I've just spent the better part of 4 hours on TC-EP3 and there is a bigger than HUGE learning curve. We will have to relearn everything, and quickly, if we want to keep our friends/guildmates/fellow players alive.

The "influx of new players" that will appear after EP3 hits the theaters will have the advantage of coming from WoW and EQ2 and will not be confused by the new graphics. They will also have the extreme advantage of learning everything from the ground up (assuming they don't AFK macro it) instead of having to relearn everything they already knew.

This will be a huge PITA for those of us who can do the /commands in our sleep. It will take me quite a while to remember that /curedisease is something else now, and that /healdamage doesn't even exist.

After reviewing all the new “innate” abilities that I gained when the Magic Frog licked me and made me a M. Doc and trying to figure out what the new meds are for, and what the /commands and icons are for my new magic abilities all I know is I have a huge headache. /healdamage self

Maybe I'm too old and set in my ways to learn new things. Maybe my mind is too full of useless clutter (like the poem I wrote when I was 10 or the name of my ex-husband) to remember new stuff. Maybe I'm a lesser player because I can't comprehend the graphics overload at the top of my screen. Whatever the reason, I am having a really hard time remembering the new /commands and the new icons don't help at all to jog a memory.

I would really appreciate any tips anyone has for remembering all this new stuff, because for the love of the Force I don’t seem to be able to.

We can’t make the Devs change anything. We can’t even make them listen to what we want. All we can do is accept that our profession as we know it is changing, and we have to either muddle through, pick a new profession, or find a new game.

What I would love to see is a bunch of us Docs meet in TC-EP3 and try to figure this all out together. There is strength in numbers, and we are quickly loosing valuable Docs. Believe me, I hate this CU just as much as the next person, for MANY reasons. But I’ve reached the point that I have to either accept Doc for what it’s about to become and see if I can stomach it, or find something else to do. That said, I did create another character on TC-EP3 and pick a few new professions. There are certainly alternatives still.

If anyone wants to organize a “Docs Invade TC-EP3” event, I am SO there. My name is Es’rina there if anyone wants to give me a holler.

Ok Day 2....

I made Nutrient Enhancer with 798 Effectiveness (not sure what this means) and I still only gave a 10% buff.

Endorphine Enhancer 796 ...also only a 10% buff....

Considering our auto skills for buffing is 10% this is HIGHLY agitating and I repeat to myself...>This is just a test...it is only a test...remember its a test...and it will surely be fixed.
