"unless you share your bed with a weaponsmith"

omg i actually fof lol

its so true

I didn't notice anything in there about the FSCS unlocking system. Wasn't that supposed to change in Publish 7?

I want to know a lot more about this experimentation thing. I can't tell from reading this if its going to be good or bad. I'm NOT a master, my experimentations already stink, so does this new system make me even a worse crafter? Masters already rule the roost in terms of items made, are we now giving them more advantage.

My biggest problem with many parts of the crafting system is it forces players to grind into master to be able to create sellable items. I DO NOT want to have to grind anything. I want to live my life as a crafter, sellilng items of some sort or another as I work my way up the trees. I either want to be able to sell something to a player (probably the best bet) or something to a master who can use my parts in his final creations. I don't want a system that creates an even wider gap between the novice who can do nothing, and the master.

Do you guys hate wookiees? Do you guys ever play wookiees? Ever? On a live server with a mature economy that produces high quality weapons and armor? The situation is ridiculous. I can't PVP at all. And in PVE I'm always the first to die, even if I'm buffed. We NEED armor.

If you read either of the wookiee threads in core systems forum you'll see a number of solutions for this problem have been presented with well thought out critiques of each solution. You'll see that the idea of giving us AR1 was already raised and discounted as a very poor solution. AR1 won't give us encumberance wich isn't fair to other players. AR1 is pretty useless in most situations though since most people use armor piercing weaponry. Your "fix" will actually cause us to take more damage, rather than less, in most situations.

Why do we need some special solution anyway? Why can't we have the same solution every other race gets, LET US WEAR ARMOR! Is it budget constraints? Is it time constraints? Would you have to create a ton of new art just to let us wear the armor that is in game? Is there some goofiness in the code that is preventing you from doing this? WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? An entire player race is essentially broken and you don't seem to care. If there is a logical reason for all of this nonsense please tell us!

I tend to agree they really need to help us wookies. I don't think us wearing armor is the correct answer, but having some "Built in" armor, even if not near as strong as other characters would be helpful. Some good combination so we don't have too many more people whining saying wookies are already too powerful. Always talking with people, it's "wookies have a HAM boost", give me a break...that ham boost doesn't compare anything to what people with composite get for defenses.

CL10 droids........for combat.......shuuuuuurley you mean a droid with 1 combat module will be cl10 right ? and a droid with 2 will be cl20 or cl15 and a droid with 3 modules will be cl25 or 30 ect

A cl10 droid is completly worthless just so you know because I KNOW you dont play this game so trust me on this or your wasting devs time makeing a useless new expansion and wasting players time making useless droids nobody wil buy except as something thats kewl to have.

if 6 modules make a CL10 droid you droid expansion is a COMPLETE waste of Devs time making and our time laffing at it.

if KD dizzy works on these new droids they will be even more useless so remember that too Did you forget the shied module ? remember there made from steel so there kinitic resistences should be around 90%

Also with merchent skills you can equip vendor with items we should be able to equip these droids with the weapons of our choice seeing how you already have that code made .

................................................................................

Defense stacking limit control is great its totally stupid as it is right now on live servers watching people tank krayte dragons makes me sick

your warcry fix if i read it right is bad .you want some Fool with a group tef to enter a crowd Shout and render all of them unable to fire there weapons because there scared of this idiot ?

Warcry shouldnt work on master level characters at ALL lets see some defense mods for master level characters against this stupid special. it should be effective against Noobs and primitive npcs not master level combat professions.

While were on the melee subject whats with these 20 meter long arms brawlers have which is longer than pistoleers ideal range on pistols ?

Do master brawlers have 20meter long arms ? if so you need to redo the animations so we see their arms strech out to 20 meters when they use lunge on us so everyone can see how STUPID looking it is ok

biggest problem your not addressing is group TEF you can fix this problem easy and make it fair..........listen closley

If a covert attacks and uses a group tef that person becomes OVERT instantly and will remain overt .

