Thread: Did GreenMarine abandon you guys?

I thought for a minute the whole "Smuggler Revamp" was becoming a reality. GreenMarine seemed dedicated enough to give out specifics on what the DEV team wanted to "bring out" for this neglected class.

But for the past couple of months it seemed to just die out. I mean, hell, GreenMarine's last visit here on the forums was over a month ago and his last post was recorded over two months ago.

So, what happened? Did GreenMarine seek solitude in hopes to get the revamp done faster? Or has the vision for a real Smuggler Revamp been clouded once again?

No, GreenMarine does not have influence over the "big picture" decisions. He is assigned to a job and gets it done (he's one of the best they have ). He is a designer, not a project manager, nor studio producer. I hope he is assigned to work on the Smuggler revamp; infact I will push as hard as I can for him to be assignend to the Smuggler revamp. However, currently, he's doing what he's told by his boss/bosses and the Smuggler revamp is not currentlythe main focus of developer attention.

I just find it awkward that he seemed committed getting the revamp off the ground then...nothing.

Well, he was taken away from us to work on JTL, but they didn't put him back here apparently.

Hey, I've been told my father's side of the family has Welsh roots!



Anyway.



I don't think he abandoned us, I think he was abducted.

The truth is and we all know it without a working combat system nothing else will go very far. Without a competent combat system this game will not reclaim the massive host of players it had. Save the game first get attention second. Not that I agree with the devs previous calls. Image designer anyone. Though it seems they have priorities in the right order. Better combat system equals more players equals more fun. Bad combat system means fewer and fewer players oh and perhaps the game might die.

I'm still waiting on the THIRD post from TH, Tiggs, JustG, Cal (the new guy), or even Tyrant, stating that GM has been assigned to the Smuggler Revamp...again.


I'm not likely to believe it again...


And GM didn't abandon us. SOE kidnapped him and locked him in the basement to work on JtL. Apparently, they lost the key in the process and can't let him out again...
