Best thing in game ever: Being a smuggler


Worst thing in game ever: No smuggling.



My real answers


Best thing: The comunity in the city of Aartan Ridge on farstar and all the fun we have had in the game. The places we have gone and the adventures we have had.


Worst thing: Would have to be SOE quality control or lack there of. They need to put more people into place as far as making sure things that get added or bugfixes don't break other things. The code for this game is so complicated it needs a LOT of testing and when it is pushed to TC it should again be bug fixed before going out to live. Todays debarcle is just one in a whole long list of patches that broke mor ethan they fixed.





We're Charley Brown, the Dev's are lucy and the Smuggler revamp is the football.
Every time we think, this is the time were gona get to kick the football Lucy pulls it away at the last minute.

I hope you guys get JFreeman or Blixtev by here soon... they've been pretty good to us with info and stuff lately... well as good as we're gonna get.



"Jedi claims of being "broken" are like saying "But my TV isn't widescreen! It's broken! My TV can't show high-def pictures in 1080i, it can only do 720i! It's broken!" Meanwhile, crafters are saying "We'd really like to have a TV that's larger than 12" and gets more than 4 channels and doesn't constantly lose vertical control", and entertainers are saying "Can we get some color instead of this B&W piece of junk?" And smugglers? We're listening to radio programs of "The Shadow" and "The Abbot and Costello Comedy Hour" and hearing FDR's Fireside Chats. We don't even HAVE a damn TV, much less a broken one or a "broken" one by Jedi standards. I'd LOVE to be as "broken" as they are." - The Legendary Solo4114

Best thing: Encouraging interdependant community building.


Worst thing: When they decided to stop doing the above because they decided that eventually everyone should be functional as a Jedi loner.

Nice. This is the same excuse I use at work when I've been lazy and have to explain why my work didn't get done.




Yea? Where do yo work? *grin*


I use the same reasoning at work occasionally, but in many times it's even true. *grin*


And on the matter, i am not surprised that SLs don't have priority. Never had, probably never will have, but with the last release and the problems of it, i can believe that Devs are currently a bit short on time. (Especially, holliday time, probably the staff is a bit short at the moment, too...)

I would ask'em the following

"I am in the game since the launch, and since that time I wondered How cool would be be a Squad leader! A person that knows what is doing in the game, give directions, put waypoits, call a target, give the members in his group bonus and specials, but the profession is broken and I am still half squad leader, so when you guys will fix SL?"


PS: Btw i think i am in extinction, i am MSL and I can't remeber the last time I saw another MSL cuz everytime I see one I use the /sal to him....

Best thing: Getting me in touch with a few cool people on the forums.


Worst thing: Taking a game that had a ton of potential and crapping on it.

I completely agree. I have always wanted to be squad leader. In grinding groups I take the leader position alot of the time and thought it would be wonderful if I had some in game abilities that would assist me even more. Then I get starry-eyed dreaming about squad leader until reality (swg reality anyways)crushes my dream with its brutal truth. Squad Leader was a wonderful idea for the game and it's about time it got some dev love. (as well as smuggler, arch, etc)


Ideas that I read and liked:

I love the idea that master squad leader would get a few (two) more members to the group size. I saw in previous posts that someone always had odd men out doing guild hunts do to the small (tiny) 8 person limit. This was one of my least favorite changes in the CU. It is terrible for pilots as well (try doing corvette runs as a guild now, it stinks leaving people behind).


Abilities that actually matter. As far as I have been able to discern there is a command that highlights (or something similar) a target whena SL uses it. I have all my graphics maxed and am frequently in a group with a Master SL and have NEVER witnessed this. It would help in many situations.

I particularly like the group burst run conundrum; it has high sac costs to use, but how often do you need to get your group to retreat when everyone is at full ham?


Sorry I can't be more specific with my help, never being SL and all. Just tried to contribute what I could.
