I'm just a down-home Southern boy statin' the obvious.

Of course, so was Gene Autry.

And no, I'm not comparing myself to him.

Not sure we know the devs and management of this game. We have seen it before. Unless they have something to keep people hooked they worry.


Hologrind

Cities

JTL

Dungeons

Invasions.


The point with them is they offer you a cookie, to keep you hooked, and then the slip you some crackers smeared with peanut butter. I do not see any pb and crackers lieing about. So exactly how can they bait switch us this time.


My personal oppinion the devs will cave. They are never going to end up parcelling this stuff out in one patch. I am betting a month from now we are going to get a update. AKA a peice of the CU. Whether it be the armor certs or the buff system switched about. They want to steal players back from WOW before they meander over to another game after that. They have to know that alot of accounts are working down towards the wire. After the JTLers got tired of that expansion and cancelled. They have the players that renewed for a month after the CU was delayed, and they do not want to take the chance of loseing them aswell.


My oppinion we will see the first peices of the CU in the game in a month. It might take till summer to get the whole thing, but I am willing to bet we will get peices of it.

  • Make ranged combat more interesting and important - we are working to extend combat range.
  • Prevent ability to make one’s self immune to range damage - No more unbeatable stacker templates.
  • New ranged weapons – more blasters, more blasters!






85% saber block will still render ranged combat ineffective and the village is still grinding out Jedi 10 to the dozen. Jedi still dictate terms in p v p and have effectively killed what little remained of the GCW as the roll around in their deathsquads. The CU won't change anything other than reduce regular combat profs to even more cannon foder for the knight gank crews rolling around the galaxies. THis is a reality and I don't think much if any of what you are proposing to do will fix this.


Guess we will have to wait and see, but I can almost asure you that if Jedi Knight deathsquads remain unchecked rolling through the galaxy killing off P v P and the GCW as they cut through swathes of "army regulars" you are gonna lose even more customers most of which are your proper starwars fans who should be your bread and butter playerbase, but they will leave out of sheer disgust at the inability of the dev team to address this issue.









If ranged combat being brought back from the dead, maybe we can count on bounty hunters being a bit more effective at keeping Jedi discreet

Understood. I can keep it under wraps. Just lemme know if its ever okay, 'cause while I won't just go to around posting said info, I do feel that Smugglers should know that they will have a role in combat.

So, untill I'm told its alright to post this without fear of reprimand or sterner consequence, it will remain closely guarded. On my honor as a true Smuggler.






Can you transfer that link to my Swiss account? I assure you they take every step possible to protect each customer's identity.

Am I the only one who thinks that this is the perfect period of time to just do everything in the game you've ever wanted to do but haven't? It's kind of a dead zone, we know sweeping changes are coming, but we know it's not gonna be for several months.

I for one have been playing with different profs like a madman, even going back to an old pvp template I had.
