What the hell do you mean with "no lootdrops"? As a jedi I earn 30-40millions per week camping a special spot

Works for me

And SOE wont do crap... they gonna let the game die, yet another expansion with zillions of new bugs and I bet it will even screw up currently working things.

No. Its people transfering to Bria or Ahazi because their old server only has ghosttowns anymore.

lol - nice post

"camping" being the key word.... that should have been negated a long time ago... I for one will not "camp" for loot. I don't pay to sit alone to let the greed bug get me. Loot should be available to ALL players.. not just campers or bh .. sickens me how greed has taken over this game and the ridiculous prices people ask for loot that only a few can get. /sigh guess i'm just tired of the whole thing after playing since launch and see the game seriously go down the drain.

Nice post man!!! A+

So, they finally admit it, after all this time, even though we already knew it to be the case.

Test Center is nothing more than a spot to dump patches to make sure they dont crash the live servers (mostly)

Live servers are where all the testing and balancingtakes place.

So bottomline, the nerfs will never stop and the game will only continue to get more frustrating.

Here's a real genius idea, how about you devs can this moronic concept and do your Q&A on the test server instead?

You forgot to add Jedi population in there as a problem with the game. Let's hope that's on the pipeline too eh?

wow ur uber....i mean wow, can i kiss ur feet...since ur soooo ritch and all.

No there arent any lootdrops compared to what the game once was, loot used to be interesting, as the autor stated, you had geno caves that was interesting. Now goin there is pretty mutch pointless unless u loot like legendary acklay bones.

And totally agree with the autor. And seriously canceling the accounts is the only way we can even get them close to listening to us... Many of us have been hoping for fixes, for a more balanced game, hanging on to the hope. But, im starting to realize that its not gona happen. It's time to face the truth..

good post oronoob

Tiggs : '' I will send an email about this after I am done posting. I can totally relate to the grinding and lives outside of the game. Imagine working on the game and then playing it when you get home? It doesn't feel like you have left work really. Anyway, there will always be balance passes done and yes as much as it kills us when it makes one profession a "Flavor of the Month" so to speak, we don't know until we see it played out on Live servers (sorry TC folks). Then the balancing is done again and the viscious circle continues. ''

This is whatTiggs wrote in this thread :

http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=jedi&message.id=1275220&view=by_date_ascending&page=1

Basically, you mean that, you need to push the publish live to see if the changes you have made will create a FOTM or not. First of all, this isa big slap on TC players. Honestly, I don't even understand why people are playing on your test centers, and I respect them more than anyone else. But what you have written is unacceptable.

This is the game you have created. I am a veteran player and as soon as you give me publish notes, just after READING them, I know what's gonna be FOTM. As soon as you have released Publish 9 documents, I knew that Master Enhancer with ForceRun3 would be FOTM.

With CU, as soon as I read what cloak would do, I knew that everyone would have cloak in their templates till it's nerfed.

As soon as you released the Squad Leader documents, I knew that half of the player population would go SL because everyone wants to kill things / their targets as soon as possible.

What you're saying is; in the whole SOE, there is NOONE that could guess this, and you have to push the publish, see what becomes FOTM from1 month to 3 months, then make your nerfs.

This business model is unacceptable. You need to hire players to predict you the effects of your changes. It could be done by listening to your player base, but for some reason, you don't do that.

• 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?

Powers/Healer: All classes are constantly monitored for balance. I do not know what is up next but I can check on these.

• 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 There was a document being worked on and I will have to see how far along it is. Priorities shifted to ToW so this document may be incomplete.

• 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)

Answered what I could. I need to be in the office to check on the other questions. ''

The answers you have given aboveare the following :

FRS No eta for this at this time. Pearls/Lightsaber: Pearls are currently being worked on and I have no information on them yet.

Powers/Healer: All classes are constantly monitored for balance. I do not know what is up next but I can check on these.

Discipline There was a document being worked on and I will have to see how far along it is. Priorities shifted to ToW so this document may be incomplete.

I could have given the same answers by not even knowing anyone from SOE. Political answers are the same everywhere :

'' Working on it. '' '' No ETA at this time '' '' As soon as possible '' '' I know my colleagues were working on that issue, need to double check'' '' Priorities have changed '''' We want this solved more than you ''

State of the game :

GCW : Dead due to the ability to spam bases, and GCW having no meaning.

FRS : My Enforcer Robe is just occupying space in my inventory. You could have understood how important that Black Robe is for ALL OF US just by checking how many pre-CU Knights still haven't deleted their robes despite their usefulness.

PVP : The guy I killed 5 seconds ago can come back and fight me with an empty stomach. Mor ebugs and exploits than I can count.

LOOT : There's no loot. Thank you for increasing AI on mobs, but let me ask you one question : Why would I even fight a NS Stalker in the first place ?

DUNGEONS : DWB & Geonosian Cave : Hello Devs. There used to be a place called Geo Caves. There was a spider in there whichdropped nice poison components and there was a mob called Acklay which dropped Acklay bones. And mobs there dropped sword cores, cubes and geo pistols. ALL are useless now and that place is empty. How about changing the loot there so at least a few people go there ?

I quit the game 3 months ago, but was hoping for some changes in the meantime. Now I lost my all hope, and I am quitting the forums, too. SOE did an awesome job forcing me play a cartoonish game like wow despite my love for Star Wars and my Jedi.

Tiggs, ALL SOE's problems can be solved by hiring 20 Intelligent people who play this game and can give you ideas and feedbacks BEFORE you push something to Test Center and Live. They can interact with the community in forums, and together make a perfect game. I can't believe how you can not see a simple thing likethis.

I think the DWB is okay as it is...it's used to loot rare items for Mandalorian Armor/Jetpack and get a Schematic there.

But the Geo Lab and Corellian Corvette definitely needs a revamp. See my ideas here. As well as all the other high levels need an update.

Dunno what to say. Cept The server populations have thinned horribly. Forced to group, but difficult as hell to find one.

Happens every year when kids go back to school. Summertime always has a huge pickup in the playerbase. In the fall it drops off again. It's not hard to find a group on weekends, but it's hard to find one during the week. Same thing.

The nerf/bug issues have an affect also, but that's not all it is.
