OK I'm not complaining but..

this week I've been selling all I own, converting all my gear to credits so I could put it on my character and cancel my account, hoping to come back someday when things are working better.

Now all the suddenly there's a dev actually reading Jaegen's report???!!!?!?!?!?!?

*pinches self and slaps my own face seeing if it's a dream*

Question...what good would that do? Currently I thought items didn't have a time-based decay, plus there's the fact that SWG has one of the scariest character deletion policies in the online community right now.

Yeah, but they're not saying anything good. They haven't shown any indication of understanding fundamental issues (DPS, defective speed skill implementation).

Was I reading this wrong?

I think they were leaning towards making BS3 faster, SS faster and adding intimidate to D2, or am I wrong?

Ermm faster doesnt help us if we cap at 1.0 speed and a master rifleman gets strafe shot with a 200 damage rifle at 1.0 speed

theres no adv to pistol speed there. now granted we are more accurate and will have better defence so we cant and never should outdamage rifleman per se

vGeist - Unless I'm missing something, you misread things.

Holos initial comments back form the dev included this:

* We've already fixed bodyshot 3, unless we're confused on what you're saying. Bodyshot 1 does 1.5x the damage of a regular shot, bodyshot 2 does 2x, and bodyshot 3 does 2.5 in the current code (not what is on Live, but the current code internally). So if that does not match what you see on Live, you should be getting that as part of the next update.

Which is bull. That doesn't represent a change. That is EXACTLY how it is on live right now and shows the fact that they don't understand DPS issues. Yes BS3 is 2.5 damage, but it's also 2.5x delay, making it a 1.0x DPS, worse even than BS1 !!

"Is the issue the speed of firing" Holo asks? At least he's starting to look in the right direction. Geeze. I can't believe how novice these guys seem. It's disgusting.

I swear Holo was promoted because he made a best selling game with a bunch of rookie Developers. They don't seem to realize that you could put a dog turd in a shoebox, write "Star Wars" and "George Lucas" on it, and it would sell. I'm not saying SWG is THAT bad, but it sure needs a lot of work, and the basic lack of understanding of their own game is really discouraging and annoying.

Well then get back on them tomorrow. We need to get the pistols developers home phone number.
