THUNDERHEART

I have said All i have to say about this issue in the in this forum, and in emails to you, so Im not going to rehash it here and now.

I PERSONALY ACCEPT YOUR APPOLOGY AND GENEROUS OFFERING OF PIE AND BEER, AND OFFER YOU BACK SOME QUALITY TWILEK PORN I OFFER YOU BACK MY FRIENDSHIP. Not that it is worth much, Im just a lowly Smuggler that seams to have misplaced my smuggling ablity under hundreds of beer botttles and pie tins.

PLEASE DO US ONE VERY SMALL FAVOR ASAP, like the next hot fix if posable and make the new smuggler loot stackable to 25 or 50 seeing how every one is exactly the same, it would make the game playable again for many of us.

thanks

Except last we heard we WERE almost out on Test Center a couple of times. Tiggs, there needs to be a serious dialogue between the team and this community. One in which we need to not be inflamatory and where your side speaks honestly, one that actually involves respect from both sides.

I don't recall posting that anything other then slicing changes was ready for Test Center.

I think the things he may be referring to here, and I may be wrong, is what was going on when I was a smuggler a year and a half ago... there was fairly heavy discussion going on between individual developers and the smuggler community at large concerning the direction of the profession. At that time, slicing was hit or miss for the most part, and spice was soon to be knocked out by the super Chef. Several times, a major revamp was promised, and at times possibly even scheduled. Some of these posts were TH, I think, and some were other developers... my memories are a bit hazy.
So please understand, Tiggs, that some of the people in the smuggler community may be referring to a history fairly far back.
From a customer service point of view, I also would like to ask the question... and I apologize for how it sounds... does that statement indicate that nothing from any source other than yourself or perhaps TH can be considered "reliable" or "official"?
Being head of community relations, I'd imagine you are constrained more ways than you'd like, and also not party to some of the decisions the player base may jab at you about, but I don't know how to take that one sentence.
Of course, I also note that some developers take specific interest in professions they work on, and might work on them on their own... such as one (name begins with a B) and maybe the venerable GreenMarine. I don't know if there is an official policy against or for this kind of behaviour, but any Devs that want to stay and work on their own time... shackle them to their desks and give them food! Hopefully there will be one for each profession at some point.

We have many un-announced plans that one day soon will be public knowledge. Until we receive the go-ahead nothing will be said, sorry.

Just to put that in english for everyone:

We'll be announcing a new expansion soon. That means all the devs are going to get shuffled around again for the 4th time this year so we can leave yet another skeleton crew barely capable of tieing their shoes to fix live issues or to work on laughably broken classes.

lol getting the short end would imply we were getting something, which we aren't.

Anyone feel like a good, solid kick in the plumbing?

Tiggs, TH.... I won't say it hasn't been fun. Just that it hasn't been funfor the past four months.

Thanks for nothing.
