Well you can't blame a person who doesn't know to post everyday they're not available to raid. But no Monday for me, or if desperate... would be an hour late at the most.

Cathar Enslaved During Cartel Maneuvering

Zooey: We have grave news tonight for Cathar across the galaxy. Your homeworld is currently under occupation by the Hutt Cartel.

Zooey: That's correct in this hour of crisis, we turn to resistance member Aric Jorgan on the ground on Cathar. Aric?

||Feed Shakes and the sound of Blaster Fire booms through the holo||

Zooey: Aric, are you there?

Aric: Sorry, Zooey. Yeah, it has been a tough first day here on Cathar. The jungles offer some cover but the Cartel's trandoshan hunters are merciless.

Zooey: I'm sorry, Aric, but at this time do you have any information behind this cartel action?

Aric: Yeah, I saw droids transporting prisoners to containment camps for processing, probably as slaves.

Zooey: So what is the resistance's plan of action?

Aric: The free Cathar, as a people, are split. Some see the Empire as a solution to this madness, others respect the Republic's promise of aide. I would say look to see more Cathar on the offensive fairly soon.

Zooey: Stay safe out their, Lt. Jorgan. Our hearts and prayers go out to the Cathar people tonight.

Zooey: As always we keep up with the news, so you don't have to... Angels, good night.

Non-VR Games / Holonet Frequencies Compromised

« on: April 25, 2013, 04:45:29 pm »

Holonet Frequencies Compromised

Zooey: Good afternoon, angels. This is Zoastria Tantalon for the Tantalon News Report.

Zooey: It has come to the attention of this broadcast that the holonet communication system has been compromised due to recent maintenance. Reports from early this morning indicate that holonet messages are now routed to third parties within the network. Bowdarr has the report.

Bowdarr: ||Shyriiwook|| Roooarrgh ur roo. Mu hu mwa gaa.

Zooey: I'm sorry, Bowdarr, we are having technical difficulties. Namely, translation. HK, can you translate?

HK-51: Proud Admission: Of course, master.

HK-51: Translation: I have a bad feeling about this. I cannot talk on the comlink right now.

Zooey: Remind me to send you next time, HK. As our reporter is unavailable for the story...

Zooey: The intergalactic holonetwork communicaiton system known to some in the trade as Whisper recently received a major overhaul within the past week. An unfortunate or purposely designed feature of the new system passes holonet texts to alternative users on the account provided they are of similar political alliance. Some have raised concerns of security on the matter. This reporter for one really doesn't mind this update.

Zooey: As always we keep up with the news, so you don't have to... Angels, good night.

Is it ironic that to this day, I never knew that FA was a PvP-oriented guild. I joined for the raiding... and the free cookies. Sorry I ate them all. You have to wait for the next batch.

Interesting thoughts though, T.

Zooey: In other news, we move from the sands of Tatooine to the manufacturing centers on Hutta where the Hutt Cartel has prepared to release a brand new Marketing pack. For this, we move to our Cartel Correspondent, Dulfy Avienne. Dulfy?

Dulfy: Yes, Zooey, the hutts are extremely happy in this new set. They have secured a select variety of lightsaber crystals as well as new armaments and armors. There are many more listed in this Cartel Pack invoice. With the large variety of the Vice Commandant's pack, the Cartel project massive profits for this fiscal quarter. Back to you, Zooey.

Patch 2.0.1 Delay Explained

Zooey: This just in, Angels. I am being told by a source inside Bioware that the patch delay is do to a defective UI setting.

||Reads Quote from Eric Musco||
I got the all clear to explain to all of you what the bug we encountered was to hopefully give some visibility into our decision. What we encountered was a user interface bug where buffs and debuffs were no longer displaying any form of graphical countdown to show their duration. AKA that little white overlay which disappears slowly as an ability is timing out was gone.

I know at first glance that might sound really minor, but think about it during your actual gameplay. Any class which has a DoT, HoT, debuff, buff, or proc that has a duration would no longer be able to "at-a-glance" see how long was remaining on that skill.

When looking at this bug we felt that it would make some Classes, especially those based around DoTs and HoTs very difficult to play. The last thing we want to do is introduce a bug which, for a subset of entire Advanced Classes, makes the game frustrating to play. Because of this we opted to push this Game Update until we could work on correcting the bug.

I hope that gives you all a bit of insight into the bug and our decision to delay the patch.

News Story: Patch 2.0.1 Delayed

Zooey: And bring us this live report is our very own HK droid. HK, what did the Bioware Corporation release today?

HK-51: I'm sorry master, but I have terrible information for you. I will attempt to repeat it exactly.

HK-51: Recitation:

||Eric Musco's Voice|| Hey everyone,

I wanted to give all of you a heads up that our maintenance will no longer be happening tomorrow morning (April 23rd) as mentioned above. We have discovered a pretty mean bug with Game Update 2.0.1 and we want to make sure that is addressed before we go live with that update.

We will give you more information about when Game Update 2.0.1 will go live as soon as we have it![/color]

Recording

Zooey: I see. What do you make of it, HK?

HK-51: Conjecture: It appears Bioware doesn't want to fix slicing or anything else at the moment. We appear to be on our own.

HK-51: Surmisal: Perhaps next week can get patched.

Zooey: That's terrible news out of the Bioware Quality Control Headquarters on Tatooine. We'll have more after this...
