Where did they say they were gonig to raise the SP cost for the elite professions? I'm not trying to be a smart ass, did they say this? Because i'm personally angry over the lowering of requirements.

All elite combat professions that currently require 1 tree pre-req, they now will require 2 trees as pre-reqs...All hybrid combat professions are going down to requiring 2 trees as well as pre-reqs, but they will still cost 15 points more as hybrid professions over elite professions (they still have to have 2 novice boxes vs. 1 for elite professions).
Why are you upset over lowering of requirements? Commandos aren't getting any weaker, in fact, we are getting made stronger...We never in the past got any type of boost to explain our higher point cost in the past, so really this brings us better into line to where we should be AND it allows us more dabbling room (and dabbling will become more important post-CU). So again, why is it a bad thing that they are lowering our requirements? I've hinted that post-CU, dabblers WILL NOT be as strong as Masters, so there will be emphasis on Mastering Professions (we'll likely see a lot more Double Masters and no more Triple Masters)...And all the combat professions are being brought closer together to make things more fair and increase the possibility of uniqueness in template building (the devs are working hard to kill the notion of "the flavor of the month" my making each profession's pluses and minues be more strategic and not perfect for every situation).
Well, i know that the document posted at the "CU Update" is a general one (a lot of specifics/details are let in the dark). But....i' m, in overall, really, really happy with the changes that are coming.
And reading the cries of all the "temploiters" (aka "i want to solo everything in God Mode") at the general topic, is like celestial music to my ears..something is done in the right direction ![]()
P.S. I know, i know...a lot of the negative views have a good motive...but as someone has said previously, "a lot of people are jumping to conclusions" ![]()

- BH will be very powerful Post-CU. Know how TKM templates now can pretty much wipe out some jedi? Yeah well, post-CU a BH ranged template will be just about the same... (In a one on one fight)
Tanks, we hate you. Really, we do. But if you tell us what should be in those blanks, we won't anymore.

I'm upset because as a Bounty Hunter, I feel like were getting shafted. I know people are saying now there's gonna be a whole bunch of different types of bounty hunters. But people need to realize with the population boom, there goes the uniqueness. Commandos, Pistoleers, Carbiners are still going to have there Unique Weapons and such, Bounty Hunters looks like they aren't, they are going to have to realy on other professions for weapons and possibly combat skills.That's the only reason why i'm upset over this. You may not agree with me, but do you understand where i'm coming from?

Commands get NDA, and NDA which is really cool because of NDA. Also lets not forget about NDA!.
It's really meaningless and posted in jest.
Or is it?
