Medic Archive
Thread: Medic issues this week, what should I do.
Commando is by far the most broken profression. (Followed by Combat medic).. Commando has the dubious distinction, of also being pretty much affected by the most number of other profession's bugs, as well as general bugs.
The devs can't balance the profession with bugs... they have to balance it as if everything was working, or else they'd have to nerf it whe nthey did get to fix everything.
Overall, I'm pretty pro dev... but every time they announce a new policy or program, they drop the ball. We are currently waiting for fixes for tons of bugs that were fixed in beta and came back in live. Lots of serious screw-ups all over the place, ones I would not expect from Sony, considering their experience in the MMOG field.
The devs are playing catchup to get to the point they were at for the end of beta... when they do that, they can play catchup on the 2 more months they really neded to release.
This big patch (whenever we get it), is pretty much them catching up and making some advances. WHile I am the medic correspondant, I play 9 professions over 2 characters on 2 computers...(planning to get a 3rd acct. soon for anoter crack at commando BTW) everyone is hurting.
Though Medics (base medics) are gimped much less than a lot of other professions. It actually makes my job pretty easy as far as it all goes. I get more "do you know what annoys me?" kind of posts then "AAAAGGGHAHHAHHA nothing works!"

hehehe medics still work...expect for the fact that damage in PvP is totally out of control and healing is almost impossible...
funny that i can solo 2 red rebel npcs with 6000+ HAM bars but i step outside a star port as an overt and i get eyeshot for 900 mind or flameshot for 350 damage + 80 wounds every 15 secs...even stopping shot is hitting for ungodly amounts of damage...
the game is totally overcharged in terms of damage of any kind
lol sad thing is there is no end game right now except PvP for this game..theme parks are bugged up the wazoo from what i hear....
so now what?
I dunno, I alwauys have plenty to do. A friend of mine is working under the assumption you need to 'kill 1 of everything' to be a jedi, so I go on his rare mob hunts from time to time... I play MMOG's to play with other people more than play as a goal in and of itself. A friend just bought the game, and I helped him kill gubbers for 2 hours yesterday. Fun is what you make of it.

it is one of the strong points IMO.
I hate games where there is soemthing you can only do one you max your character... SWG lets you do anything you want (it is scaled).. but 4 boxes short of master lets you do the same things as master.
I'm burned out from years of EQ.

i dunno there is a lot of push for the max u can get still built in the SWG...
novice doctors cant rez only master surgeons can...
novice architects cant build PA halls
there is definately a idea of xp grind in the game...
even the very idea of a merchant profession with merchant xp kind of makes u think u have to level...
its much less power xp oriented than other games...but to say there is no end game and the whole game is an end game is a bit much...
but this game does allow much more leeway in the sense of what to do when u are maxed out on skill points than other games...just would be nice if there was more stuff that was quest or game oriented...maybe when they kick the theme packs into high gear this will change
Yes,
I think the devs need to start chanting a single Mantra "Change Control". Know it, use it, love it. And the brother to that "Change Logs". If they all went through the halls of Sony chanting this, I think we'd see fewer "stealth, oops we thought that was already in there, fixes". We'd also see less foot-in-mouth issues like holo when he said you can get extra xp for experimenting.
There is a big difference between quests/rewards and endgame.

Well it may be that since I was only had 3-4 points to spend I wasn't seeing anything. But if you read that massive "Factory XP" thread you'll see that alot of other people were having that problem too.
Complexity seems to make it harder to make things (thus make them take longer to craft, and increaseing failure rates on items made from high complexity items over your +crafting skills), rather than anything else.
I haven't ever gotten more xp by experimenting sicne beta 3.
There are any number of "huh?" topics floating around in the profession boards. Nobody seems to have a firm grasp on what is in or not at this time.
