TH posted this on the development forum earlier this evening. It's worth checking out for anyone who may not have read it yet.

Sounds good... Kind of.

It sounds like in a couple of months, this will be an entirely new and different game.

*floats this thread*

personally i like the sounds of what was said in that post.

Yeah it sounds great, but it also sounds like i'll probably die of old age before it ever gets implemented.

Revamping the entire combat system will take a while.. not to mention all the months of balancing that have to follow..

I guess its a good thing though.

wel....!

its sad that we get so LITTLE defence when TKA, Fencher get sow **edit** mutch!!

We need more rangde and melee def!

TKA gets +62 Melee Defense +45 Ranged Defense, and we gets+20 Melee Defense and +15 Ranged Defense!

do you agree whit me on this?

Well since creatures are getting a huge change and we are the expert dataholders on creatures... I think that might keep me holding on to master ranger a little bit longer... but I will have to be a little more convencing when I try to tell commandos and pistoleers that the creature has medium armor and is 90% special protection to heat/acid... right now most of them think they are to god like to care. Specially considering pistols usually don't have armor peirce.. and commandos rely to much on burn.. **edit** xp hogs

Sounds pretty good, I think. But why don't they focus on current classes that just don't work.

How many Master droid engineers do you see? I haven't seen a single one. And if I do I think I will walk up to them and slap them silly, because the player should have picked something that was of any worth in the game. I mean, I really haven't seen many droids in the game either other than pets that someone thinks makes them look cool. And maybe one doc who has a med droid with them so they can heal outside the medcenter.

I mean, the combat professions can do things in the game. Weapon/armorsmiths and some other crafters can do things in the game. But is seems there are some professions in the game that are just useless right not. I haven't seen a squad leader in the game yet also. I'm sure there are a few somewhere, but where?

The Dev's stated a couple times that after the new CH changes go live that DE's will be getting a major facelift. The CH changes should be on live by next week so hopefully the work on the combat system won't hinder the DE revamp.

Call me skeptical, but I'll believe it when I see it. So far there's been few "Positive" changes and a whole slew of NERFs.

"but I will have to be a little more convencing when I try to tell commandos and pistoleers that the creature has medium armor and is 90% special protection to heat/acid"

Not to be picky, but pistoleers do have an armour piercing pistol. The DX2 is AP1.

yeah and so do republic blasters. it says i'm not certed on the gun but i am on the weapon certs in my skill screan. and when i pull my out i never get the mesage that says i am not certed for this gun. it's a really great gun. and melee is certed for it. i don't know but i think you need to be a rebel to use one. can someonedeny that only rebs can use them or can everyone use them.

several problems

posture down will be useless

you have to be able to special rigth after a posture down

if you run away after a special it won't matter at all.
