Thread: Devs Request for an experiment
You should have backups of "legacy code" from before the creature changes.
As part of the Combat revamp I have what I believe to be a reasonable request.
Set up a test server with combat as it currently is with one change, put the old code for creatures back in (the pre december 2003 nerf patch).
The experiment I would like to see the results of is thusly:
Had creatures never been weakened the PvE side of the game would not have become as unbalanced as it became.
Why do this: it could save you much time on the combat revamp if a simple creature reversion can solve most of the problems.
This server would have the Character builders so that everyone can master professions quickly and amass the resources for armor and weapons commonly found in game.
It is my belief that certain aspects of the game would change dramatically.
- There would be much fewer "solo groups" especially not on dantooine, dathomir, and Endor which are supposed to be adventure/expert planets.
- Mastering a elite combat profession in a day would end
- Soloing things like enraged rancors would not happen (even with the armor and buffs)
Would you be willing to conduct this experiment?
You have the free server seeing spacebeta1 comes down 10am tomorrow

Wabit I don't know anyingthiing about swordsman, but yes rifleman can solo almost anyting if they have tons of buffs (mind mostly) and 1 hour to spam conceal shot
there are much faster (and more fun)ways than spamming concealshot... i never used it unless it was to clear adults away from a baby, on to kill the enhanced kwi's in the geno caves (they landed an intimidate with the first hit every time on me)...
3 other profs that would be ok... commando, pikeman, and carbineers... the ones i've listed have at least AP2 weapons, or in commando's case a nice flame DOT...
and something i'd honsetly hate to see is krayts go back to the 50k HAM they used to have... that would end the little fun i have left in the game...

But I hope this gives them some food for thought. The game is in the state it is in because of their lack of vision and as always improper and inadequate testing.
JTL beta is over, there are still glareing bugs that as of the end of beta are still there. Yet they are going gold in 2 days because these bugs are with the highter end content and they hope to fix it before anyone reaches that point. Well beta also showed that it can take as little as 1 week to master pilot. I doubt they will fix it in 1 week.
