I have hoped i was missing something with Master Doc. Though it seems I havent. To make any money at all now I have to have BE also. Which makes me drop my combat profession to keep Doc. Making me level 45.

Great.

Or I can keep combat and not make any money, but for standing around buffing for pennies, or running 10k group missions.

Unfortunately with everyone being able to heal themselves. Doc services are only really required during PVP. Which unless you are in a PVP guild, wont happen often. The rest of the time I just stand around counting butterflies. (at a distance mind you).

Sure docs can heal 10x quicker than the normal combatant. Though now everyone has to group hunt, its not often that High level people need a doc on a level 80 mission.

Which Still means I either need a combat profession to get a low level attack bonus, and make no money by selling stim Ds to everyone. Or stand around waiting for someone to die.

Id rather be having fun.

So my ALT will now be something else. Maybe WS.

Oh and good going Devs on the great conversions from my very nice buffpacks stims and woundpacks to their new alternatives, just with extremely crappy stats.


Who will buy or want to use 450 Stims, when they can get 1200 Stims?



Not to mention the money already thrown out the door with weapons like Geo blasters and Vibro Knucklers that were worth millions, now worth squat. Though thats for another forum.

after being a master doc on farstar since server up, Nov '03 and a master doc on shadowfire for about 3-4 months prior to that ... I have finally dropped it, its just not worth it to me ... I'm finally going to play with a double master combat profession - Matter of fact, I'm not even sure I'm going to keep medic as I've never been a pvp'er and rarely get incapped in groups now


At first I hated the cu, however I'm warming up to the combat aspect of the game which I'd hated for so long, if Ranger profession gets remedied maybe i'll rejoin them otherwise I'll have to maybe check out real life v.3.0


As of now all four accounts are cancelled which could change as they all have time left on them, I'm giving the game a chance but for now, for my play style I just don't see it worth the sp cost anymore :/

ROTFLMAO!


Thank you for that, I feel your pain. I cancelled my account yesterday. They might sort it out in few months.

It's a different focus to the profession now, and it will appeal to a different type of player. Nothing wrong with that. I'm not keeping my doc either, but some people will enjoy playing the new way. That's the nature of these things.


Then, in a few months they'll turn it upside down again, so if you don't like it now then wait a while.

They way I see it, is that the crafting doc isn't completely gone, but before there is a point in crafting buffs, they will have to make them seriously better than 'magic' buffs we can do now.


Before, I took my ressources, made my schematics, popped them into my factories and sold the buffkits.


After the CU, what we need to do now is have the BE's do the schematics with ressource samples. Our ressources aren't useless (well, they are now but hopefully they will fix the buff bugs). I can still take 200 units of the 6 ressources I need, to see a BE that has 10+ points and have that person make the schematics. After, I need to go back to them with samples of components and avian meat/reactive gas and have them do the schematics for the final product.


So the ressources are still good. But what I think is really bad is the millions we invested in getting 11 or 12 points and now, because master Doc is only good for 50 points, there is no point in going up to 70. So, BEs will now buy those items but as long as the crafted buffs are barely better than magic buffs, I don't know any BE that will be willing to pay what I paid to get those 2 extra points.


I really don't mind the concept, i mean, have you ever met a Doc in real life that made his own medication? Not really.


But before this balances out nicely enough, I believe they need to change a few things


1) Remove the magic buffs or decuce them .

2) Make sure crafted buffs hit from 20 to 40% so make them valuable again. Because as long as buffs are not valuable, BE's wont be able to charge to make schematics. If Docs can't make money off of buffs, BEs wont make cash and scouts won't make cash either.


Before, I could make a buff set, 30 uses, sell it for about 120k and it would cost me between 30k and 40k to craft. I wouldn't mind paying a BE 10k per set to create the schematics, they need to make a living also, but I have to be able to sell the final product and that's the problem. Today, the crafted product is marginally better than the magic buff which gives it no value.


Make crafted buffs hit for 20-40% for 90 minutes (just a suggestion) and i'll gladly pay a BE to create the schematics and share the wealth. But now, they give useless schematics to BE in the hope that BE will be a nice prof again. But as soon as buffs become serious again (and i'm not talking a boost of 2500 like before, but enough to have a market value) and Docs should be happier, plus BE's will be in demand again.


Just my opinion.

WHAAAAAH!!!


All professions have been changed like this. We just have to adjust to a new profession for our game style. Look on the bright side, respec your Master Doc into a Master Bounty hunter and go out and play boba fett. If you want to make money without fighting turn to armor smith. Cost me 1 million credits for a suit of Assult stormtrooper armor for my Master Commando. Now I can watch things burn in style

I know how to make money in the post CU world.

Wound heals. I intend on charging $5-10K for them. Wound healing is all they left for us doctors (well, Jedi can do it as well) so I suggest we take advantage of it.

I'm VERY upset that the new buffs can't be made to last 3 hrs.

I'd have far fewer problems with the respec if they did. If they'd ever let us respec ALL of our SP's, I'd like to convert my doctor/dancer into a doctor/CM/novice entertainer.
