If they don't get this stuff fixed soon, I will be forced to cancel my account(s). I didn't pay to be a Beta tester.

HAHAHAAHAHA!!!
Read my sig below! This game has been in constant beta testing since day one. If it weren't for the fact that I'm sick of dungeons and dragons style MMO's with freakin elves, dwarves and orcs and fantasy in general, and there are no decent SciFi alternatives, I would have given up a long time ago.
So cancel away.
I for one in my limited try of the CU last night was very pleased. I did not have to get buffed and armored just to take on a few beasties and my pets did extremely well, even in PvP. While some of the bugs were annoying like just standing there getting beat on and not automatically firing back, so far I am pleased with what I see. The whole buff system was retarded to begin with. Heck the original combat system was retarded to begin with.
Search your feelings young jedi. You know it to be true! 
Bye Bye MCH, now MRM/MD (YaY! THANKS TO THE CU, BACK TO BETA TESTING!!)

Use Ctrl plus F-Key of you Fave attack and you should auto attack if attacked! (may have to use it once though ).

Let me be the first one to say...

Nnekk I want to apologize to you. After reading the two posts below I now totally agree with you.
Here is what I wrote in the Starsider forums and to all you peeps out there who do not realize what really has happened
then please read the second link post. It is brilliant, short and to the point as to the one fatal flaw of the CU.
*****************************************************************************************************************************
Well after reading these two posts:
Clicky 1
Clicky 2
(2nd LINK HAS A BRILLIANT WRITEUP ON THE FUNDAMENTAL FLAW OF THE CU)
I am sufficiently P O' d that after almost two years of playing SWG that I am actually contemplating quitting.
I need some real constructive input on the pros and cons of staying. The only thing that I can come up with is JTL, that's it.
I was a CH before the first "Combat Upgrade" nerfed us and our pets. Some of the nerfing was justified. I have been a Master Rifleman and MCH since January 2004 and have really enjoyed my template.
The other night me and a friend got together with some others and our pets to really try out this new CU. I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt. Well I was very disappointed with the results and now I understand why based on the second link noted above.
I also suddenly realized that we CH's have been nerfed again. Our pets are no longer unique individual species. It's all tied to this retarded level system they shoved down our throats. This was proven in using my pets to fight the other night with level 80 or higher mobs.
Now I have already pre-ordered ROW and will call customer service to cancel it. I am also seriously considering cancelling my SWG account. To me the uniqueness of the game has been watered down to become more like EQ2 and other level based retarded systems.
The skill based system was just fine, I was looking forward to some needed combat improvements not this wholesale nerfing and I really feel bad forthe crafters and entertainers. SOE may get some new users, but for us veterans we have put up with WAY TOO MUCH BETA TESTING and then to have this shoved down our throats!!
And the message from SOE president in the first link just added fuel to the fire. The least these peeps should do is give us a free month or free copy of ROW for veterans or something!! Some customer service. How many times do we have to bend over and take it before we say ENOUGH!!
We need to wake up and see what's happened to our game!!
OK, enough ranting on my part. Give me the pros and cons of sticking this one out yet again!!

Hmm, interesting perspective. I have to say that I haven't thought about the level system too much. I am inclined to agree with the acccessment that the level system is causing most of the problems. The only major ammount of hunting I've done is in a full 80 group. It has been the only reasonable advancement I''ve made in the past few days.
I have to agree with TH, the level system is very "tight", maybe to much so. In any case, crafting has taken a nose dive. I originally started SWG a a crafter, so I can understand some of the bitterness over the latest round of changes. Crafting was hard enough before, but the change came late. Crafters have grown accustomed to being able to check their resources on thier own. Now crafter will have to hire/solicit other combat players to help them in this regard. Not exactly a bad thing, but very different from the way things were run for nearly 2 years.

Ok. I'm just sorry to say that I'm not so sure any of the things wrong with this CU will ever be fixed.
