I asked for some clarification from Thunderheart. He only intended to say that the Dodge animation would be fixed in Publish 8. That isn't to say no other bug fixes will appear, but that is the only one he meant to comment on.
We'll find out what else is or is not included when the update hits Test Center.

I've already cancelled my subscription until pistoleer gets fixed. Would be nice if this happened in Publish 8, but I doubt it. PvP is becoming ridiculous.

Well thats a bit dissapointing. When I read the comment I interpretted it as both would be fixed, and posted as such. The letter was still encouraging, but that brings me off of my high a bit. I hope we do get some fixes in the next publish though, but I guess now only time will tell.

"Combat Profession Bug Fixes" in Publish 8
If that doesn't include Pistoleer dodge and AT LEAST a special or two, I'm going to go insane.
And the GCW... that's been screwed up since the beginning, yet it all happens in publish 11. Why not sooner? Because they devoted TWO WHOLE PUBLISHES TO JEDI, A HUGE MINORITY! Congrats, you made like 100 people happy and opened the door for people to become a Jedi in an interesting manner. Meanwhile, those of us who would rather stick with what we have now get nothing. I mean, k'mon. Jedi have been in-game only a few months and you're devoting two whole months to them. Two months. One profession. A handful of players. HONESTLY! GET A GRIP! LAME. I'm sick of all this diplomacy crap and people making agreements with each other "Yeah, this is the way it should be, now let's get the devs to listen." They never listen! They could care less! I seriously think they block out all the forums except Live, TC, Concept, Development, and Announcements.
Profession fixes take too long? Hardly. Unless the fact that our master specials do jack squat is in some way coded deep into the core SWG game system, then it couldn't possibly take that long. Then pistoleer specials are fixed. That took what, a day or two? Now move on to the other gimped professions.
Nobody wants space combat before ground combat is fixed! I have no doubt that space combat will be flawless, mainly because they pulled all the good devs and carted 'em off to work on that for forever and a day. The day I'll be happy with SWG? When I'm flying in my X-wing defending my guild's Calamari cruiser over Naboo, looking down at all the poor saps who don't have the expansion who still warp when getting off their swoop, speeder, and landspeeder (no, even by then no new ones have been added), who still wait 10 minutes for shuttles to arrive (anyone wanna bet me the wait time is a "necessary game mechanic" just like decay and they'll nerf it to 30 min, possibly an hour?), who still have to fight in a war where pistoleers have 4 points lower speed than rifleman on theira weapons yet it means nothing because rifleman's insane speed mods compensate for the four points, and who still have to spend hours a day on these forums pleading for bug fixes because the devs can't get it right the first time.

Apparently they're going to leave us broke til we all quit in disgust. Which will be about 2 weeks.

Actually... 
I know what you all mean though, it's even worse for commandos who were relying on the combat balance to address most of the pertinant issues. I'm just hoping that they keep to the plan of fixing most of the proffessions big bugs publish 8, hopefully including specials for all proffessions.

We get nothing. We get what they gave the fencers in the last patch. I can't be the only one who thinks they had to leave us out of this fix on purpose. It's the same mod, the same animation and yet somehow it don't apply to pistols.
To respond to the comment that Jedi get 2 whole publishes to themselves, I have a jedi and I got some crafting tweaks that were not exclusive to Jedi in the last publish. Architects have had the same "fixes" for some time now. The benefit to the Doc part of my Doc/Pistoleer in this same publish was immense. I can safely say that my Jedi did not win in the last patch.

Its not only jedi they are fixing, it is the way to become force sensative as well. While there might be about 300 jedi per server, there are still many many trying to reach that. So they are not only appealing to the current jedi, but to the many thousands trying to become one as well.
