Thread: How would you react or what would you think if they villiage was disabled?
So in essence you would love a server where:
1) The only reasonable armor was Composite
as opposed to post cu where all armor is devided into 3 classes with the same stats? same could have been done while keeping the pre cu system without wow'ing it into a ton of misc grafical annoyances. Armor is the same now, like my armorsmith friend says : the look is just a skin, and in pvp the only valid armor is pretty much either assault or battle both with pretty similar stats.
2) Bounty Hunters had to master two full professions and then were rewarded with no content and broken skills.
As opposed to being able to master a full combat proffession + more and soloing ancients, entire lairs of creatures, healing better than docs pre cu while staying safe inside armor break sliced armor.
3) People could be Gods with a combination of stacked Professions, Doctor buffs, Spice and Composite Armor.
as opposed to my alt being a god by using stacked proffessions, doc buffs, spice, food and armor break sliced adk'd and overpowered healing.
4) Swordsman/Doctor could wipe out armies of Nightsisters and players who weren't melee stackers.
as opposed to my alt again being able to do pretty much the same if it wasnt for the 6 second db timer, tanking 6 players is not much of a problem, soloing lvl96 dark jedi knights on a lvl73 ftw.
5) A Player base in the GcW could be practically soloed to destruction.
still can if you know what youre doing, my guild has 2 slicers who can solo kill pvp deteachment HQ's and do so pretty much every night.
6) Groups were non-existent except as gank squads for PvP
as opposed to leaving the computer frustrated to hell because in order to level im forced to group with other people, even though i just wanted to spend an hour grinding before work or going to bed and i have to spend 30 minutes finding a group, then wait 15 minutes while they all find missions, then another 10 to get everyone to the mission.
7) Carbineer didn't work
Still has borked attacks, scatter shot, full auto area doesnt work all the time, kneecap shot from rifleman is just as good as cripple, a smuggler commando has better crowd control, only gets 1 decent damage shot which is sub par compared to critical or torso from bh, only thing good about carbineer is to use a chargeshot macro to run around while rooted and to go at burstrun speed all the time.
8) Pikeman sucked unless you have a NS mindfire/poison lance... so everyone got one.
Still pretty much sucks, the only line worth anything is the x-x-4-x line, the other good "pike" attack is aoe KD which you get the basic at x-x-x-4 brawler and thats just as good as the imp one, like a friend of mine said : i should go to the pikeman boards and post "the best pikeman template" just because it has no pikeman in it. The pike crowd control warcry, intimidate, and aoe KD can all be gotten and used with a powerhammer or with a junti mace for more damage than any pike weapon, just spend the 42 skillpoints getting 0-0-3-4 swords for better attacks and advanced armor break.
9) Non Pvpers who chose a faction could easily be sucked into PvP if they stumbled too close to the wrong NPC or base.
As opposed to people leaving their alts combatant AFK faction farming to plop down another 200 bases pr planet to control the GCW score, making the smuggler 4-x-x-x useless, except for the faction point reduction, combatants destroying other players items without giving the owner a chance to defend, 80m arms to take down turrets without getting npc aggro or the ability to be attacked by other players.
10) People were complaining on the forums as much as they do now.
People will always whine, the devs should have told the majority of morons who got the old system changed to stf-u from the get go.
I'm sorry but I have been around since the beginning and for me to sit back and think that pre-patch 9 was a bed of roses would make me a hypocrite. There has always been major problems in this game, fixes only reveal other issues that go from minor to major on these forums. I would bet that anyone who ventured over to your pre patch 9 server and played for a few months would come running back to a post CU server after crossing paths with a melee stacking templater with a DOT lance. Some of us haven't forgotten, so we prefer to move on instead of reminiscing on a past that stunk as much as the present.
pre cu is even more unbalanced, and alot less fun than pre cu was. i miss being able to tank without spamming heals, the ability to actually level up solo, watching a jedi fight and going "holy crap this was awesome" as opposed to post cu almost falling asleep.
You seriously think much changed?
Umm if not much has changed then why go back when you just made several points yourself saying that you can be UBBER yourself in the game you currently have.. SO as I see it no reason to change back if like as you say its the same...
GOTCHA...
Remember when your flamming me... I'm laughing at you...
NUFF SAID>.
