I'd have to agree with the original poster. How is he a troll for sharing his opinion? It would be nice if everyone could keep the posts constructional without turning to childish insults. And really... this was a much needed change. I'm really tired of getting taken out along with nearly a full group by 3 cm's/rifleman in 5 seconds. That's just wrong that a full group of master professions can be taken out by a handful of two professions. I know it sucks to have power taken away from you but it's for the better of the game and most if not everyone who's not a cm would agree.

couldnt agree more.

I wouldnt have even posted here if the original poster wouldnt have been met with such anger for expressing his opinion.

Well there little suba I'll tell you why we get taken out in 5 seconds. Did you not see in my post that was against 3 or more cms? 3 cm's throwing poison into a group is death to all. I know you want to be the all mighty pvper able to take out entire groups with a few of your cm friends but it looks like that's not how the game was meant to be played since they changed it now was it? Take a hanky, you're gonna need it.

Few things coming froma CM since the 3rd week of the game. A, CM's needed a kick in the nerfticles. They destroyed raids and made PvsP a 1 sided fight...anyone that couldnt see that is a moron or inexperieinced. There is NOTHING wrong with what they did in patch 9.3 with the exception of maybe either giving innocs to CM's or allowing them to craft them instead of docs. My 1 thing I dont like is CM's have next to nothing they can craft to profit from, docs make all the money. 9.3 did nothing to change that, but other then that /cheers for 9.3 finally.

Frankly i dont know why they didn't just take out the incap ondisease, it takes so long for it to do any damage most of the fighting is over by the time a mind pool could be half black. The first "fix" made two complete columns of cm worthless. This one just finishes the job.

I have 2 characters on tarq, and i haven't played more than afew hoursfor 2 weeks cuz of thepending fixes to cm. Besides, how many jantas do you kill before it gets really boring. One character is CM/pistoleer and the other is CH/Swordsman. I started with the previous because i liked the idea of being able to heal, and basically support the group with poisons in pve and pvp.

I like how the true combat professionals like brawlers and marksmen love to **edit** about how cms aren't a real combat profession. ANYONE can grind out ANY profession in a weekend, but it has taken mealmost a year to find the rare resources, and a second account, to make the good stuff.

With the high SP necessary to become cm I only had 4 points left for anything else, so i did what everyone else in a specialized profession does, i started a second character to support the first.

I dont use pets anymore (mostly worthless now) on the other character cuz they just get killed, or i do trying to heal them, Im much better off solo. I would probably drop it for something else, but I really liked CH when it worked.

Im not saying im quitting the game and never coming back, but I feel that any more time invested could be wasted by some sweeping, poorly thought out, change brought on by a loud fraction of a percentage point of people who feel if they dont win everytime, someone is cheating.

As I log in less and less, (andI'm not the only one) and start playing other games, I doubt i will want to keep paying for accounts i dont use.

Great work by the devs? I have to agree with the CM's.... go troll some where else. My biggest problem is by far that Doc's got the AoE cures.

Someone coming onto a profession's board and saying that he thinks the latest publish has done a good job balancing the profession now counts as trolling?

Actually, yes. If he wanted to give the "Horray" feedback, there is a perfectly good thread in the In Live forum specifically for feedback on release 9.3. Bringing it here smacks of trolling, though I will admit that this posteris a very polite troll and generally welcome him in any future discussions about combat medic balance.

maybe you shoudl learn to pvp then ...

Maybe you should practice what you preach... cm is not real pvp. It was an avenue for people who don't know how to pvp. Sucks to be the guy that thought he was the all mighty for being the most tactless prof to have it taken away with the release of a patch. Oh well... back to your stacker templates.

Though I strongly disagree that arapMYfortune is being completely honest with his/her experience and his/her argument is rather loose in base as well as many other of the opposing arguments. I don't think neutrineaux acting like an ass, insulting people, reallycountered any of the arguments.

these are the same lame posts all over again. eventually, instead of critical insights, answering these post rationally simply "feeds the trolls." my remarks are intended to be troll-like retorts to troll-like posts. they were specifically tailored, after years of marketing research, to provide irony in the "you are one, too" vein.

and besides, how do you know i am acting? huh?

