Thread: Heard a rumour....

Some of this may come from complaints from the dancer/musician forums that they can't self buff... many comparisons have been made along the lines of... "but Doctors can self-buff, why can't we?" Using DevLogic... doesnt this sound like a perfect reason to remove any ability for anyone (even chefs and smugglers) to buff themselves?
Instead of adding the ability for dancers or musicians to self buff, it seems likely the 'fix' would be to remove anyone's ability to self buff. If you havent seen this kind of logic applied to SWG in the past, you havent been around long, nor played much. And no... I have seen no entertainers ask for a Doctor nerf, but then... What wasthe Dev'sproposed answer to riflemen and using specials from the unhealable mind pool? Make all HAM usage from ANY weapon specials be unhealable. This was on TC for a while. It was pulled, but will probably be coming back with the rst of the 'combat balance re-write'. You saw it here first. I bet its coming.

and does this seem stupid to everyone else instead of bringing the classes up lets tear em all down to the lowest level
like a story we read way back in jr high about 9 years ago for me
all the people in the story were put to the lowest level by the "hadicap general"
so if you was smart they gave you earphones that played loud noise if you was beautiful you had to wear hideious masks
in any event i guess the devs and programming team are lazy instead of writing new code to fix a buff problem they'll just disable everything
i hope this is not the case
everyday i read things on this forum that just make me throw this game outside take a wee wee on it then light it on fire
Thanks Zarlor for debunking this rumor before it really got rolling.

Yeah ifI were not able to self buff I'd have to really think about the Doctor profession, I bet a lot of Dr's would be lost. I love the profession, but its just too many points not to have that advantage. Though it somewhat does make sense, unless your some John Wayne doctor, I dont see you operating on yourself.

Actually I've always compared buffing to getting a shot of adrelalin or something like that. You don't actually physcially make your muscles bigger for more strength for 2 hours, you pump some chemicals in that do that for a certain time.
The nerf would be something like withdrawal or dependencies on it. 
but sreousl no it wont happen unless i see THunderheart post and confirm it i assume it a rumor
Zarlor, quit beating around the bush and tell us straight out: are they going to take away our ability to self buff?

Ricklowdis: PLEASE go back and read my response. What you are reading is paranoid speculation and unfounded rumor. Removing self buffing would be ludicrous, IMHO and the Devs have NEVER mentioned ever considering anything of the sort. All indicators at this time are that the entertainer problem is completely different and being looked into. You'll have to wait for the Top 5 from one of thsoe professions (I forget which had it) to get any details when they come out this coming week.
Do NOT drink the Quickness pack C sir... Step away from the crafting station, with your hands above your head....
