Thread: OK so where are the docs?

All the Combat changes now have either been cleared or will have no problem clearing the approval of Lucas Arts (they don't effect the SWG storyline or universe in any way so they won't havea problem)...it's just timing that is an issue...
domos for straightening me out garvin, i hope you caught my other post which explained the majority of my discomfort with everything. and i meant no sarcasm whatsoever btw.
anyway, my question is (kind of off subject) if lucasarts has to approve every change made so it doesnt act to change the SW universe etc, then how the heck are jedi walking around downtown with lightsabers drawn? i think that kind of contradicts the storyline in a big way. how do you think that one snuck by?

Believe it or not, they got approval for that...
But trust me on this...Jedi will have some interesting times coming too...Durning the revamp summit, the issue of Jedi running around towns came up and all the Devs/Programmers looked at each other with evil grins and said "Just wait"...then I could have sworn I heard an evil laugh...

Ooh, closing the powergap between jedi and non-jedi. I like it. *hopes hopes hopes*
I guess this means a BH will have a fighting chance against a jedi, especially in 1-on-1.
Any word on the CR docs today? Are the Dev's hiding under a fireproof rock while you sweep with your Krayt FT?

No word today...TH did hint to a some type of post coming soon related to the docs but I'm not sure what it will be about...probably some type of explaination of what's going on...

Generic ranged aiming and speed mods instead of weapons specific mods?
*crosses fingers*
that would rule, that would REALLY lead to some divers templates, AND prevent one profession from being more "upgradeable."
I can't wait

Thanks Garvin. So we now have gone from waiting for Combat Balance, to waiting on the combat revamp, to waiting on the outline docs for the revamp, to waiting on the status of the release of the docs about the revamp. /shakeshead. I hope SOE moves along quickly on this status on the status of the status of the revamp. lol.
You have a lot of patience Garvin. We're lucky you are in charge of us!

One question Garvin......Are the dev's going to do anything to help combat prof's and put some "fire" back into the GCW before the mystical combat revamp and Joke To Laugh_at?
I haven't heard about anything prior to the revamp (but that doesn't mean something won't make it in, they just haven't told me yet)...
With the revamp though, Commandos will not only be a force to reckon with in the GCW but they will better fill their role...To be a better balanced group, groups will need a Commando of some level...Remember, it's been hinted at by many that each combat profession will have a role, something they are better at then other professions...and theyalso will have something they lack in...The key will be "balancing" your template to suit your needs and the type of role you want to fill...
PS...there has been a lot of talk about how the revamp helps players play in groups...just wanted to throw in that the Solo player isn't out of luck...I play solo most often and when the revamp hits, I'll still enjoy my solo game just as much if not more (since Commandos will be better balanced)...

Just noticed a very interesting post over in the Bounty Hunter forum...maybe some Commandos should compare notes on what they think they've pieced together...
LOL. It really sucks that my typo made it into that post!

I like it. *hopes hopes hopes*as soon as it takes hundreds of hours to level BH,only then is it worthy to stand toe to toe,its does a damn good job now.and Yes I am a master commando - but I will be damned if all the hard work into levelling jedi will go to waste so somebody else can feel on a par cos they spent a week levelling a normal skill tree.as for all of em running around cities and levelling in caves, they should have all limbs removed and a saber shoved in their bumhole - i levelled it old skool, these people are exploiting and ruing the game for everybody else by camping caves. they have further cheapenend a profession, that once upon a time in a galaxy far far away, had a modicum of respect.
ehm, I think you missed my point a bit. I said a fighting chance, not a 50-50 chance. The way it is now with 85% block on all ranged attacks in any situation is, to me, way powerpowerd. Don't get me wrong, Jedi should be powerfull but not to the extent it is today when you have to either go melee or use "dirty" tactics to kill one. Or using a ganksquad.
I hope you refrain from another comment as in your first sentance untill the docs are released so we can see what the devs intend to change. And have a more meaningfull conversation.
