End of the Galaxies...? - First impression of CU

Well, the "Combat Downgrade", as some call it, is finally here! I went into town in Mining Outpost on Dantooin, the normally busy spaceport is deserted, only a handful brave people were arounding wondering aimlessly, looking discussed and confused, nobody 's in any particular good mood. Event the cantina is devoid of the usual entertainers ... my favorate ones are not there any more...

I'm still TKM and Command, BUT ... I can't no longer use my Flamethrowers. Heavy weapons are harder to come by before, now, it's even harder to find a weapon I can use! I'm weaponless as of now, how am I supposed to practice and reach Master Commando?! I wouldn't mind if it does less damages or whatever change... but, I can't even equip the damn thing now. WTF! All the Flamethrowers I bought to grind out to Master are now useless to me.

The combat is supposed to be faster paced and more engaging, it's not so. I killed a Piket, and it took me minutes to just kill a single that's suggest as even level to me. Also witnessed a few dueling in MO, they're just stand there, fight each other every a few seconds ... they call it fast?! However, I did notice I'm hit less frequent. On the other hand, I hit less frequent as well ...

Am not saying this is the end, but, you be the judge ... The Holonet forums are buzzing with messages, here're a few good ones:

lvl 198 voritor lizards and huurton stalkers? any chance this isn't intended? saw another stalker pack and they were all lvl 25.. making them lower lvl than a huurton pup now (27 apparently)... 1 hit incap while riding by.. 11k damage on my mere lvl 58... no really, this is great.. these things spawn in my yard 20m from my door on a regular basis!! when one makes it's home under my porch what do I do? not leave the house or leave my yard by way of the cloner? no really the CU was/is ready for live, honest -_-

- I support bringing back the old combat system and giving our game back!! You can too

"Yeah you are absolutely correct. Yes it was ready for live. I believe Homer Simpson said it best D'oh

I am jedi driving by and just one quenker knocked me off my bike and incapped me with 1 hit. I had 3k health.
I remember joking with some people online about 1 week before this CU went live.
I said we will nee a group of people to hunt kreetles.
I was wrong. We would actually need a NPC dark Jedi Master to kill the kreetles.
If 1 DJK can not kill a hurton I wonder if there are enough people who play the game to get enough groups together to kill a Corellian butterfly?

- I support ditching the CU & going back to the original system! You can too

and while I'm good and pissed off how about the 2million credits + worth of petstims crafted prior to the curb(stomp) that are now ZERO power... any word on how I got the shaft there ? the 1 minute timer on the crap people stims I made just to try it out (108 heal on a B but granted I didn't use the absolute best resources and need to relearn what stats matter on medical components) any chance one minute might be a bit overboard? huurton pups being ONE lvl lower than huurton matrons (pups look full grown now apparently)... my lvl 19 BE pet that became lvl 166 when I idiotically chose to adjust his level thinking how high can it go?( don't recall seeing any mention at all of that gem of a little popup prior to the curb(STOMP) either.. thanks for ruining my pets, my merchandise, my profession and my livelihood( static trade of factories on dant that I have to run a gauntlet of plain old voritor lizards on steroids to even get to in my backyard now) ohh and for the icing on this cake all my waypoints being gone.. I have a million credits worth of heavy mineral harvs SOMEWHERE in the eastern part of dant.. guess I'll just randomly cruise around and look for them.. who knows maybe I can ask a lvl 198 GD voritor for directions

Here was first impression... on Dantooine:

TKM/MDoc (classified as lvl80) riding by... I get aggro'd by a voritor lizard (lvl70)

- he spits on me... and hits for around 25-50pts

- I jump off and decide to kick his butt

- a fight insues and I am there for 15min --> granted he was hurting me and I was hurting him, but neither of us was making much progress

- finally got acouple of decent hits (around 180pts) and I start making a dent... finally I finish him off after 20min.

- See this just goes to show you that the DEVs were on the ball with this.

/sarcasm off
