I'm not asking for you to break NDA, butyou can coment on things that were released in the CU post. I was just wondering if you can clear up what you know about the crafting stuff...are the BE's going to infact do ALL of the medical crafting..which includes our area stims, and possibly our posisons? Would be nice to hear something from our own Corespondent on this, and I know that other 'testers' have been comenting on this without breaking the NDA.
Also...noticed your an upstater, I'm in 'Cuse...probably not too far from ya!!

wow this is the absolute dumbest thing... so someone wants to be a CM and do their own crafting because it can make em money and they dont have to worry about someone else stocking what they want... but now we have to have a BE make em. it makes no sence! in real life, if you build houses, are u gonna have a manager at McDonalds draw u out the plans? im sorry, but its frusterating

Actually it makes a lot of sense. Doctors dont make their medicine and they don't work in the pharmacudical industry.
Just the same, its a shame that this is going to happen because I have quite a lot invested in being able to craft for myself and I was glad there was one area I could be primarily self sufficient in.

Yes, having a pharmaceutical company make meds makes sense..in RL, but this is SWG!!!!
So if they are takeing away the doctors or CM's ability to make meds in the game..what are they going to do? Apparently what most people are saying..stand around like some Priest from D&D and throw heals or these "enhancements" out, ouuuu how UBER
So if they are going to make a "pharmaceutical" crafter..lets make an "ammunition" crafter for the weaponsmiths, a "metal fabricator" for the armorsmiths, a "thread" crafter for the tailors..or even beter.. an "instrument" crafter for the Musicians!!! Last time I checked Eddie Van Halen didn't make his own freak'n guitar!!!!
While were at makeing things more "sensable" for the game...lets throw in some UBER factory production line worker class professions to, but lets make sure not to make it cost too many SP because we want them all to be master pistoleers as well

Look, it's not the end of the world. Yes, it rather sucks from one point of view (remember I'm a crafting CM too), but stop for a second and think about what could be gained.
Lets not have this become the Doctor boards littered with doomsday thready about the CU

He's right, Brain. Our crafting is going away with the Docs. Medic and BE will do the crafting.
As for 'wasted creds' on experiment tapes, it shouldn't be wasted at all. They will, hopefully, be converted over to work with the BE crafting of meds.

Doctor Griggs was the Doctor Correspondent, and after he retired from the position received the status of Blue Glowie (as you can tell from his title). All Blue Glowies had access to the Correspondent and CU forums until just recently. While he probably shouldn't have mentioned anything beyond what has been released publicly (unless he asked permission), he does know what he's talking about. Let's just hope this thread doesn't get deleted.

Poison cures, disease cures, fire cures, buffs in the field. Doc/CM will actually be a good, viable template. CM is getting some defense mods and a gun cert at master so it will be a good combat class with good area healing. Coupled with doctor it will be pretty nice
Ummm...are you a tester? I didn't see this anywhere in the CU update or notice a comment from any Dev to this effect...not saying I don't believe you or anything, just wondering where the information came from..its sounds cool and I'm very happy that I have a Doc/CM, it has been one of my favorite characters to play, but I'm still quite upset about the possibility of not being able to craft anymore
This is in the Doc forums...interesting stuff, still upset about the crafting changes though as I think alot of people will be. Although I'm sure if I must roll a BE I will.

Here's hoping. They do know afterall the prices spent on experimentation tapes for both Doctor and Combat Medic. If anything, CMs should be happy as theirs are cheaper than Doctors' tapes.
Nonetheless, let's just sit tight and hope for the best!
