This is retarded. This game is easy with a mastered combat proffesion or two... Whats left after that? Some stupidly hard space dungeon that takes waaaay to many people to do. So then whats the point of running around with all these buffs to make this game even easier?
Theres already ballence issues... and buffs just multiply that by 10. Not just in PVE but most definately in PVP. Evrey one and their mother runs around in 80% (or better composite) and buffed to atleast 2500 for PVP fights... This is getting really old really fast. You cant compete in PvP without them... No matter what your template. I dont feel like spending 10k for a set of buffs that will be gone soon as some guy in 80% composite and his acklay stun batton shows up on my radar... But not spending that 10k means i die even faster.
Its not you doctors fault...its the lack forsight of the devs and utter lack of a real test cycle... I think all this UBER armor and buffs are the biggest problem with this game...Second is the balence issues between classes.
These arnt going to ever get fixed either...
So im done ranting... and closer and closer to not renewing my account.

I duno I PvP all the time. Buffed and unbuffed. Sometimes I will rebuff in the middle of PvP but usualy PvP is almost over after the initial onslaught. If not I will buff again. Heck during PvP with my Doc I don't charge for buffs at all and if I see like 500 wounds to something will heal that as well. Then the fun begins as my droids start having to dodge blaster bolts and my head imediatly becomes a huge shoot me target.
Anyway I agree that buffs make most of the content too easy. There is no way a novice anything should be able to solo an ancientrancor. (Then again I think that MOBs should be way harder than they are. They should do much more damage)

enh, it's not the damage that's the problem. it's that the AI is crap.
Buffs don't take all the challenge out of the game if it doesn't matter if you were fighting a gubbur or a krayt, the fight would still be the same, just with more or less damage.

This post is worthless, all you are doing is crying, not even a positive resolution.
It's the armor and the unbalanced combat classes, NOT the buffs.

A) Sounds like PvP isn't so easy for you...maybe thats what is left.
B) That 10k spent is nothing...with buffs, a master combat prof, and any 80% kinetic armor one can do a 30k+ mission in 5 minutes.
Now even if I double that time to 10 minutes...3 hour buffs will allow you to make around 1/2 million credits before those buffs run out.
Please name one other item you can buy in this game that gives you a 4900% return on your investment in 3 hours.

Last week I held a Old School hunt on Dath.
No buffs
No armor (well on guy came in some bone armor with 9% heat and 0 % kin. The outfit rocked)
No advanced weapons (cert had to be givin in marksman or brawler)
No bikes
The only New School item allowed was rezing and there was a bit of that needed.
It was a lot of fun.
If you think buffs are too strong go unbuffed. Don't play the game by other's standards. Play it your way and be happy about it.
If were up to me the max buff would be about 1.5k and would require some looted item and armor would be no more than 50%. Do I play this way now? Not very often but I do at times just for fun.

Buffs require a looted item?
That would kill this game, ha.

First of all what exactly did you accomplish by putting this in the Doctor forum unless you have some strange attraction to being flamed? Take your complaints to the Devs not to us. This forum has absolutely nothing to do with Composite armor, your financial situation, or how badly you got beaten down in the Corvette (most of us did). If you don't want to pay for buffs then either a) become a Doc or b) fight unbuffed. Nowb) will knock you out of PvP so if your unhappy with that go play UT 2004 or something but take this crap to the GCW or your Server forums.

I partially agree, but 80% kinetic armor is more to blame IMO.
i dont think just 80% kinetic all armor with 60+ of any damage type..
if you goto the nightsister POI's, fight the high lvl mob's on endor, enraged bull rancors on dath, force crystal hunters on dantoonieetc in small groups or try and solo it with out armor then its hard damn hard and imo you will die i dont care how good you are or think you are,even in a large'ishgroup and your meleethere is a good chance you willdie and so will everyone else, even if you have the best buffs money can buy, or you can make.. the game PvE in general is as easy or hard as you make it for your self.
maybe the orgional poster should go try solo'ing afew of these things then come back crying about how easy everything is, cos i doubt he will.

How about I charge 100k for my buffs then only a select few can afford them, that will then give you the chance to come back and post how docs rip people off and the game is too hard. Every MMORPG has classes that can buff period, it is not the buffs, maybe not even the armor, I say make the mobs harder. OOpps then you might cry about how hard this game is. Please go away and post on the whiner boards!
Humm maybe changing prices on buffs might actually make the game harder

As you know buffs are going to be serverly crippled in the combat rebalance along with armor and the HAM bars.
