Ok, contrary to what you may have heard, the CU does NOT suck. It only sucks for people who are too stupid and stubborn to adapt to change and just stick with it. Personally I'm still able to kill a lot of things solo with a BH/Pistoleer template. But the fact of the matter is you SHOULD need a shitload of people to kill 350k HAM mobs. You SHOULD NOT be able to solo them within minutes. So for people who played other RPGs other than SWG (such as RO, Knight Online, and possibly even WoW where you need to group up to kill hard things), the CU is really nothing surprising.Hmm...There's nothing fucking new about the CU. All they did was limit spamming of specials. There's no new attack animations, and you essentially can't "auto-attack" anymore. The same piece of shit combat system with a pretty new package around it. I'm gonna enjoy the time that I have left while combat is still fun on live. :shock:If you played SWG for more than a week you'd realize that he's not contradicting himself.Actually I played SWG for a little more than a month WAY before you picked up the game. :PI picked up the game a week after it came out. I switched from Starsider to Radiant in October because of Cypher.I picked it up 3 or 4 days after it came out. 8)

I'm quite aware of what I posted in the other thread. The difference between then and now is that everyone (and I stress EVERYONE) hated the CU when it was on Test Center, simply because we all jumped to conclusions that we would all be nerfed into oblivion. Now that it's on live, it just somehow feels more right than on TC.

CoH is so last...... year.
They called him Pre. The man who ran like fire every day, every race, wire to wire. The man who caused people to stop and say, I've never seen anyone run like that before. A runner who never paced himself, slowed down or quit. But Pre wasn't a runner.

Dai, your focusing on one single thing, and thats PvP atm with the abilty to respec your template into a completely new master template. For instance, my Jedi. I use about 99% of my force on 2 creatures right now with my 10 force cost 700 max dmg saber. With my wookie Swords/Armorsmith (hes CL54) I tried doing a few missions, I get pwned by cl55 quenkers. Its not all about PvP, what about the people who need to lvl! That, and the fact that crafters get one hit killed by cl5+ things because they are CL1.... poor crafters have no love at all. How do you expect to travel around as a crafter at cl1 and not get a 54k dmg hit from a cl40 quenker :( Ah sorry, Im ranting right now. Probabally because the game Ive played for the past...around 2 years... has gone to crap (mostly.) The only fun thing atm is hunting Jedi. Really... and take this from a guy who has atleast 5 characters, tried Jedi, Swordsman, Pikeman, TKA, Carbineer, Rifleman, MBH, Smugglar, Pistoleer, and the works for post CU. Its ugly right now, and the ugly is near unbearable.

hmm, i still say galaxies sucks, because what really did the combat upgrade do to make things better for the players? Nothing. It just added a bunch of pretty new useless and shitty weapons to the already gayed up weapon arsenal, some quests that are more boring than playing on a counter strike server with nobody in it, higher difficulty, and some lame ass new features that nobody cares about. Everyone should play wow, the pvp honor system was actually cool, much better than the CU. I imagine that soon there will be major quest updates with new zones and a raised level limit in a future patch, or in the upcomming expansion pack, that will most likely add twice the amount of content that wow already contains.

Hate the game as much as you want, but you must never forget the enjoyed moments. One sad end does not ruin a decent experience totally.
