Squad Leader Archive

Yeah.. what a wonderful idea, lets open up for NPC's to replace PC's.

SL is just the beginning. Honestly, I REALLY want to play politician, but since I have the social habits of a pregnanthutt Ican't seem to find any willingcitizens. Hence: NPC citizens. They will vote for me, cherish me, love me.

Then I can sit out in the middle of the desert in my shack town and feel like a king as the obedient silent NPC's worship me like a sun god on the darkside ofdathomir.

All of the abovewas sarcasm btw.

Squad Leader is a chosen profession, for those either fitor otherwise inclined to lead groups on a regular basis, enhancing them through your own sacrifice some would say.

This is a Massively Multiplayer Online RolePlaing Game, and there are hence several profession to create diversity.

You have your defensive doctors, your offensive medics, your fast, hardhitting or just nimble melees, you have the equivalent marksmen, you have miscellaneous noncombat professions and you have the squad leaders; the paladins of SWG.

Not everyone are fit to be them, just as not everyone is fit for crafting. Yet some still love the latter, some even the first

The mere notion that our, I sayour because I am a SL at heart, profession will get a revamp with your kind of idea as a significant basis isfrustrating to say the least; to have the above all others partyprofession descend into another toy for the soloplayers.. Mind you, this revamp is coming AFTER combat balance, from when on the way players participate will be lightyears from what they do now, if rumours are to be trusted..

Gaah, it would just be such an UTTER waste of skillpoints as opposed to more PLAYERfriendly skills and a refurbishing of the old. It would suffocate the profession at its soul.

Thanks, rant over!
