flurry 2 and combat style and friends

old decent fights not the ganks where 6 people could take on 15+ etc.. now its just cr#p

1: Combat queue (so I could watch the battle instead of staring at my Mardi Gras style icons to prepare for my next special.)

1. PVP in anchorhead
2. Watching the first jedi on the server at work

1) Seeing other players

2) Staying awake

I enjoy how almost every single person says combat speed.

I just came back from leaving the week the CU came out and I have to say I'm still finding it very hard to adjust to this game. They had such a good combat system back in the day, I've been around since June 03. The speed of the combat was so fast and exciting you had to be on your toes the whole time to fight. Now it just seems to me that they slowed everything down and dumbed everything down so that your ordinary joe schmo can pvp. There in my opinion is no real sense of skill or strategy to PvP anymore. I remember having to keep hitting the combat queue to clear moves so I could heal and to make targets prone/kd. Now its basically from what I've seen in the past week or so, infusion, armor break, spam power hit and dervish. What is this heal over time BS? C'mon thats an I win button if I've ever seen one. The worst part is that normal toons have it too. What is the purpose of it? So you don't waste more force healing? C'mon, back in the day if you wasted force healing you were losing anyway and you deserved to die.

Another thing I found out which is by far the dumbest thing I've seen so far is the timer for a deathblow. If you get incapped in PvP why don't you deserve to die? You lost, you should be dead. What takes so long to say stab someone after they are down? Makes no sense at all, just an easy way for crappy PvPers to get back up after being whooped on by someone who is better than they are.

Powers are as far as I can tell still utter junk, my toon has MPowers cause of a friend changing my template. I fought a BH a day or so ago, and it took me a good 2 mins to kill him with force choke. Force choke, from what I have seen from the movies/books/cartoons/comics you name it, isn't that one of the most powerful attacks a jedi/sith can wield? Dooku hit Obi Wan a known and popular Jedi Master and he couldn't even defend against it. You mean to tell me an everyday run of the mill assassin would take it and just get up and keep shooting at you?

All I ask is for SOE to put more thought into the game. You made jedi an average profession, everyone has it. What happened to obtaining jedi being hard? You complain about the abundance of jedi but you basically make it one of the easiest things to get in the game. The pearl drops are still messed up, this isn't an issue with me because I have a ton of pre CU pearls. But the point is, you can't expect everyone to stay around if you are going to give them horrible items when they've gone through the work to get something and then make it boring.

Enough ranting cause I'm just gonna end up getting mad like I did when they announced the CU... my 2 picks are..

Of Course #1 is combat speed, the number 1 thing that made this game unique was how fast paced the combat was and its the first thing they got rid of in the CU.

2. Its hard to pick between the combat queue or the FRS system. The FRS was bad but at least it gave jedi a reason to pvp. Now its basically a who's saber is better fight. KD/dervish/armor break repeat... I remember when you had to use dervish, slash, throw, all 3 heals, heal states, heal poison, heal disease, channel, so on... now its 4 buttons.

It just seems all the old schoolers got screwed over, they took 2 years to figure out and master how to PvP then you dumb it down for all the new blood and make us just as plain as they are. Its no wonder all the accounts that were cancelled are gone. You can't expect someone to invest that much time in something and have it all taken away from them and expect them to settle for what you give them. Its bad judgement and for the biggest part its bad business... someday you guys need to brighten up and actually listen to your customer base, you can't expect to keep adding new things all the time and neglecting real problems. You can only add so much before you are out of ideas, fix what is wrong and actually please your customers and you'll form a loyal base of customers to be around for a long time. Not just people who stay for a few months and go,thats just my .2$.

don't know what you've got till its gone...

1) friends;
2) combat;

1) Being a unique Jedi, not that many Jedi were around back then, I mean sure you'd know who was one and all but then again, there were those people who were actually good at hiding the fact that they were, I would gladly grind Jedi out for a year if it means being unique, since I was only half way finished by the turn of the CU, and I had finished it about 3 days after the release of CU..

2) Lightsaber damage, along with the faster combat, and FORCE RUN 3, I miss that

In all, Jedi period.

Since the CU we've been reduced to swordsmen who cant wear armor who are forced to be snared(if you want armor) and wielding a flashlight that doesnt damage anything..

/bump =p
