Thread: What should I do?
Tastok wrote:Fah is right, but that doesn't mean we have to like it. I don't have a lot of time to spend playing games, so I want to maximize my experience in the time that I have. I'm lucky if I can squeeze in a couple hours every other night to play. The group dynamic always took too long for me. It frustrated me to spend 20 minutes at a base waiting for everyone to arrive, then getting missions and making sure everything was in order before wandering out. By time I actually started "doing" anything I was running out of playing time. Having to rely on others in-game can be frustrating and time consuming.Before the CU, Iwould think aboutwhat I wanted to do in-game on my ride home from work. When I finally got the chance to log, if I wanted to do some hunting, I could travel to my destination, pull my pets and get to it. No muss, no fuss. I enjoyed the independence the game provided for me. This also limited the things I could do. With the profs I wanted to be, CH, Ranger, Pistoleer, I knew I couldn't go after Krayt, or take on many of the caves and dungeons...and I was ok with this. Now, based on how I play the game...or rather want to play the game...my options have become further limited. Ranger is useless (and I love the idea of being a Ranger) and CH seems to be reduced to being a zookeeper. They did improve the punch of Pistoleer, but without support, I'm not sure what good it is.I'm gonna give it a chance and see if I can figure out a way that this works for me with my current profs. If I can't...it'll be a sad day when I say goodbye.
I'm thinking exactly the same thing. I don't want to mess around finding a group to play with, I want to go out and do what I want to do.
At the moment, because of the complete fcuk up with Chimaera (rollback to last Friday) all my pets are lvl 2-7, and even though I can have 3 of them out, they still can't do anything.
Anything I wanted to do has been broken, or is now useless out of a group.
Instead of making it 1 respec every 12 hours for the next two weeks, I want infinite respecs. How can I expect to find what I like if I respec, find the template doesn't work, then have to wait with a useless template for the next 12 hours? Especially as (realistically) people can only respec once a day (due to work or whatever).
Badly though out, badly carried out, and badly handled. We pay these people for goodness sake!
Their is the cancel button.
I used it
I don't hate the idea behind the CU, I hate the bugginess and known problems that were pushed forward. I refuse to pay to alpha test this product again.
Nuff said!

The whole reason for the combat upgrade was to do away with some professions that outpowered others and to balance out PVP and PVE. Take TK for instance. Before the CU I could go to Dathomir and kill rancors like they were durni's outside of Coronet. That's way overpowered. Yes, it was nice to have something that powerful and have no worries, but it was also too unbalanced when you consider a pistoleer or rifleman took5 times as long to kill the same creatures. Ever since the beginning people have been flocking to the FOTM (flavor of the month), or the most powerful profession they could find. PVP was unbalanced thanks to bugs that allowed exploits and the imbalance of the combat professions. Something had to be done. Everything is now way more balanced than it ever was.- Actually, it isjust as unbalanced.
PVP is now about tactics and strategy, not standing there spamming specials. - What strategy does a melee temp have against a ranged one? The lunge 2 might have been excessive, but it at least provided a tool for melee against ranged.
PVE is now about teamwork to achieve a common goal, not one wookiee soloing giant dune kimo's.You won't have one person soloing krayts or one person soloing phat loot mobs. -Its called using a turret. It still can and will be done.
The days of hording loot items and selling them for outrageous credits is over. -Um a +5 LS speed CA is selling for about 5-10Mil. I guess that idea just got shot dead..And the rich are still rich..The new system only hurts the nooblest and people who do missions for credits.
Yes, the items will still be expensive, but people will be less inclined to take advantage of otherswhen grouped. -Ninja loot anyone?

Just fyi it has nothing to do with the CU, this issue came up during the last phase 4.
Just stick with sabers. Theres still crystals and pearls out there. They might not be great but its probably still a better alternative than powers at least for grinding out your temp. I have just "ok" crystals and with armor break, I still do decent damage and have no problem killing things.
Just hope that they fix it soon. Doubt it though because I think they stopped the drops from krayts because the devs realize the game is so out-of-balance that everyone can solo an ancient krayt except for jedi. They probably stopped the drops because the market would be flooded with uber pearls. Just a guess though.
