Thread: Need some news on the FRS!

I just wish they would throw us a bone soon. That's basically all I'm waiting for at this point. ToOW will give something to do in the interim, but I just wish they would put more resources into the FRS so that PvP between jedi would mean something again.
me too man.....me too. But as much as I hate waiting for some word on it....I would rather wait than have them halfa$$ it and whip it out and have it suck.
Sounds like asking when the bathroom is installed while there's no house yet.

exactly, the criers would do well to understand this
There is something really messed up with SOE for the game to be like this... This game has a TREMENDOUS amount of potential. They just aren't doing things right.
They should focus on the 5 main objectives:
1) GCW/FRS systems fun and beneficial (seriously, what good does being a Colonel or PvPing do?)
2) Make all classes have useful features that are correctly balanced with all the other professions
3) Publishes need to be bug tested THOROUGHLY-most bugs are found out about on live or on TC (they just don't fix the bugs on TC)
4) Loot needs to be totally revamped for the CU-loot is still messed up royaly; the "Force" people on Dant give better loot than Nightsisters or Krayts
5) Lag and loading times need to be looked at; this game is too simple for it to lag so much. Seriously, things 5000 meters should NOT be "spawned" for you. Just go out to some crazy waypoint on Dath, do a /tar a or whoever the pilot trainer is on that planet and you'll be able to target him.
Anyway, I doubt that we will see FRS by the year's end. They just recycle content like crazy... If you look at the publish notes since the game was released, more content based things were released in Publish 1-3 than all the rest of the publishes to date mind Kashyyyk.
I'm not asking for any specific information about the FRS, I would just like an update on when they reasonably think the FRS will be coming out. Is it going to be the next thing after the ToOW stuff comes out/bug fixes with the new expansion or is there going to be a much longer wait. The Devs silence and refusal to give any information on this major part of the game (major from a jedi's point of view) is frustrating. I also think they need to address the PvP content for all players. It seems that "winning" the game is when you complete your profession. After that, you can either participate in meaningless pvp where the only bonus is having weak npcs guard the cities on the planet that your dominating on or sit around in cantinas talking to your guildmates about how good this game could be. Quests are o.k., but when your done with them, then what, just wait for the next expansion. Time between expansions and major content publishes is too long to actively keep me (an others) intersted in the game.
Don't get me wrong, I like playing this game and I feel that there is a tremendous upside to the potential of this game, but the Devs have to get a move on and focus their efforts on the continuity of the game so that when people accomplish their goals profession-wise and quest-wise, there will still be something to do while we wait for new content. For Jedi, the FRS is the solution. For other professions, there needs to be some other competitive combat system somehow connected with the civil war. If they succeded in producing that scenario, then this game's long term success would be solidified.
