Hi everyone.. i have been away on vacation for 3 weeks and so i have missed a LOT it seems..

Can people answer some of my questions pls

1. TKM's can't now wear armour!! What The @ !! why is this pls.. whos stupid idea was that

Have you tried doing 7 Roundhouse kicks whilst wearing a suit of Plate Mail? I'll be damned if anyone can strike and doge effectively with such a massive suit weighing them down.

Whose stupid idea was that? We asked for it. Martial Arts don't usually train you in combat with armour, and rightly so - they weren't intended to.

2. I understand that we are now designed to be more defensive than offensive.. but again without armour??

TIA.

3. IF you are not a dual combat TKM / ?? then i understand that you will not have the benifit of the increased 3k ham (or thereabouts) so again how effective would a TKM in this situation be??

Singular TKM would probably have approx 1.5k HAM then, unless the secondary combat profession provides less of a increase than the primary. A complete combat template would be circa 3K.

4. I am getting the impression that SOE are forcing players to play in groups.. that is fine.. however, how do they intend to cater for people that play in different time zones.. i play on bloodfin (USA) but live in the UK.. therefore there is AT LEAST a 5 hour time difference there.. upto now there has not been a major problem as i go on guild hunts at weekends but i am able to play taking on lower level creatures.. i'm talking pickets here folks... not Kimos/Krayts..

so my question is if the ham system is such that i have around 1500 ham without armour, SOE are basically expecting me to be restricted to Grondas for example when i cant play with others... which basically means that my FS grind will now potentially take at least twice if not three times as long as it does now... and its long enough as it is!!!

Umm, no. Grondas aren't going to hit you for 900 damage.

/PersonalRant I happen to like SWG the way it is... every time i read or hear something new about this infernal CURB i just get a sinking feeling... it is basically shaping up to NOT be the game that i love and that i started playing for... am i alone in this??

Nope, some feel the same way. If you do, I suggest you look for something else. I doubt SOE are going to turn around and cancel the CU after all the work and expectations of it. I'm personally slightly pro - CU. I don't like the idea of Robotic Sword/Rifle/Doc Krayt - soloing Cyborgs.

that SOE is FORCING this upon us, without apparent widescale support or consultation AND without telling us whats happening, just letting things leak, letting the rumour mill do its thing..

Most of the community was pro - CU when the idea was announced. They're not forcing anything upon you - they're catering to the customers. They have told you things - the CU Docs, TC 5, it's all a work in progress. They can't state things which don't exist. They've told us all they can at this current moment.

Sure there are some things in the game that need tweaking, but this TOTAL wholescale change is really not filling me with any warm feelings...am i alone in the wilderness on this? please? anyone?Echo.... Echooooooo................/stopPersonalRant

Like I suggested earlier - if you don't like the changes, hold out for confirmation or leave. I can't see the CURB turning back on itself at all.

ITS ALL TOO MUCH FOR ME

Have a drink.

Thanks for your patience guys and gals
