Please enlighten me as to WHY you think anyone with more than 3 or 4 years of experience in Networking or Programming wouldn't instinctively know SQL inside and out?
Oh, and Smed. I'm getting the feeling you are cherry-picking posts. I'd very much appreciate a response to mine.
Not what I was saying. I know SQL/Oracle, it's hardly "easy stuff" and anyone who thinks they can recreate the pre-cu game (and for more than 4 people playing at once) is high. Seriously. Good luck with that far fetched dream though.
"cherry picking" posts? you've got to be kidding me. I should only answer the "this game is great.. keep up the good work posts"
Smed
Could you respond to an Entertainer's post then please? It would be nice to get a response on why our revamp was cancelled.
2+ month Publish cycle means I am waiting over a year before Entertainers are scheduled to even have a use again. Not before they DO. Just before they are scheduled to.
I don't think that's right. And more than that, I do not think that my profession should be an AFK grind mechanism to help people exploit respecs and get to level 90 in hours/days.
Devs? Can someone answer this please.
Smed
The entertainer revamp that was being worked on would not have addressed the issues that you all are asking for. We could have released what we had worked on, but you wouldn't have liked it. We delayed it so that we could do it right.
Very Good Answer IMO. I've only dabbled in Entertainer in the past, so what one would enjoy or not enjoy I can't speak to. My question is more along the lines of how do you determine what we will and won't enjoy? It's been my experience (your perception may be different) that changes are made with only a reactionary input from actual players and worse massive changes (the hardest to fix/rollback) are often dropped with little warning to reduce negative reaction.
Maybe more polls to get a quick feel if you're on the right track (just off the top of my head thinking about the bazaar poll). Without getting into too many flame wars, you could get a gut check feel to see if you're really moving in the direction the player base wants.
We gather information using polls, feedback on the forums, and focus tests.
Then why don't you use the feedback from the forums? I mean come on, were you there during the PRE CU riot thing in the gameplay forums I believe, it is proof that WE want pre cu back much more than this other crap. The polls could be effective, but you make dumb topics like the "Bazaar" poll. Make some serious polls that may alter gameplay. Heck, even make "Which game experience was the best" poll, get ready for pre cu to win, because that is what WE, the paying customers who have kept this game alive, Want.
You guys show through your actions that we don't have input, but you claim we do. We don't, and until you decide to listen, we just going to stay pissed off.

at least until there are more quests added to the game, it would be very nice for us all, the xp nerf on kashyyyk was a kick in the teeth for all player's below lvl 60.
Smed please take a look at this post.
please smed, also consider Quest XP for space quests.
sorry to bump my own post again
Although this isn't the fix you guys are looking for, it at least makes the game bearable until there is enough quests in the game
PLEASE respond to this..

So what u gonna do? Raise xp for quests? Add more quests? Or just raise xp for kills?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - I support a rollback and keeping & balancing the old combat system. ...and making SWG a better place to be. Your voice counts!
Ya know i hate the way the most asked question always gets the same crap answer which tells you nothing, oh and now the askers are getting Mocked.
Yes, im a Pre CU wanter aswell, but dont ya think all these "I want pre CU" threads mean something?
Why dont you take their requests into consideration instead of havin a little button that says "no rollback" for every thread you see?
Why dont you give better answers? and if you've answered before...link it. I got a ban because i didnt get a full answer, so reposted, which is what part of the ban is for. I did it in a polite manner aswell
This is a serious question, why dont you at least give a tiny little bit of a damn about these posts?
Its sad to know that you will probably ignore this extremely important subject, when from reading the forums, it seems like the most serious, for SWG.
:::I SUPPORT COMP MINI SUITS AND 6 STAT BUFFS!!!:::
Let's get all the bugs out of the game within 6 months. Maybe we won't hit it, but that's what we're shooting for.
Smed
Gotta be careful with that statement. Saying ALL the bugs within 6 months is quite a task I would imagine. Heck, back in a college (I feel old saying that and I'm only 24!) I would sometimes have to debug code on stupid little programs that just parse text files for an inexorable amount of time. (thanks alot Mrs Hippler...mmm...Mrs Hippler....what was I saying?) I wouldn't even want to guess at how many lines of code SWG has but getting every bug out really seems to be unattainable, ever, for no other reason than new things get added all the time.
Good luck with that though! I seriously hope you can achieve that.
obviously you're right. Everyone needs goals though and it's the right goal.
Smed
I agree, it is the right goal.
I'm not "Star Warsy" are you going to remove me too? Your skill at forum posting has increased by 1!
Ok we have all asked for this question to be answered many times. (I have been asking since page 53! )
Will you guys be able to add more quests soon for xp? Or can you just raise the xp for creature kills until more quests come out? So far it is impossible to level up. I have done all the worthwhile quests and am stuck at lvl 78. I dont see a real way to get 500k xp anytime soon.
We are looking into getting the xp for creature kills raised.

