does someone really know what are they going to nerf our wepon our skills what?

- As I see it, Sony has until July 31st 2004 to pull content, balance and most importantly "fun" out of a hat and into the game for me. I guess I can list "buying a non-refundable year's subscription" down as one of the dumbest decisions made in my life. Congradulations SoE, you took 200 bucks from me. -

The SWG cycle:
1 - "This game is AWSOME"
2 - "Oh MAN! That battle was AMAZING!"
3 - "I'm really getting sick of this grinding, but I'm almost there!"
4 - "I swear if that bug happens again, I'm quiting!"
5 - "Oh screw this! I'm quiting"
6 - Repeat from step 1

I think it would be cool if they geared this profession more towards the sniper, yeah... A lot of people didn't have the patience for it, but I've always loved being a sniper (well, Infantry and PS are my only examples.. CS too fast paced for sniping IMO). We should be silent and kill quickly.. But when detected, we should be absolutely. Completely. Useless. And it will actually take brains to play the class...

On the PvE side of things, I think it's good the way it is now. I mean, it sort of sucks to be attacking the Mind Pool when everyone else in your group is attacking the Health Pool... And if you try to attack it too, you get far less experience (unless you are a higher-tier rifleman, or also found out that Suppression Fire does sturdy, decent damage at 30m to mostly Health.. Move a few meters away though, and it sucks). But on the up-side, we can solo pretty well (I shouldn't make comparisons since I'm still really a newb... But I'm proud of the fact that I can solo reds, and the only equipment I'm using is my brain and a little ingenious tactics). There should be dire consequences for when a rifleman gets in close-range, and they should understandably have to practice a melee profession or another ranged discipline.

Actually, I take that all back. They should *completely* revamp SWG's PvP aspect.. Remake every single combat-related profession, give crafters uses on the battlefields, give rewards/objectives, etc. DAoC has done an amazingly good job. That is the most solid MMO out on the market so far, with a good balance of everything... UO is still good, but it sucks in comparison to what it used to be.

Okay, I'm in a rant mood now, too. What is up with everyone in SWG soloing, 100% of the time? That's not very fun to me... And it sucks, because it's impossible to find groups, even on Dathomir/Dantooine. And I can't make groups myself, because I'm still just a newb........

Okay, that's what the Devs should do: completely revamp PvP, the GCW, and completely mess with the way groups work. That's a *big* list of things needed to do...

And on another note. People: stop dissing, putting down, insulting the Devs or any other thing. They have a job, they're doing it far better than you could, and like any other person they deserve some respect. How would you like it if when you woke up every morning, you got 100 e-mails saying that people hated you? Went to the mailbox, same deal. And then the players you are trying so hard to satisfy, are just dissing you over and over again... "STUPID Devs have done it again" "omg i hate the devs" "devs suck fire them" Please stop.
