I got talking to a Master Doc the other day and to cut a long chat short he told me he was earning 8-10 million a day in credits (I think he had a buff bot). This is not a flame on all you Docs out there but there is something seriously wrong when all the professions rely on 1 single profession to get things done in-game. How many of you would even consider doing anything remotely "difficult" without your buffs?.


I don't know about the rest of you but my log-in routine is :-


1. Log in

2. Head to Coronet

3. Find Master Doc

4. Get in line

5. Hand over 10-15k

6. 30 minutes after logging in go and play SWG !!!


Surely this is wrong. I want to log in go and do something for half an hour to an hour and take a break. At the moment this is not possible because of the wasted cost on your buffs if you don't use them.


p.s.


If I make 150k a day I consider that a good return for my time

I'm sure it will be "fixed" in the Combat Balance...problem is that comes out after JTL and with the current track record it will come out after all the JTL fixes. So I would guess at another 6 months if we're lucky!!!!!!

Doctors depend on high quality resources such as avain meat for good buffs. That is why I milk them for all it's worth, and I'm sure other people do too. I doubt the doctor clears that much money after buying/crafting buff packs. Besides, it has got to be as boring as hell. Just another person who has sold their soul for virtual power (i.e. jedi)

PS we never had buffs until about 6 months after release. You really don't need them unless you are trying to do stuff that is too high level for U. Slow down and smell the narglatches.

You consider 150k good? I can make that in 15 minutes easily.



My sig is of little use now due to the fact that I have quit.

well, a while ago when many people started to play the game, buffs were not the norm, we had to group and do missions together in order to get our xp, docs were healing in the field, no solo groups, camps between missions to heal pets and ourselves with medics and entertainers dabblers.

big discussions between missions, while camping.

they removed camping needs
we made buffs/soloing as a norm

screwing game score:
devs: 1
gamers: 1

I'm still having fun, but I miss the good old days.

I remember the first time I had a buff, it was while huning with guildies, one of em pretended to be a jedi (he actually was doc/CM) and I believed him cause he was healing ourselves with ease and enhanced my HAM stats for maybe 15 minutes and 500 points each (buffs were random at that time tho), and I've had never seen that. I was like "wow ! I'm hunting with a jedi !!!"

whatever ....

what's the point of powergrinding money ?
I do millions everyday as running my shop. at least I can go and hang out with buddies, shopping etc... without having to rinse/repeat rancor missions. I can say that once the buffs came as a norm, I didn't have fun in fighting anymore (I hate to solo/grind), and the fun came back with my shop. I can actually PLAY several hours without even getting a buff. stocking the vendors here, chatting with noobs there, hang out in ID tents and do some RP etc...

where's the fun when you go and kill hundreds of enraged rancors/jantas/whatever for hours ? getting to buy "uber" weapons so you can kill more and show off in front of people ?

this game has no goals, one can only play it in purpose to have fun and be active in the community otherwise it's some low end "beat em up" game, so better get an amiga and play double dragon instead.

why crafters rarely complain ?

cause as a crafter you got plenty of goals
- get the best ressources
- find out the way to experiment the best stuff
- crafting rare/difficult items and getting cool money out of it
- cool competition with other players
etc... etc...

as a fighter the only things you can do are:
- missions/quests/TP
- loot hunt (can't even go hunt for decent loot solo anymore since NPCs got their specials fixed)
- PvP (wich is screwed by jedis anyway)

so basically you can complete any fighter's goals in like what, 2 months ?
add to this the fact that most fighters go solo these days.

and tell me why you're still paying your 15$/month to go play solo with the lowest end of this game

1/3 of the professions are combat related. if you wanna fight, then you picked the wrong game.
