or at least I think it is. I cannot seem to apply poison to an ATST anymore when it was my understanding that this was possible before... was it? or was this also a stealth nerf for today?

It was possible before, yes. And now, I would imagine it's not, given your message.

I'm an Imperial, so I wouldn't have been able to test this out, but this is yet another stupid change, completely undiscussed, and removing a vital strategy in getting rid of these huge abominations.

They USED to be fun to try and take out if done properly--mind poison and double Mind bleed from a secure area was usually enough to freak the owner out. Guess we can't have that anymore. No more intelligent gameplay, you guys! Stop it right now!

how does a machine get sick or bleed?

Various fluids for the engine/moving partscan get contaminated.

Machines can 'bleed' lubricants/hydraulic fluid if they get a cut in oil pans, hydraulic lines, etc..

It isn't *that* much of a stretch..

Uh, so WE don't want it, and YOU don't want it in for PvP--then why is it still there??

It makes sense...only thing they need to do is make AT STs non-healable by Medic classes.

yeah i Agree..i was actualy thinking this Yesterday when i read the TEST updates...

If It can't Bleed then it can't be Stimed, Period.

In All honesty tho i believe an ATST should be able to get poisoned...Realisticly it has drivers.

Then again, i'm a Rebel, so i am up for anything that makes them easier to kill. They are just Too Insane for players to have control over without any skill comitment. The only way i could see to balance it out would be to Give Rebels Equal level pets to ATST's, Dark Troopers, and the Run of the mill storm Trooper. My guerila's are noticably substandard to any imperial Stormtrooper type pets...and there isn't even a Comparison to an ATST

well theoretically it SHOULD bevery possible to poison an AT-ST. They aren't droids, but in fact vehicles that have drivers. There is no reason why a poison should not be able to affect the driver of an AT-STthus causing it to stop functioning...

It specifically indicated bleeds, so I too am curious if poisons and diseases (useful for doing permament, unhealable mind wounds to faction pets) are also out.

so the patch message should have read "DoT-type effects" instead of bleeds.

anyway.. it's a Machine ,)
