My 2 cents on the CU...

[Shadowpaw]

This game has been ruined for me...

With no combat queue you have to keep double clicking to attack, or use specials. If you don't give an attack command, you sit there like a moron...

I try to heal myself and I heal for 50 health, and I have to wait like 2 full minutes before I can do it again...

A Skaak Tipper with a combat level of 4 almost killed me with a combat level of 23...

A Canyon Corsair killed me in one shot, incap and DB together, while I was driving by with armor on...

I'm so pissed that I pre-ordered the expansion right now, because if I hadn't I would be done forever.

I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade, if you like it, more power to ya. But I am sorely, SORELY disappointed that my favorite game of all time has just been ruined for me...

Just thought I'd let people know...

Come on, people! Give it a chance! It usually takes about 2 weeks to adjust to change this complex. Believe me, I know...been doing this type of change my whole life. It is NEVER as bad as it looks at first! And frequently, it is better...

I am going to keep playing for a while. Simply because I EXPECT things to get fixed. Teras Kasi, needs to be fixed amongst a ton of other things. If they don't fix certain things or the final answer becomes "no" on issues that I feel are critical - SOE will certainly not have my business anymore.

So yes, give it a chance. But if you really want to get through to them after they decidedly not fix something.. Well... You know what they say: Money talks, bull^*&# walks.

In the mean time, I won't be playing much. Out of personal preference I am not going to be a willing beta tester outside of TC. As a developer myself I do that enough before I get home from work. By the time I log in to galaxies I am ready for a break from broken software.

I've been one of the proud supporters of this CU since I first heard about it... and bam. 1 hour, and I've become a very angry person.

Being level 60 (yah I screwed up by dropping doctor pre-cu and now have 62 points unused) I have to fight level 60 things to get exp for unarmed 1.

Does this make any sense?
Not only that... A Master Carbineer can absolutely school me as a master swordsman when we start fighting 1 meter apart. Why? Because all the swordsman weapons have been ridiculously nerfed. I have a hammer that say the damage is 500-1100. My average damage per attack - 454?
WTF!?

I'm sorry, but if this doesn't get fixed really quickly... I'm out.

Parade Ruiner.

I gotta say, give it a little bit of time folks. It will improve.

My combat rating was 66, HAM (or whatever) was at 2600ish right at startup. My skill set? Master pike and CH 3313. I had some medic and one tree extra in brawler, but that was it as far as combat is concerned. Not very extensive at all (considering CH gives you absolutely zero to combat effectiveness). But I still enjoyed killing things.

And truth be told, the only differences I noticed in combat were cosmetic. I got aggroed by a handful of thugs in Espa (combat level 4) and I smote them all as easily as I did last week...AND with a little more panache. And the new rocket launcher looks bad ass.

Some of the professions are still pretty decent to play, for some the CU should be a reason to be very happy. However one man's gain is another man's loss. If I hadn't spent the last year and a half establishing Jabe as a Teras Kasi Artist, by profession, family history and other storylines I would pack my bags and do something else.

In other words, if I wasn't committed to my current RP, hence my profession, I would probably do what I did when I was a newb: avoid broken professions (*cough* smuggler).

hey jabe i bet if you search other combat profs for specials and just do them unarmed you will "find" old animations. for example the teras kasi moves arent doing that much damage(nor looking very cool), but when I do pike moves unarmed(no knuckler) i was doing damage in the 999+ range. on that same note, spin attack is now exclusively pike, but when executed unarmed its the same animation as spinattack2 was for teras, when used with pike its the same as spinattack2 was for pike...maybe the better teras animations are hiding in Heavysword or fencer?

As the wave of the CU knocked thousands of people to their knees I kept walking like it never happend and I like the system because I am use to it.

No one is going to rain on my parade about this unless they leave. I am 100% not affected by this CU.

Well i dont post much but ill tell ya I have heard nothing good about this they did this test for a long time and still they rolled out this mess whats up with that they should not have to fix there mess it should have been fixed in the test and coppied over here.

I for one have canceled my online download of the expansion cause if they dont fix it within a week or two I am done and so is about 15 people that I know personally.

I counted and in just my few friends that play constant they are going to loose 27 accounts if they dont fix this feaking mess.

Tell me what prof is decent to play I have one friend that tryed them all in a ton of differnt combanations and he says its impossible to take 2 hurton on at the same time solo and live thats just bull shit

I also watched tonight a jedi almost get waxed by a queaker thats just wrong.

All i can say is i sure hope it gets better and fast

Interesting to note. I will probably respec and play with Pike as I have found not much I like bout swordsman right now.

Unfortunately some of us have actually mastered multiple elite combat professions and are accomplished players.

Now I am sad. Any danceing Trando's make me wanna cry.

[Novall]

I just wanna say that I think the DEVs ramed us one right up the pooper. I /respeced to lvl 80 right off. No biggie, I was prepared for it. What totally pisses me off though is all the background shit they've done. Like conversions going bad and all your armor enhancements going to 0%, or ADK's not working with armor now...so my new mando helmet is gonna be lucky to see combat.

Various other little ins and outs, but I really think the DEV's of SWG are short bus rejects. Honestly, their collective IQ is probably somewhere slightly above mayo.
