"When Sony and Lucas set out, we said, How can we do this and not make another EQ? We didn't want it to be all about Luke, or combat, or lock our players into a class. So we created a system that would allow players to switch professions during the game, and there would be a lot of gameplay around making that change. If you want to go from architect to scout we've created a system to make that happen."

Well if FD was any kind of fiasco, i blame the devs for it, they did the code not the jedi.


jedi didnt shout about it, bounty hunters did, and other gcw players that came across people that used FD on them.


I dont really minf FD taken out of the pvp game, what gets to my nerve is that they find time for this and not to fix other essential things that could make smuggler more interesting.


this bug didnt hurt us much devs there are a LOT of other things that need your attention way before you spend valuable smuggler time to help out the bounty hunters.

I blame Jedi, bounty hunters and the devs taking the easy way out. I've explained my reasonings many a time but people just can't to seem to get it into their heads.


Jedi Abused a skill when what they should have been doing was staying off the terminals.

Bounty Hunters whined about it

Smugglers produced constructive ideas unlike the "two shots and your dead" and"lets just move it to master screw smugglers leveling pistols with no pistol mods past pistol IV"

Smugglers get Nerfed and take the second useless special off their toolbar.

Jedi move on to a new expolite or abilitiy to abuse.

Bounty hunters forget about fiegn death and complain once more about jedi.

Yes, but the magnitude of blame toward players is getting old.


Read my above first post, that is whom you should blame.



1) Nerfed by the CU - Annoyed

2) SWG destroyed by the NGE - Pisssed

3) Cancellation to nerf the dev's pay check, priceless!!

I will blame Jedi and BH for Feign Death being nerfed to the point of uselessness. Both of these professions are, to me, equal in their abuse of and complaints about our skill. BH and Jedi have shown themselves, as a group, to have total disregard for any other profession or players in the game. Why do I say this? Two words:


Fight Club.


Not only are they willing to exploit and abuse other profession’s skills, but they are willing to pervert one of the central themes of the game: BH v. Jedi. They have shown themselves perfectly willing to work with their sworn enemies when it suits them, but still whine and moan when one of our skills can be misused by/against them.


Until these 133t little babies grow up and start playing the game rather than as a means to wave their ____s around, I’ll have no respect for either profession. If you belong to one of these professions and don’t like what I have to say, then so something about it: ban the fight clubs and start RPing – and do something about the others in your profession.

Do me a favor and explain to me why Jedi NEED this skill? They need to skulk around and avoid visibility. They need to take their time and grind their templates smartly. They USED this skill to avoid it. Not only that, but show me one skill in that their trees at low level that are less powerful than anything the Smuggler tree has.



"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

Well. I refuse to be in the fight clubs. But us doing something about it is like you trying to do something about it. People that do these things don't listen when the devs have ok'd the fight clubs.



And I gave you a 5 star to even you out. You are definitely entitled to your opinion.

Jedi are to blame here, but they're not the only ones. While they're not responsible for a irresponsible "fix" to the problem, they are heavily responsible for abusing the skill and creating the problem in the first place.

I still blame whomever made this call most--they took an easy way out of solving a problem their own gam design created, punishing the wrong people. The solution to this was absolutely not to nerf feign death into oblivion, and call it a fix, it was to eliminate the situation by which feign death could be abused, or give it some kind of counter.

Gang,


I feel for you on this FD fiasco. However, the right blame needs to be squarely on the dev's.. NOt the BH's, not the jedi, not the little guy in pvp that never wants to lose his stupid rating.. the devs.


Jedi need FD because BH's that are more tkm/fencer with just enough to get missions are running amock on every server. These unbalanced stackers are ganking noob jedi by the hords, and are way over powered to a new jedi. The Dev's should have made the ability to take out jedi mission to master BH only. But nope, they make it as easily accessible as your FD.


We are ALL being punished by people whom never had the forsight to begin with, to make sensible choices.


Blame the dev's and point the finger squarely where it needs to be . Not the players.



1) Nerfed by the CU - Annoyed

2) SWG destroyed by the NGE - Pisssed

3) Cancellation to nerf the dev's pay check, priceless!!

Yep this is true. In fact when you really sit back an look at it most Nerfs are because of dabbling. In this case it was just the combined dabbling of Jedi intoSmuggler an most everyone else into Investigation 3. Hell even some BH's were using it to keep from ever failing a mission against a Jedi.
