-Raph Koster, Creative Director



So we are an even match for a Storm Trooper. I can work my way up to an elite class so I can finally have a 50/50 shot against the footsoldier of the empire. It's a guy who joined the military and now gets to spend his time patrolling God Forsaken planets of the universe because he so low on the military totem pole. That's my baseline. If I'm the only one that is underwhelmed here please let me know.


Not to mention the fact that the creatures we are an even match for are tameable in the middle of the CH skill line. So what we are saying here is if a CH tamed a TKA he would delete it because all of the other level 30 creatures he had outclass it. Again, I'm not a developer by trade but there seems to be an imbalance here.
