No it's possible. You're just gona be looking at either the best on-the-go programing job ever that might turn this game around, or the most messed up pile of crap anyone has ever seen in the history of MMORPGsMessage Edited by obiwan137 on 03-25-2005 05:27 AM

The CU is a combat nerf, plain and simple. Many players want to be forced into grouping and have begged for this for a long time. I don't agree with it, but the nerf criers will have their demands met.

You think it's normal that once you hit a master prof you can solo pretty much everything in the game? I dont. I miss the good old days when no good armors were available. We used to get in a group to go hunt Thunes on Dantooine for $$ unbuffed with creatures tanking for us. (of course, the system wasnt really different from now, we were just n00bs) No one believed in melee combat prof since we were playing a SW game. (heck... SW= guns)
I really think the CU will be for the best, you are just afraid that you'll loose your uBeRnESS... dont worry pals, you'll be able to pull off some l33tness somewhere here and there with the new system. And I'm pretty sure we'll be able to do everything we want with a group of 5 for example.
anyway, I'm just fed up with ppl complaining about something that is not even out yet. I say take some deep breaths, do what you have to do for the moment (grind w/e you like then STOP, they'll give us the opportunity to remap the template).

I hope CU will make jedi grinding easier and intresting. I got 2 fs branches filled and nearly get bored and frustated.I stop grinding for weeks now. I don'tlike the idea that CU make jedi grind harder. But some ways CU will make it true do to lower armor resist and weak buff. I don't know if we can still do grenade grind anymore after CU.

Is much as I'm worrying about the CU I'm kinda looking forward to it. I'm worried cause I'm starting the Jedi grind for padawan and this may mess me up a lot. But I think the CU will make this more of a MMORPG like the others out there are, with the whole cool down of a special and recharge of your Action and Mind. But to quote someone who probably said it best "The CU will either make or break the game"

I think that you are all forgetting
THAT To release the Combat upgrade that soon be would insane.
To hold up to wat they are doing. and what they have said. They need to modify every profession every weapon every npc every creature every mission every themepark every food / items etc. Convert new things for each profession that will coop. work with the current system since medic/docs are being changed. TEST THEM . FIND FLAWs . FIX FLAWS. RETEST THEM.
They are basically making a new game and your telling me thats gonna be done in a month ? no no. THE CU will prob be released little by little or a nice chunk of it then little pieces and pieces after wards. theres no way that that much can be completed that fast unless they hope that we will be the open beta testers on LIVE Servers. which has been the case all other times.

Did everyone forget they've had this going on (slowly of course) since the FIRST time they mentioned a Combat Revamp (which turned into a Combat Upgrade)?
This isn't something they decided to do 2 months ago...this was as of last year they've been working on the CU. People are Alpha Testing it now, working out the big bugs and giving feedback...once it gets ready for Beta it will get here...JTL was in Beta for only a month...month and a half and it was a new game in a sense...this will be done in time.
Will it be perfect? Of course not...but I think it will be fun. Stop being pesamists and try to enjoy yourself. If you an't enjoy yourself then please proceed to use /cancelaccount If you're not having fun then don't play.

I wrote this in a different post a lil bit ago before reading this and I think it fits better here. So here is my opinion on things.
One thing I DO fear about the combat revamp is that it will go the way of Saga of Ryzom (If anyone else played this when it came out they would know too). On that game they redid the NPCs and MOBs and the combat and it was pretty close to impossible to solo anything besides the most basic of newbie MOBs and NPCs. It required a group to kill a normal to higher end MOB. Not to mention the groups of the kitin which took like 5-10+ people to handle. Their wereno vehicles or mounts and to travel from one land to annother you had to be in a HUGE group and take long trek to even be safe in taveling from one land to annother. I just hope that it doesn't end up being as rediculous as that. Personally, I like being a lone wolf alot of times while hunting my enemy down PC and NPCs alike. Though I do enjoy group play I don't like having it shoved down my proverbial throat. I have two accounts, the one that is going to be jedi and the alt who is going to be a BH and my second account has my MasterSwords/MasterDoc. I fear to think of what would happen if something like this struck in the middle of my padawan grind. I'm also something of a loot whore on my second account and I like to solo most of my NPCs for loot. Only grouping with my lil' bros toon and some of my friends. This would greatly effect me and many like me who like to 'go it alone' most of the time. Sorry if this seems like a rant, I'll shut my hole, but I just fear that the game will change so dramatically that I won't want to play anymore. I joined this game to play it like it is, not to have it turn into a completly different game. /rant off

i have a mixed opinion on how the CU will go and how XP will be afterwards. I'll pretty much gaurantee nade grinding is history, better jump on that bandwagon while you can. Hell i a full tree without commando and am in the process of switching to it so i can finish up the xp i'll need for 3 more trees at my leisure instead of being forced to nade grind every night for some lenght of time instead of a night here and there.
Also i don't think many people are getting the whole CU + RotW thing. RotW could not be possible if the CU were not released at the same time. That whole expansion was built alongside this CU and utilizes all its features. To say the RotW expansion will be before the CU is pure ignorance. The only way way the CU gets postponed is if RotW gets postponed, but thats not to say the CU can't be released before the expansion if they do indeed postpone the whole project release date.

Oh I have no doubt they will release the CU when they plan too (May 5th I believe). What I find scary is that it hasn't been tested yet by the players and are the ones who find out most of the bugs that were overlooked. What will happen imo is that it will be released with no testing, or possibly just one weekend on TC, and we will be plauged with bugs the like of which have never been seen. Along with new exploits that will inevitably follow I feel it would be wiser of them to wait an extra month and have it tested by the general public before it goes live for a good month.

Ok. This could have been mentioned before, maybe maybe not, if I'm wrong *open mouth insert foot etc*
I heard that CU is going in Test Center next week or sooner, HOWEVER, they are going to release the same date as they will release RoTW, but you don't have to buy RoTW to download CU. And I just finished reading all of the stuff about CU...thus far....grrr... Nade grinding seems to be not an option.. as they say you can only use so many Special class bassed attacks in a certain amount of time. And you now have to be CERTIFIED to wear armor... Don't know about the rest of you but reading what I have kind of scares me. I can finish my grind by the time CU hits, only need the xp for four more branches. They are also changing Lightsaber damage to energy damage...I think they are messing with a lot of dangerous stuff =X but I could be wrong. Just have to wait and see.
Btw...anyone heard anything directly about how xp will be rewarded, or if it will be changed at all?
Well...the epic grind to Jedi continues...
