Squad Leader Archive

not very specific, but hey, something is better then nothing right?

I'll believe it when I see it.

The fix is to return us to the level of crappiness that we've been at for the past few months. They're going to make the commands they broke with the last major patch functional again. They probably won't make them actually do anything useful while they're at it, just undo whatever damage they had done.

This isn't something to get excited about. This is the exact opposite of something to get excited about. I'd rather the SL's completely useless commands stayed broken, because the fact that they're fixing them means that they still haven't come to understand they weren't even worth having in the first place. In other words, the thought going through the Devs' collective mind at this point is probably something like this:

"Wow, the Squad Leader's are complaining a lot this week. A lot of their complaints talk about us breaking something in the last patch, so I guess that's the problem. If we fix that we should be able to ignore them for four more months."

I wouldn't be surprised if they broke the commands on purpose with the last patch just so they could fix them and stop us from claiming they never did anything to fix the profession. Now SLs will only be able to say, "They never did anything to fix our profession except repair damage they did fixing other professions."

Una, i don't like people mocking devs because i met more than a couple in beta and in TC and they do care about everyone. But some professions are, sadly, low priority over others. Things like mounts affect CHs (at least 45% of people on any given server). SLs affect, what, less than 1% right now? So yes, they do care, but there's a priority for everything. Working on stuff like the warren or act 2 quests concenrs more peoples than SLs.

I'm not saying you guys shouldn't get fixed or get any attention, quite the contrary. Sometimes things become TOO LOW priority and that's just plain wrong. But i think you guys should be happy they have done SOMETHING, as most of them are very busy with the TC patch and testing/fixing it right now. So it's a step in the right direction, even if it is a small step
