Rockhurst, I agree with your point.Garvin has a great idea. Actually, I like it a whole lot more than my suggestion...One of the main reasons why I suggested it is because I'm concerned that the Devs maytake an easier path and not put in as much effort as they could (at this point, it's hard for me to completely trust in them anymore)...adding a single flame/acid 3 may give us something better than we currently have...so I left this as an alternative since 50% of something is better than %0 of nothing...I probably shouldn't have because the above idea is really good and I don't want to discourage it.



Garvin has lots of great ideas...wonder where he gets those from I feel for you...we've all had that lack of trust in the devs intentions. I get my trust in knowing if they don't significantly improve their product, they risk loosinga large portion of their customer base...especially after the huge outcry regarding the revamp schedule. With other products (WoW, EQ2, etc.) coming to the market, they devs have a huge motivator to get things right. SWG was designed to be the most accessable, widespread played MMORPG. They've gotten away from that in some areas, and these kinds of changes to specials will help us get back there.


And, 'ya never have to hold back on an idea. From everything that's said, you really have to think outside of thecurrent system we havewhen it comes to the revamp. Who knows, perhaps even after Master there will be ways for you to continue to improve your Flameshot...

"I've been thinking along the same line for awhile...but then my thoughts turned instead to the idea of instead of our weapons getting better (which would require multiple purchases...good for a crafter, bad for us) our specials get better...


For example...Get rid of FlameSingle1 and FlameSingle2 and instead have a FlameSingle that gets more powerful the higher up you go in the profession (as in, for every box you take in Commando, you get points or a percentage boost that improves both speed and accuracy of that special)...


Thoughts?"

You know, the more I think about it the more I like it. Originally I didn't want our current attacks to really change (with the ability of stacking DoT's) but this makes so much more sense. It would also free up space to add in some new stuff for us.....which may be asking alot but I'll ask to much then see what I can get. I've read through the posts on the thread and I like the ideas, but they all have one fault. This fault is that all of us except Garvin are clueless as to what to expect in the CR so we are thinking along the current lines of which the game is governd. Really think about this everybody. TKA follows a very similar route, the more levels in TKA the more bonuses to Damage /acuraccy/speed and with a great special in the Masters box. If they were to take TKA set up as a guide then what do you have? Balance!.......now only if everybody and their Uncle weren't grinding for Jedi *speculates*

I also have something to say that is in connection to what LuciusScipio said. Yeah your right, alot of people are a bit.......frustrated about the lack there of of any type of updates or what have you. I would like anything, anytype of post if you really get down to it. Just as long as we are acknowledged (spelling?) and that will help satiate some of our thirst for answers. I understand why they are being closed mouth'd, nothing can truly be confirmed/denied is probably the issue.

It's hard to comment without closing in on an NDA violation...I will say that you are on the right track but might be going a bit over the mark...
