Thread: tone of the forum my response
Ok vert I know you are trying to help but it's hard to remain civil when for EVERY patch they have stripped our profession of something.
I want you to take a look at this picture:
http://www.thelunatick.com/swg/screenShot0071.jpg
I took it just after I mastered CH, I was so happy and proud, it was the only profession I had mastered cause I loved it so much.
Well that picture is a rare item now. A MCH with 3 GSP's out.
I can't even remember the last time I used a GSP now cause they are so whimpy. With buffs and my 75% kinetic resist ubese I am a much better tank then my pets.
In the early days of SWG when little was know about the Elite professions, CH's ruled. Why cause they had pets that were awsome compared to players. After more was learned by all in the game, other elite professions were found to be more powerful. Than and with more and more master MD's on the server buffing is as easy as shuttleing into coronet. Also add the fact that more master weapon and armor smith came about as well as the rare elements for things spawning on the server. I can tell you as some one that dropped rifle then went rifleman recently it took me 1 day to get to a 1/0/0/1 rifleman from novice marksman as opposed to 1 month in the begining to get to rifles 4 with my CDEF and then dlt20a rifle.
BUt the damage was done. all the non elite people cried Nerf the CH it is too powerful, even though it wasn't.
Now the CH is relagated to a joke of a profession left for die hards like me and Pluto and the others here and hologrinders who wine that unlike every other profession. CH can't be mastered in 2 days with some power gameing.
I ask you Vert bring this to the Devs and I ask others, Does this have the ring of truth to it?
Ask them with the next patch to roll things back to the pre- patch 5 (or what ever # the big CH nerf was) and see waht happens. I can bet you people won't be complainging thet CH is too powerful because it is now so much easier to get a elite profession that is more powerful.
Most of the complaints back then were exploits that still aren't fixed (the calling a pet in your data pad 5 times and getting 5 pets).
THey broke this profession Vert, our rants and flames are an expression of frustration over how we keep getting smacked with bugs and getting new features that don't work. TH's pet problem thread is 10 pages long now and he still hasn't responded, nor has he showed his face in this forum since his lies of the benefits of the new patch to CH's. We deserve an explanation of why they are still hurting this profession and what they intend to do to fix it. We are all paying customers here. All TH has done is fuel our anger with his lack of comments and then his Brush-off comments (saying some pets are just cowards is not how to win friends and influence people).
Take this to the devs vert written as is, and tell them we would like a well though out response.
I totally agree, I already closed my account with SWG becaus of the publish 6 bugs with CH. my account renews on the 20th and I'm not paying for a game thats broke, but I will be back the day its fixed. I really like this game alot, but with the slow response we get from TH and the Devs, I'm not gona pay all next month and not play because CH is broken right now, its a waste of money. Now I probly would of kept my account going if....a few days after the patch when they knew we were unhappy with the new bugs......they would reply that they know about the bugs and its being worked on ASP. Not that some pets are cowards!! We hear so little from TH about this, why is that???We justget the feelingthey don't have a clue of whats going on with CH. And after reading all the posts tonight and the last few days....thats seems like a fact!
We need better communication from the Devs, I know they won't miss my $15 this month, but I will miss playing!
Well, good luck to every CH out their, I haven't gave up hope yet, but just had to get one last post in before I can't read the forums

Great Pix. I bet there were a lot of them from the old days. I have one too
Brought a tear to my eyes.-Indene-
P.S. I still have 2 of my 3 GSPs. Kinda hard to retire them and let them go.
Well said.
I get the feeling that they won'ttake a look at us, as a class, until after the combat revamp is done though. That will cause a lot of fundemental shifts in the game and people will drop some classes (The Fencer/Pistoleer template for example will be "hitable", so people may drop one or the other and take up CH with the points they then have free to compensate), soCH may well regain some popularity.
