Squad Leader Archive

I was just looking on the Developer forums, and someone brought up a question about the new CH changes they're working on.

http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/11/06/058249&mode=thread&tid=106&tid=185

Since they're reworking the entire tree, it seems as though all CH's are going to be effectively "erased" and going to have to regain XP & retrain from scratch. Am I reading this right? or do I need more morning caffiene.


If this is true, then maybe I shouldn't be working on leveling Squad Leader right now, if they're just gonna remove all my skills in a month anyway if they rework it.

that link has nothing to do with SWG.......

any way CH do seem to be getting a little bit of a nerf in the near future but hey, this is SW and not Pet wars... i have a CH char and im not completly against these changes.

basicaly if you want to master CH then your probably ok to stick with CH. but if you just want to train the left two skill trees to get the best pets in the game, then you might want to drop CH because the nerf will cut the level of pets you can use.

wait... i might be reading your question incorrectly......? any way you should probably post this on the CH forum, they would be able to help you better then we can, we have our own issues to worry about and a CH nerf is the least of our worries right now

Sorry, My cut-n-paste skills are a little off on windows machine. Gotten too used to linux.

My real question was that it looks like after they rework CH, they plan on taking automatically surrendering everyone's CH skills and making them retrain. Is that right?

And if it is, will they do the same thing for our hard-earned SL skills?

thats a very good question....i read over the post and it looks like CH are going to have to retrain all of their skills, which is going to suck big time.

it doesnt really make much sence to me why they would do this, unless it has something to do with causing bugs with the new skills after changes are made.

well i'll say one thing right now, if the DEVs ever do revamp our skill tree the very least they can do is let us keep our hard earned Skill boxes. after all these months of training and suffering through a profession with absolutly no useful skills they honestly cant expect us to have to retrain everything all over again, can they?

I didn't get the "start from xp scratch" like you did. If you could point us the passage where it says that I'd appreciate it. As far as I can tell, the only mention to the xp is that the "dabblers" that were abusing the first two columns will now be virtually FOOOK'D, and that skill points/xp points used/gained will not be given back, they will have to be re-earned. Not a big deal for someone that is going to master ch, big deal for some boner that is just dabbling.

If this is the same way they're going to revamp sl, I seriously doubt you'd have a problem. HONESTLY, how many Squad Leader "dabblers" do you see... OMG thats funny shat!!!
