We've all played older MMORPGs...and everytime a major combat revamp such that we're facing happens many things happen...


The game crashes and falls...(Earth and Beyond, UO [when split into Trammel and Felucca] lost lots of people there)


Or the game surges ahead (DAoC/EQ)


What are any of you worried/concerned/excited over? I'm happy Rifleman will no longer be the end-all-be all of PvP. Shoot BH on Eclipse are Mastering Rifleman and doing BH Investigation IV to hunt Jedi, they kill easier with rifles than as a MBH.



I think the new HAM system is interesting...but they wanna devalue specials, which will make combat more interesting...but I'm not sure what they mean by saying mind damage is being changed.


Thoughts? Comments? Discuss!

My only worry/concern is specials. If combat is reduced to TAB, ~, 1, wait, repeat where's the fun in that? If they could find a way to make spamming a single special not worth it and increase variation in specials I'd be a very, very happy camper. Combat, to me, has always been more fun when it's tactical, instead of point-and-spam or point-and-wait. Sure, tactics can and do play a large role in combat in SWG, but I'd like to see specials included in the tactical decision making, instead of just movement as is generally the case.

Most of the universe's problems can be solved by the application of a brick to the side of the right head.
The problem is if you don't have a big enough brick or can't find the right head. The devil is in the details.

i think it's going to let us down


i think its going to accidently make one or two professions uber by mistake and the devs won't fix it for months


i think that if they don't nerf cms i won't play much



i have very low expectations.
