I think for me, the #1 thing I'd like to see (if I could wake up tomorrow and "poof" it's in the game) is a stable-type structure that can house extra pets or allow them to be harvested. It gets tedious after ahwile having to run missions and such to gain funds (not to mention it cuts down on the amount of exploring I could be doing :smileywink,when asa ch I should be able to harvest. I It would be nice if I could tame a few animals (and the harvesting option would only work on wild creatures, not BE'd ones) and put 'em in a stable when they grow up, and be able to harvest hides from them (or meat, eggs, bone). This would be something that to me, would be a big morale booster.

Can I get AP bonuses to rocket launchers when I shoot a turrent? as it is, My Horribly expensive, slow, inacurrate rocket launchers are AP0. If a target is Vulnerable to a damage type, I should get a 4x ap bonus, not raw damage that is my most pressing concern.


so i don't get flamed here, a rocket launcher will do more damage to a light ap target with 49% blast resist than a target that is Vuln to blast. That is borked.







Rocket Launchers are AP3. I would also like to see a damage multiplier when hitting a hard target, similar to hitting an empty lair. It would also be cool if there was a damage multiplier when Commandos are grouped together.

But don't get any ap bonus when hitting a target vuln to blast. only if they are not vuln.

Ok Tiggs Don't go banning me if I get a lil um well angry cuz I have some hostilities about our profession *kiss kiss*


First 4 trees and one viable wepon? FOr 169 points we need more usefull skills.


Beef 2 Bang for our buck. Grenades are horrible, they hurt the thrower the ham cost is too much and the price to make these for a stack of only 5 is insane! Same with our heavy wepons They cost ot much to make there for not many make them if any at all and you only get a stack of 30. For the damage they actualy do this is Way to much!


Beef 3 The FT. The Flame throwe use to really rock then there was to many complaints so they nerfed it like 3 times with the Dot THe time delay and the Dots not always sticking, O and the dots not sapose to stack any more. Same with CMs There was complaints but did you nerf them yes only a tad ad give things to make up for it. Now we have the Fire blanket fire food. And water and you still give us no better dots? These were the things they did not have that made you nerf us. COME ON!.


Ok Unarmed we need unarmed 4 but we have crap for defense and no bonuses to that with commando.


And I will say this. For needing more points then many other professions most of them can out damage us and this is just not cool.


So long story short. We are not what we should be. Ask Garvin or even TH.


For being a 169 point combat profession we do not have the combat to show for it. IN PVP we are a joke pretty much. In PVE with the nerfs we are nwo a joke to riffleman swordsmen polearms. ANd a few others. Hope you toook the time to read this


O ya another big thing before i forget. WE have to be in melee range to do our specials yet we get that 2.5 accuracy thing against us from melee atacks whats up with that? And... well last thing I will say is Then we have unarmed as a pre req and once we hit them with a flame we have to wait 14 seconds plus another 2 to go unarmed ot take less damage. THis is a oxy moron no?


Ok ive said my peace.

I have been playing MCH since release and have MCH on three servers. So, this response might be a little jaded, I have been through alot. And, quite frankly, I am quickly loosing what little faith I have that this game is worth keeping. I have seen this "Getting Info" before alot. I never see any response or follow up. The Correspondent Combat Rebalance is the latest of many past examples. The stickies are ignored, or correspondent is ignored, our forum is ignored. Wait, stike that last one. Some one popped in long enough to ban and suspend some of the most respected CH's in the game causing them to just quit. Then followed it up by stickying an insulting post. I am a IT/Customer Service professional and have been for 30 years. I have seen BBS's run by teenagers that showed more professionalism. You and SOE, my dear, now have a serious credibilty and trustproblem with your customer base. That is the first thing you should work on.


Ch specific issues are:


1. Decide if you are going to keep the CH in the game. If not, announce it.

2. Decide if you are going to allocate any resources to the profession. Then announce it either way.

3. Give timelines and stick to them.

4. Get some people who are good at Customer Service and communicate REGULARY.

5. If you are not going to do the above, quit asking for input and ignoring it.

Hope springs eternal but geesh how fricking naive are we?


Does anyone who has posted really believe that the Devs are going to honor us with any meaningful feedback. How many times do they have to display their total arrogance for the player community in general and CH in particular before we get the message.


I have been hanging around six months just to be with my guildmates once in awhile but everytime I see a "we really want your input" crap post from the Devs my blood boils.


They are clueless as to how to fix the game and too imperial to admit it. BTWIMHO JTL sucks too.





So long and thanks for all the fish.

Hello, like a lot of you guys here Im a retired MCH that closed his account because SOE and the SWG development team couldn't care less about the CH profession. This post is the best proof (like we needed another one) that they don't care. So whyam Ihere? because I just received the 10 day free invitation to come back....but you know what? I don't need to go back to see nothing has changed or maybe yes...it has worsen. I cancelled my account after the famous "rebalance" nerf I was a MCH at the time and playing wasn't fun anymore like almost all of you have already stated we hadno purpose at all. I played Everquest for a long time and then I played SWG almost from day one...and I must say that as a customer I am really dissapointed by the way SOE has treated players inthis game. I don't know what is more frustrating the game glitches or the lack of respect the SOE staff has for the community. So again, why am I here...to say thanks but no thanks I'm not going back for 10 days just to see nothing has really changed.
