I don't know how long ago these questions where asked but u didn't even answer one of these questions. I believe by answering and clearing out these issues would really calm down the jedi forums and ppl would start playing again cause the citys ingame are like ghost-towns atm.





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.

Ya know, at Capitol One, when someone wants to speak to a manager, and one isn't available, we ask for our customer's name and phone number and assure them that a manager will follow up as soon as possible....

Yes, but why do we have to word our requests to suit you? We're the customers here.

You do not have to word it to suit us, but if you want your concern to
be addressed, I was telling you what manner would get better results.

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.



Please allow me to introduce myself; I'm a man of wealth and taste. I've been around for a long, long year, stole many a man's soul and faith Oropher, the Fallen So if you meet me, have some courtesy, have some sympathy, and some taste. Use all your well-learned politesse, or I'll lay your soul to waste The Plural of Jedi is JEDI. 1 Jedi, 2 Jedi, a bazillion Jedi Pleased to meet you, hope you guessed my name, but what's confusing you is just the nature of my game Guardian of Darkness Just as every Rebel is a criminal, and all the sinners saints..as heads is tails..just call me Emperor's Hand 'cause I'm in need of some restraint.

Aaaah. But here's the thing, mate - and this is the key issue. For the last nearly three years, we DID voice our concerns in the approved manner and we didn't get the 'results' you speak of.


For example, how many months has it been since the FRS was removed? How many months has it been since higher level pearls ceased to drop? How many months has it been since the state defences of Jedi Healer and Jedi Defender and Jedi Enhancer worked? Do you see what I am saying here?

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".

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.
