At this rate, the next FF is going to be...

TADA!!!

"The complete guide on the mating rituals of the chuba."

Or something equally useful...

When you look for information about a profession you go to the specific forum and read the stickies... no need for useless friday features about this topic.

I'd like to see Astromech Stats about professions... now THAT would be interesting!

Interesting to some,yet completely useless to all. What is the fascination with Astromech Stats? They in no way contribute to or improve anyone's gameplay.They are like bathroom or coffee table reading...they pass a few minutes time but have very little inherent value.

I agree that a rundown on the new vet rewards would have been much better. A Friday Feature doesn't have to be fancy or flashy (takingtime away from much-needed development work) but it should be something that is informative AND useful to the entire community. Recyclingplayer-made game guides which are already stickied in the appropriate forums (regardless of how well done they are) is pretty lame.

This is not a flame to the guide's author...the guide itself seems great. It just is not really an appropriate choice for a FF. Tell us about the NEW stuff going on in-game, or what is supposedly up-coming...information we don't have ready accessto. THAT is what 90% (I cannot quantify that percentage ) of the players want to see from a Friday Feature.

Also, why reference the Home Show in this? I assumed there was something new there, but it hasn't been updated in a month. GarVa used to be all over it, but it seems (much like Tuesday Tips and Friday Features) to be a very low priority item now. I would rather see the Development Team hard at work on new content than spending time on the "extras" like FF's and such, but the reality is that SOE hires people whose job it is to take care of this stuff. The Director of Community Relations' primary job is Community Relations stuff, not coding. To think otherwise is like thinking that a garage could fix more cars if the clerk at the front desk didn't waste so much time talking to customers and answering the phone...the clerk's job is not to be a mechanic!

umm, i don't mean to jump this bandwagon but wouldn't this Friday Feature be better suited for the Tuesday Tip

which btw was missed last week, any bets on this is what the missed tuesday tip was going to be..

this isn't a feature, this is a Player Guide/Tip. which is what tuesday tip is for.

Thanks.

Dude did you read this post at all? No one is saying anything negative about this guide... BUT ITS NOT A FEATURE! Its a recycled guide that anyone to this point that wanted to read it... probly has already. All the devs did was say "We need a FF... instead of spending some time on one, we are going to spend all our times haveing meetings discussing the same thing every day. So look for a guide really quick... the Arc board is the first Profession board so get it from there."

And Wynn814 dont post that! Your giveing themammo for next week!!

wow the last 2 weeks have sucked.

Normally I don't post regarding these issues, but I finally had to say something.

THIS SUCKS.

I used to eagerly await the Friday feature, before the game was even released. Since I've returned after not playing for a year, the dev communication has dropped exponentially. We get PLAYER communication (The developers don’t care to write anything worthwhile, so they just link to something else), data that's been around the forums for years and worthless crap that just looks like a lazy attempt by the devs to put something up, regardless of how worthless it is.

For the last month the only worthwhile communication I've seen is through the actual game designers (Blix, Green Marine). How ironic, the people that are responsible for relaying information are just paid to sit around and say cute things "PAW OF APPROVAL" - ridiculous. I miss the days of Q-3P0 and Holocron.

It really took me a month of consistent crap for me to say something, it's just too much for me to handle.
