I just looked at the In testing, and checked out how the new patch was shaping up. all i can say is /yawn.... really, It doesn't do much of anything for anyone. Just little fixes which i guess are good, but I mean it's just a whole lot of nothing. I guess I shouldn't expect a whole lot from one patch, but it's really UN-spectacular,

Anyone else check it out and feel the same way? Maybe i missed something that is exciting, I hope so....

Can be looked at two ways I guess, they didn't have anything ready and didn't want to push it out early or are just ignoring alot of stuff

I'm looking forward to the new mind buffs that are on par with Health/Action bar buffs from Doctors.

Well at least they learned from one mistake, the release of this game, not to push out something too early, or more likely they are just doing what they normally do, and what they have been doing since the release, ignoring issues.

Whoa, mind buffs??? Please explain!

The mind buffs you can currently get from Master Dancers are going to last as long as doctor buffs.

Those mind buffs are no where near on par with doc buffs in my opinion. To buff health, str, con, action, stam, quick you need 1 doc and about 2 mins of waiting for some really big and long lasting buffs. For mind, focus, willpower you need a master dancer AND a master musician, and need to spend alot of time doing nothing watching them.

You die after a doc buff, no big deal...go back to doc, 2 min later you back in the fight. You die after dancer buff, ok go sit in cantina for an hour again. Also this makes it harder for us to kill people running around with huge mind bars now, most medics will probably have 2200 mind, our 300pt headshots is going to take forever to knock that down not to mention the higher regen they will have. So headshots will be more worthless then they are now, we have just lost our mind pool advantage for attacking.

I can't see any mention of changing heavy weapons damage type from melee to ranged. I hope I've missed it, but knowing the Dev team I bet it's not even there. I'm not going to be happy if I have to take 2.5x damage from heavy weapons for another **edit** month.
