Combat changes not ready for primetime

[goboy]

<DIV>I think the title states my opinion.  Unless SOE is relying solely on Beta feedback, then I don't belive this is ready for release.  I do not get the feeling that any bugs or concerns we are voicing are being heard.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My biggest beef is the fact that a few days before release major changes are still occuring to the system.  Add in there are still major bugs (at least on test), and the combat changes just seem to be rushed.  I highly recommend delaying DOF and update 13 by one week to do a stress test of the patch. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Showing a dedication to putting out a solid product would win SOE more customers then putting out a product on time that has not been thouroughly tested.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<P>To fully test the combat changes, I recommend opening up copying of 1500 live characters to test for one week.  After the week, roll test back to the pre-copy phase.</P> <P>That would interrupt our playstyle, but garner more feedback.</P> <P> </P>

I am sure the disks are already shipped.  Gone Gold so to speak. Any changes to the system in the past couple of weeks will be patched not contained on the disk. ~Eva <div></div>

They aren't relying on our feedback at all it seems. The only recognition on the boards is 'hush, we want it like this'. <div></div>

 which may = we have what we want off of beta, it is good, and we dont want to put it on test until the release date on monday, here's something to play with until then..?? I'm basicly holding all coments until after mondays patches have hit the server.. almost willing to bet that it will be different then what everyone has experienced both on beta AND especially test to this day.. oh,.. and has anyone bugged the fact that when you pull up the persona window, it pulls up the detail tab, but shows faction, and you have to select faction, then back to details to see it? <div></div>

<DIV>Why put patches on test if you are not hearing or responding to what we have to say?  </DIV>

<P>I will just add my voice to the others that feel our feedback is being ignored.</P> <P>Simply stated:  Go live with the conditions currently on Test, and SOE will have account cancellations coming in faster than you can process them.</P> <P>The choice appears simple:  Get it right before it goes live, or you will have to pay attention to what those on Test have been saying for the last month -- only you'll be hearing it much louder from the players on the live servers.</P> <P>Then, maybe, you'll listen.</P> <P> </P> <P> </P>
