A good number of us are grinding our way up already. It's a slow grind on test server since we're neither rich nor well connected. But honestly it's been pretty fun. /gc can be a source of many of laughs

Especially -> Artoc': I just missed a lair...I feel dirty.

they just copied Bria To TC2 I believe. Can it be tested there?

It should be running the same code as TC. I would just make a note of which server you tested on in your report.

Many of us read yesterday (Test Center update as well as in this forum) that the Hit/Miss formula was tweaked a bit...


I need to collect some data on this and how it affects us, especially since we, comparatively, have one of the lowest accuracy abilities of the various ranged professions...


So if you are a Commando on TC, go attack a mob/lair (or mobs/lairs) and then come back and let me know the following (you can just post here if you like or PM me)...


  • What Level Commando are you on TC?

  • What is the rest of your template?

  • WhatMob/Lair did you attack?

  • How often did you hit/miss your target mob? (out of 10 shots for example)

  • How often did you hit/miss the actual lair? (out of 10 shots for example)

  • Do notice a significant or slight change from how your hit/miss totals felt before the change?

I'm going to do some testing of my own tonight and take our data back to the Devs/Programmers for investigation...I'm trying to help investigate whether this change is more or less beneficial to low accuracy and low defense professions...


Thanks...

Why the question's about how often we hit, I am starting a Commando on TC.....grinding up to it currently. If you need more Commando's to help test see if TH or the DEV's will give us a hand out as far as making us a Commando.....this is just my way of trying to get there with out the dreaded grinding again!

I agree.


I have been interested in helping out on TC especially with commando. But with the time I have I am unwilling to grind up to master Commando.


I'll wait until they allow copies of characters or if they do a testcenter -Tempest.

Actually the request came to me and others to produce some test results based off of reports that people feel they are missing a lot more then they use to on TC (not just Commandos)...I brought it to TH's attention that several Commandos have told me the same thing, that they seem to be missing a lot more since the patch and he asked me to e-mail him some test results when I had a chance...


You don't have to be a Commando to participate...I only suggested Commandos because most us are already familiar with our own personal hit/miss ratios and would be more apt to be able to tell whether it's gone up or down since the patch...


TH is not going to make folks Commandos for this small test...If we don't produce results (along with the others testing) then the change will go into live as is...but if we produce results then they may see a need to change something...


Around the same time as the Combat Test Server (the Sandbox) goes live, I've heard reports the Character Copy system is suppose to as well (speculation...nothing confirmed) so that we will be able to transfer our characters to that server for direct testing...


It is possible that the devs may just make an exact duplicate of TC for the Sandbox, like they did for the Jedi Test Server...this would mean that if you have a Commando on TC, you'd have a Commando on the Sandbox...and that's why I've suggested to some that they start grinding on TC just in case (and log in to it for at least 10 minutes at least twice a week)...I still don't know the specifics of the Sandbox or the selection process, but as soon as I do know something, I'll post it...

Agree with Ohove, isn't copying supposed to be in with patch 9?

But I can't face that UA grind again, marksman wasn't so bad, and working through Commando its self has been fun, but getting there was hell.

What Level Commando are you on TC?
Commando 0010.

What is the rest of your template?
Besides the requirements, nothing combat oriented.

What Mob/Lair did you attack?
Crazed gurreck lairs.

How often did you hit/miss your target mob? (out of 10 shots for example)
Only noted lair attacks.

How often did you hit/miss the actual lair? (out of 10 shots for example)
Flamer:
54 shots, out of those 4 missed.
Launcher Pistol:
157 shots, 12 missed.

Do notice a significant or slight change from how your hit/miss totals felt before the change?
Well, it is kinda odd to miss at optimum range, using a rifle in prone position, aiming, and missing, so that's where it's felt the most.


Suggestion
Maybe they could make the Aim skill reduce or even eliminate the chance of missing. Aiming takes away an entire second, and it would make sense that taking extra care to aim would make it even less likely to miss.

I went on TC2 ad I was apaled hehe. I had to leave. I was in talus and I was fighting these blue guys like 3 of them. I did not take notes cuz I was getting owned I finaly ran away and got one. I missed alot is all I know. And whey they ran up to me i tried to switch wepons. Being a master TKM and Commando. This delay thing will be the death of me. I will probably test it again later in like coronet or something where I wont die. I grabbed a bag of my launchers and protons I'll give that shot too soon I hope. SInce i psent 20 mins on the download. But im not impressed at all I was more depressed ;(
