Thread: How do you think the devs would answer a Straitforward What are your long term goals for Jedi?
the official answer would be the same as it is now, silence...
if u get em in a corner then it becomes "this is one of our issues that require some consideration"
answer1= "We are currently working on this and hope to resolve it soon."
The answer would be, "We are having an HOC chat tonightto discuss our new and exciting expansion."
"We will get you an ETA on those answers"
8 months later
"No ETA yet"
Most likley it would be full of any information they have to keep us paying and playing but it would not happen to the game.
Just like the friday fetaure did to get us to buy it and then all the weapon stats were nerfed.
IF you want truefull info go work for them
.
Have I lost faith in sony ohh yes, 2 years the gams has been out and jedi is still a broken class, How could i not.
They would deny that Jedi are less powerful. They would deny that we are but content for bounty hunters. They would deny that they want us all to just go away and wish they never added Jedi to the game. They would say "working as intended"
I would even say they'd deny that Jedi and Space are the two main things that make "Star Wars" what it is....and I think they really don't understand that. I cannot believe how much emphasis is put on "the ground game" and on mundane professions. No offense to those inmundane professions, but you guys can get what you are looking for in a dozen other games. Where's the big space battles? Where's the sudden battles between Imperials and Rebels breaking out? Why aren't there ISDs patrolling around in space, or Alliance and Imperial ships duking it out above Corellia? Why can't guilds own a Corvette or other ship? Where's the AT-AT's or other surface vehicles? How come my AT-ST is a pet? Why can't I ride in one? Why are they so down on Jedi? Why do bounty hunters even hunt Jedi? Why arent Smugglers smuggling? Where's the Imperial ships stopping me and boarding me?
You see...the REAL question isn't where are they going with Jedi. The REAL question is "Where are they going with this game?" I started playing with two hopes. First, that I would be immersed in the world of Star Wars...like what I saw in the movies. Second, that I could some day become a Jedi and all that it entails during this time period. What I expected was not EQ with a cheap star wars painting in the background. I mean...there's people running around with SWORDS in an era where people have GUNS. Does anyone else think this is completely stupid? I'm a powers Jedi btw...I should be offended if a person with a common sword came at me. What do you think the Emperor would do (after he stopped laughing)? Heck, even a Jedi with a Lightsaber would laugh. The only two places I recall using melee weapons in earnest was Jabba's Palace and the Ewok village, and let's face it...both were pretty backwards places in the galaxy.
I don't even know why we discuss reasoning on these forums. SOE has clearly demonstrated that they do not give a flying dutchman about their customers. They FORGET we are CUSTOMERS. We are treated as if they are doing us a favor by running this game...as if it were a free service. We should all just live with the cards we are dealt and suck it up. If you drove a new car off the lot and it broke down halfway home, then you called the dealer and they said "suck it up" and insurance comapny said "we can't help you" and the manufacturor said "working as intended"...would you just roll over and do as your told? Nope! Unfortunately for all of us, the law does not extend into the gray areas of the online gaming industry and it's relationship with it's customers. Some day it will, and what the company says on it's box will have to be so or class action lawsuits will be in order. Until that day we are stuck with crappy games and the whims of game designers who don't know star wars from lord of the rings.
Quit you say? I can't. I simply cannot do so. I don't love my character, but I put too much time into him, and that time means something to me even if the character itself is a joke. I also have close friends who I can see everyday because of this "game". Someday I will quit, I know I will. When my friends move on and I have held onto my hopes long enough. Because I know this company will never meet the expectations of the majority of it's customers. It's funny, I thought some of the games I had played in the past were bad, especially WWIIOL....but SOE has taken this game of dev vs customers to a whole new level, and it is uglier than I have ever seen it. The rats at CRS would be in awe.
100%agree
plz go away, leavestarwars alone...
however, i will cancel my account in order to stop the ruinning of "starwars".
