Thread: Garva answer the questions asked by Bacca please
These are the questions that Bacca gathered up
FRS
- What is the status and ETA for this?
- Will there be a respec with the new FRS?
- Details....
Pearls/Lightsaber:
- Is there any plan to change the way the current tuning system works?
- What is the ETA on getting premium pearls back?
- What is the ETA on a fix for the saber speed bugs?
- Will Dervish and Saber Slash ever get fixed?
Powers/Healer:
- Is there any plans to take out the Zipbars from Weilder abilities?
- Will current Action/Mind costs from Healer and Powers be reduced?
- Will Powers be balanced with LS (ex. Item that increases dmg, reduces speed and force cost)?
- Will Healer get balanced with other healer classes?
Discipline
- What is the specific role of each discipline?
- What is the specific role of Avoid Incap, Cloak, and Stasis?
- What is the future vision of each Discipline?
- Can the community get an explanation for theVisibility system from top to bottom. (not a bunch of guesses by us players, cold hard facts)
Jedi vs BH
- Are there any plans for Jedi to have the abilities to pull missions/quests for loot instead of having to use and alt for Bounty Missions?
- Will Jedi ever be able to return the favor and hunt Bounty Hunters?
Expansion:
- Since Jedi will be hunted on Mustafar, will we get shrines to clone at to prevent griefing?
- With the implementation of new Cloaks, will all races/species be able to wear them?
EDIT: And no i do not think that Garva alone would answer these questions... just gather, sit down and discuss things with your whole team for a moment. Like u did when Pub22 messed up.

I believe Paul 'Garva' Williams could at least say that he has submitted those questions to a Dv, provide the name of the Dev and an ETA when that Dev will reply. |

Garva, I know your job is very difficult. But if its not too much trouble, could you ask the devs to give us some idea of thier vision? I mean, if the player base at least had an idea of the vision of what the devs want this game to be, it would go a long way to curbing some of this resentment. They seem to go one direction, and then do a complete 180 the very next month, and even with score cards, its impossible to keep up. As players, all we want to know is what they want or expect. I know it might not be what we the players want to see, but at least it would allow us to make a decision about whether this is the right game for us or not. |

I do not approve anything like '' OMG DEVS HATE US ''. But please, Sir. SL changes were on TC. Everyone saw the 7000+ damages done by rifleman with SL buffs. Everyone gave negative feedback. It was not negative because people didn't like them. It was negative because it simply ruins the game.
Can you make the developer, who made the desicion, come here and give us a reason why they pushed this to live ?
The players of swg are not only players. We have jobs. We come home from work to relax, login, and BAM. Someone hits me for 7000 and I die there immediately. I freak out and logoff.
Now, what do you want us to think ? I am thinking over and over again, and can't see a reason why these changes were made despite the obvious imbalance.
What's gonna happen ? Things will stay like they are for 3 days - 1 week - 10 days, then will get nerfed. Wasted Developer time and resources, angry customers.

Garva, why aren't some of your responses on the Admin tracker?
Cause he doesn't want ppl to come here and start flaming their asses off ? It's really nice right now in this little therad tbh one of the few non flaming posts.

Are you serious? Are you telling us that the CS department does not schedule a meeting with at least the lead dev after you find a 1200+ post-thread complaining mostly about lacking communication between the dev team and the customer base and the devs ignoring the players wishes?
If this is the case, please reconsider this. Negative feedback in mails tends to be skimmed through, and then pushed back since "there are more important things to do than to answer a few whiners".

id never want your job
"The community is tired of not getting the answers they want
The devs make changes that many of us dont like and we quit"
You dont have to be agressive to get your point across (I'm NOT saying you were I'm just giving an example of how to get your point across in a way that would more likely convey your message instead of getting dismissed as hostility)
This is part of our job (virrago, soterios, nadias) and if we didn't do it, you may have someone that would have gone nuts by now doing it
To be fair GarVa, many in the past have put up posts that have been put forward in a polite and curtious manner with no aggression whatsoever and have still not received an answer or even an acknowledgement, even a "Thank you, we'll take a look at that" to those posts, would have stopped what is happening on these forums a long time ago. This trouble isn't a result of a Pub24, its a combination of everything in the last several months, but most of all, its the lack of communication.
ummm, It is Paul 'Virrago' Williams... Thanks.

So Paul, with a thousand post thread expressing anger and disappointment at the level and style of SOE communications on this very page, this is the post you choose to answer?
