Hahahahahh...you said "Combat Balance". Didn't you see that is coming after JTL? That means it is at LEAST 5 months away, which is 5*15=$65 away. You can buy another game with that money where these problems are fixed NOW. LOL

Create new types of craftable armor from various loot drops, that drop at a standard normal frequency, and have the new armor have special resists to the different damage types, while having weaknesses to others.
(Basically, add new armor, change exisiting armor, make some of the armor "specialized" against certain weapons)
Think of it like archers beat horsemen, horsemen beat infantry, infantry beat archers, but in a armor/weapon sense.

I would have to suggest finishing the game you released a year ago before releasing an expansion that will be just as flawed as the game it is expanding upon.

Ditto.
Maybe listen to your player base while you are at it. TH, I know you are only the messanger, but this means you are the "face of the devs" to us. So, I would suggest taking a look at the 1000+ angry posts that followed your announcement.
agreed

Rangersdesire to become more thanskill pointdeficient "super-scouts";we are particularly interested in having increased defence and offence combat capabilities against creatures, wild or player-controlled, giving us a role in both PvE and PvP and the GCW;this can be accomplished within the current state ofcombat by using existingcode such ascreature to-hit, damage stat mods, & toughness; this would allow us to be the greathunters we were meant to beandnot force us to drop the profession welove tocompete withelite combat profession stackers with only novice scout.

Make faction armour craftable - give it inherent stun resists and an airtight helmet for poison / disease resists.
Then at least we'll have Stormtroopers vs Rebel Marines at fights instead of Composite vs Composite.
i agree, but the resists to stun would have to be as high or higher than the rest of them, comparable to comp armor to incurage their use and only allow 1 set of armor per player at any time. If they want another set they'll have to destroy their current set first, and sorry its 2 sentences instead of 1.

Add a scope based attack system for long range combat (most applicable to Riflemen, maybe BHs).
That was the one sentence deal, here's my justification for those willing to read...
I was a Marine for 6 years. I qualified on rifles 6 times. I made expert 5 times. Not once, never, did I ever fire on anything under 100 yards. As most of you know, we used a M16A2 service rifle with adjustable sights, no scope.
However, with the very advanced T21 rifle, I can't engage ANYTHING unless I am within 64 meters (around 68 yards).
Now, I am awful with pistols. 3 qualifications as a Sharpshooter (that's 2 out of 3, expert being #1), and there, I was firing at 25 feet tops (about 7+ meters). Yet I can successfully engage with a scout blaster at the same 64 meters I do withmy rifle (not as well, but shooting a lot faster helps make up for it). If simpler games such as Metal Gear and Halo can offer a rifle sighting system (you have to account for breathing, aim needs to be maintained, not just set and shoot), why can't SWG?
Summary : make snipers actual snipers, make ranged combat truly at range. Only the rebels at Gettysburg ever had to wait to fire until they saw the whites of their enemies' eyes.
