Are you guys at liberty to say, without any specifics, if buffs will be kept desirable to the average player?
i'm not a tester or dev, and i cannot provide any definate info.
but i have read posts where developers have said that their will still be a need and demand for doctor applied enhancements. the actual numbers will probably be different, but it will still be a desirable skill for both the players providing the service and receiving.

Im so excited:
1) Loot got enhanced: "New loot, loot from broken stuff, and classification of loot, so good stuff from hign mobs and the crap to the low mobs." Yesterday i hunted for much time........aakuans where i usually get some rings, clothes and 2-5 AA's +5, i got 4 broken things lol. SO in reality i think its a nerfing as now because of the reusability of the broken loot, this drops more often, and the good usable loot more less often
. Then they nerf the solo group a good money apportunity for combat profs. So now as a master swordman im left broke as they force me to go make 3.5k-5k missions or something. Ok cool.

Ok cool.2) Buff rebalance: So nice indeed. To nerf buff to get as i heard to the range of 500-800 stat enhance, thats so great. Now as a doc i wont be able to buff for a worthwile amount for money for my time.
So this is great
If i end up broke and with no money, no functonality for gaming too.
SO GOGOGO SOE an d a happy new year

all i hope for is that my resources i have keep the same value..
i.e. good fibre/wheat = good abec, wish i knew what the deal was..
.. also what to do, make all my buffs now, justincase we get "pre-nerf" buffs.. or hang on to resources and hope.. argh.. cant wait to hear.. but then, hehe.. if everyone hears that its best to make the buffs now, they will pump em out, then the market will be flooded, with no hope to sell em..

I wouldn't worry about that. If anything happens, logically what it would be is a 900 power enhance pack will get a different formula or multiplier, so it may hit for 1800 instead of 2450. So I wouldn't worry that your ABEC's are suddenly gonna suck.

Even if buffs are nerfed hard, ABECs (as an example) will still be useful. Less demand for buffs = more demand for stims. The only resources I could see taking a significant price/value hit with a major buff nerf are avian meat and to a lesser extent herbivore meat and class 4 liquid. Few doctors would pay 75 cpu for good class 4 just to add 5 more power to a stim B, but they gladly do it for buffs.

Yeah, kinda what i was meaning. I have several large stocks of decent avian left, the choice is.. make em into buffs now, or hold onto them in the hope that the nerf will still allow for the same results as i would get now.. in comparison i mean.

I would also presume that we'll have some notice as to whats going to happen before it actually happens.(they've stated it will go into public beta, ala we'll get details before its live) I wouldn't recommend buying more supplies than you need till the dust settles, but I wouldn't worry about using what you have now. Play the game as it is until it changes. Don't fret over it that much. Docs will have a place post-CU. And, if they tweak the difficulty of combat to a more group-centric playstyle, then docs will have MORE of a role than the currently do. Plus, the whole buff for those that like to solo isn't likely to go away.

I wouldm't use the word "nerf" to describe anything - the combat upgrade is all about bringing balance to the game. So many systems are going to change. And IMHO for the betterI assume you are a sandbox tester.I am unaware of the process (obviously), Can you request any sort of info bullets that you would be allowed to release?
Wish I could but we can't really say anything at all.
Hopefully Thunderheart or Tiggs will release more tidbits of info soon enough.
I think the main reason they have not released much is nothing is set in stone yet and they don't want to commit to a specific and then find out that it does not work as they had hoped once it gets playtested on the Sandbox. If they commit to something and then have to change their stance people freak out - ie. the Jedi robes incident.

i dunno. i think pve is gonna revamp but pvp will still be as cruel to imperials as it always was. I mean, imperials are just wide open in theed or kaadara while rebels storm by in groups of 20 with master buffs. We imperials are too comfortable sometimes. Either way, pvp might not change too much, I HAVE NO IDEA!

Don't worry...i'm working to make sure buffs get nerfed so hard that it causes the doc wounds to buff another player, and make sure the buffs are max 200pts, and that if you get caught buffing in front of Theed or Coronet then Lord Vader will arrive and slice you into itty, bitty pieces.
