Thread: Thunderheart's Response to FRS and Crystals/Pearls

1.) Knight Trials and FRS: People are building Jedi on the frogs and doing the Knight Trials. Does this mean that the Knight Trials are going to be re-opened? If not then we have quite a few people wasing valuable test time. If yes then please let us know so we can test them. What is the status of the FRS and the Knight Trials? Are they currently being worked on? Can you tell us anything on the subject?
2.) Crystals and Pearl: Currently the frogs are handing out flawless pearls like candy. People are assuming that this means they will be back in the game along with (maybe even independant to) the expansion. Rumors are everywhere as this is a game-breaking issue for so many players that have invested enormous amounts of time and money on SWG. What is the status of Sabers, crystal/pearl drops, and tuning? Is this being worked on? Do you have a timeframe? Is there anything you can tell us on the subject?
3.) Recent Nerfs: Can you please let us know which Jedi abilities have had additional costs applied? Can we have a list? What is the status of AI? Will the snare be removed or will the cost be reduced to that of Aura or FA? What's happening?

We understand that these are important issues and we will discuss them with the community at some point, but not at this time and not on these forums.
Please keep discussions focused on the ToW Beta Test.
Thank You.

what he say is prettty much shut up and dont start any rumors but it would be nice if they gave us some info so it could kill all rumors
Yeah, but what I was saying was that all of the rumors and confusion could be remedied with a simple statement. There are literally 1000s of threads on these topics and all I was trying to do was get an answer that we could point to and calm things down a bit.
This is what I got instead...

I had asked this in the BETA forums a few days ago and this was the response by TH.

None of these items are part of the ToW beta test.

What's peculiar about this is that some pretty heavy duty changes are being made to the Commando and Creature Handler Professions and they are being rolled into the BETA forums and the TC2 patches. In addition, there have been at least two rounds of nerfs (The AI nerf, additional action costs to healing, etc.) to Jedi.
Guarr posted a thread stating concerns about the nerfs which has gone unanswered as well.
What I like was the part about Pearls being game breaking lol...
Yeah, real funny huh. I can buy a weapon off of the bazaar for my other characters but I'm told to shut up and wait on the character that costs 450 million XP. Real funny indeed.
Now listen, I hate telling you this but by far loot drops in a whole are broke-- but please dont say the non pearl drops are game breaking. That is not true at all.
I have no idea what you're talking about on this one. Everybody knows about the other loot drops. What does that have to do with my post?
The Knight trials were the old ones... I know alot of the people may not have known this due to only a few of us have been lucky enough to have our Jedi in most of the betas -- I do respect it that I have and give feedback privately. I can tell you that there is more to all of these things then you know right now Im sure but soon we will get the info we need and at least you can love it or leave it. Do what TH says and you will be alot better off though. I fiugred that out after the beta of the game itself.
Not sure about all of that. We are the ones paying here. They are making a video game not ICBMS. It's not a matter of National Security. They are just afraid to talk about what's going on for fear of even more people quitting. 75% of the players who have purchased SWG have since quit. I wonder why ^^.

Th's response doesnt make any sense, there are changes to jedi in beta but you cant ask about those changes because they are not part of ToW beta ? If that is the case then why are these changes in the beta if they dont have anything to do with it.

Exaclty, its a dictatorship response.
frogs were the general tc frog,s that were imported, they probably didnt realise that the options were enabled.
ALso, if TH was to give a timeframe on the eta for frs and trials, then most ppl would cancel their account and come back when it was live or in testing, this would cause SOE to lose a lot of money.
but really, we all want these things to be addressed, but trying to force them to do things, makes you sound childish, obnoxious, and if they did bring these things out early, you can guarantee that they would be extremely buggy , and you would cry about that too.
just bite your lip and wait for them to announce it
