Hi
Rumors say tomorrow (august 24th) publish 10 will go live.
And still those reports that vendor loose items all the time on TC are around?
Whats with that? Don't wanna log in tomorrow and see that all my items have gone to hell...
If they put publish 10 life and that bug is really in, it will be a disaster...

If they published it like it exists today on TC you'd be very bored the entire vendor/bazaar system is "Unavailable" right now.
I know they are working on the vendor/bazaar issues right now so we'll see what happens today.

Aren't they still having some major Gating issues with the FS Quests as well?

Wouldn't mind if it was pushed tommorow (So long as the vendors WORK). I've got some stuff to put on my six shiny new vendors

Pushing update 10 back will mean pushing JTL back. I doubt management is going to allow it to happen even if we end up getting screwed in the process.

Publishes get pushed around a week or two all the time. Its just part of the process.

2 completely different teams are working on these parts. JTL isn't affected at all by ground game publishes. With the exception of new graphics for ships in starports no part of the JTL code should interact with the ground game. People won't be putting vendors on yt-1300's.

Plus, I think the development team working on JTLs is working independently from the currect pub 10 devs.

The JTL crew is not working completely independent of this crew. At some point JTL has to be integrated with SWG. When they start making a bunch of changes to the code base to implement that they have to put on hold the changes here to make sure theywont havetwodifferent code trees that have to be merged at the end, which always has and always will cause extra bugs. Yes its possible to do, but its not something they like to do and its the reason for a lot of the patches going through with known bugs in the past. It is easier for them just to leave the bug in, stay with a singular code base, and make a hotfix after the patch than to revert back to the old code in one branch until a working codeis developed and remerged.
The JTL beta is scheduled to start after patch 10 probably because of thisdesire to keep the codebase singular. If they keep it singular theywill not haveto waste extra effort and create unintended bugsdoingmerging.Keeping it singular means If they put off patch 10 they put off the JTL beta and put off the JTL release. If the JTL release is put off by much it will run into the release dates of Matrix Online (11/1/2004), EverQuest II (11/15/2004), and World of Warcraft (11/15/2004). Will management allow that to happen?

Talk about burning the midnight oil. Items on vendors on production shards *poofing* would be the icing on the cake for a LOT of paying customers.
