i recent patch dropped the skill point costs of Image Designer skill boxes down to 1 point per box. it was a way of showing the entertainers some love.

lol, wow. Let me think of a few of the major things to list off.


-With the type of armor that could be crafted then, and the power that doc buffs and entertainer buffs had. Players were virually invincible in all but the worst of PvE situations.


-Players could loot weapons 5 times stronger then the "norm" and completely dominate combat in PvP.


-Players could obtain weapons with super DOT's (damage over time) on them, hit you once, then wait you out for a few seconds until you died


-All three pools, health, action, and mind were targetable and if one reached zero you were incapped.


-There were many more type of weapon damage. The damage that weapon did was 100% of that type, not just a part of it.


-Armor had different resistances to many of there types so it actually made a difference in your choice of weapon.


-Jedi's lightsabers had their own type of damage that nothing had a resistance to.


-There were different levels of armor. light, medium, heavy, and the amount of damage bonus you'd get or damage reduction you'd get wou be based off of the armor piercing rating of your weapon vs. the armor type.


-To do anything worthwhile, you'd spend about 10-15 minutes waiting in line to see a doctor then listening and watching entertainers before you were "ready" for combat.


-You'd have to come "back in" ever couple of hours to get "rebuffed" to be able to keep fighting.


-The version of grinding was WAY different. Instead of 8 people going out and doing the missions togather and all getting full experience and money, people would group up 20 togather. This would raise the mission level and everyone would go off and do their own 2 mission on their own. This was because then, experience and money were split between group members instead.


-There were no combat levels. A creature would always give the same amount of experience every time you killed one. (different amounts for different species) and would hit you any harder or softer based on it's "level" vs you.


-Even though "high level" stuff was easy to kill. They had incredibly high armor ratings and resistances with almost a half million health making for increadibly long, drawn out fights.


I could keep going on, but these are a few of the major things that I remember. Then ENTIRE combat system was basically changed. Everything was brought mostly in line with everything else. Now you don't have super characters going out and dominating everything. The game is MUCH more fun as now. Before we were "punished" for grouping, now we are "rewared" for it which is a big plus. People can pick up any combination of skills now and it will be basically level with any other set of skills. Before there were only a few "good" professions that were worth being for combat purposes. Don't worry when you see the occasional person whine about wanting to go back to "Pre-CU" 99% of the people that play now will say that the CU is way better and you aren't missing anything.