If a covert attacks a opposing faction npc he becomes overt !

if this same person is killed and clones in the same city he/she wears a TEF for 5 minutes but has a choice to clone at any npc city on the planet he dies on

you cant fight in battlefields right nowso use that same system on cloning centers .you cant fight inside a cloning center

..............................................................................

pets need to take only 25% of the damage in pvp like players do ..........pets even rancors are USELESS in pvp rancors gruals pets of this size should be immune to KD immune to warcry and should be feared in pvp not laffed at .

your adding new things.CHEF revamp......it has broken stuf in it.your fixing your new broke upgrades........your still fixing your new broke upgrades.

Fix the old stuff first the things that have been broke from the games release!

Fix balence the combat professions before wasting more time on useless junk that is new but doesnt work or thats new and useless like level 10 combat droids

Why cant we tame a bordok or a tybis there like horses and should be mounts ? the bantha and cupa will be nice mounts personally if you made a greater sludge panther a mount id take up CH again.

what you did in ch was great spreading out the tame and train so dabbers couldnt rape the profession now you need to make the profesion worth the points as it is MCH is about a 12 point profesion !

.....................................................................................

TKM has 210 accuracy....now your adding more accuracy against ranged attackers ?.......please explain why the most accurate to hit profession needs more accuracy ?

and while you explain that explain why someone with a lightweight vibro knuckler can do more damage faster than a fully automatic rifle /carbine /pistol.what is the logic here?

I really want to know why you and the Dev team think a unarmed/TK should be the most powerful combat class in accuracy /specials and damage/speed for so few skill points ?

Can you defend this ? please do i want to hear your explanitation cause its been this way a long time so it must be a feature not a bug ? LOL

when defense stacking is brought into reason you want everyone to be master TK/master rifleman ? maybe a better choice would be master brawler so you get 20meter long arms master rifle and just Kd2 in TK ? Oh ya and the warcry thingie cant forget the group tef keep all the overts from shooting you suprise attack !

you have massive problems in your system ive pointed a few out to you.Fix the broke stupid stuff before wasting time and resources on new stuff thats always broke .look at your history on new things you bring into the game all your doing is digging a deeper hole of broken things

and leaving most things in the game broken .

just like the guy before you did..................those who fail to read and learn from history are doomed to repeat it

ON BEHALF OF ALL CARBINEERS I CAN SPEAK FOR, THANK YOU!!!!!!

Defenses from TK do not go with Riflemen last time I checked. The reason for this is that they are unarmed defense abilities, not much more than that. Being a combination of the two just make one able to fight long and short distances.

You, defined as people with ranged weapons, can inflict a ton of damage on targets from far off, yet you want to gimp melee classes more when they are close? This sounds like you've been killed a few too many times and wish it to not happen again. If you stay away from a TK, you can win, pretty easily. If the TK is good at PvP, you may die. Why is it more accurate and fast? well, even in RL, punching will most likely be a bit more accurate and faster than a gun because the gun requires being aimed, where if you get into martial arts heavy enough, you can almost "feel" where you need to hit, and it becomes automatic after a short time.

TK is fine where it is, if you're dying from it, then learn better how to avoid being hit We get a 5m range at max, not 20m, and you get 65m or so. Just because we are faster doesn't make us best. I think you may want to do some research into melee classes to fully understand it better.

Oh, on the subject of vibros. Vibro length is like 3m right now, i've seen them hit at maybe 4m once in a great while, but 3m is it with vibros equipped. Interesting huh, unarmed we get 5m, armed we get 3m. go figure.

Well my 2 centsit's about the Bounty Hunters tracking system, some Bounty Hunters on the Corbantis Server are getting Combat Medics to throw poison/disease at Jedi while they are on their roof Macroing Jedi xp,poison/disease is bugged in that it goes throughWALLS and hits it's targets even though i cant target and fight back. That is an Exploit. If i'm doing it i cannot get down to fight back cause i'm TEF and cant go through my guild hall to get to them so they have no fear of being attacked. This needs to be fixed!!!!

Kind amakes rebels even weaker since all an imp ahs to do is pull out his 54k ham AT-ST and he doesn't need defense stacking. But in PVP rebels will have no good pets unless they are CH but an imp doesn't even need any training to have the most powerful killing machine abtainable to people by his side. Souds like they need to be nerfed a bit and Can anyone tell me the amount that defenses will cap at? I'm hoping for 100 but then I know that won't happen.
