Combat Medic Archive

Hi everybody,
i logged in into the Testcenter yesterday, Chimaera was online so i thought i'd have a look at my stuff and what it will be like after the CU. I think i am prolly one of the top 10 CM-crafters on Chim and i really slapped me out of my shoes.

- All my poisons converted into Stims - Why not into the equivalent CU stuff?
- My 12 pt suit was transfered into a medic suit, but the crafting of Medical HQ resources went into the BE.
- No CM does need my crafted goods anymore, as i understand it, the abilities work without any stims or whatever
- I gathered Resources for over a year now and they seem pretty worthless after the CU.
- Who will buy stims that are named 'C - Mind Area Poison 46x156:321.....bleh'?

I really was pros the CU. But i would have expected something more inventive or innovative.
As i see it right now, the CU is completely unable to compete even with the current game, it is a remake of other MMORPG's with a lot of conceptional errors, which have been made before, and it is a lot less inovative and inventive than what the current SWG is.

Summing all this up, i am pretty helpless. I really could cry a river. I spent time and money into becoming what my character is right now and i see it simply wiped away with the CU. I am a crafter i wanted to be CM crafter from the beginning it is a lot of fun. But this eradicates it all.

This is not ment as a blunt rant, but it is the worst frustration i faced durning my SWG time.
Could someone brightne me up? Or is the future really that dark for the crafters of us?

I hope for the best, but i fear the worst....

Well, there is some good news and bad news here:

- All my poisons converted into Stims - Why not into the equivalent CU stuff?

We are trying to get them converted to Neurotoxin enhancers (half the charges, 3x power for Single Poisons, 4x power for Area poisons and 9x power for Diseases). You and your CM friends can help by complaining on the conversion tracker. Also, register your comments on the Doctors forum, where Marrow has put a proposal forward to the devs.

- My 12 pt suit was transfered into a medic suit, but the crafting of Medical HQ resources went into the BE.

Are you saying CM experimentation turned into Med experimentation? That would be a new and welcome change.

- No CM does need my crafted goods anymore, as i understand it, the abilities work without any stims or whatever
- I gathered Resources for over a year now and they seem pretty worthless after the CU.

Yes BEs will have crafting now, but as a CM with resources, you are actually in good shape. All of the new enhancers (for both doctor and CM) use CM components. So we can expect a high demand for Class 2 LP, tolium gas, eleton gas, and Class 1 radio. The insect meat is still used in some enhancers, and you can use your fungus in Stim Ds.

- Who will buy stims that are named 'C - Mind Area Poison 46x156:321.....bleh'?

The devs commented somewhere they might change the names. Personally, I think Id like to see the old names, so I can remain bitter about what I lost in the conversion

All in all, a CM crafter is in relatively good position with resources. HOWEVER, the whole outlok for crafters is bleak. The new enhancers will be absurdly expensive, and right now on TC they do very very little. Unless that changes, it wont really matter what the resource cost is for the enhancers, because no one will want to buy them. I expect a lot of Stim Ds will be sold though....

Hi again,
i checked it again, since Chimaera is still on TC5.
The 12 pt suit did not convert at all. Seems i misunderstood something.
Is is still a 'Combat Medicince experimentation' suit which will be obsolet with no such skill active.
