Oh, happy day! BioWare's Georg Zoeller has posted a new entry on the Star Wars: The Old Republic official site addressing the incredibly frustrating ability delay that has had players up in arms. Zoeller states that the team has found a number of issues, including abilities on cooldown being displayed as usable, unreliable instant abilities, and significant input delay in "certain game situations, most notably (but not limited to) fast-paced PvP."

The team has worked out the two former bugs and is scheduled to get the respective fixes onto the public test server in the next update. Work on the latter issue is in "the later stage of testing," and the team hopes to be able to roll it out onto the live servers "very soon." Here's to hoping that when Zoeller says soon, he means "soon" and not "soon[TM]."

[Update: A second dev blog, this one by BioWare's Jeff Hickman, explains the situation with Ilum PvP and why the team decided not to rollback Valor points in the wake of recent exploits. He does promise that the team will use game metrics to take action against the worst offenders if merited.]

Everyone has an opinion, especially when it comes to making your own superheroic persona to represent you in things like City of Heroes. Cryptic Studios learned this from their experiences and they're taking player feedback into consideration as they continue their work on Champions Online. That's right, you too can be an armchair developer for Champions!

If you have some ideas for what you'd like to see in Champions, just drop by the Cryptic website, log in, and fill out their feedback form. Really, it's just that simple. No beating up any thugs or avoiding super death rays. Plus, if you're lucky, you might just find some of your suggestions in the game. Sounds like a good deal to us. We've already stuffed the ballot box asking for rocket launchers that fire flaming chainsaws.
