Thread: Friday Feature: December 10, 2004 Fan Sites
Nice! Contructive feedback. Now that's useful. Just complaining doesn't accomplish much, but offering alternatives is a good thing. Excellent.

Ideas for future Friday Features:
- Update on the Economy
- Update on Pilot professions
- % by server in each faction
- % by server by faction that have achieved master pilot
- Backstory on the new Krayt Fighter
- DWB stats
- Number of Jetpacks crafted on each server
- Number of pieces of mandalorian armor manufactured on each server
- Server populations (probably never happen)
- CURB update (probably won't happen until just ebfore beta)
- Giving us the textures pictures for the sorsub yacht
- Species breakdown by server (now that there are 2 new species)
- CSR tickets by server
These are just a few ideas. Please feel free to use any/all of them.
Definitely interesting. Let's hope to see this in the future...

Well go have fun then personally I want to PvP again so i need this information. I'm not a Jedi could care less about em i just want to be able to PvP again as a standard combat player. The CU holds the hope of whether i can look forward to playing this game in the future or if I will be forced to leave it. So yes i will rant, rave, yell, scream, cry, whine what ever anybody wants to call it until they start talking.Maybe one day soon they'll get the point if not you'll just have to continue to listen to people like me..... /emote hugs
Eh, you have a lot of good points too, don't get me wrong. If you mainly PvP I can understand how difficult it is to go so longwithoutinfo, since it's very hard to enjoy PvP the way it is. (especially with /warcry bugged - from what I hear)
It's not that terrible when people make a rational complaint like yours abovewithout calling the Devs morons or idiots or saying they are lazy or don't know how to code. Because really, there are surely parts of this game that we all enjoy or enjoyed at one time and they deserve credit for that.
No hard feelings. A /hug goes a long way. ![]()

I'm not sure what your policy is about this but many of the sites you listed in this article advertise buying SWG credits for real moneywith a 24/7 in-game delivery system. Did you realize this?

lol, you are SOE's perfect customer. The rest of us like to call them on their BS when they lie to us, dont fulfill promises, or just plain fail to listen. They continuously fail to figure out that this game belongs to us now. We dont like it, we dont play, it dies. Its that simple. We arent the ones that lied. We arent the ones that failed to follow Lucas' vision. We arent the ones that made a fist better than a blaster. We arent the ones that made a hammer better thana lightsaber. We arent the ones that made fire (mind fire DoT) the most dreaded weapon in a galaxy of faster than light travel and beam weapons. But hey, if you want to sing their praises, knock yourself out. But patting people on the back for a job poorly done IS NOT very productive and accomplishes nothing. You have the right not tocomplain andkiss butt, but it doesnt mean you should.
You also should not attack someone for saying they enjoy the game. I know there is a great deal of well-founded discontent, which is why the Devs are going through the whole Combat Upgrade thing and the loot revamp and everything else. I can guarantee you they are not BS'ing you about any of this, but it's on you whether you believe me or not. People want an excellent game and an excellent game takes time. As for the general lack of information being distributed is because they don't want people flipping out over a system that hasn't been totally fleshed out yet, something that will be done in the beta. As for how far along it is and the information the alpha testers and corrs know, I can't comment on but they've been working on it since Publish 9 so take a guess.
As for singing their praises, credit should definitely be given where credit is due. I've been playing WoW and enjoying many of its aspects, but it also makes me realize how good SWG is. And looking at SWG makes me realize how far MMOs have to gobut rest assured, they are getting there, one step at a time.
I didnt attack him for "enjoying" the game. If you read his first post he was chastising us for trying to get SOE to act like a company that is responsible to its customers. And frankly if you can enjoy JTL a month after release and SWG 1.5 years after release, with little IF any meaningful new content added, then SOE should hire you, because you ARE a miracle worker.
WoW is incredible and is a better game at release than SWG is after 1.5 years, especially content wise. And give WoW 1.5 years of further, well planned expansion and it will be an even more lop-sided comparison...meanwhile SWG will still be languishing in a sea of mediocrity.
Yes and many of us are passionate - because we love STAR WARS, NOT this game currently, but we want this game AND SOE to fufill its promise.

Maybe they're using all that creative energy working on the CU. Really, which would you rather have: a really nice Friday Feature or a game that works better?

Just wonder when the Frontal Lobatomies were all performed on the staff? It's the only reason I can think of for the lack of creativity recently.
Hey, I agree. So it would have been nice to throw us a bone and give us a little insight into whats going on with the *cough Upgrade. Don't know if I have missedany new announcementsbut their target date is looking like it ain't gonna happen as they haven't even announced when Closed Beta, that we all applied for, will start let alone open Beta. No timeline at all really since the initial one they announced. Personaly this scares me.
And besides, while I do want the *cough Upgrade to succeed (because if it doesn't, it could spell the end of this games life), why can't they dedicate a couple people to creativity in the current live version? Obviously they did this with the *cough New and Improved Loot Pass? Didn't this also take away from the *cough Upgrade? Oooooh maybe that's why we haven't heard anything about the *cough Upgrade... they were using that dev time for the loot deal..........
OMG! Bring back outcasting! Errr... put it in, take it out, then bring it back

Remember Outcasting? They interacted with their potential customer base for quite a while regarding this issue, and in the end, decided to scrap it.
Caella is gone. Long live Outcasting and Pink AT-AT Cantinas!
