"People are wondering what will happen to Afghanistan when were finished fighting there. Im sure there are plans to rebuild the country, and a lot of times with rebuilding comes a name change. These are some possible name changes the government has been mulling over: Halfghanistan, Pothole-istan, Jenniferanistan, @ssbackwardstan, Bye-bye-Talibanstan, @ss-Kicked-istan."

Anyone ever notice how the Correspondents for these revamped professions never seem to be online the day of these announcements are made?

Let me start by first off saying that I am a smuggler/SL RIGHT NOW, and have been for the last 6 months. So I have an interesting perspective on the changes as well as the discusion.
Secondly, let me congratulate all the long time squad leaders who have been playing it from the start, just as I have smuggler. You have stuck it out and have been rewarded.
I have to say I am so happy right now I actually drew a few tears. I'm serious. Does anyone understand what this change means to the game? Squad leaders are on of the LEAST played proffesions and they are getting (practicaly) a full revamp. If trends continue, it will be the best thing for this game in a long time, instead of how they have been, with jedi getting most of the fixes/revamps/upgrades (you notice in the astromech stats they broke up all the different masters, but jedi on the whole is most likly the most played proffesion)
Secondly, I play a squad leader, so I am happy for myself as well as my guild. We have a lot of good times ahead of us taking on things never before considered. DWB anyone?
And lastly, but certainly not least, this give smugglers the hope we have content comming and WILL be fixed sometime.

after looking through the entire tree - Sls no longer have any passives.

No terrain negotiation as a skill or as a passive

no defense buffs (other then commands)


All abilities are now command based

Charge is interesting

Retreat is really retreat


2nd chance is going to be nice... is boost morale the way we always dreamed it should be

boost morale is a group buff that gives +10% to action and mind regen now



a few notes:

group buffs such as blaze of glory etc are a toggle - that means only one group buff can be in effect at a time. They are on a timer (30mins) but if you want to switch to the armor enhancerfromthe damage enhancer the damage enhance skill will turn off and the armor one will turn on.


buffs can be currently applied to people in group (including group enhancers) and if the person drops all effects are still on that person until the timers run out (This I am sure is a bug... no need for SL bots)

I have a question. Can any of these single-target buffs be applied on the SL himself?
I.E. I'm M-Rifleman and usually the only SL in a group so I can usually pop off some high dmg specials that put hate on me. So is it possible, for example, to apply the less-aggro buff onto myself?
Not to sound selfish or anything,just curious if we can apply them to ourselves.

**EDIT**
After hearing about the SL revamp,I have one thing to say.
What was today's Friday Feature about? This news is so big it could've been the Friday Feature in its own right, and easily overshadowed the Friday Feature.

Holy cow. This single-handedly has rekindled my interest in this game.

Okay to discuss this among us I posted my issues here :

Darth Sushis thread

/poke Darth Sushi


Lets collect our issus and concerns as well in that thread as well as repost and copy them in the squadleader focus thread to keep things streamlined and easy to read for the DEVs.

They need our input (my main issues is the mutliple squadleader thing but see my squadleader vs paladin issue in that thread).

/sal to everyone here

Retreat! (Mobility III) - Significantly enhances group movement speed for a short duration. Prevents all other combat actions.

Charge! (Mobility IV) - Significantly enhances group movement speed for a short duration. Places the Squad Leader at heightened risk by reducing their defenses.

Okay wait a second...couldn't this have been one ability? We already use /retreat as a charge in some cases.
