Whatis swg thinking


If these changes go into effect I will be leaving the game!!!


My guild is 100% creature handlers meaningthat one publish will literally wipe out my entire guild. I was always a creature handler first even after I got my Jedi I still loved my main character Milteck and all his pets more then anything else. I am sick in my stomach right now as when I first logged in tonight I did not read the forums or anything and the first thing I see are emails saying CH is being nerfed.


Its really up to swgbecause if they do thisI dont see how I can continue to play this game.

My first and only profession.


If they take these professions away, we should all leave the game.


This is utterly inexcusable...





Tzitzimime - Creature Handler and Pikeman since the beginning.
I continue to play this game out of love for my professions.

When the "New Game Enhancements" go live, I will leave this game.
You can give it a pretty name, but it does not hide your shame...

"I mean, what is a pikeman and why is it something in the game? The only other profession we didn't absorb into one of these iconic templates is the creature handler and only 1% of our players play that character type."

Sony didn't care to listen to the people who protested the CU either... and they left.


Sony, are you trying to kill off your customer base????

I had to read the article twice to fully comprehend what I was hearing!

I never thought a friggin video game would garner a truly emotional response for me.

All I can say is that I was sick to my stomach the moment I read what was happening and now 6 hrs later I STILL feel sick!

If all SOE wants is a bunch of 10-15 yr olds running around waving lightsabers, then THIS is the quickest way to get there.

Now if you will excuse me, I have to throw up...



WHO IS GOING TO KEEP JABBA'S RANCOR NOW?
WHO IS GOING TO TRAIN AND MOUNT TAUN TAUNS?
WHO IS GOING TO TRAIN OBIE'S VERACTYL?
WHO IS GOING TO MAINTAIN THE CREATURES IN THE GEO ARENA?
SOE'S MOMMA THAT'S WHO!!

How can they say the game is too complicated?



How can the promote an expansion by dangling the necklace in front, of us then rip our proffession out of the game?



I loved this game for its variety or proffessions you can play now they are just ....................dumbing it down.

Thus sets off page after page of responses. Halfof which are honest and true: "You must download the trial and see for yourself." Some are "sky is falling" responses. One or two suspect some trolling and question how the OP is able to post here. And the remainder latch on to one of the questions and debate the topic until flying pigs return carrying the wayward cows.

I feel sorry for you guys most of all atleast as a ranger (now commando, planning on going back to ranger) you had already sampled what was long deserved and many of you worked very hard on aquiring your new skills. In my opinion this is the most discusting thing SOE could have done to any group out there. probably went like this


Dev 1


"hey lets make ch so hard to master and give the creature skills so difficult to gain no one would want to be a ch, that way when we role out this new ENHANCEMENT we won't worry about CH because everyone would drop it."


Dev 2


"What if they don't drop it?"


Dev 1


ROFLMAO.....why would they keep it.....its not like they put two years.....oh never mind lets just stick to the plan

you know it is not just CH there removing here, there is other professions getting removed also, why don't we all band up leave the game and hey when SOE sees a sudden 75% drop in cusomer base and DEvs are hanging themselves by there ties(i got to hold out for a happy ending here) after that maybe SOE will relize what they have done ...too bad by then it is too late . this by the way concerning the expansion is bait and switch a common yet always shady form of fruad advertisement aka the SOE way. We want our money back... if you are unwilling to comply there is formal channels for such things... get enough voices on thed channels things really start to cook.

Best excuse yet to switch to WOW. Only 9 generic professions, WOW already does that better than any other game out there so why play this anymore?


CH for 2 years, no interest in being anything else. Guess I'm done for.


I was never in BEAST but everyone knows you guys, you upheld our profession for so long and us cupboard CH's were always glad to know you were around.

BEAST will be missed.

Cause the kids can't play it on Xbox 360 live the way it is, that's why.


Just wait til it starts selling, then you will see the sellout.

Yeah, the regular combat professions (Rifleman, Pistoleer, Swordsman, etc.) are going away, but only in name. Looks like the combat profs are being consolidated under a handful of themore jazzy-sounding profession titles (Bounty Hunter, Commando, Spy, etc). But the essential functions of the combat skills aren't being removed from the game. You'll still be able to shoot ranged weapons or swing melee weapons. You'll just be pigeonholed under one of these new categories. Creature Handler, however, is slated to be removed. Killed. Made no more. Kaput. Gone. And the game will be a less rich, less-diverse experience because of it.
