A Message from the Community Manager

have you look at the dev tracker?

I was thinking about making an entire thread about this but decided to simply post it here.

Dear Community Managers. Help us to understand what it is you do exactly.

How many hours do you work per day?
How does your typical day play out?
What does your job require you to do?
What do you enjoy most about your job?
What do you least about your job?
Do you feel that in order to manage the community you have to be an active part of the community?
Does company policy prevent you from maintaining a close and friendly relationship with the community?
Do you simply treat your job as a job and have no personal attachment to the environment you foster?
Do you think that maintaining a more personal presence on the forums, joking around, making off topic comments, replying to feedback threads and alike would be beneficial to improving the overall community experience on these forums?

Do you have plans to bring back the companion kits from the Beta? It is getting boring to have the same one companion, often opposite alignment for each spec. We want to see that variation and choice and you folks had it already in Beta.

I never played in Beta, what were the Companion Kits?

You were able to change role in a limited way, but the idea was really nice. And it would solve a lot of problems if it would actually see fruition, in a better approach: get any of 2 comps`s skills switched. Or have every companion have all 5 roles already and you only pick one and it will just give you the new skillbar and stance/s.

Forgive me, Mr. Gonzalez, for being off-topic, but I have a song dedication for you.

Why don't you guys try and get to know the local Austin community?
How about you guys setup an event some Friday evening where you all dress up in swimwear and get some plastic lightsabers with fluorescent blades and a giant pool of jello and go at it with the locals? oh and some black lights to make the sabers glow.
And webcast it for those of us who cannot attend?

Or, as a far cheaper and more effective alternative, why don't you (the community team) and the developers actually release some more information on the things people want information on? Because I'm pretty sure if you did that it'd actually go a long way to helping.

On a more serious note, what`s the ETA on refreshing missions in Crew Skills? The randomly "vanishing" missions, which need searching by reloads and zoning. With this new predictibility patch philosophy, this is the best time to make Crew Skill missions predictable as well, or, as Mr. Peckenpaugh says, more readable, more predictable, and less chaotic.

I have. I have also seen zero hard answers on hard questions, and very little to address some important questions which have been around for a very long time. This whole thing is a farce.
