Well, I made a def stacker to see what all this GCW nonsense was about and, yeah, it was fun after a fashion.
Then I decided to see if a Ranger template would let me take part. I was only going combatant, none of that SF for me. So, a TKM/Ranger was rolled.
Buffed but no armour, it took me half an hour to work my way round Mos Espa and kill every Imperial NPC bar two who were stuck inthe artwork. The weirdo civilians stopped wailing on rebel me and attacked some wandering Imperial PC's.
Course,within half an hour the town had fallen back to the Imperials and was full of white plastic and ATST's.
I headed out in the wilds. Yep, our cammo works against faction NPC's but NOT against the ATST who managed to break it at 80m. How do I know it was the ATST? It was the only 'animal' with a high enough CL to give 140xp nearby.
As for cammo working on PC's, yep, I think we should be able to 'stealth' out of sight. The big argument against this is that somebody could use software to pick up the hidden player, but hey, people could use software to do lots of WRONG things.
Traps against players, dev's have said no in the past. Dunno that it'd be worth the effort, tbh. Might be fun tho. And of course, the CM's would be lobbing their little vials of death and we'd be lobbing our disco ball traps...
anyway, with the GCW changes coming in, am resigning tll I see how its going to play out, lol.
