I also had good thoughts about the CU.
Right now, wifey and I are planning to close our accounts.. This is ridicioulus lol
I've really tried to adjust myself, trying out tactics etc.. It doesn't work for me.
The CU is one big money-screwer for SOE.

Teras Kasi is screwed... VK's don't work, innate armour seems to be bugged, FoW is crap...
I can go on at least for a week with things that is not good.
Sorry SOE, you've really had a good screw with SWG

Been online on FarStar for sometime, just hanging around in Eisley chatting and dueling others. Tried to kick some Tusken's with TKM. They where level 30ish+ and had no problem with them as tkm lev 80. Took a lill longer than pre CU but they could hardley do eny damage. No food, no spices, no buffs. I like the pace in the CU, dont have to prepare so much. Just log in and go play.
As for the duels i think i won them all, against various professions. Biggest troubles where against ranged with all theyre new tricks. Did quite decent vs Jedi, Jedi Knight took me down pretty easily tho. But seems like we can drain much force from them. (Btw i used psg in about every duel.) Not yet duelled a other Lev 80 TKM.
Seems like having 2 master combat professions is going to be VERY important.
Loves KD recovery
Loves the new combat music
Loves the new sounds.
Loves the abbility to walk around in my clothes and fight, no stupid armor enymore. "note to self: Get some more cool looking outfits"
All my cash saved on armor will now be spent on AA's and CA's with UA stats. (and hopefully the will work)
Loves the new Massassi Knuckler. Dont fight with it tho, but for the looks
Wondering about why i deal more damage without the knucklers?
Really hates the look on the "BlasterFist"
To much graphic in various skills and abillitys tho. "Its a friggin lightshow." Think epileptic people will shutdown from playing swg as it is :/
Some irritating bugs, but hopefully they will fix that fast.
My biggest concern and it is BIG!!! Is the lack of animations. It is very very very dull. Pre CU i used all the different attacks we TKA's have, now there are way to few. "IT IS VERY LAME" lol.
Im pretty much satisfiedd with it, might LOVE it eventually when its all smooth Im gonna take it very slow for 2 weeks now, let them smooth and fix most of the initial troubles and bugs
cheers "Mank" and keep us updated!

Unfortunately I am forced to agree with my Teras Kasi colleagues that have posted before me. We have been grossly under-powered in this combat upgrade. The Teras Kasi is the order that observes and keeps the Jedi in line according toall knownStar Wars mythology. The Teras Kasi professionas it stands in game now, is uninspiring andslow.I dare say, it is seemingly useless outside of a group.
When I first tested on TC I almost felt we had been deliberatelytrounced for our years as a well belanced and high powered profession. It feels like we are gettingpunished for enjoying a long running reign of respect and power amongst the other professions.
I have no doubt that the Teras Kasi should remain an extremely powerful profession. If the devs feels that another profession should be put in its place to equalize the group combat shemethey have envisioned, they should do so. If they feel Teras Kasi should not be easily attainable they should introduce a quest systemon a smaller scale that would enable players to become a Teras Kasi. I would recommend a systemsimilar to the village for the Jedi, but much smaller scale. However... to take this way of life, that is similar to that of a Jedi (its not a profession its a belief) and reduce it to what it currently is, is so far outside of what Star Wars mythologydescribes it as, I would rather see it excluded from the game than put to shame.
The Teras Kasi are a proud group of warriors, we should be rare and prized, almost as much as the Jedi. Thats not my opinion, thats the story of the Teras Kasi plain and simple.

I had a positive attitude when the CU went onto TC, beating my friends that were disrespecting it after only playing for 10 minutes. However, I have to tell you that I'm having a hard time keeping a positive attitude after the CU has went live. I have too many friends tell me that I need to respec my character to BH/something. However, I'm not into the whole FotM thing and wnat to find a way to make TKA work for me.
Some positive things I have to say about the CU:
- For certain, the devs have leveled the playing field. Even Jedi are running scared in a way I have never seen.
- I like the fact that I don't need armor. I feel less encumbered--pun intended. Realistically, it is a free profession. No investment required in expensive weapons and armor.
- I am learning how to complement my "tanking capabilites" with things like my AT-ST and specials from my other profession, which is CM. Using Advanced Leg Sweep followed by Improved Paralyze is extremely effective at taking the opponent out. I found if the opponent is lying on the ground when I attempt to paralyze them, it has a better chance of taking.
- Love the new combat music.
On the downside, I am not seeing the promise of a more tactical, faster paced game with better animations and sound effects. How tactical can you get with a few specials? And is it me, or has the pace of combat slowed to a grinding halt? The animations are silly and look like something out of Saturday morning cartoons. The sound effects.are just plain stupid--they aren't at all realistic and have little to do with...well...anything.
