Thread: Combat Upgrade (I LIKE IT)
Glad you like the game! But the bad news is, a significant number of the people leaving are in fact people who were extremely pro-CU before it was released and very much for the features as PROPOSED. I hope your liking of the game is based on weeks of experience in Test Center followed by the experience on live. Otherwise I feel you will lose some of that enthusiasm. But for your sake and the sake of the Devs I hope not. 
Lot's of luck with the new game, but please remember, not all of us that dislike the CU are "perpetual" whiners.

Then there must be alot of whinners.
Seriously. If you look through the posts of those who dislike the CU you will find alot of constructive critisism there. People don't hate the CU "cause teh CU sux". They have their reasons.
Oh and on a side note. Remember that this is double xp week. Cut your gains in half and that is what your going to recieve in the future.
I have posted enough now about why the CU is not good for the non-competitive player. But believe me, the players who have played with intense enthusiasm for two years and even loved beta3 way back when, are not whining when they say they have no fun any more and have cancelled their two accounts. And that is only the very small proportion who come on forums. The silent ones are gone.
This was the worst event in the history of swg for many hard working ordinary players who had their 2 years of commitment swept away. Not talking uber templates here - just ordinary drop in and play for 5 hours sort of player. Crafters, entertainersor simplecombat - all furgled. Players like me who chose a template and loved it so much we played it non-stop over those 2 years, creating a character. There were always enough clones in composite grinding mindlessly at a template that could overcome everything in game. And they are the reason we have this mess now.
The CU does NOT work in a grind based game.
And the longer it exists in one, the more subs we lose.

The CU will be fine... IF the other revamp that goes with it (the revamp of SWG into a story-adventure-quest driven game from a grind based one) is done and done SOON.
