Yeah, I agree with you completely. My favorite part is seeing the people who have been screaming for a Combat Upgrade for the past year and a half now scream that it's too late and we should keep the current system. On the plus, side, though, this proves incontravertably that the Whiney Masses are absurdly stupid.
Ya the CU stuff looks really amazing. I'm kinda wondering a bit about the 1 bar health thing now. I'm hoping you can still hit the other pools so they have less points to use on specials. The wind up and cooldown thing will be good if used right. If they make 75% of specials with this then it will suck, it should be like 35%. Powerful attacks and abilities like /aim should only require these.
People screaming in there seem to forget that we are getting new weapons, new armors (including faction), making the older armors appear more. Buffs won't be needed as much, which is a plus cause they do ruin this game. I see a lot in that doc which is what ppl have requested for over the life of this game. We are getting new icons in colour for specials and a update to the UI, and that rocks cause I don't like the look of it anymore, seems dated.
I'll be happy when this hits, ppl will be on a level playing field and it will now take certain tactics with skills to overcome your enemy, instead of super armor and strength.

Well for the combat side of the CU I'm rather excited to see what happens but there are a few people upset over it because some professions seem to be becoming useless from it. Namely any of the entertainer professions. I know I'm not changing my char due to this change but I am a Master Dancer/Master Smuggler.
but if you read the notes out already it is effecting more then just combat. No mind wounds and a nerf of buffs(including mind buffs). The removal of Stat Migration for the IDs. This is already causing alot of dancers to be concearned. I am interested in the combat side due to SMuggler which is my income but dancer is a favored prof of mine and don't want to see that become frivilous either.

erm... it's a COMBAT upgrade...
a giant dance of death would be nice tho lol
The Entertainers concerns are the mind wounds. Take a look at the document, except healthwounds all other wounds get thrown away. I for one expect BF to happen more than usall. Not just because armour will protect less.
