Q naked.

Basically this.

I was one of the lucky ones that had just logged on before the Weekly Crash {WC}...so lost only 1 WZ. But from my perspective the server might as well never have come back up because the real time loss killed my chosen activity. I feel for those that got finished with whatever goals they had and logged off just before the WC unaware. Now they get to log on tomorrow to lost weeklies, any organizing they might have been doing etc. etc.. I wonder how many players finally won that "Pig" inside the rollback window {lol}? Keith talks about empathy....these are the people I feel for. The ones screwed over...and likely to be confused for a few moments as they wonder what happened. My empathy is for those players out there that have lost confidence in this service. For those that wonder if they should even bother since they cannot trust the integrity of the game anymore. I mean since this can happen any time....with an established pattern {of sorts}...the only question is when is it going to bite me in the *** next time?

Take your time at this point.... I know this little hiccup was just enough to ruin what I was doing {as they usually do}.

Something needs to give because the Jedi Knight I chose to represent the Imperial faction on Iokath {or any future crossovers I do} would think it swell if I could actually communicate with 100% of the players that are also representing the Empire on Iokath.

Players were basically making toons over and over...removing the legacy ears, implants, relics, and gear sets and med packs..,then deleting the characters and doing it all over again. They did not want players doing that....essentially abusing the fact that as long as they deleted the toon before lvling they could keep repeating the process.

While I never made a boosted toon myself,....as I understand it that feature was deactivated due to player abuse.

Yeah I am scratching my head at how they did not even consider that.....can make the "crossover" pointless to a lot of folks if they cannot actually talk in gen or see gen chat from others needing a group etc. Guess I will just pretend I am an NPC in the region lol.

Okay thanks. Just too bad if a player does the faction crossover there that they are sort of gimped communication wise. I admit I never even thought about it before making a Rep player represent the Empire there {would have anyhow}, but knowing they did not even think about this aspect in design does piss me off slightly. Par for the course.

Just curious, but how does a Republic player representing the Empire on Iokath actually communicate with Imperial players representing the Empire {lol}? I admit I have not tried asking in game nor have I actually tried to team up in the area yet. But I chose to represent the Empire there on at least one character and would like to be able to communicate with other players also representing the Empire there {not just other Reps that decided to go Imp for the area} without using /say or just randomly joining them on the field for pvp. If I missed something, then I apologize.....but all I am seeing is gen chat from other Reps {no matter whom they support on Iokath}. Sort of defeats the purpose of representing the Empire {or Imps going Rep for Iokath}, but not being able to actually communicate properly with my chosen faction is a bit of an oversight to say the least.

You are as delusional as Holocron.

If my 5 years in this game has taught me anything it is that this team is not capable of foresight. Aside from their substandard coding skills and communication...they are also incapable of even the most basic understanding of human behavior and psychology. The only exception I would make would be for the story writers...they clearly understand behavior. If you have been around long enough you may have even seen a few /facepalm moments your self. There are coding errors, then there are decisions that leave them to reply "we never expected the players to do that/play the game that way". Forget that the scum of the game find and capitalize on their lack of understanding almost immediately.

You are 100% right. You have every reason to be pissed off...and you are not alone. This event was poorly planned {no surprise}. Like yourself....many many Vets have been trivialized in one form or another over the life of this game....this is the latest iteration of that. One cannot help but think it is being done on purpose just to cause emotional reactions. Some more "paranoid" than I might even think it as some form of passive-aggressive action against vets. Perhaps they just want us all to quit playing so they can either let the game die or push those with institutional memory out of the way as they cannot bare having people around that have witnessed all their failings as devs, coders, and/or communicators.

Well said OP.

Basically. Lest we forget they also cry the whole time they are here, get the game to change to their liking, then leave anyhow...leaving the rest of us with **** we never asked for.
