Thread: AT-ST changes on Test Center
It realy make's you wonder if the Dev every read any of the replys to there posts at all huh???
"Sorry Lord Vader, Emporer... if I go overt the Rebel empire will find me and hunt me down. I wish I could go out there and fight for you but I just don't see it hapenning."
"But we have given you access to some very powerful Pets, we call them AT-ST's... but you can rename them once they are yours. Just remember to feed, cloth, and play with him often. They are very demanding of your attention, just like real pets. But you can only take out one at a time."
"Well your Lordship... I have several already, but I can't bring them out to play with them, feed them, or cloth them. The Rebel Empire found a weakness in their armor."
"Nonsense! We built these monstrosities out of very toughest of material. They can withstand several direct rocket blasts and still come out on top. Where is this weakness you speak of?"
"Well my Lord... it's the whole armor system on them. Good against rockets, but watch this"
Imperial Resistance Member_01 lights a match and holds it up just barely touching the AT-ST. The whole entire frame of the AT-ST lights ablaze quickly burning into nothingness before everyone's eyes.
"Oh that... Well, we meant them to be like that. Yes, Very tough versus everything but fire. So just keep them away from the commandos and go play with him."
"Well, uhh... sure Lord Vader. I will just be going now. Lots of.... things to do. Yeah, things."
Imperial Resistance Member_01 mutters to himself, "Why did I join the empire again?"
ccheatah and fehast I agree. I find it perhaps we should start a post about getting our name changed to the Imperial Resistance. I guess we're in an alternate starwars universe.
As for the AT-ST burning up...think how bad it is for smokers...
Yay just got my AT-ST time to celebrate with a smokie treat...life is good man I'm really starting to get somewhere...W_T_F! NOOooOOoooo!
(Only you can prevent AT-ST fires...)
w00t! 23 pages and still going strong! Keep it up guys, cause the government...i mean devs, will just ignore all the rants cause they're rebel boys.
My friends list gets shorter and shorter from each nerf, how's SOE making good buisness here?
And why am I an imp again? 5:1 against me? Any weapons/advantage gets removed when proven useful? #($ *(@*(# )(@ @)#($ *@+#_%+@)# @( %)@(#* %@(# $)(@_#)($@_#$@ )@ ~!!
We got something sweet planned for the devs to talk about, but I wonder how long it'll last before they nerf the HQ's....OOps, i said to much.
Thanks.
I agree with a great deal of what you said, but one thing.
-AT-ST's should have nothing to do with Creature Handlers!!!!
"What about RANK, does rank have anything to do with this game at all except the title *lol*? I believe that rank should determine how many faction pets you have, and what level faction pets you can own, this makes it so much more clear then to make every one become a Creature Handler. Thats just what we want, more Creature Handlers! (Sarcastic)
Overall, -(Rank, should determine the number of faction pets you can have out at one time, and should determin the level of faction pets you can own)
-I'm an overt Imp all the time, like 3rd highest rank (which took a lot of usless time), i own 2 AT-ST's (which i worked very hard to get, and not to mention half of their health is wounds!), and if you don't incorporate the rank system into owning at-st's instead of that CH method, I'm so going to go rebel, cause its pointless to be an outnumbered IMP, 2 covert, and 1 overt reb, nearly killed both my AT-ST's in one hit, they would have died, if I were not gouped with 3 other imps!So don't tell me that AT-ST's are to strong, if you go up against one with a CEDF PISTOL, sure you will die, and those are the people wining,but people who have played this game for awhile know how to kill them fast!
