Yes, but with all due respect, we were promised after the CU to give you 6 months, after the NGE you said to give you 6 months to fix all the issues, and you'll have to forgive me but it reads as a carrot on a string.  Why is it that all the features you keep taking away from this game are the ones I enjoy

There are a number of players who have the ability, because of who they are and what they do,  to advertise and promote this game to literally millions of people... not hardcore games players...not necesarily people who'd normally play MMOs... the people you want to get playing.  You address the issues, and there's those of us who have the ability to advertise this game to more people you could ever afford to advertise to.

And why for heavens sake, don't we have 1 Friday a month where you do this sort of interaction with the players and devs.  A Monthly Session where cards are layed on the table.  More has been accomplished with player communication in this thread in a few hours than in the last year

Please join us for our Stratics HoC Chats, the next one is tentatively scheduled for April 19th.


These chats give no information of substance.

Partially because they are confined to the current Publish, which makes no sense. Those are issues that are already being addressed, so you would be better off writing a FAQ for each Publish instead. It would take less time (>3 developers sitting at their computers waiting for an hour each to answer questions they already have on the forums? Just consolidate it into one draft of a FAQ) and allow you to take questions regarding issues that are NOT currently being handled by the development team.

Dear sirs,
 
I understand your position on the target lock issue. However, I would like to inquire if there might be any hope for some sort of target-lock or non-mouse cursor positional targetting in *NON-COMBAT* situations?
 
For example:
 
Targetting a person then targetting a ring in your inventory to propose unity?
Targetting a person and keeping that person targetted so you can do a series of emotes?
Targetting an object in your home to make decorating/customization a reality?
Targetting a musical instrument like a Nalargon and keeping it locked so you don't stop playing if the mouse quivers
...and on and on
 
Again, no problems with no target lock in combat/PvP. But is there any way that some consideration can be given to the non-combat usage of maintaining a target lock/mouse cursor-less target?



Yes.  We are working on ways to improve targeting in non-combat situations as part of Publish 29.


Can you PLEASE post an announcement with a timeline (yes, I know you can't always follow them exactly). At least give us a sense of how long it will take to get these publishes out.

First question to ask "are you satisfied with current state of the game" would do nicely.





Do you think we need a poll on that one? I'll just go out on a limb here and say most people aren't satisfied.

Smed




Id pull that limb back in and try not to be such a smart azz. You know what this guy is sugesting, he wants you to take the player bases opinion into consideation when plannig new ''iconic'' content. thx




you're right.. I was only trying to acknowledge the elephant in the room here is all. sorry if I was a smart azz

Smed




you know, be a "smart azz!" seriously! I like the idea that there's someone at the top with a backbone and isnt afraid to show it (not that you usually dont: eg- doughnut anyone?)

My hat's off to ya, and I hope to see more of this as the community bucks during the transition of what I hope ends in a game that feels like Star Wars, not... whatever 67% Jedi is.


(insert standard obligatory smuggler complaint here)

If you don't want me to "play the forums," then I suggest you make time playing the game more rewarding and less repetitive than "playing" here!

question for u Mr. Smedley

well. i bought this game ... i started playing it, i spend multiple hrs each day to become a jedi and i did, pre-publish 9.. i was kinda unique ( same as all jedi were back then ) well.. then i spent 363 days grinding it too full template, i quit for a short while after the CU came out... and bought WoW... played wow ( got a 32 rogue ) be4 i turned back too SWG, my thought was... "hey ive worked thiiis hard to get a alpha profession, yea theres alot of them but i dont care, im one of them " so i stick in the game and i end subscription to wow.... so I played started to go PVE to get loot to sell and to buy skills tapes, and to get a better saber and all.. grinded multiple templates to find one that fit my play style ( ended up with MLS, 4404enhancer/4000 healer... and ye I liked the game again... well that was many days invested =P ..... so ye then *KABOOOOM* ( sound effects in this reply ) NGE was announced and I was asking friends what this was... and i was told... well the thing i remembered burned my bum the most was that everyone will be given jedi... but ppl whom were jedi would be elder jedi .. i was ok... and then ppl whom unlocked 1hr b4 NGE would be elder jedi ? **edit** ? .. and u say u will reward us elder jedi ... what do u give us ? a colour crystal, a robe and beeing able to turn blue ?...  !!!!!+!!!!PLUSS?!?!?!!! i had to grind even MORE to get to the point I wanted ( PvP ).... i quit the game... but I still keep contact with my guild on ttheir ventrilo... then some random day.. i hear one of em say.. "omg Ritor u have a twin force cluster crystal in ur merchant tent.. " and i ask "and ? " "well thats a pre pub 9 pearl u know" "yea i know i respond" well thats like a gift to the REALLY old jedi vets of the game, they actually let them stay good"  
Well then i felt apreciated... and i started playing the game again... didnt like it but hey felt apreciated.. then ppl started the whining about em and you guys told them that it was bugged and would be fixed... hmmm then i didnt feel apreciated any more and quit..

Julio sayd in his posts that they apreciated us vets of this comunity,,, how ?

by basecly making EVERY SINGLE MINUTE WE SPENT IN THE GAME TO THAT POINT !!
WASTED!!!!

now I wanna know why u screwed us vets over like that ? and told us u apreciated us... ?

regards
SWG Veteran hoping for a response..

ok. Maybe you're right. I think what you're saying is "I'm a loyal customer that thinks the game isn't in shape to where I should be paying". Is it entertaining you?

Smed

 
To be honest Smed its like 10% of the fun we ones had.
 
what i loved was the way i could get diffrent skills mix then up and try things out. I guess somone thought that it was hard to know what way to go, but what if there was a hint guide on how to set up you skills for your needs?
 
It is good to see you in the forums and i hope you will be here more often
 
the only thing keeping me and the friends i got left in the game is tha we are hoping to get some version of teh game we ones loved