CMs didn't diserve to be nerfed, a good doc who PvPs should know the proper template to survive and heal.

Thank you.

Though I do believe that some form of resistance (layer or whatever) should be added to armor (it would supply more depth more or less). The innoc BS is just annoying and inappropriate.

Thanks again.

I do however respect every opposing viewpoint.

every one but mine?

while i respect manyviewpoints, dissenting or otherwise, i also reserve the right to make critical response in the mode which i deem appropriate. i do strive to maintain control within the boundaries setforth in the rules of the fora. but i make no apology for being childish, assinine, troll-like, unpleasant, jackass-like or otherwise, thank you very much. all of these options seem acceptable in this format, at least based on the bulk of my reading of same.

and i am even occasionally constructive and helpful.

I am a Combat Medic, I like being one and I likehow it was pre-nerf...however, to have jackasses like neutrineaux

ouch! ok, you are complaining about me name-calling? (hint: ask your non-swg friends if you don't get this part.)

trolling our forums waving our flag like some sort of "leet" hero

you mean "1337" hero, i hope. i prefer the anti-hero motiff, personally. batman is much cooler than superman, IMHO

is as he said "stoopud"(which when you think about it sounds like he istrying to say stupid with faketeeth on).

yeah, my bad. i left out a "u" -- it should have been "stoopuud." ok, it is a 1337 d00d3 anti-hero thing. i don't get it either. but the fake teeth imagery is nice, if you need an aid in visualizing "stoopuud." but there is that name-calling hipocrisy problem again...

I was so taken back by how utterly pointless and dumb his/her

his. women, thank God, are generally more genteel.

and i had a point. whether i conveyed it effectively is for you (plural) to decide, not whether there was one to begin with.

i also hate the he/she thing. in english, there is no gender-neutral pronoun, so we use "he" for unknown/mixed gender. not politically correct, i know, but syntax is not politics, either. ok, so i hate capitalizations (they are fascist). let's call it a draw?

posts were I actually directed my non-SWG playing friends to this thread and even they were impressed by his total stupidity (oh my, proper grammar!).

so i got your attention? cool!

neutrineaux, if you are just joking then you are truly talented in comedy, this material is a fantastic parody of a sterotypical 'computer geek',

yeah! you did get it! i was aiming for 1337 d00d3z, but computer geeks is close. and i was not "joking" in the sense that i did not mean what i said, but rather placing barbs where barbs belonged, imo. but comedy is heck to break into professionally, so i am bummed.

but if you're not then my faith slips more and more for people in this world.

well, i hope i am not the thread that supports your faith in humanity, cause, brother, humanity is... i can't help myself here...

STOOPUuD!

let your faith in humanity slip to zero. as confucus said, he who expects nothing is seldom dissapointed.

Take it easy all, LONG LIVE THE CMs!

yeah, i will go for that one

Let's make a deal slangboy,

You put a bullet in my ass and I touch one of them venomous djunglefrogs to your skin. Then we see who takes the longest time to die. Hell, I'll be around to play the game with the next gangsta who comes in here but you won't be capping asses again.

I'll try to answer your questions but in the future please use some sort of structure. I have grammar issues myself and typos are common but try to separate your ideas a bit into sentences. It makes for easier reading.

when did a poison do more damage than a bullet in the ass - Since the dawn of time. Spiders, snakes, and just all kinds of creapy crawly things have poisoned people to their death long before bullets were invented. Once man started messing with those poisons, the speed at which they killed increased exponentially. They were most commonly used in the first world war and killed many more people then bullets in the ass. Those crude poisons locked your muscles and basically caused suffication (hard to breathe when your throat and diaphram are locked). I'm sure the newer poisons are much faster acting then those used 60 years ago. Don't ask for more reality here, if you were to receive it you wouldn't get a tick every 10 seconds, you would drop dead.

Your next part is a bit muddled but if you are asking what is fun about being a CM then it's about being able to hit whatever and have it do damage. I compliment my CM with melee so for me it was Fencer with the ablity to poison, now it's Swords and the ability to poison. I think it's great. I have the choice ofbeing able to buff or poison and I choose poison.
