect stealth nerfs.
It's a bug, they'll fix it in a month or so. Maybe two.
/rant ok so in plain english/americain/insertlanuagehere this is what this thread is and will continure to be.
Is glowy bugged? ans: YES glowy is buged the /checkforcestatus command is bugged you cannot see your status anymore. and yes the devs know and are working on it but they have more important things to worry about like gameplay bugs and not "am i still strong in the force" bugs.
Can i still get glowy? ans: YES you can still get glowy currently your /check command will only display what you were before pub 19 and then the final "you have an inner glow. the force is with you"
Have the prerequisiated changed? ans: YES there are new content badges for the prereqs IE: kill the Katern in kashyykk or however you spell it and the Arena Champion badge. but the total badges and which ones have not changed.
Where is the old man? ans: SOMEWHERE he will show up eventually, for the guy who hasn't seen him in a week... check your badges make sure you got the ones you need. it takes no shorter than 48 hours to see the man and i haven't yet heard about longer than 4 days login at least one half hour before server reset to get the visit. if you timer has expiered you need to be loged on for one half hour to get the visit.
how do i know all this stuff? ans: i read the forums and play the game. i've been playing since initial game release and i got glowy last week and my visit from the old man 4 days later. the two sith followed after 24 hours. i died lost my crystal got a new visit 3 hours later then the sith came again 24 hours after i hid in a rebel base until my jedi friend showed up to help me to the village. i now have one branch unlocked and am about to learn ranged defense 1 on the enhanced reflexes tree (generic cheer number 3245) /endrant ok i'm ahppy now i hope this is helpful to anyone reading also if you would like to play with me i am Ishtar on the naritus server.
Today's announcement said it all for me. That these changes have been in development for over a year...

How about enough to at least disguise the stench of BS? After today's announcement, I cannot help but feel we have been beingintentionally mislead if not blatently lied to.
At least, I finally got the formal statement I have been asking for.
