Thread: To Our Jedi Correspondent and my beloved Jedi

My thoughts on this:
Bac' isn't responsible for letting the community tear itself apart, although perhaps he could be doing more to calm folks down. The root of the problem is the lack of information from the Devs. If the Devs don't provide any information, Bac' has nothing to pass along to us. Plain and simple.
If he DID get anything from them, I'm sure he'd be all over it and would have it posted and stickied on our forum within minutes.
Fixing the Pearl drop/tune issue would go a long way in calming folks down. There's be less of a division between pre/post CU unlocks, and there'd be less complaining about BHs (although that will never go away totally). Tiggs posted recently that a fix was being coded, but declined to provide an ETA on when it'll be completed.
Because there's a vacum of information from the Devs, the players are filling it.... with rumor, speculation and hate. I'm not sure Bac' could "fix" that, aside from posting in the rumor threads and telling the kiddies to shut the Hell up.
100% agree on that - Great post!

Your Lack of attendence disturbs me and alot of the other jedi in this community. This forum is Littered with questions, comments, complaints, and issues that we all are suffering from with no one to answer to them but ourselves. I see that out old corrospondent has once agian stepped in this time to assist us with Mustafar quests. Now what I would rather him do is assist us with the issues that we have discovered with the release of pub 24 and The Trials Of Obi Won. However as much as it pains me to say it this is no longer SonGouki's job. In MY personal opinion I feel our current Correspondent has let this community fall and turn it against it's self. As Gouki departed I saw an immediate change in this forum, helpful posts are replaced with pointless flame wars, Issues that where answered are now ignored. Something must be done. So I ask My fellow jedi. What can we do to remedy this problem we face?
I expect you all to answer with complete Honesty and Integrity. Keep you negative comments to yourself and be constructive as we where when things were in order.
The old correspondent provided a spoiler for most of the content with the expansion. I fail to see how that is a good thing.
Your idea of what a correspondent should be doing is signifigantly different that alot of others here (including myself).
well, what is a correspondent? A correspondent is supposed to communicate SOMETHING, and darthfuse's point is that he doesnt communicate anything. he ignores. but if that makes a good correspondent to you, then so be it......
I've said my share of negatives against our current jedi corr.
You got to remeber he doesn't get paid for this so he can't be doing this every minute out of the day.
Would you rather have him posting here or concentrating on reading through the filth in these forums and pulling out the informative posts and relaying them to the devs?
There's alot of garbage to filter through here.
Even then whatever he gives to the devs might not even be read because they already have something else in mind.
He can't break NDA because most likely SOE would have a punishment for him far worse than permadeath.
SOe calls them correspondents but they should change the name to scapegoats, because that's all they are.
The devs do something we don't like, who feels it the most? The corrs, and they don't even get paid to deal with it.
We're being set up like bowling pins for whatever it is they are going to do with us.
Good, not good....whatever....but that is the reason for the silence.
Same thing happened in the CU Alpha forums. In the beginning, there was daily interaction with players and devs....good exchange of ideas.
Then, the WoW and EQ people got hired and the commlinks went dead for over six weeks. Not a peep. Next thing we knew....they cancelled alpha testing, went to a limited beta test, and pushed it live.
I think the same thing is happening now. Whatever they are up too....it is in the works and we aren't going to hear about it until it is nearly finished.

Just so you know (You might not, you have a relatively new forum reg date and might not know how things work here yet)...You're yelling at an ex-correspondent about what a correspondent should be...I would think they know the system a little better than you. Not trying to start a fight or anything, just pointing something out.
Soe is like the darkside, they will keep in the shadows untill they are ready to strike.

I think it's sad Vegitaa had posted a very good statement about what we're doing to one another. It was unfortunately deleted due to a poor choice in title, however as soon as it's gone, a post like this springs up. Bac has more important things to do than to read this. Pleasegive him something worth reading for all of our benefit.

He had stated in one of his posts within the last day or two that he had no news that we didnt already have...the thing is he only states this when someone harps on him for it. I now wish I would have filled out to be the correspondent because one thing I would constantly have and update either weekly or semi weekly (depending on how often news came about) would be a post that has all the news from the week in it. In the posts below it I would archive all the older posts. Just some organization would be great.

If you blame the current state of the jedi and jedi forum on the current correspondent you are on drugs! Either that or being completely ignorant of the correspondents job!
Its not the correspondents fault that Jedi got hit so much! Julio Torres and the other developers have to take that hit! After all, he said on the leipzig fanfest this year he decided to nerf jedi when he saw them take out Neocris by their own!
When it comes to the current state of the Jedi forum, and all the trash you find here, you cant blaim that on the Correspondent, or the developers. But on the players itself!! There are so many ignorant brats around here posting so much crap, that all the serious posts are drowning in it!!
When it comes to SG an his posts about quests on Mustafar, that one is a HUGE service to the player mass who wants help to complete them! Lots of people do! And Im one of them who have enjoyed SG posts from mustafar! They are also labeled spoilers, so if you want to do the quests by yourself, without any help, thats more then possible! It is in any situation not a correspondents job or any others job to make such guides. But there are some people out there who enjoy helping people. AND FOR THAT SG AND BACIACCA SHOULD HAVE HUGE THANKS FOR!!!!!!!
The correspondent dont have all that much influence. They are just a subtool for SOE. A tool SOE can ask from time to time, and get feedback from. But they do definitely not need to listen to our correspondents, which SOE have proven a few times they dont have to!
The jedi correspondents will always be subjective and partial to the profession they represents, while SOE have to be impartial and objective in their evaluations. In any way, blaming our correspondents for not doing his/her work because we get nerfed etc. if is very BAD thing, because we are letting them take the heat for a situation they cant control! Instead we should back up upon our correspondents for standing up for us!! They love the jedi profession. They love the game. And they love to help the jedi community - and that i have to say find little strange. Specially when they know all the thanks they will have from it, is a kick in the butt over SOEs private decisions for the jedi profession!!!

I agree with most of what you said there except for the part where im blaming the correspondant for letting the community fail. I am not blaming him for the dev's actions or the actions of those brats you speak of. I am blaming him for the lack of communication wether or not he has any info it should be noted and stickied so that we know. That is my argument. Also if this is all a correspondant is for than we should not have one if our feedback can't reach the developement correct?
