the following is a clippit from the latest post on our concept thread:




"

This may have been covered in more detail, but my basic idea is as follows:


SL should have:


1.Two skill trees dedicated to all the skills associated with commanding player characters currently in the profession (and more),


2.Onetree dedicated to recruiting (taming) NPCs and programming high level Combat Droids


3. One treededicated to actually controlling/commanding NPCs and CombatDroids in combat.


The two trees described in #2 and #3 would be like CH, which I'm sure has been discussed ad nauseum. But here's somethingI figured out using a profession calc tool:


""""""""""



do these jokers have like....absolutely no freaking clue about this profession and what it means at all?

It is really shocking to see a lot of these new SLs or ones that aren't even SLs want us to turn into full fledged NPC handlers. I saw that post above and that tree system the guy wrote was a complete waste of my time reading that. Lets just keep posting on the forums against this sort of skill tree system and i'm sure the devs will be able to pick out the veteran SLs with heart then the idiots who wanna completely ruin this amazing profession.


NPCs should return, but in the GCW revamp using the rank system, not us. Save it for when they have the GCW revamp thead in a few months ppl.

I dunno, I don't have a problem with a bonus number of Faction pets that could be given to a SL. In fact, I allways wanted to lead a squad of STs when I was first playing Beta. No way in heck I would place a dedicated tree or two towards NPCs, I would do it just like how it handles now... our stuff effects them.



I have a couple of threads started on the matter, no need to re-hash it here.

You know, leading more NPCs could be a decent bonus but not at the expense at all the other BETTER ideas this community has come up with. Maybe in addition to all the good stuff, throw this in one of the trees (1 Novice, 2...3..4 at Master) but absolutely not as the single skill we get.



I posted earlier with my dismay at non-SLs posting weak ideas. But, everyone is entitled to their opinions. Right now I am trusting Dilunes assurances that TH is aware of who posts what, and some of our original posts (and how much the majority of us hate the idea of NPC-handler!)

i wouldnt mind it IN ADDITION to.......even tho i still am adverse to the concept of us being NPC handlers at all.


but you KNOW that the devs would never work it as an extra. They would skip giving us soemhting else so they could fit in controls for NPC's/Droids

I'm just getting worried about whats happening on the concept thead being split 50/50 on this idea that the devs are gonna do something like what happened to the poor DEs.

Man, what scares me (and i posted it on a different thread) is the number of people that want to see SL with Droids and big battle droids and all of that. One thing I have to say is that at least a ST or Commando is a humanoid, not a robot. I /really/ do not see droids and SL's mixing...course I said the same thing about animals.
