The banned

I join the ranks of all the great CH's who spoke out

but now I am back and well unimpressed by the CU.
Yes we will get some respect back (and whatever respec is)
But it's too little too late.

I have played with the CU, on the low side it seems to help balance things out. On the other side they took an amazeingly complex and fasinateing system and dumbed it down.

There were so many things they could have done to change the current system without loseing it's essence (get rid of the I can incap me before you can part) but instead they eliminated what made SWG different.

I do see good comming out of the CU, but I see it as a downgrade not a upgrade.

Yup the more I play it the less I like it.


and you left a couple of names out lol. But you are in good company on that list


If it helps I think me and meuw have ruffled a few feathers in your absence lol


You do realise now that you made the "Black List" that anything you say can and will be used against you in any debate they (powers that be) choose to ignore but lurk in.


Well welcome back


For what its worth I'm thinking of dropping TC, not really worth my time if I cant grind mch before its live. CH is "THE" only reason I signed on. and in my daily diary thread and in one of Jokers theres a link to a nice thread explaining the new lvl system. I can only hope they listen, yea hope is such a repeated word here.


I have been contemplating leaving, I waited too long and have been too dissapointed to often.


Unfortunatly even if I hit the cancel button I'm screwed, i lost track of the date and was automatically renewed for 6 months, didn't notice it till the bill came. I called SOE by phone and had the auto renew shut off, they dont reimberse you so I'm stuck here till September whether I like it or not, my second account got renewed for 3 months so thats a little easier to swallow. Oh well its my fault for not paying attention.


If things don't improve between now and then I'l save my credits like an old miser lol. then dump them into a couple of houses and retire from the game. I said it once before but ya know something I am reaching the point where I don't care anymore, as soon as I stop caring completely there will be no reason to stay. Hell all my friends are gone and I mean all of them. one pops in once every 3 months for a week then goes lol.


damn I'm babbling, guess its because you of all people my good talon can understand where I am coming from.

i'm with you man, i don't feel compelled to try to make the curb tolerable..some feel it is a personal goal to make ch a worthy stand alone combat profession, and as admirable as that task is, who really cares if the rest of the game isn't worth playing? when it comes down to it, if it's fun we play, if not we don't..at least from my perspective


so far the curb is anything but fun..

Ihave tried to like the CU, I really have. But i don't, been a ch since launch, left it for a few months and just recently came back and am having loads of fun. But the CU is going to make the game not fun, there are way too many ways to fix combat w/o a revamp. (such as toughness changes, some speed and defense changes is all that is really needed) The CU on test is also a pain becasue i dont want to grind out a character that will be deleted, just enable the frogs to a point or something, why waste time on a character that will no longer exist when i could go after a baby bull.

Look at the bright side guys. So far our pets will really kill. If a mere Rock Beetle is death to anoob and a Rancor is only a group killable then think about it. Having one Rancor makes you very powerful at the moment.

its not really like that, our rancor and a wild one will do different damage from eachother


its hard to explain but our pets are doing damage close to our weapons, and depending on your character level creatures hit you for different damage. don't count on a rancor saving your butt, lol if its purple conleave it alone.

To be honest with you, there is not one thing I like about the "upgrade" at all. I was so thrilled that they where fixing combat back in the day. When i heard about what they where doing and read up on it, all my faith in the game went out the window. I dont care if they make us stronger or give us any advantages. Yes CH is what i live for in the game and the only thing keeping me playing, but with a change of the entire combat system, it wont be galaxies anymore. Ill feel like a noob again. I didnt want the game to change, I wanted them to fix the problems. They took it too far, and i am not happy. Im pretty sure that soon me and all my rare and valuable companions will vanish in the (screwy) galaxie far, far away. Besides I am REAL tired of seeing jedi. The sound of the damn lightsaber makes me wanna jump out the window with my faith.

I have faith in the CU.


If it fails, it fails, I'll still have my comerades, friends, and guildies.


If it suceeds I shall rejoice.


I don't see a point in such negativity. I frankly don't mind bieng a newbie with everyone else, and eventualy things will get to the point they are now, people will know how to use the system too well, and things will change again.


I feel things are already over simplified, as a TKM all I ever need to use is center of bieng, knockdown, and unarmed head hit, or hit 3.


That's three profession specific attacks. That's what TKMs are going to end up with around anyway.


Maybe they should make some non CU servers.

Im 1211 rifles and (still) novice CH.

there areissues with the level system, but its been changed at least twice in the last 4 days, so Im not passing judgement yet on that.

the rest , to me, is more fun. As a master rifleman on live, I use 2 , maybe 3 of my available 16 or so special attacks , due to either duplication (startle/surprise) or some just being obsolete(headshot 1, 2).

On CU, Im still using placed shot during the longer cooldown of my high power attacks, and aggro management seems a harder more tactical thing now, which to me at least is an improvement.

The Ch stuff, its really difficult to say, Ch is a profession that, more than any other really, can only be properly judged at master.
Not because of power, but because i havent got enough commands available to be able to fight as I do on live, Ill keep grinding away, but i dont think Ill be able to pass any sort of judgement until we are allowed to use the frogs for master.

High end needs a lot of testing, so I do hope they give it enough time.

in other words just like in beta, CH will not be fully tested and the nerf cries will begin again.
