Is the CB/R not going to affect the HAM encumbrance on armor so we will have to be buffed to wear full suites of it so we will still end up begging for buffs, slices, and lower HAM armor?

Armor is getting revamped along with everything else...so it's hard to say...We'll know how the Armor changes combined with the HAM changes will effect the ecum and our ability to wear armor when we get to test things on the Sandbox...I can tell you that along with the changes coming to Commandos, I'm also excited about many of the changes planned for Armor (and so is the Armorsmith Correspondent I believe)....


I will restate something the Devs said to us at the Summit...There will always be some desire to be buff'd and to get your weapons sliced for certain situations...They don't want to that away from those who sell buffs or slices...

Not sure where to even start the hints or if it would even be appropriate...I've tried to keep my hints to things directly related to Commandos...Anything related to other professions MORE then Commandos I try to leave to those Correspondents/Communities...soand Armor infowould probably have to come from the AS Correspondent (don't want to step on his toes) when he feels that it's appropriate and is given permission to share...All I can say is that Armorsmiths should be happy...The Armor changes will probably be one of the biggest adjustments for combatfolks in the game post revamp (but it's not a bad adjustment...just one that makes a bit more sense)...I will drop this hint...Commandos should REALLY like the Armor changes...


As to the other post about the combat queue showing which body part was hit, I've never really thought about that nor do I think it's come up...I'll mention it...

Ok, i have a second question for you Garvin.



Is it been ever thought of or brought up to the devs that when a player is hit, the combat que should say in what body part you were hit in and with what type of damage?



My thoughts are that, with npc's doing specials and all the new tricks, and also the mention of armor holes, which i have seen, how do we know it is a bug armor hole or if it we were hit in an non-armored area, or lack of protection in said area.



Having such information in the que, could be an option you could turn on or off it need be, but it would work great in testing. Especially in TC. We could find bugs in combat in both PvE and PvP. Bugs of the nature of either getting damage when we shouldn't or not recieving damage when we should. Probably also other possiblities.



I honestly would like to see where and by what type of damage, both on me and my opponent.