wow 23 pages good going devs see what you started come on devs think of the players for onece not your self and you obviously bad idea come on i bet even Mr. Lucas himself wouldpimp slap you for what your trying to do with his
pride and joy this makes no scence there are more rebel ops then us we have no major equipment nothing special
just a atst that you are nerfing here is myadvice how about you make atst the way it was way back when it was soemting to be proud of and give the rebels something equil to fight us with because im for one sick of this war looking so sad and small when does the action begin
another thing i was looking if you guys want more imps to jon have GOOD exclusive items only for imps and
make it harder to join the rebels after all they are aginst imperial law to be one and the rebels dont trust just every one so make it like 400 or 500 fp to join the rebels and please use the rank for something its just sitting there
im a warrent officer 2 and i still dont know what the hell that meens for me you guys are going in the wrong direction
remember this game is not free you cant survive with out us
and if your goint to nerf the atst anyways bring in the AT-AT and give the rebels something to fight with
i know your trying to balance but there are other ways to do it and NO i dont care how strong this one player is they should not be able to take down a atst it should be a group effort like the ewaks did i would have died laughing if i say a ewak with a flamethrower taking down a AT-ST.............
so my summery is NO DOT's for At-St and give the Rebels something too also with no DOT's
and for peet sake the ch faction pet idea is plane laughible LOL i dont think vader was a ch and he had a entire navey LOL and they wer all out at onece make this game more like the movies and less like your own spin on it

23 Pages no reply from the Devs. So far I have made no more than 5 posts about the GCW all of them being a little bit lengthy. I have never gotten a reply, or any answers to my questions. I have heard the DEVS can't keep up, not enough of them, working on other things. But when there are 23 Pages of the communities (im guessing only 2/3 being Imps.) There are ways to make things fair without making it an even playing field. Give rebels certain perks and give Imps certain Perks. Imps have better trained men, more men, more equipment, more money, more power. Rebels have guerilla warfar, more courage and bravery, and they are smarter. You can easily implament this into the game.
1) Rebels can go overt and covert much easier than Imps, such as no need for a recruiter, that way guerilla warfar WILL be used, instead of rebels holding cities like THEED and BESTINE.
2) Give Rebels ways to find out locations of Imp bases make it hard, but not that hard.
3) Give Rebels squad leader type qualities over their personal troops. i.e. increased accuracy and aiming, and other stat improvements.
4) Give Imps acces to more and better troops. (Make AT-STs have only 1 or maybe MAYBE 2 crucial weaknesses ONLY 2 it is essential that they only have 2 or less. I don't know if im making myself clear. It only makes sense for Rocket Launchers and add in demolition charges or something of that sort.
5) Make Imp weapons and Armor better.
I continously hear DEVs ranting about balencing, excellent, I want fair teams, I want them to be fair, but for them not to be equal. Give them different qualities, some have smarts, some have strength, some have support, some have weapons. Right now The DEVs are trying to balence the game, a few more thoughts.
1) Rebels have the vast majority of players like 4-1 or 3-1 depending on server and such.
2) All the Imp benefits (aka the AT-ST) have major weaknesses that make them almosta sore trigger finger. It would almost be better not to use them and save the faction points for something else (aka nothing because faction points dont have that much valie except for pets and the pointless ranks.)
3) In the movies Imps had the advantage by at least 4-1, I'll give you 3-1. They had everything except the brains and the element of surprise. Instead of making the teams equal, make the even. There isa difference. This will also make players use different stratagies instead of just Imps with the same proffesions and pets vrs Rebs with the same proffesions and pets. Add some stuff.
Oh to actually answer the whole AT-ST and CH shpeal. I like nothing you have done with it. All you have done is nerfed it for Imps. Anyways since only players will read this this is my United States of Whatever...!
