I thinkme and my IT dept areabout to get galaxies working on my campus so I reactivated my account for another month andI can now post again YAY! Ok on with my rant.........


/ranton

Im assuming that when the CR (Mother of all Nerfs) comes out they are going to weaken other professions so that things like rancor mobs cannot be soloed. So where is the balance in letting another player control them? Thier is none and it will be horribly unbalanced here a few things to consider.........


1.(a) they need to more clearly define the term mob. If they are saying that a single player cannot kill a singlerancor then all of my fears have a base


(b)If they are saying that a single player cannot take down entire lairs implying that 1 or 2 could be beaten with difficulty then we have far less to worry about


2. If a is correct 2 things will happen both of them equally bad for CH


(a) we will be the new FOTM profession and will eventually be nerfed again


(b) they are going to lower our CL so that we can no longer control creatures like this.


Either way I dont really see how this could be good for CH.


CH is a very hard class to balance it will almost always be either to powerfull or to weak. If a CL70 master pet can do everything a fully buffed master combat profession can we have an advantage because we dont have to spend money on armor and buffs causeing other players to have a massive migration to and uproar against CH. we can all offer solutions such as pet buffs and such but in the end its really all up tot how the devs want to impliment it.


Vert WE really need to see those docs. I know they will be released when the devs get around to it but still we all need a little reassurance here.

The thing about the Rancor, I've been saying for awhile. Getting nerfed again is kind of the basic fears around here.


SWG is kinda on a knife edge with JTl and the combat revamp...

Apparently we will be using stuffed animals and bantha statues to throw at our enemies after the revamp. There are some issue though as the players who multi as Commandos or CM's can fill these fluffy cute things with explosives and diseases, making them an uber template.....unless they experience that lag, rubberband, effect.....very messy.

If this game lasts for another year, which I doubt, the only professions you will see are

Crafter
Medic
Jedi

LOL! A single player not being able to kill a lair or a rancor? Someone should tell the devs this is still a game. Well, if they nerf us again i'm out, that's for sure.

If they have an ounce of integrity they would leave us alone short of bug fixes and content, as they said 9 months ago we have been balanced already.


other than redisigning the ham system and weapons/armor


so hopefully and I say this with fingers and toes crossed we should have very little done to us


lol I know i am a dreamer lmao

This does not shock me that CH is going to get nerfed again. I was shocked to find out when I came back to the game it's no longer a combat field. I'm just holding out into WoW comes out and going over there to play a Hunter.

I get thefeeling Vert was optimistic about the recent correspondents conference, even though nothing solid could be revealed.


One can hope...

Good luck on that, unless something has changed, they still haven't gotten it working on beta yet. And I don't see the big deal of WoW, I've been reading up on it and honestly, really don't see anything special about it. eh, to each there own.

Alas... I see we still have to fear the Nerf bat... I was hoping after a few months away things would change....

Yeah, I agree (with much of the rest of the rant, too). I don't know how they're going to do it so that it's relatively fair. But let's not go crying the sky is falling just yet. There's too much we don't know, so I still say we need to wait and see.

I enjoy this game. I like being a MCH even after the big nerf. If except for fixing our bugs they pretty much leave us alone I will be ok with it. I still have my wish list and is is just like everyone else's so no use going over it. But if nothing comes of it I will stay. On the other hand, if they just keep swinging that nerf bat at us when wow comes out I will give hunter a try.


I don't think wow is all that special from what I have read but it does hold a bit of interest for me. This game is where I chose to hang my ingame hat and I love it but no one likes to feel spit upon at every turn.


While it is true our ranks have shrunk so much any of us leaving wont cause a ripple, but once we are gone some other profession will take our place as the ones to nerf.


I like my game, I like my forums, I enjoy the ppl ingame on on the forums,I have no urge to leave. I would miss everyone but I can't stand being picked on.


ok rant off/ Goodmorning everyone =)
