Thread: “Oh my…sir, he says there are several creatures approaching�
I have to agree that the new changes have destroyed the ch class and made them either useless or so nonstop stim usage as to null and void decent mission payouts unless you are doing missions that arent even a challenge without pets.
Even with high weapon skills, mobs that were easy before (and should be easy) can kill 2 maulers easily. for example, when it takes 4 good stims. lots of powerups and multiple bleeds and overchargeshots to do aeasy 15k piket lair and still have maulers with barely any ham left... it's time to find another game. Even if i do make my own weapons and stims via alts. would be a lot cheaper to kite the mobs, which means ch class is useless unless ye just need to buy a little time to get multiple bleed shots off.
BTW grauls cl30 are now better pets than maulers cl35, they take less damage and since pets are NOT the major damage dealers nor have they ever been to anyone with any weapon skills, they are a better choice.
Sure there may be new pets out there that can do better, but i am not interested in taming everything in site to find them or long searches to get one when word gets around nor waste a large amount of time to replace all the useless pets now on my datapad. its that simple. i dont buy pets and for most ch to even consider it would need to do tons of very low missions to avoid stim costs to even make decent credits to buy one.
so if it's gonna be severe boredom and monotony to repair the damage the damage done with this patch, i dont see the point in doing so.no other class interests me, not even jedi (because i am not willing nor a big enough sucker to master professons i have no interest in to go through all the bs to get, otherwise it might be the only other class to interest me).
Guilds or large groups to do missions? if thats ye plan for the future, almost everyone i play with or enjoy chatting with will be leaving too. we decided that a long time ago. thats fine for the average player whose either very young or dont game well enough to be able to do well on their own yet, but for the more mature crowd, guilds are less than desireable (social guilds excepted), except for the very rare boss type mobs which really dont need a guild, just a competent group. those who can, do. those who can't, ZERG.
tonight, friends who have been pissed off by previous nerfs but not enough to leave, have started talking about looking for a new game after doing some missons and seeing the changes.these are folks who just bought additional accts to have another char to play as well as one who just came over from eq to play with us again. I got the distinct feeling it wasnt just moaning and groaning, but how they really feel.
As for anyone claiming it (CH) was overpowered before (ok i agree that dabbers shouldnt have had theperks of those who mastered it) they need to get out more as they are talking nonsense. when it takes a group of master ch's, with weapon skills to boot, to do krayts and along comes someone from other professions and easily kills ones solo without much risk,i would hardly call ch overpowered.
to put it bluntly, if you dont want the ch class in swg *or dont want it to be fun norable to solo*just bite the $ $$ bullet of folks deleting their accts, and just delete the class altogether.
I myself am going to wait only long enough (new years probably is long enough)to see if this obsurd patch gets unnerfed before deciding to delete my accts. i am not willing to continue if i am not having fun and constantly running into nerfs is no fun. These creature nerfs make no sense and plainly put have ruined the game for almost everyone i play with.
If its the pvp cryers ye cattering to, then catter to them by putting them on their OWN pvp servers.
Did you guys even consider, that the best Pets now no longer come from the wilderness with taming, but from Bio Engineers? (Plain... this won't change anything with the current Gameplay, you just need to buy your 60% kinetic / AR1 pets from BEs...i still solo the same Stuff as before)
Lets take a closer look:
1.) Tamed Creatures are not worth the Spacein the Datapad no more...you can't sell em either, cuz theysuck.
2.) BEs...who got Millions each day with selling Stims / Clothing Tissuesgonna earn tripple+ now with this new Cloned Pets.
3.) People who don't want to throw their credits in BE pockets are now FORCED to do so...(you need the nice Kinetic pets, and you will need 4 times the Stims you used before...or you can't Solo)
4.) Mounts = useless now, thanks Vehicles...
5.) Add Point 1,2,3,4 together and you will understand, that CHsnow have nochance on selling Pets...
Basicly you totally screwed all theCHs out there, while giving BEs another way to get even more Millions of Credits...
Maybe i should simply surrender everything, and learn BE / Merchant / Ranger...
WTS lvl.69 Kimogila 500k... mohaha!
I say the proposals and was frankly nervous about how much they were destroying the CH class...well looks like it has been destroyed. The only people who are happy are non-CHs who think the wholeclass doesn't fit within the Star Wars theme.
Personally I think they need to get over themselves, I am as big a Star Wars fan as they come but the pets don't bug me anymore than all the cities onwhat should be wilderness worlds what were the Devs thinking when they made the starter worlds have LESS cities.but whatever Lol. It's a game, it's all about the fun factor plan and simple.
This is become unfun, I like several other people will wait...a little while to see if this gets readjusted to make actual sense. But there is no reason to spend hours working at acheiving things in a game to have them snached everytime someone complains that they got killed in PvP.

Thunderheart could ya tell me what professions are on the slate to be looked at next by the inquisition..um I mean Dev Team? I would like to know which professions to avoid.
GSP moved from 22 to 25 so 3 = 75 which is 5 over the limit they promised to not move. So the devil keeps the promise of 3 pets and the promise of level 70 as max and still gets his due by simply changing the items not in the promise.
