Fencer Archive

Hi ya'all,
I'm just trying to keep everyone in the loop and avert rumors and cries of despair before all details are known. There's a new patch on TC that includes some bleed changes (that may well change before hitting live). I've given a bit of a write up on it . . .

. . . HERE.

--- The Clan McDonnell ---

Gaffyn McDonnell -- Master of Blades (master fencer/swordsman/brawler)
Flynn McDonnell -- Master Weapon Smith (+22 exp), Armorsmith (+25 exp)
Lorrinne McDonnell -- Nightsister (pike/doc)

I read this on the pistoleer forums and tbh honest it sucks big time. Why can't they just leave some things, cos some things actually work well in the game.

even tho i totally disagree with this they do have a point... it did make soloing pretty easy

for those of you who hate being burned to death, this rule also applies to the fire stack many of you where unaware of.

Hi,

I think it's dumb. They always say stuffs like group-play and team-play. But the missions are rarely group beneficial. In fact, many quest missions are solo missions. So if I get the quest, only I complete the quest even if others in the team help out.

I think their are trying to divert us from the real problems. I dislike people like that who sweep stuff under the rag even when it is not necessary.

Thank you for the information StGabriel...guess now I get to change jobs so I can be on when the server population is high so I can find a group...

No reason to be a pistoleer/fencer anymore Anther character nerfed

no I do not believe this is a good thing. but I was kind of expecting something like this to be comming soon.

after all, the Astromech Tech thingy they had up for the last few weeks said Stormtroopers and Dark Troopers (and many other similar level mobs) were not intended to be soloable.

Found it again:

Top Ten Things That People Solo But Shouldn't Be Able ToWithTheir Current Skills/Weapon:
(red con solos)

1. tusken captain
2. tusken warlord
3. tusken chief
4. untrained wielder of the dark side
5. dark force crystal hunter
6. fierce piket protector
7. dark trooper
8. piket plains walker
9. piket
10. stormtrooper

So with the change to bleeds you can see that they are trying to fit the game back into their broken "vision". A little late tho. peeps will still do what they do, just take them a little longer.

Peeps will adapt. yea its gonna suck the first few weeks after this goes live, but we'll just change our tactics and move on, buisness like usual.

bleh this sucks ass....i don't mind not stacking fencer + pistol bleeds, but are we not going to be able to stack fencer bleed 2 + 1???? Why even freakin have it.

I hope they will give us another skill or a new weapon to compensate for this. I want a rapier badly.

Though, I highlydoubt this will happen soon, if ever.

Should perhaps point out that this has been misinterpreted a bit. The list was basically a list of the most commonly solo'd things that conned red to the person doing the soloing. If a million newbie artisans went out and killed red-conning Meatlumps or something, Meatlumps would be on that list, too.

I believe they specifically stated that stormtroopers, at least, are not considered something that nobody should be soloing, although I don't know about the status of the rest of the critters on the list.

Another thing about astromech stats is the SWG Con system is poorly designed. It doesnt take into effect the armor or if the character is buffed .. if at master Fencer a hurton is red to you.. ok but if at master fencer with full buffs and comp on it shouldnt be red to you anymore. Instead if its red it stays red regardless of what the char is wearing and if there buffed.
