Unless IGN is spreading false information itlooks like a new combat orientated expansion is comming out, which means that the devs dont anticipate the C/U/R/B comming out for a long time. If your a corr or tested and feel the urge to post about us not knowing the whole stroy I suggestyou dont mention itunless you feel the need to tell us the "whole story". (Yea im slightly ticked off and no I dont wanna go buy another game I've made friends in a good guild who I enjoy playing this one with)


So how about at least removing the restictions for the total CL of pets we can have out till the CU hits in 2034? (allow us to have 3 CL 70s out at the same time) This at least do a little toward balancing us out with the rest of the player base.


Unless the C/U/R/B is comming out before may (which I dont see happening since the alpha testing isnt even up) were in for a long wait.

i think i could wager a guess as to the timing of the expansion pack. i'm sure the devs realize that once a CURB is introduced many vetran players whose templates have been destroyed will likely cancel thier accounts, so the expansion pack is released in hopes to attract new players , who won't be so upset when the plethera of changes are introduced and will adapt....i for one enjoy being mch and mrifle, but from what speculation and unsubtantiated rumors i have heard, i will likley be faced with a choice i don't want to make. under the current system i can master 2 professions, dabble in medic, have some be and some fs..IF the cu is just going to destroy pve for the sake of pvp, then i'm out..i could really care less to pay $15/month tofight toons with 13yr olds at starports, even if now my pets will beat up on a tkm, it just doesn't interest me. i sincerely doubt i am the only one who feels this way. i believe the expansion is to get in new players to replace the one , like myself , they expect will leave when they log in one day and have lost all their skills...just a thought

3 CL 70s wouldn make us usefull in PvP. It wouldnt even make us all that usefull in PvE either but at least its something. And ya i can see what your saying about the new expansion thing but d@mn does it piss me off.

i don't mean to sound overly negative about the curb..it may be a wonderfully fantastical thing...but remember you too joker are a mrifle(if i recall correctly), so if ch becomes stronger , what do you suppose will happen to rifle? will a moderately improved ch and drasticlly reduced rifle have an effect on your entertainment from the game? if have no idea if that's the way it will go..but it could, and that could make us weaker than we are already...some more food for thought..


honestly i hope they take thier time and get it as close to right as is humanly possible

After reading THs new announcment it seems I spoke to soon. It seems as though the CURB and this new expansion will come out at the same time

No Joker you didnt speak too soon


what this means is beta testing for both will be at the same time


The end result will be imo is forget the curb for another 6 months. they't shoot for a June/July release to coincide with the movie but we all know how that works so sept will be a more realistic acheivement although august may be doable if they can con enough players to love the new bugs and client crashes because you can kill a wookie and have a new mount when you do finnally load the game.

Well, in my opinion, everytime the PvP community cries like litrtle girls, they gets something at the PvE communities expense. I did not join this game to trade insults with spoiled 12 year olds and see who could DOT each other the most times first. I play mainly PvE, and if they destroy that, I will cancel my subscription.... and that sux, because this game rocks. Its already bad enuff the PvPers run around giving everyone grief, stealing lairs, and doin generally rude shyte just because they think this game should be ALL about them. I say screw the PvPers... they have gotten enuff special treatment at our expense.... its our time now.

New planet, Kashyyyk (sp?), means new creatures right? Maybe some new tamables. I hope they don't recycle creatures from the other planets.

so basiclly you are hoping for ch to be the only viable combat profession?, kind of like they way it was before the profession was nerfed? i think if you are expecting ch to be made strong enough that you could drop rifle (or whatever your combat profession is) and not miss a beat, and in fact be a stronger character, you may be disapointed...that's the reason ch was nerfed, it was a powerful stand alone profession....i don't believe the devs want everyone to go ch again so they can be elite players....and i think a lot of other professions are going to take hits like ch did, rifleman being one as the pvp community really hates our mind shot..cm being another..it would not suprise me if ch is made stonger only by other professions being made weaker...i can't say i'm eagerly awaiting the curb, i'm actually content with the status quo..for me ch was never about combat, sure it breaks aggro for me, but rifle is my combat profession. ch was more of a content profession, where i could spend time hunting rares, and i enjoyed that a lot. only now i have tamed them all at least once,, with the exception of the frenzied, which although i do hunt it, it's more for xp than for the possibility of a baby spawning. i'd love to get one, but i don't think it's possible atm.



mabey i'm reaching that semi burn out phase..i'm looking forward to the new content of the expansion pack, but not necessarily to having to build a new template...i guess we shall see what happens...for me i would really like more content, such as more rares to tame, with realistic , yet not easy odds...along the lines of 1/1000, to me that's more important than being able to use my pets to beat pre teen toons in pvp.../ponder if i'm too old for this game..lol

Where did I say I wanted CH to be the only viable profession? Im looking through your quote of me and caint seem to find it anywhere. In my opinion the only way to really balance CH would be to impliment a control device that prevents us from stacking it 100% with another profession (This applies to CMs as well).


Honestly I think that the biggest reason we will be made stronger is because other professions will be made weaker but im also expecting a little boost in power as well.


And yes you are to old for this game

lol..it was an extrapalation of the ch without rifle/combat profession comment..i can't really imagine that working....if i had to chose between a combat profession and ch, there would have to be some more content (tameable creatures)introduced to ch, yet if i had no combat to try to tame the new content...omg i'm creating my own circular argument..lol...forget i said anything



/sits back in rocking chair and crack open a frosty ensure..and complains about the kids
