Carbineer Archive

So far i'm liking the system, I was playing the first day on Naboo and hated it but then figured out why..duhh.

Now i'm on Tat, the xp has been adjusted with the new patch and things seem to be going good. I can't wait to get my hands on the E5 once it goes live since i'm an SL. Icons are cool, but some need to be redesigned since they make no sense, but hell they are better then those old symbols, I always hated those. I like how the game is turning into a more group orientated gaming experience, I even saw a few ppl running around with LFG above their heads. When was the last time you seen that?

They need more combat music.
They need to change the font of the text, too big and bold.
Group window UI needs work.

Is it fun? So far I think it is, and can only get better as we start to test the mid to high level content.

I now have Rapid Fire which is supposed to be a big damage special in Marksman along with the E11 Carbine that is about 35% more DPS than the DH17 Short if I remember the numbers I saw correctly.

I may look to get Master Marksman depending on the focus testing the next 2 days......but it sure is nice to wear Apprentice Carbine Specialist now....WOOT

This doesn't seem to be working for me. Everytime I click it, nothing happens, and no damage occurs to the mob. I /bug 'ed it in game, but I am interested if anyone else has gotten this to work.

Overall I'd say, so far, it's definetly a change for the better. I'm having a lot more fun at these low levels than the first time around.

I did have a quick question: it seems a few times, I've been able to hit things that are just beyond my maximum range (of 40m with the DH17). It's only when they're running away, whether I'm standing still or not. I'm wondering if this might be connected to the kiting issue I mentioned earlier in this thread. Only bringing it up if it helps track down bugs.

Marksmann 2232 sofar

started with 0021
saw that you get more XP per kill now, switched to get pistols and rifle xp too, especially pistols, since Im going to need that for SL.

Carbines feel good, I like that you can use your MM specials with the two other weapons too, you don't drop to bad in skill just because you use a different weapon.

Intersting:
If you group your skill level increases.
If you kill stuff to low for you "current" level you get less xp.

Grouping at those starter areas is only good for you if you lvl stays close to the lvl of the mobs.

I like this, since it enforces to group to work/play to gether.


In general: kill stuff close to your own level.

Well I finally made it to 1143 Marksman and almost to 2000 Scout with some 1010 Medic mixed in

The change in XP amounts is about 5X from yesterday.....so a big help. The DH17 Short Carbine in Carbines III made a huge difference too with 50% more DPS.

A problem that I see about the CU is the requirements for elite ranged vs elite melee.
To start on a elite melee profession you have to have two branches of melee weapon experience.
To start on a elite ranged profession you have to have one branch of weapon experience and one branch of Combat experience (which genereates at one tenth of the pace).
Now, I know the XP reqs for the Combat XP-branch are diffrent but the fact still remains that when the melee classes are starting to get to elite melee we will still be struggling with box three or four on the Combat XP-branch.

This is a balance issue that I hope will be adressed.

Since the radius never worked that isn't much to complain about.
