Ecco,


I am certain that I will not get in. There are at least 5 of you all that my own inferiority complex tells me are better than me. I have much respect for the "nice" people as well as "the end justifies the means people" or maybe it is better said that "the end justifies being mean" in my case.


That being said, I do not envy Vert the decision he has to make. Like you, I am certain even if choosen, the SOE staff will strike my name down from the list.

Pretty sure my name would be stricken from the list even if I was chosen. I don't particularly like the devs...

Hopefully everyone has equal chance to be picked.

if that's the case, then it may as well simply only be a matter of random selection.


draw a number and if your number comes out of the jar then you get in.

I can't believe this drifted off the front page.

The questions I have are:


Will there be a Character Copy feature?

Will we have to work up from ground zero?

Will there be any system to change what you are instantly to try out new features? IE. A change is made in Pistoleer so I can drop what rifles I have to test new Pistoleer features through some magical trainer.

And do system requirements weigh in for the sandbox?






Really good questions. I've been very curious how sandbox is going to work, especially as regards us CH. In order for Sandbox to be a fair test of how CH will operate in the Combat Revamp, pets will have to play a role. Er, won't they?Yeah, of course - they couldn't have CH involved without pets. Er, could they? So,will CH in Sandbox havethe pets they currently have (a character copy feature)? Will they be supplied with pets? If so, which pets? Which pet is used in combat can make a huge difference!Please don't tell me that we will have to work up from ground zero and have to go out to find/tame pets What a nightmare that would be! Enquiring minds want to know

CH experience: Started CH after dabbling in ranger October 2003. Back then CH pets made excellent tanks for a rifleman. When the december rebalance hit and I could no longer control any of the pets in my datapad I switched servers. After 6 months I returned to CH, mastered it and have spent my time searching for good BE pets. I find that most of the time I have to soften foes up for my pets (concealed shot till about 1/20 of ham left) to get any CH xp, or use ranged attack on broken spawn...

Back in october I saw a rancor pet chase down a master pistoleer type and kill him. I thought wow - that would be cool. Sadly now, in pvp I'd store my pets for their safety.


Most Interesting Bug: Being able to wear my RIS armor, drop it in the house and put something else on and look like I'm wearing RIS to everyone. (The other way this bug works isn't so cool - you walk around looking naked even when you are wearing armor.)


Favorite SWG Pet: GSP hands down. 8k HAM is enough to last 30-40 seconds against just about anything. They are fast enough to keep up with my speeder bike. They are also fast enough to keep most foes off my me. I love how they close in on an agro before it moves more than 2-3 meters towards me. [(I don't normally wear armor or get buffs with my MRM.) (I would still trade them for a level 20 cat with better kinetic resists/ham ratio...)]

Would you care to test out a 400 year old sword to see if it's decayed to condition 0? All the prior testers have no comment. Perhaps a gun which was used in WW I and still fires with high accuracy upto 1km?

If that doesn't get you, then start reading current military specifications for combat equipment.

I'd like to vote for Digiwrath and Ko-AIri, Sunrunner needs more than just 2 people in this thing! Travin and I need one other person from sunrunner!

LOL. As I understand it we are not voting. There is no possible way to make it server based either. Umpteen servers and only 5 can be chosen. But I do feel good about all the Valcyn candidates, Kzera, talon and myself are the coolest of cool. Wish Kzin was still here to do it as well.

Sorry about the delay... I'm going to need another day for this. Lithium was acting crazy earlier today (in the aftermath of Publish 10), so I wasn't able to dothe final post history check.

That's ok Vert, I don't expect to be invited.


If you notice I am offering my hand in peace to TH. I hope he comes in and takes it.



....and then no matter how hard we get nerfed, we still keep CH because we are still some of the coolest characters on the game.
