FIX THE SPECIALS

Low Blow doesn't KD.


Panic Shot gives a -15 speed modifier to enemies, WTH?


Where is the mez in Concussion Shot?


Restraining Shot doesn't seem like much of a snare at all!

Then I am curious how are we supposed to get sense XP for those of us trying to finish out the luck tree.

Well, as to the vaugeness of the answers, the team did have a fair few questions to answer (multiply the number of correspondents by 3 and you've got a fair few questions/answers that all have to go through channels etc.).


I have commented on each response and am hoping/waiting for a response in kind. I'll let you know as soon as I receive one .

Nice! I hope they know the urgency we feel about getting our specials fixed.

Hey Zane, like your new sig. lol

Honest, the yellow ribbon sigs are just too numerous right now, I was telling a PA mate yesterday that I was seriously thinking about making a sig to mock that phenomenom, but I saw a few did already, beating me to it. lol





Thanks.


It was really a personal thing for me. Sometimes people really don't realise the history of something before they go plastering it everywhere.


As for connecting it to the CU... well that was just a laugh to me really.





"Jedi claims of being "broken" are like saying "But my TV isn't widescreen! It's broken! My TV can't show high-def pictures in 1080i, it can only do 720i! It's broken!" Meanwhile, crafters are saying "We'd really like to have a TV that's larger than 12" and gets more than 4 channels and doesn't constantly lose vertical control", and entertainers are saying "Can we get some color instead of this B&W piece of junk?" And smugglers? We're listening to radio programs of "The Shadow" and "The Abbot and Costello Comedy Hour" and hearing FDR's Fireside Chats. We don't even HAVE a damn TV, much less a broken one or a "broken" one by Jedi standards. I'd LOVE to be as "broken" as they are." - The Legendary Solo4114

Coming from a person having a Major as a grandfather, a brother and brother-in-law as a pilot in the army, another brother-in-law in the army, a sister in the National Guard, a stepfather retired from the army, and a father who was in training to pilot in the Vietnam war but was never shipped because the war ended, I think I can say that I wishfora ribbon to support politicians and business leaders who put in their fair share of trying to nuture peace as well.


I believe that 90% of the problems that occur in the world are done so through the mechanisms existing in the political and economic world. I'm not saying that politicians and corporations suck. I am sure they are doing everything they can to make sure the world moves smoothly.

I really don't feel like a 5 in crowd control. That could be because some specials are broken/underpowered or I don't know how to use them yet, but the only one that seems useful so far is Concussion Shot. It's a very nice single special, but one move does not a 5 in crowd control make.

As far as damage goes, Reckless Shot seems to be good, but it leaves you with a hefty penalty to defense. If that's how they want to balance our 1 defense, that's cool, but it's kind of unfortunate that our best (and still modest) damage dealer has to come with a debuff to ourselves.

I'm also sad to see slicing and spice xp go. I really hope 1-2 of our lines end up using some sort of smuggling experience, as this whole pistol xp for everything deal is rather bland.

any word on if we sliced armour above maximums will it be reverted? I spent alot on faction armour and I do not see the point into being able to make something too awesome to the point of being mathematically imposible to use in the system

Slicing exp HAS NOT been completely removed. you still get 100 slicing exp for slicing Terms(I was doing this just earlier). And I might add, that slicing Terms...is well worth the effort, you can get a 40-50% increase in payout. Now to get that applied to BH terms

Make our Crowd Control abilities inherently AOE, and then we can talk about being a '5'.
