Thread: DEVs: Time is up on Master Politician Perks Fix
Myself, and many other "first batch" mayors will be hitting Master Politician This weekend. What's the deal with the Master Politician Specializations? Please give use one good reason (besides the title) to spend the skill points.
Even an acknowledgement of why the Master abilities were removed would slake some of my own personal angst.
consider the next publish would be the driod stuff they are testing... so.. lets see. probably 1 month or so on test on TC... then finalization...... I say.. 3 months?? (totally guessing here)

It was an accident and they are intending to restore those abilities in the next publish (I received this info from a dev in PM).
Now if only we could get information on when the next publish is...
I am very glad that you are having some possitive feedback from the DEVs. I am heartend by your news. I will, however, remain sceptical until the DEVs make a post here to the same effect. Honestly, why did they take the time to send you a PM, and not just post for everyone to see? (directed at the DEVs, not you, Arrya). This question has been on the boards for a while, afterall.

I would like to know too - it has been weeks since we have had any quality dev feedback on ANY issue on these boards, let alone politician issues.
The exact qute from GreenMarine on 1/7 was this:
They should be working. I'll check this out right now. I don't think this would be hotfixed, since we are trying to cut hotfixes down to "service stopping issues only" but a fix will be in the next patch.
Yes it has been weeks since we got any decent responces from this SWG dev team. I for one am getting fed up with all the broken politician stuff. For over a week now we have a shuttle port problem where you can fly in but then there is no ticket terminal or droid to buy a ticket from to leave YETthe city isbeing charged for the shuttleport by the treasury and unable to get any income from it via ticket purchases 
Every time I CSR ticket things I get:
"the dev team is aware of this issue and is working on it sorry we can not help you"
I think this game has a lot of neat things in it and a lot of fun too... but the fact is the newness of the game the "honeymoon" period has warn off for a lot of us and the lack of hotfixes for important issues that WE the people who pay to play are concerned about are not getting the attention needed from the Devs.
Anyone see the new EQ II coming out soon? 
Looks pretty awesome! I'm getting so tired of waiting for stuff in SWG to get fixed might just RUN to buy EQ II when it releases 
They should be working. I'll check this out right now. I don't think this would be hotfixed, since we are trying to cut hotfixes down to "service stopping issues only" but a fix will be in the next patch.
it was two specialisation combos you could choose from, if memory serves one of em was manufacturing center and research centre combines and the other was hospital and cantina healing improvement combo of some description
The CSR's are simply a middleman. They give bugs that are unknown to the dev's and then tell you that the dev's know about it or they clear up some misinformation that you have. That is just about it. Oh they also try to stop griefing, don't expect too much on that front.
As for the patch, it is hitting test in 2 weeks so I'd assume live 2 weeks after that (maybe a little less). So you guys get 4 free terms before usefulness, congrats.

For the record I've been a Master Politician since last weekend and I'm a first-batch Mayor that received no help/grief from the update bug.
I too have been Master Pol since Sunday 11th, with no help/grief from the update bugs.
