Squad Leader Archive

If you get the chance, please ask the developers what they really want to hear from the SL community. Its not clear to me what they mean by issues.

Do they want a bug punch list so they can focus on making the current abilities operational?

or

Do they want feedback on what we like, dislike, need, enjoy, hate, etc... so they cangradually evolve the class into something most of us would greatly enjoy playing?

If its the latter, then keep us informed oftheir vision for this class and its relationship to other classes in the game as it evolves. Right now our suggestions are kind of all over the board. If we can get a good vision statement (essay) from them, we cankeep our suggestions withinscope.

I thought I'd share with you the e-mail I received today sent to all the correspondents. I'm just copy-and-pasting the important excerpts from it, so you guys know where we stand:

"Just wanted to touch bases with you all and let you know where we are
in the process. We have collected all of your issues and put them in a bullet
point list. We then have 3 separate meetings (crafting, combat, other) with
allthe designers to go over the bullet points. We refer to your email for
clarification and suggestions. I take some notes to send back your way for
you to take back to the community.
...
How you can help us:
Hold off on sending a new report until we respond to your last one,
otherwise we won't be able to catch up. Also it would be very helpful
if you formatted your reports something like:

Subject line: [correspondent] Bounty Hunter Report July 28]
Body:
1)write one sentence that succinctly sums up the first issue (this
will become our bulletpoint for the meeting)
Paragraph on additional description of the problem
Paragraph on suggested solution (which could just be "please fix")
Links to any relevant threads if we need more info"

So, in lieu of this I will hold off this weeks report until they reply to the first one. Keep posting ideas for it, though, as it will be the next one I use.

Have a nice day!

Thanks for sharing the info.

I agree submitting a new list of issues when the last 5 weren't fixed yet was silly

Glad they realized it to...

Question is, how long do we think it will take them to "respond to your last one" ?That just means verbal response, not in-game fix response, no?

Here's to hoping we get a verbal response back on all the issues submitted (for all professions) by the end of the week, and in-game responses to appropriate issues before the end of August (thats a long way off though )!

This is a positive sign.I know that in time the Squad Leader profession will one that will be more effective and better equiped for actually 'leading' squads than it is now. We just have to have a little patience. Of course if nothing has been addressed in 6 months then I will fear the worst. Sorry AC2 player speaking here.

It sounds like Kevin is going to get in touch with each of us indiviudally. And I will bring the information here as soon as I have it.

Thanks for the update.
