Thread: SWG playabitliy
ah cool thanks for the info m8
Im primarly mad atm because of the silly bugs which mean i havnt a hope of soloing with my creatures.
But if I can go hunt those things in the mean time without pets, till they get the CH bugs workd out, it should be a nice change of pace.
Do you have any docs skills yourself btw ?
Or just relying on doctor buffs?
This is another of my pet peeves, Buffs. God, I have played this game since June and I have been buffed 4 times. I only got buffed when someone asked would I like one. In those times, I thought, why I am only hunting Rancors, what the Heck do I need a buff for. As a wookie, I can't wear armor, in fact there are lots of down side things, but I have never went out buffed. Let's see if i can remember, once when we went out and took down an Imperial base, once in PVP battle, and once just last week hunting Krayts, that's 3 times.
I have spent more than my fair share of time looking up at the stars, but I figured it was part of the game, but generally that happened after something had fought it's way THROUGH my pets, not after my pets hadd departed the planet. Jeepers I remember running from paralopes at the start of the game. It isn't a shameful thing to be incapped, what is sad is that no one feels they can go out and do PVE without being buffed. Learn your profession, hang in there, the incaps will decrease, don't buff all the time, because one day they are going to nerf them too. Learn how to use your abilities without the buff, so when you are you will still take the least amount of damage. You can't walk up to a Krayt dragon and slap it's nose no matter how buffed you are. Think of every creature as a krayt and then you wil have the respet needed to keep from being inapped by doing things that cause you to take maximum damage. Just a thought from an old MCH.
Buffs are purely personal choice.
I have hardly used buffs myself since playing, but I recognise their pluss side, in allowing me up to 2 hrs of better stats.
Ill certainly use them where available.
Some other RPG's such as Anarchy Online relly heavily on buffs.
If you playd that game without them, you wouldnt get anywhere what so ever.
