The CH profession will believe it when we see it, so far every benefit given to CH has been made obsolete by other benefits to other professions.


Commando and Creature Handlers are in the same leaky life boat. We were "adjusted" in anticipation of the Combat Balance (was that the first term for the now CU?) but the Balance didn't happen. So we've been effectively reduced for a revised gaming system that hasn't been introduced for nearly a year.

Now that doesn't explain why bugs (such as the grenade speed being locked at 9 seconds no matter what your tapes or skill modifiers are) can't be fixed. All we know is that we're told they won't be fixed before the CU.

So the effect is that all the professions in that leaky lifeboat can't effectively compete in all the aspects of the current game. And the CU is supposed to fix that. When it comes. Next Rocvember-nalia. Which is the next February 29 which will be in 2008.

So grab an oar and let's try to get this boat on the shores of CU Island before it sinks.

Btw, I think many of us are just dieing for as much info as possible. And we can't wait to get more, especially for each one of our professions.


Now that I can relate to

I understand its been a long wait. I empathize, I really do. (Don't forget I still play on live almost every day and my main is a Commando).

Sometime next week we should have an announcement for you next week on why there has been an extra delay.








I wish so much your main was a Smuggler *sigh*

Ok, but if we don't hear something by the next friday feature, you know there'll be a mob after you...and I don't mean a NPC either.

I see the Wookiee community is getting some TLC with the new set of Kashyyyk melee weapons Although I don't play a wookiee I can't wait to start seeing wooks carrying these around and showing how deadly they are

If I may ask, can we expect to see a list of what damage types these weapons will be using? Some of them are obvious by the names of the weapon or their origin of creation however the majority does not say. I know things are changing as far as how damage is dealt with the upgrade but some further info other then a picture would be nice as well. I personally am interested in the melee weapons and damage types as I prefer that play style but it would be nice to have even a vague idea on all of them.

Things change and we understand that, some weapons might be removed and others will be put in with some others changing damage types as well to “fit in line”. It would just be nice to have an idea as to where it stands as of right now.

Some really cool looking weapons there, especially the carbines


I am not personally fond of the way the Renegade pistol looks, however. Then again I am a big DL-44 fan.

TH, since you are following this thread can you let us know whether Alpha testing has started yet? If not when do you expect it to start?

The new weapons are nice and so is the armor and the most recent patches but......


After Tyrant said this week we would be getting something, I've been on pins and needles for this feature, and well this really wasn't what I was looking for if ya catch my drift


TH, you haven't posted much in the last 2 weeks on the live side, but I've been watching your post count bro and you are talking madly to someone. Your post count count for the last 7 days is over 150. Not to sound like a pysco but I think the whole community is just looking for something, it's so bad I'm watching your post count


Please tell me the CU is at least being coded and someone thought of something new...just something man please......

One question for ya TH...

Is the marauder sword onehanded or 2handed?




ya that is the question isn't it. but i think it is onehanded since it doesn't have a long handel and doesn't say 2-hand like the 2-hand sith sword i believe it is a 1-hand weapon.

So this is the information that SOETyrant had us all excited about from the Stratics chat?


So you guys goin to step up to the plate an admit you've delayed this thing to meet a May release? Its amazing we get nothing not even small fixes as we wait month after month and you guys continue to gladly recieve our subscriptions. Truly wonderful PR.
