Well I chimed in pretty heavy on you TH on the most recent FF so the least I can do is accomidate you here.


As far as what else we want to see, it seems that the majority of the responses are astormech stats, the smugglers revamp and the SL revamp.


I know you said you are working on new astromech stats. With everything that you have on your plate plus compiling the stats, you have a heavy task there. It is always cool to see the game in a different light, such as numbers that the stats represent.


The poor smugglers do need the attention though. I have a few scoundrel friends that are being ever patient with the revamp. How they are doing it I have no idea so some info for them would be good.


The SL revamp and profession has such promise that it would be nice to see if there is anything in the works atm for it or if not, what the future plans are.


The space tours were indeed a great idea. How about planet tours? I have friends that have been playing a long long time that still don't know what attractions every planet has.


Also, it seems that the Fencers had something they were expecting as well so perhaps letting them in on what it was. Granted this would not be something the entire community would be able to use but it would still be gameplay related.


And that is kinda getting to my point. These should be anything GAME related. Stuff that we can look forward to in game. Astromech stats allow us to see what things are going on ingame to better allow us to understand the depth of the game. The revamps are pretty straight forward as to something we can look forward to ingame. Stuff like wallpaper are not actual ingame related items. If you want to give us stuff like the new wallpapers, great! I am all for new goodies I can add to my comp. Start a new feature for the wallpapers and stuff. But we as a community have come to expect ingameinformation from the FF's. Perhaps this is not as it was intended. Somaybe use this as a template for what you add to FF's in the future to keep in check from adding stuff, that from past experience, will get an exasperated response from your community.


We understand (for the most part anyway) that everyFF will not include CURB info. I think most of us accept and know this. But what is so frustrating from our view is that we keep being told "next week"... "next week" and then something like wallpapers hit and we lose it. It has been sooo long waiting for the CURB to actually hit that many are at their wits end. So unless you know absolutely that you will be able to have something about the CURB the next week, don't even mention it. But if you have even the smallest morsel of info regarding it, even if it is just a sentence or two, then post it. Even ifit is even something that small and is just added along with wallpapers, it will sate many. As you undoubtable know, the folks on the forums are sponges for info. Granted we may take those small sentences and turn then into speculation, rumors, grand ideas and what have you, but at least we will be occupied till you can post more.This willstart getting us off all of your backs and letting you get on with your job instead of dreading coming to these forums.


I hope this was polite and constructive enough. TH, I and most others know that your job is on the extreme opposite spectrum of easy. We are trying to be as patient as possible. Yeah this is just a game. However, if we didn't so vehemently demand or want info on the changes to the game, this would would show we all didn't really care about it. So even though we ride you all pretty hard, take heart in knowing that we only do so because we care about the game and that we want to see it succeed beyond all measure.


Thank you for your time,

How about new forum skins for each starter profession like they did with entertainer. This will need a part 2 like info on any type of profession upgrade *cough* smuggler *cough* or CU or i will be flamed until the end of time like the guy who asked for wallpaper.

There should be a constantly upgrading map of who controls what planet like how it is on Sony's Planetside website. This can be introduced as a friday feature then kept in its own section on the website.

Every Friday, we post a feature. The feature is an in depth tip, some screen shots of some up and coming game features, wallpaper and that sort of thing.


As it stands, everyone is eager to see a Friday Feature on Combat Upgrade. We do have some Combat Upgrade Features coming up, but they are not going to happen every Friday.


What I would like to know, is what sort of Friday Features would you be interested in outside of Combat Upgrade materials?


Thanks very much for your feedback.


Note: Please be polite and constructive.







I would like to see some features on the GCW...maybe talking about bases and why there are differences in the strength of the rebel/imperial npc's protecting them..


also population stats...stats in general about % of people that are rebel/imperial/nuet per server...stats about how much money is coming out of the system and how...sort of a followup to the past friday feature like that...maybe the stats on where stuff is built at on our servers...the one you did of the overhead map was really cool.
