Got home last night and called up Sithbot. He told me the changes and stuff, I was excited.
Than he said some guest was talking negatively about the decision to make 2 pt pieces and was blocked from the chat room. Than the dude kept coming back in as a guest and was at that point starting to act irrationally (trolling).

The question came up of who it was and theHutts promptly threw my name out there. Also Darth Juice or Darth J(something, sorry! dont recall the name and Sithbot was unsure) apparently backed me up that I have been more supportive, so thank you for that!
Quite honestly I was a bit offended. Once again I was going to send all this in a private message but it was made public last night so might as well keep it that way.

Lets go ahead and say it. Most of these changes would have never happened if the people that have been making complaints did not have support from others in the community. Others inside and outside the realm of the "design team"
Without people getting onto bloomilk and "fighting the fight" nothing was going to get done because the people making the complaints would have just been shut down like they have been for 5 YEARS!! (and as I feel were doing to Lou's original post) So really, whether you like or not theHutts, I have been a (small, medium, large (who knows)) force for change (healthy change). It might have taken a long long time for others to see what I have been seeing for many years, but it has happened. And it has placed some faith in the design team that they are listening, something that literally has never been there before. The new play testing design looks awesome, changes did happen, etc. But things like bashing other people will destroy that faith as soon as it comes.


The changes are wonderful! it is a large step. Thanks for doing that, it is bold to make those decisions

1) As it currently stands in it's yet-to-be-published by the rules rep form, no characters in the bubble can be affected by any Force power. Not even one of their own affecting themselves and that doesn't require spending Force points. That's different.

2) As has been discussed, the biggest change is that characters outside the bubble can respond using Force to attacks/abilities from characters within the bubble, to the extent that said response does not affect a character in the bubble.

A FAQ will be forthcoming to address a few interactions that could use some clarification, for sake of convenience.

Lets Not let this go to an Argument here. I was the One Who Defended you Jen'ari. I am Darthjawa on There and Gamers.

I dont think that The Hutts meant it as slander. We just had a person last night that was a dissident, and trying to rabble rouse. We did not know who it was as they kept logging in on guest names.

I also was in the chat last night. My screen name on talkshoe and on Gamers is obikenobi1, and when it came up in the chat with the speculation going, I typed "no clue" because i didn't want to partake in that kinda talk, and thankfully neither did the show's hosts.

I just find it confusing Jen'ari that you'd bring this up here on bloomilk which is a much more public setting to call out theHutts but also bring up something that only a handful of people saw, but now more people are seeing. You don't need to take it so personally, because it makes the situation seem much worse than it was for both parties involved. I am not trying to disparrage you, just trying to prevent you from making a bigger mess out of this and leading to a toxic environment. People in the chat were actually talking about how excited you were about the changes, so I think besides that brief speculation on who it might be, i think overall you were put in a good light. It'd be best not not let it get to ya.

The contributions from people like you Jenari and also a lot of other people are appreciated! I know from being on the PT committee for V10 a lot of the issues that have been brought up over the years by you and others were talked about, such as making melee more viable. This game is in a good spot right now, and the last thing i think we all want is people getting hurt feelings over small slips of the keyboard. I don't think theHutts meant to slander you at all. It was just a brief instance of reckless speculation and we've all done it before at one point or another and we all wish we hadn't. So best thing to do is forgive and forget.

Why can't you listen to last nights show is there a reason? Most the time the recording shows up within an hour.

I'm looking at the interactions within the bubble more closely before calling the wording 100% final and posting it. But yes, that keeps things about as simple as can be.

2) as I posted above will definitely not change - that was the main goal.

Agreed, the bickering, finger pointing and anger needs to stop. Everybody love everybody and be the bigger man and all that. Changes were made to make the majority of players happy and we need to go back to the positive idea-making community instead of attacking designers for doing what's actually a pretty hard job I imagine. So no more angry posts from anybody about anything please? It's time to bring back the positive attitude instead of negativity which just poisons these boards and by extension the game.