i agree with vipers there needs to be a whole revamp of the faction they are to important to the star wars setting to be screwed up you devs are thinking about the now not the latter you need to think hows this nerf is gong to affect the moths ahead there needs to be a reason for going in to a PvP battle field and ther issnt right now
for one imps are out numberd and two your taking the atst away basicly no none will use it and how will a battle field look with only a couple scattered storm troopers and rebel forces around a huge battle fiesld
AND IM GOING TO KEEP STANDING ON MY SOAP BOS UNTIL I GET HERD FROM YOU DEVS SO DONT EXPECT ME OR ANY OTHER FAN OF THIS GAME TO STOp REPLYING TO THIS THRE
i waited to long for this game to come out for you to ruin it while its still so new i still stand by the fact that there is realy nothing for the rebs because that is where the ch problem is comming from no goop faction petts for them so they go ch to get them so PlEASe give them something you can even make it apart of a monthly story
like the rebels raid a old trad federation planet and take a TON of assult tanks as spoiles of war
and use some of vipers ideas to fill in the games that make this game incomplete
I would like to publicly and formally state my dislike towards the next AT-ST patch.
Degrade my armor, lower my resistances, even go so low as to leave the HAM the same, but to rob a person of 9400 * assuming you arehuman* or 28,000 faction points for some raceson something that cannot be used in PVE is insane.
There is no logical reasoning to why an AT-ST would let an ewok.. or even a chuba stand there and watch me get killed.( especially since i'm a Colonel
I am also very disappointed that this is like the 2nd AT-ST nerf in like 1 month.
How else can non-ch, crafters get anything done. Dark troopers cost 2000+ faction points, and is all they do is fall over, turn into an NPC character , not be able to STORE , then get killed by the closest non-aggro creature. I WILL NOT buy any troopers, because of this insane bug.
This is the only faction pet that actually works to some degree, and now there will be no PVE pets for non-chs as an imperial that work properly.

instead of nerfing the heck out of everything why dont you guys fix some of the broken down, and useless professions? yes i hunt with my atsts, no i dont pvp with em, as i dont pvp at all if i can help it. between my two characters i major in smuggler, droid engineer, merchant, and artisian. the biggest bonus with smuggler is the faction discount as lets face it any smuggler will tell you that the discount and slicing is about the only benefit of that proffesion right now. as far as droid engineer goes, you guys keep talking out your rears about doing this and doing that for us, yet without action its just hot air, and hollow. i go out and hunt with my atsts so i can have something to do while i wait and hope that someday you guys will get off your butts and fix these skills so i can actually do something worthwhile with em, and my atsts are the only chance i have to get a holocron, because at the prices they go for, not many droid engineers or smugglers can afford them with the welfare checks.......er sales we make from our skills. all this talk about balancing, if you mean it put some of these proffessions on an even playing field so we can have the same opportunities to thrive that some of the other professions have. i can deal with one atst out at a time but to take it away from pve when i busted my but to get one is absurd. dont give me this crap about 'we dont feel that imperials should have free reign of there equipment to go out and harvest hides either', which indicates your desire to make this game as 'accurate' to the star wars world as possible. if that were the case would the rebels outnumber the imperials? would creatures be more popular than droids? there are several more inaccuracies with this game as it obtains to the star wars world, why should this one be the big issue? like it or not it comes down to the fact that there are more rebel subscribers than imperial and like you have shown in the past you are laying down in bed with the ones who are paying your bills. every time they cry you guys jump right up and bring them a tissue. i would have no problem with this nerf if loot items were given to everyone in the group, as now thats what i will be forced to do. i will be forced to join up with people and have to put up loot hoggers, and people who just dont get the concept of sharing.i am sick of having my game style dictated by the people who complain on a daily basis on this forum, and i am sick of devolpers who would rather concern themselves with things like this while people who chose certain professions are stuck at the bottom of the food chain. go ahead and put up your stupid posts about 'you should drop those skills and get another profession', and 'your using atsts to xploit this and xploit that'. i ve read em before and dont xpect this to be any different. i dont normally complain on these forums, go ahead and look up all my other posts, but i have just about had it with everything that i have going for me in this game being taken away every time theres a new update. hey heres an idea, give us droid engineers our pre-nerf probots back with the upcoming update, maybe then we wont be cluttering up all the soup kitchens, while we wait for a government cheese to come in, or hey maybe make spices on par with some of these other buffs running around.