There has been an outcry on the forums for a roll back. As i understand the term Rollback it would mean rerurning to the old system and scrapping everything that happened since the NGE.
Please clearly state weather this is even possible and discribe what the end results would be if it were?
I will jump in and answer this honestly:
We are not doing a roll back. We are not planning a roll back. We are not discussing a roll back. Once again, we are not doing a roll back.I
Can you see the game being bug free? I can't.
I want a rollback mainly to get rid of the bugs, the bugs are the main things killing SWG, not the actual NGE. NGE code on top of the CU and pre-CU has just totally stuffed things up. I can't see the game ever getting fixed, unless there is a rollback, and the CU is worked upon.
Here's a bold goal -
Let's get all the bugs out of the game within 6 months. Maybe we won't hit it, but that's what we're shooting for.
Smed
6 months?????????????????
We want the game bug free NOW!!
Plus I don't hold any confidence, that the bugs won't be stamped out, as I know programming better than you do, maybe a dev should respond to this? Smed give one of your dev puppets the green light to answer!
Also why was the NGE not on TC for ages, why did we only have 2 weeks notice of it??? My time grinding Jedi was a waste of time, on 4 mof my accounts, when one would have done. I could have used the time, playing a CH or Bio-Engneer instead of grinding Jedi, if I knew the NGE was coming.
If there was an announcement in November about the NGE coming in about 6 months time, I would have had all 14 accounts active, making the most of the CU with it, and getting all my Jedi chars through to mastered, enjoyed their skills, enjoyed CH and BE, then would have welcomed the NGE with open arms, which could have been bug free, or not many bugs in game worth worrying about.
But implementing NGE within 2 weeks of announcement has just pissed everyone off!
Bottom line is smed, you're a nasty evil scheister!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You're out of time, SOE The whole 2.5 months shouldn't have been. The game was fine up until Nov 15th. If the CU was worked on, instead of devoting time to the NGE (including the many months prior to November), the game could possibly be totally bug free by now.
My account cancels on 2nd Feb, which was a waste as only played game for 1 day to get the life day gifts, will be resubbing when creature handler, Bio-engineer, scout, and ranger return, oh and the FS village.

Not enough of an answer, could you please elaborate a bit? What kind of fix? You leave us in the dark with your vague answer.

Lots of talk about the "secret" project which really isn't a secret anymore. We are doing a playable demo for E3 and Swede is working on the team that is putting that together. The project is actually going to be larger then just the demo and become a new themepark with a GCW theme (lots of Rebels v. Imperials) to it, which will be put into the game in publish 29.
The intention of this themepark is to cover our bases with E3 and develope a new set of repeatable, high end content for all of you.
The expansion team, which is no more, is now working on nothing but high end content that will be sent out in our regular publishes.

Thanks SpaceRancor! PLEASE tell me this GCW content will be for both PvE and PvP GCW participants...
That is just the High End Content that will be coming out for Publish 29. We want to do alot of different types of content for people to do at the high ends. Some of them would be things like class specific story arc missions, new dungeons similar to the DWB, PvP battlefields, GCW ranks and rewards systems, etc. Basically, we really want to give our high end players a lot of different choices of what they want to do when they log in.
Smed and whoever else from SOE is paying attention to this thread
I hate to say it but 70+ pages of responses in a few hours should be enough to tell you that something is deeply wrong with this game, and its proposed move forward It's just sad that you keep ignoring it...

John, what happened to your plan to reincorporate Creature Handler in some capacity?
No plans involving creature handlers are on the books.
I'm going to elaborate on this one - the devs aren't going to be adding Creature Handlers back to the game per se. They will at some point be adding a pet skill back to the game.. but it's not on the priority list and is likely outside the scope of the current publish plan.
Ok we have all asked for this question to be answered many times. (I have been asking since page 53! )
