Thread: Can we the customers get an approximate timeline on major publishes anywhere?

Any word on that Star Destroyer Dungeon which was planned?
Or the Hutt Casino that was scheduled for earlier this year?
My guess, they will make us pay for this in an expansion.
Hopefully this means they're moving to a quality oriented "when it's done" timeline instead of before it's done.

All the quick mini-publishes are good, a step in the right direction but:
a) can I get an approximate date on combat balance?
b) can I get an approximate date on GCW re-vamp?
c) can I get an approximate date on profession re-vamps, such as the mythical smuggler revamp?
If there is somewhere I can go to get this information, please direct me to the relevant page, having to surf through hundreds of forum messages to find the needle in the haystack is not fun, and I haven't found anything so far.

In short it covers the combat balance and more...
His quote fora timetable is "Shorter than a year, but longer than a mini-publish."
That's as much as you are going to pin them down. Whenever they give a timetable and it's a day late or doesn't include everything they thought it might they get screamed at mercilessly. If something appears magically with no explanation they get oohs and aaahs and thank yous. If I were them I wouldn't promise anything or give any timetables either.
