in response to the last post, HAH!More and more people are starting to complain to lucas arts and soe is running scared.Ram it down our throats and claim the complaints are just people getting used to it instead of the star wars name turning to sh**.Shove it through and play dumb while you stuff your pockets and run!!
I really do not believe that is what they are pushing this to live.
Some People are complaining. Some like they system. but almost everyone would have wished that the CU was diffrent then what it became. However it is notasbad as people are making it out to be. PvP is fun there are a few imbalances but on a while it is great. PvE on the other hand needs to be fixed. What it does to some of the crafting professions is horrible and needs to not change.
I do however believe that what i said is true. The Devs are pushing this to live to see how Everyone feels about the changes. Will people hate it? yes, will more people hate it then like it? no one knows that is to be decided. Is the CU here to stay? Most likely but who knows the out cry might change the Devs decition.
Do i like the fact that they are pushing CU to live? No has to many problemsIMO.Do i want the CU to stay? Yes i do actually what it does balances the system alot better then the old and i know alot of people do not want to wait anouther 6 months- A year for there to be anouther CU. Most people are sick of waiting for it. It is a reason they lost alot of people a few months back. We were all waiting for the GCW change and the CU and then they put out 2 jedi fixes back to back followed by the announcement that they were pushing the GCW back and the CU back to sometime next year so that they could release JTL. People have been waiting for something that fixes the major problems since release and now most of the problems are fixed. Just they screwed up PvE in the process but that is more of a tweeking in programing then changing a whole system again.
This game needs more content and if the CU does not go live then we will have to wait even longer for new content.
Also on a side note. How in the world is the current System in place anything like Star Wars. The game is Lossly based off SW lore andthe only thing Star Warsy is Jedi and JTL, but that is about it. in the new system it is more focused around Range Combat which is more Star Warsy then melee centrism that the current system focuses on. Does Melee still have a place on the battle field? yes but it wont be as effective vs a range user as it currently is on live. Do i like the partical effects? Not really i wish they weren't there takes away from SWG feel but i can live with it.

Did the old system need to be fixed-you bet.Is the combat upgrade a good idea in THEORY-again a big yes!BUT they are releasing a bug filled half done product and claiming its the best thing to happen to the game and its not.I like the idea of making it harder and balancing the professions.The nintendo sounds and graphics they need to scrap along with the WOW level system.The CU is nowhere near ready and the majority will hate it.They should have listened and took the time to do it right--a buggy game built with player input could be tolerated but to ram it down our throats shows nothing but desperation,fear and arrogance.I still have hope for a better system but its falling fast

ya really now... this game has never left beta. There has been to much Broken content and Unbalances since release. Hopefully once they fix a few Professions likeSL and Ranger they will start to focus on fixing the Theme Parks and such. However the CU fixes alot of things that werebroken, butmesses up a few things that weren't. But thoughs things can be easly tweeked.
However there still are still a few bugs that Need to get fixed before this goes live. Mainly the ChannelConnect complete bug/shutter that is such an annoying bug.
