No offense but months ago TH told Commando that their role definition would be the following week's FF. I think thats been what 6 months ago? I'll believe it when I see it.
Things change. I bring you the best information I have at the time and we all roll with the changes as I bring them to you with as much grace as possible or less information flows.
This is a two way street. If I'm going to bring you cutting edge news, then expect some of it to change. It is the nature of all things and not just games and game design.

Thanks, TH. Remember, if something changes on the date (January), yall got to update us
All part of your grand new changes, correct? Just...ya know...given past history and all, thought I'd say.
Thanks for the reply, man.
I know what everyone's waiting for and we're doing our best to get it out to ya. Don't forget, I'm the one with my head on a pike when things change. You guys sure haven't let me forget
heh. Its all good though. We'll do what we can, when we can and my style is not to beat a dead horse until its glue...
(And just so Im clear, what January date are you referencing?)
I was talking about your post about SOETyrant/Gordon's follow-up on the Studio Update: HERE.
The January "date" I was referring to was what he mentioned here (highlighted in red):
"Smuggler revamp / non-combat profession upgrades
The smuggler revamp is important and detailed design work starts on it and several other of the non-combat professions in January. We need the context of the Combat Upgrade to be finished though before revamping the non-combat professions completely. This doesn't mean we are not going to address critical bugs and issues with professions, see the next item…."
I was curious when/if we'd see anything on it soon (my first post you replied to) and if the January date changed, you were supposed to notify us according to the new changes you Community Relations guys are talking about.
Hope that clears things up
Thats understandable but when things change a respectful email the community doesn't hurt rather than leaving them hanging. And Maybe then it wouldn't haunt you all the time. SOE_Tyrant said details would be released in January we are anxiously waiting those details but yes I am cynical I won't believe anything anymore till I see. I have had my hopes dashed to many times ~ retired smuggler ----> need I say anything more?

Actually thats true, but if Tyrant walks in my office and says, "Change of plans", guess what happens?

Yeh guys give TH a break. Geez complain complain complain! Ungrateful! TH brings us cutting edge news like ignoring the community for over a year and you go and bring up something way off base. I for one can't wait until next week when he posts more cutting edge news.
Ehon - Radiant
An "It is going well and we hope to meet your expectations" post every now and then would help but, why would they want to post any dates or even rough schedules because you guys just run with it and then moan when it isnt done to schedule.
Just my two pence.

Oh come on, things don't change that much. You're in charge of Friday Features and yet you can't even guarantee what you'll talk about next week?If things are really that chaotic there then try to watch what you promise. You just said "I'm putting together the first CU stuff for next Friday." To me that makes it sound like you are working on CU stuff and we'll see it next Friday. But we all know that the chances of the next FF being about the CU is very low. All you have to do is change the sentence to "I'm putting together the first CU stuff and I would like to have it ready for you on Friday." That way you wouldn't be lying to us.
He's not lying to us, he's saying he's working on CU stuff for Friday, meaning if everything goes as planed he can have something for the next Friday feature. There is no diff between the statment you had and what he said. I'm sure if next Fridays feature isn't CU he'll tell us why. If you keep slaming him everytime he trys to stay ahead of the curve and offer information, you won't see any posts until something is set in stone, which means long periods without info.

When the Death Star was finally destroyed, news of its defeat spread like wildfire. It brought many visitors, including the Ni'lyahin Smugglers, hoping to scrounge together pieces from the explosion and sell it on the black market. Today, they prosper, fighting their own war against the Empire and their oppression."
