Less posting, more fixing. Thx.
Then you get a million posts about 'lack of communication' so Iguess they can't win. Kinda like when lots of peoplesay there is 'no content'.Devs add content then everybody says 'hey why don't you fix the bugs before adding content'
Just look at the responses to the Correspondants. Most of the major issues for EACH profession are pre-release old, and most of the responses are, "Yes, we know."
Shouldn't THAT bother us more than anything? They're quite well aware that the code is Beta quality. It just happens that half a million of us are dumb enough (Myself included) to pay while they really figure out how the game's content should work.
So he says, "Yes we know, we're looking into it." but doesn't give any details... and they've been looking into it since March. I would feel somehow better if they popped up and said, "Oh **edit**, you mean nothing in the Commando profession works properly? We had no idea! We'll get right on that. And having taken a look at all the issues, here's what we're going to do..."
I'd like to see things fixed as much as the next guy, but the simple fact that we even got acknowledged is a start.
Thanks for stopping by.. .and letting us know we exist to SOE.
We really felt as though we were just in the void.

Holo, first off thanks for dropping in,while you were hereI thought I would help you out a bit. I have collected the best of the best posts in regards to what we rangers feel is wrong with the profession as well as many great sugestions for improvement. Many of these post have fallen far down the board but are worth a look. I hope this gives yousome insight into the minds of SWG Rangers and what we envision for our profession.

Great to see a post like that, but..........
I will not forget the most important thing SoE, this game was NOT ready to be released and you chose to release it anyway. You deserve all the whining thrown your way. I know it is not the Dev's fault, those decisions are made by those suit wearing fools. But you accept your paycheck from them so you have to take the abuse.
I hope these things get worked out soon.
Since when do developers have a say in when a game will be released?
Well, I'm kinda mixed with the response, probably like most folks. Holocron - I appreciate you taking the time to post. Deep down, I know the Devs are being controlled somewhat by the suits as to what they can and can'tchange.
But on the other hand, there are some simple just plain ol' bug issues that have existed since beta that should have been fixed and/or addressed long ago andshouldn't require any meddling by the suits. Not only in our ranger profession, but the others as well. For me, it is this lack of responsibility that really bugs me.
Sure, all the little extras would be nice and will probably come to fruition down the road. But do what Microsoft finally had to do - quit working on new content for a short while and just get all the current bugs and issues taken care of just to get us off your back!! Then you can start with a fresh slate knowing you have a 'mostly happy' customer base (you'll never make everyone happy that's for sure).

It's good to know you're here listening. I think the entire Ranger community would feel a great deal more confidence that things are getting done on the Dev side of things if we received a few more posts like this over time. We, probably less than most other professions from what I've seen, recognize that things are perpetually busy in dev-land, so we're not asking for full and complete progress reports every week, but the occasional drop in post like this to let us know the wheels are in motion go a long way.
And if you REALLY want a simple way to make the Ranger community ecstatic? Just drop us a short post officially stating that the devs really do see Ranger as a separate and distinct elite profession, and not just a really enthusiastic scout.

One thing though, your posts don't show up in Dev Tracker, is there a flag you use to make them not show up, or is this something the Web Designers need to look into?
