The question I have wouldnt it be better to adjunct your ch template with another template more relevant in tanking. Instead of say expecting your pet to tank alone?
I have heard it said over and over and over again the rifles immediately draw the wrath of the mob. Wouldnt part of the solution be to have your other mastery be tank heavy? A profession that is good at mob control to extent would probabally mesh better.
Asfor the half combat/crafter/entertainer thing going the way of the dodo I am glad. If your going to be an entertainer or a crafter you should not be enjoying all the fruits of combat. Thats the point of a system with professions. You do not get to do all the things you want. Its part of what adds an element of strategy to the game. I personally am sick of the half and halfs. You want to be good at combat devote the energy you want to be a crafter except that you are not going to be hunting big game. Its not like you will not still have access to mid fair or participate in pvp.
It will just come with an adendum you cannot both make the best sword/armor/food in the game and be god on the battlefield.

Purples should kill 1 person no matter what IMO, and what do you think reds will do to you in the current system if you have no armor/buffs? Exactly what purples do to you. I have heard of people soloing purples by using certain specials recently so i dont think its totally imposible on everything.
The CU has not dumbed down anything it has required players to use more strategy IMO.........but hey what do i know?

Hossp go into options, then controls, lower left of the window should have a button for keymap. Then in the bottom box should be a small pulldown menu where you can select the MMORP style you wish to use. it is set by default in CU to MMORP Modeless. Put it on Star Wars Galaxies and it is like they never changed it.

well, i have been lurking the forums a good bit, haven't said much lately..but i have been playing cu, more than i'd like to admit..a lot of my cu play has been bugged.. a lot..a HUGE one is how i can't change pov with my mouse..i'm sure , that is a bug, so i won't complain about that...
the way i play the game now is mch/mrifle..the effectiveness of the template is completely destroyed by the cu..the pets cannot tank for rifle, so now instead of have 2 complementary professions, i have ch whch does more damage than it did, but still less than rifle..and rifle is severely nerfed as to what it was..i.e. no aoe, a gimpy conceal shot that stays concealed for one or 2 shots..but that is for the rifle forum i suppose
so far i have seen virtually nothing i liked, and a lot i don't..i DON'T like the lack of pet specials, the variable levels, the inabilty of pets to tank is probably what i dislike the most, as that is what i used them for..i dislike the animations, the new icons, the new specials.
admittedly i'm not big on groups.i like to play solo a lot, and i think that aspect has been removed..i don't feel compelled to make the new system work for me, as many of you will do no matter what they throw at you..i was very content with the old system
so for me CURB=BAD

Okay I decided to go a testing myself tonight. Here are my very early impressions the big bad boogy hate system is like no issue what so ever. My template was set so that my pet and my damages were roughly the same. Not once did a creature break off of my pet and come after me, and when I did get attacked by a late spawn once my pet was freed up I was able to sick my pet on him.
Real issues with pets.
The pets seem to have a problem switching up targets. When I did get in a mass killing I simply had no way for my pet to multitask at all. Which left me in a predicament. I had to run around until my pet finished eating what it was eating.
The pet seemed unruley. When a bocatt lair spawned and a happy surprise of a baby spawn occurred. My pet totally ignored my commands preceded to eat the baby and then to eat the lair.
Marked problems with nest AI. Some creatures spawned and just wondered off or seemed to lose connection with their particular lair.
I couldnt seem to get creatures to break aggro when running or passing near my pet as happened in the past. This makes it so that other group members will not be able to train their aggros onto our pets.
Like I said I just did not see a serious hate issue. I used mastermarksman and novice bh with mch, and had no issue at all with breaking. The few times I did end up fighting something without my pet. Were when a creature spawned a few seconds after another and aggroed on me most likely because I was too close, and then I had to wait for my pet to finish to sick my pet on it.
The graphics just do not look bad to me. I was happy to actually see a llc discharge for once, and the sounds did not seem all that annoying. Obviously I did not see all the specials and everything, but what I saw I generally liked the fire looked relatively balance. It looked good without being over the top.
The combat system seemed interesting the charge ups were interesting. What I was disheartened by was that I couldnt seem to get a auto attack and lock in function going. I was starting to get annoyed with that. Haveing to reset attack to fire. The controls are a little wonky to me still, but I was able to successfully combat within ten minutes of entering the world and win
My real peaves for the night.
Spatial constantly spitting out channel complete.
Not being able to attack critters from mounts.
Missions just not spawning leaveing me searching high and low for equal level fair.
Yeah I see what you guys mean about the icons. It feals like a full on assault. Even when I tried to focus my attention on the action in the game. I found my eyes wandering to those paintings on my screen. I have no logical reason for the hate, but yeah I really do hate those damn icons.
