Thread: A New Hope A Conversation with Thunderheart

Holy crap!
I didn't know we had all of these people in the SL forums. Would be nice if they bothered to post a couple of times. I just /love/ seeing people who never posted on our forums speak for us.
In other words, and I wont be so nice, get the hell out of here.
As for the folks who are not SL but want to help, we have plenty of stuff to read and you can post stuff there first. Just because a big red name posts doesn't mean you are actually helping us with your idea, in fact you might be hurting us.
NP DiLune, I take no offence and even I understood that what I said could be elitist, thus the last part that you pasted.
I did feel it needed to be said, as a fellow SL allready kindly asked the same thing which wasn't listened too. There were just to many guys throwing in their 2 cents worth that had no place or right to since it doesn't effect them, but it does effect us. Hey, I have no problem with a different perspective either, but this is the first time I have seen TH (or any red name) since I started posting on these boards and that was when all of these guys came out of the wood-work, most admitting they have no desire to play a SL and or never were one.
I have no problem being a jerk if that is what is needed to get the point across, because as sad as it is, some people just do not understand anything else.

Like all the professions haven't been incredibly patient with the things that need fixed.

Glad you finally stopped by TH
But could you please give us a little info on what's goin on? The "In Concept" is important, yes, but what do the Devs envision for a Squad Leader? Maybe some top 5 answers
My deal is here is to represent what you guys envision for yourselves (within reason =P)
Honestly, the devs are open to your suggestions and I want to collect them, organize them and deliver them during the development process.
Dont you guys have a vision of what you want to be?
Problem is we're (well, I am anyway) kinda tired of the 1-way information superhighway. We give and give and give ideas to you guys, but we've yet to hear anything. Just some news of what they have planned, what they want to do, what they think of our previous ideas, etc... Acknowledgement of specific issues, What the original development concept of Squad Leader was, how the Dev's view grouping vs solo'ing, etc.
I hate to say it, but so little has changed that I feel your new in-concept thread is going to be a cut-n-paste of the last one. I'm sure some of us will happily re-submit our same ideas again, but some acknowledgement would help to avoid the "black hole" view the players have of such submitted ideas.
My major concern, recently, is are the devs really interested in grouping? Earlier posts indicated the Devs were trying to make the game "group-centric", but several decisions as of late seem to think they're shifting to a solo-ers game. With the new "uber loot" drops, solo-ing is stronger than ever. In fact, I can't think of anything specifically designed for a group to do, that a solo-er can't with half the headache.

I sure hope to god the Squad Leaders show up to the fan fest with plans for mobster-style knee capping of parties involved with the delay in _fixing_ the professions. I can tell you that the call for extra security in the fan fest forums will have to be two bouncer types for each dev on the property. Uggh, the red names disgust me anymore.

you don't want to hear it and devs don't want to hear it...but a SL should be the bard of SWG...plain and simple....

Yes we do...but feel free to go first and tell us what you plan. We're polite and it's your turn.

It would be helpful in suggesting new abilities/functions for our class, if we knew what our existing abilities did.. Exactly what they did... We think several of our abilities right now are broken or not doing what they claim, so it's hard to say what's overlapping or redundant.
