I see several revam proposals here

What makes you think they aren't using those as a starting point for the revamp, then they'll eventually release their version with modifications for comment? As was stated, you don't really want them coming up now and saying "so, what do you want?" you want them to take your proposals and run with them which doesn't happen overnight, so they STARTED with your docs and will ask for feedback when they're ready.

That's fine by me so long as I know that's what they're doing. If they come to us in 3 or 5 months and show us some document that is reminicent of the Publish 9 revamp because they didn't bother to look at our documents or ask us questions, then there's going to be problems.


If they told us that they're using our documents and they'll work on something and show it to us, that'd be cool. We'll know they're doing things from our end. We just want to know if we're being left out of the loop or kept in it. All of this was promised to us by Thunderheart and GreenMarine. We just want to know what's up and make sure that our ideas and viewpoints are taken into account and used in the revamp.

The fact that no one officially said "Hey, we are using Thread #1, Thread #2 and Thread #3 as a starting point, we'll try to merge those ideas into a bigger revamp document and get back to you as soon as we have something solid so you can throw some comments at us, but bye for now, because we're busy working on this!".

The whole problem, is that we've been burned too many times. I'm not asking for miracles from the devs (regardless of what I want), I just want some nice, good old-fashioned sit-down/feet-up conversation about what they plan.(Sorry, got alittle colloquial there)

Guys, really - we've been over this before and we're coming to the same place. I understand the anger and frustration as well as anyone here, but we're just going to get worked up over nothing again. nothing's changed; we've gotten bent out of shape before and its gotten us nowhere.


Time to just go with it. We have no control over anything; they have the power. The revamp will come or it won't. Nothing we do, nothing we say, will have any effect on it coming sooner or later.


Yeah, they broke a ton of promises; shame on them. They're all bad, evil, foul smelling people. We know that. But its not worth the aggrevation of slogging through all the muck one more time for no reason.


I am certain Wes has been letting them know how disgruntled we are; he's doing all he can to help out. Least we can do is keep things civil - not that I am accusing anyone of getting out of line, but I just don't want to see it go that far, hence this post.





Hear Hear! Thanks for posting this one!

Folks,


You have provided us with tons of feedback and changes on what you would like for the Smuggler profession already. Let us do what we need to and then we will post it to you and the other non-combat professions we are working on.

Thanks Tiggs. This is perhaps the most important statement you have made in this forum to date. Knowing that you are using the past threads that have hashed out many ideas will put a lot of people at ease and you have eliminated the fear that you will come in here and ask us what we want yet again.


You're defnitely learning how to deal with us.




"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

Praise GOD! You mean we won't have to answer another "What would you like in your revamp?" thread?


This is the best post I think I've ever seen as far as communication from the Devs.


Now, if you could keep this up with just a small update (just a sentence or two) every now and then, you will start earning credibility back.


That's all I personally ask, just a little tidbit every now and again to let us know you're still out there.


And like another poster said above...if you would update us ahead of time on negative things that will impact us (ie: slipping in a change to the Spice downer), you wouldn't have near the problems earning back your credibility with the community. We just want to be informed...good or bad...information is the key.

You may not remeber the 200ish mx dmg flamethrowers then.... It was so long ago I don't even remeber when they made the changes. I couldn't really call that a revamp though.
