Hows it all going in there? I cant play on TC (puny dial-up plus never bothered to play there before...impossible). Have been reading some of the juice on new carbines (DXR6 is energy now? Wow...). What else is going down in there...tell me all!!

My take on it is overall very positive. That being said, I did get pwned bya gorg, a spice fiend, and a bantha. The newbie creatures hit very hard (and me without my armor) so I only made it to Marksman 0-1-2-1 tonight. Hopefully by tomorrow I can give a better update once I've made it to Novice. BTW, how does a carbine with over 700 max dmg plus 76 cold dmg sound, hehe?

From my first hour of playing: from novice MM/novice scout to 0010 Novice MM
Nice is:
if you examin your weapon it will tell you
a) what DPS you do regading energy or kinetic damage
b) if the weapon has an elmental attack to how much DPS it does in addition to the energy/kinetic damage
c) the total amount of damage
Very Important is:
with CTRL + mouse click on toolbar you can autorepeat a ability which you have drawn into your toolbar (a small sign will diplay it as checked). You can do this with some specials too (only tested for one special so far, so Im not sure if it will work for all).
And you can "interrupt" it by another attack.
E.g.
CTRL - click on F1 toolbarslot, with standard ranged attack, select target, press F1 = continiously /attack target
press F2 with other ability, as soon as the current attack is done, the ability from F2 is excuted (like healing/... ).
You cant equip a weapon your not certified for anymore.
Running up hill feels like running up hill. You realy get slower the greater the slope is. A Womb Rat running up hill outruns you easily getting out of range.
I miss the displayed distance next to my target. It still is in the upper right window, but its not anymore obove the target in game.
I dont like the new icons because they are more pictures. I would like to have pictogramms rather then "full drawings".
I dont have anyclue how my attributs work so far.
If you equip your weapon you canT run as fast as without a weapon.
Groups are limited to 8pp. If group member seem to disapear from the group window, resize the group window. They should reappear.
Thats it so far... gonna do some more playing later on testcenter
my ingame name is : liong
I probadly will go: master carb, master squad leader, and rebel.
EDIT: corrected typo regarding running with weapon. you CANT run as fast as without a weapon equipped.
Thx TAfirehawk

I've not found anything I like so far. I played for 30 minutes and ended up with 8 pistol xp and 8 carbine xp... Thats all I could get... I hope things change soon, or casual players like myself will take off. I also don't like the pics... I have a hard time telling what is what and they are quite distracting (on the toolbar). And why do they INSIST on changing the fonts EVERYTIME we have a major change? I just got used to the last change!

regarding the fonts
yeah the new ones are ...
bad
regarding xp
it might be bugged (I have read it somewhere but dont know if it was a red name).
have a look eye out on the devtracker and the appropriate threads for TC5.
Mos eislys/bestine starter area is a bit crowded but if you group youll get a fair amount of weapon as well combat xp.

Typo there, you CAN NOT move as fast with a ranged weapon equiped.....melee is same, but ranged is slower.

As far as Carbineer Feedback, well we are doing Marksman.....
For those getting killed too easy, well they only setup/scaled creatures on Tat around the starter cities.....they forced you to go to Tat for a reason..... Plus they are tweaking everything, did you expect this to be ready for LIVE the first day? Give them a break....

Ahh...I see. So you have to level up as you would with a new character. I will keep my eyes glued to the Carbineer forum for reports once people level up, maybe sometime at the end of next week someone who plays 24 hrs a day will hit Novice Carbineer. 
Is it also true that some of the new carbines are only lootable/created from new schems? I guess the weaponsmiths also need time to get their hands on the schems so we are probably looking at over 1 month of testing at least which is a bit more reassuring.

This goes LIVE in a month.....Frogs will be adjusted to speed things up once the Devs get what they want tested.....I suggest you read the In Concept Forum and Dev Tracker.

This is simply by not following the guidelines set forth by the Devs....STAY ON TAT AND GROUP UP. Not to mention you can heal yourself....
I will be on TC shortly and glad to help you get started.....but the key is stay on Tat and avoid solo play.
