yay 
Here is how I see it. The Friday Features of these kind are great for beginners or casual players. For us who have been here for over a year and playing more than casaul they are a big slap in the face. Nothing new and not worth a dime.
Wake up Devs!

I'm still not buying JTL until after the combat bull is fixed. If its not worth it, 3 accounts /wavebye.
Please, renew my faith. Release Combat RELATED INFORMATION.
Not loot
Not space
Not dev drool on toast
Combat...you know that major part of everything in game that is virtually borked for all but a couple of major classes. Without it the GCW is worthless. Without it the loot crap is worthless. Without it this game is screwed...
do any of you combate morons understand the consept of ALPHA TESTING, wich is where the CU is now? I mean come on people they CAN'T resease info on features that may not even reach BETA. Think about this for a sec please, up until about 2 to 3 weeks befor Launch there where 2 classes of ship crafter, Starfighter Engeer and Ship Write the engeer made the componance and the Ship Write made the ships. Correct me if I am wrong but isn't there only ONE Jtl crafting class? They went though atleast 3 builds on the space combate AI, and I can't count the full number of changes though BETA and in BETA the game is consitered Feuture Complete meaning all the Fetures are already in the game. There still IN APHA remember that so IF they where to tell you something it may end up NOT even offered. They can maybe give broad goals (which they have) but they CAN NOT give specifics when there still in this earliy a testing stage. On the other hand if it gets a mounth or two into beta(depending on how long it runs) and they still have not released specifics then I can understand your complants.

They banned Maluak for speaking the truth! Unbelievable, they don't talk to him or anything, just ban him from posting again. SWG is in serious need of new CSR's and devs. II'll get banned too and this post will be erased also. You nerfed it all, SOE! Mission payouts, bounty hunters, loot, creature handlers, grouping, and the hologrind!
I miss the old SWG, when CSR's were responsive. They would talk toyou and not be drones with automated replies, and when teamwork was fun and we would all run across tatooine to kill uber banthas. But now I see cities/guilds falling because they can't pay the upkeep because the price to keep a city is still high when big mission payouts are small. I talked to a mayor today and she said it takes 300k+ to keep her city up a week without paying taxes (since very few people stay in cities with taxes that will have tocombine and make 300k+). Unless missions are fixed to how they used to be, this game is screwed.

I read what he said. It was childish and personal. It bordered libel, if not outright libel.
He deserved it very much.
He's lucky Tiggs doesn't press charges.

Very cool TH that will come in handy for some of my friends who are just gettin started.
Exactly, a promotional thing....

What about a Friday feature where there will be a publish just for the JTL expansion (IE all the gamebreaking bugs, lockups, crashes, frame rate issues).
OF course then this would just delay the combat revamp even MORE...
Dev's are pretty much stuck in a situation where they have to make a decision.

Does this mean space mining is coming?
An awful lot of those descriptions talk about resource mining and commerce - yet JTL has none of this.
Is this "flavor fiction" for us to pretend with, or is this something that is actually happening? If it's the former, I didn't find it in terribly good taste, as the lack of mining in space is a real sore spot for me as someone who wishes space weren't 99% combat-based.

This is the part where we create our own content. I mean the dev's expect us to do this, hence why there's been a lack of content lately, hoping people just make some stuff up.
NWN does a better job then SWG... atm on creating your own content...

People are leaving this game because the devs failed to listen to their customers. And there are better products in the market place. They ignored player feedback and thought they knew best. Perhaps now they will learn their lesson, too bad mediocre product reviews and countless amounts of customer feedback didnt do it for them.

Aww, come on now, the sooner they get all this JTL stuff out of the way the sooner they can get back to the ground gameThey'll run out of stuff pretty soon at the rate they've been going with JTL FF's hehe.
I know, its just that I am finally starting to feel the end may be near with this gameppl leaving, false hope in small publishes,sad attempts to change the economy cold turkey, dont get me wrong I like the game, but i used to LOVE the game

People are leaving because there is nothing to do. They gave up putting in new dungeons and the ones in there are laughable. I mean, come on, the loot drop rate for BH pieces to make manod armor is laughable anymore. Berzerker rifle has been broken for ages etc. etc
The devs do listen, I was in the JTL Beta and they listened plenty.
Yep and just like in SWG Beta...
Look where we are now...
Oh yeah they're listening...
Mess around with AI's in space...
Nerf engine...
Nerf solo grouping (going to be expensive upkeeping those ships, and the new space missions a joke).
Auto turrets...(GAME BREAKING)
Invul spots in ships (GAME BREAKING)
Ect, ect.

This is a mildly weak Friday feature i agree but its still useful for alot of folks so i think everyone needs to chill. Gheesh! Besides only like 1 in 6 or so FF's are actually useful anyways so whats the big deal?
And as far as the folks leaving SWG thing goes... anyone leaving cuz they cant solo group anymore isnt really worth having around anyways

Umm the way it's setup now, rarely anyone solo group except for exp... that's it. Something is wrong if people are solo grouping in the first place.

Man, there's more whining in this thread than a California vinyard. You people would complain if you were hung with a new rope.
If I were handling Friday Features, this would be the last one. Way too many ungrateful jerks out there to make even a token effort worthwhile. Don't like it? Don't expect any more of them- if you're basing your expectation of what the game is going to do or be about on the Friday Feature, you're totally out to lunch anyway.
Oh, and all you people saying you're gonna quit if you don't get what you want? Just leave now. Your attitude makes things even worse, because on top of whatever other problems there are, now we have to listen to your needy little whines. Give us all a Christmas gift we can use and cancel your accounts, because you aren't actually contributing anything but sniveling that's frankly more irritating than when my five year old doesn't get his way.

/bump couldn't of said it better myself. I'll add one more thing to your post. People just expect to much and they get what they want then they want more and more. shhhh and let the devs do what they're suposed to be doing. I find this game (both space and ground) good just not enough people going up cause you just go on forums to complain and not make the game what its suposed to be or stay in captiols spamming away waypoints or go afk for a very long time. going afk and letting a macro do your job, geez no wonder you have no fun. Going the easy way out then complaining that its to easy. Do us all a favor. Shut up and play the game. O and we also dont want to hear threats of leaving to go to another game, its normal and dont make it a bad thing. blah whatever going to sleep.
