Rifleman Archive

Ya know, we have alot of really pissed off Riflemen (and other classes as well) around here lately since they a.) gimped snorbal missions. b.) gimped Dantooine completely c.) made the BH useable LLC make the T-21 that was "so **edit** scary" look like a BB-Gun. d.) havent fixed any more of our skills save Suprise shot which is still debatable.

Since all of this has gone on where are the devs? Are they cowering in their corners realizing now how "in-over their heads" they are? Are they finally realizing that their way of balancing this game has done nothing but show more of its glaring weaknesses? Or is it that they have finally realized that everything that they have tried to balance has so blatantly backfired in their faces that they are afraid to change anything else in fear of a complete clientelle meltdown?

I have never seen a dev team so completely clueless in my life and I work with Dev Teams. Not in this genre but still nontheless. You guys have no intercommunication, that is obvious from the conflicting comments that are so evident on this board. Now your restricting the public from seeing what a bunch of idiots you are by not allowing them to see what people have to say about your game that have already paid? This is PURE SOE and if changes are not made soon to balance all of the classes (Rifleman first please ) you are going to lose customers at a very alarming rate.

In short my suggestion is this....... YOU HAD BETTER START COMMUNICATING WITH YOUR PAYING CUSTOMERS AGAIN OR YOU WILL NOT HAVE PAYING CUSTOMERS TO COMMUNICATE TO VERY VERY VERY SOON!!!!!!

There are SO many things that need to be addressed that a Designer Response better be forthcoming in the next couple of days or you are going to have no one left to respond to.

Alot of us are patiently saying to ourselves.... "Its ok, it will get better. I realize that I am not the Sniper I should be, but its a new game and they are working the kinks out". Every single Rifleman on this board and in this game I know has muttered this to themselves. I have done it to..... I want to LOVE this game. The potential is amazing, but if you dont capitalize on your strengths, and keep ignoring your paying clientelle and keep NERFING before FIXING then I am afraid that the potential of this game will never be because if SOE isnt making the money it expects and your clientelle falls out from under you, expect a full-blown pull the plug.

I have bashed Holo numerous times for his incompitence but I must appologize as I know this is not completely on his shoulders, but damnit guys. FIX YOUR SH*T PLEASE!!!!! You guys are SOOO proud of the game you have created. Listen to your customers and let US help you IMAGINE ITS FULL POTENTIAL!!!!

This post has been duped over to the main SWG Discussion boards to go along with the pressure that Aldeon and the rest of us have been putting on the devs.

Drop a line in the thread and lets get this to the point that they simply CANT ignore it anymore
