1) Is our dodge animation fixed in Publish 7? The patch notes say it is fixed for Fencers, but not us.

Yes. It was fixed for both professions. Just an oopsie in the notes.

2) What's the status of the factory crates of pre-nerf FWG5s?

I hope you didn't destroy them. The crates have been reactivated on Test Center.

3) How do you get the Geonosian Sonic Blaster schematic?

Some players were wondering this. Logix (weaponsmith correspondent) tells me that the schematic itself is a rare loot drop in the dungeon, just like the dropped version of the pistol.

4) So, how about that Combat Balance...?

The developers are intentionally staying very tight lipped, even on the correspondent forum. They are quietly taking in information from the players and the corresondents, but we probably won't knowwhat they plan to do with ituntil it hits Test Center. And don't ask when that will happen, because what itty bitty precious little I know about that is not approved for public info yet.

5) What's the deal with the new Forum Poll at the top?

I didn't do it. I asked a forum administrator to do it, and they did it. I encourage you to mosey on up there and vote. You might see Forum Polls done in the future on this or other profession boards, when it is appropriate (which won't be often).

Hey Randonb,

If I were you, I'd ask to get a few more choices on that poll. I'm between the "I like it" and "I'm 50/50," and there isn't anything to bridge the gap. If I had a write-in vote, I'd say, "I like everything except for the fact that most people want us to be most effective at melee range, which is suicidal and poorly thought-out, so please do not ever do that."

But since there is no space for write-ins, I put myself at "50/50," because the range issue really is essentiallyadealbreaker for me. I could go 3/4 or 4/5, but not the max on that, no way no how.

Could you maybe get a poll with a five-star system, or at least more than 3 choices? It would probably be a lot more helpful for you.

Thanks, guys.

electricnomad - I'd rather not start the poll over again, if it's even possible. It really wasn't supposed to measure everything with precision, just to give us a general idea about how useful this tool (the Pistoleer Poll) is. I'll factor in that some people have 1 or 2 deal breakers that drop them down to the lower category, but I would like everyone to take the poll at face value. "Most" means "Noticeably more than half."

Any ideas on when we are gonna hear our "10 answers"? I realize they are busy but if 2 publishes go live before they can even answer the questions they asked for how much faith can we have that our best interests are being represented after Ran passes them on? Ran is doing the best he can I'm sure, but more polls and questions mean nothing without the occasional answer.

on an aside am I the only one thats finds it odd the DOT version of the Republic blaster will be easier to use than the plain version? DOT is at pistols3 in marksman and the reg Rep blaster is at nov pistoleer. AFAIK the only diff on these 2 items is the DOT, why is the stronger weapon available earlier? Put the DOT version in one of the less used trees, say grips or marksmanship.

Hey thanks sounds good, I guess. /shrug.

Hey finally made master. woohoo. Does multitarget shot got at master work any better then fan shot. It seems that what fan shot does not is what that special is supposed to do. But does it do anything decent worth using? How about disarming shot2?

We have a little more info on the answering of the Top 10 Questions.

The Top 10 Questions project has proven to be a tremendous one. 34 professions, 10 questions each = 340 questions. You might remember Holocron admitting "we blew it" when he asked for a Top 5 Issues the first time around and the developers couldn't hold up their end of the bargain. This kind of large scale information gathering is difficult. The initial round of answers were given when Thunderheart didn't really have time for follow-up, and the experience turned out to be a negative one. He doesn't want to repeat that mistake.

Right now is a critical time in SWG development. The Top 10 Questions are a low priority because of this. They are important to him, but there are other development issues that take priority. He plans to answer them at some point in the order that he recieved them. He would like to wait until he can do the job properly. Right now, there is just too much going on.

Neither multitarget shot or disarming shot 2 do anything special.Just a couple more random HAM attacks. I believe that that was one of our 10 questions that just got put on the back burner. Maybe they'll look at them in the Combat Rebalance.
