ViciousFett Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 So, it's been almost a month, and a couple patches later. What's the deal? Hey, guys -- We care a lot about the fact that you care about the appearances of your characters. In fact, the Mod system is my baby, largely because it allows players to customize their appearance to your liking. We have another, similar, one of my babies coming in the near future, which will allow even greater customization (you guys may have seen me hinted about it in recent interviews). Short form: this is real important to me, and we're not happy that we've created a situation that makes people unhappy. We didn't think through the ramifications of the bugfix that we've made, and we're acutely aware of the financial angle (cartel coins as well as in-game credits on the GTN) involved. We are still discussing potential fixes to the issue -- and there will be fixes -- but there are ramifications to all fixes. Players should keep in mind that previously, we had players who were upset in the other direction. We have a couple of directions that we can go, but we need to explore a couple of things, and regardless, it is not a fix that can happen instantaneously. I do think we can get something in a patch very soon. We are pretty sure we can avoid a solution that forces players to spend additional cartel coins, and I'm not interested in letting a situation linger that leaves the player's faith in what we are offering on the cartel market in a reduced state. It is incredibly important to me, and the rest of the SW:TOR team, that players have a high degree of confidence in the market as a whole, and how we deal with issues like this. This has been a learning experience for us, and won't happen again. In short: we'll fix this. Give us a little time to do so.

ViciousFett Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Good thing it hasn't been three months then... It will be after they get character transfers ready and put 1.7 on test server, then a month or so of testing/balancing (it is PVP content). You don't honestly think 1.7 is right around the corner do you? Edited January 29, 2013 by ViciousFett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackavaar Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 "A little time" doesn't equal 3 months IMNSHO In MMO development, 3 Months is like a week, especially with an issue like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
