My dream was to be a jedi "hybrid" or a MCM/Pistoleer that has only Force Powers.

Hajpoj

I started up playing shortly after the CU, the game was still pretty fundamentally the same at that point. I was 5/6 FS on my way to unlock when the NGE hit.

I always wanted to be a force sensitive hybrid, and role-play as one and never wield a LS. People such as that did exist during the GCW and I intended to be one.

I planned on being super secretive about it, only to use my force powers when my life depended on it.


This is the kind of thing that SoE took from us, the ability to make almost every person's game unique and fun.

free2play

Oggat was to be a Master Ranger with a combat Master to accomodate. It was unavoidable, he would become a Jedi. That was end game. I was hoping to convince SOE to allow me to retire Oggat at that point and start a second gen Oggat (a son you might say like FS Luke to Vader) at this point I retire Oggat and start another path.

SOE saw fit to decide to make excuses and come up with faked reasons to make the game a glorified flash game instead.

Not enough skill points. Unless you'd be only novice force powers or something. Or useless in pistols. Or more likely, both.

MCM in CU wasn't even remotely viable as primary combat profession, and force powers were horrible. Of course, you could do that, but in GCW you'd be completely sidelined.

Uh, I was MCM/M.Pistols and I did pretty decently in PvP :P  MCM had some pretty nice abilities such as one of the longest snares in the CU, damage decreases and a bunch of other stuff.  Some of these have returned with the Medic expertise in Chapter 4

There was a MBH on Euro Chim who was MBH or atleast the bh 3xxx i think with Master Jedi Defender also. He was a tough as fook to beat basicly because of that no incap ability. Doh can't even remember the name of it. Thats how long $OE has kept me from the almight classic SWG.

So, you were MCM/MPistols/MPowers?

Or what is your point, apart from the irrelevant "NGE is great" propaganda?

He wanted to be MCM/Pistols with Jedi powers tree.

It sounded like you were saying MCM itself was a useless profession, I was standing up for my old profession

MCM pre-cu. After CU it lost that. The dots were still powerful, but completely insuficient on their own against an even moderately skilled pvper.

There was more to it then just DoTs though post CU.  As I mentioned, it had damage reducers and snares, along with the DoTs and heals (long ranged heals too) which made it a good combination with most other professions (no professions were good on their own in PvP, sinc eyou'd only have been level 54 :P)

How come everything is about "being a good combo" or being "good PvP template"?

What happened to being your dream character?

 

somehow I have a feeling that certain people here, gaming is just about being "the uber", instead of an extension of your imagination....

Nope, ever since I started playing I was always at least a little pistoleer and combat medic (heh, pistoleer pre-cu was pretty far from uber :P).  That was the combination I enjoyed playing, hence why I'm now a Medic that sometimes uses a pistol

I always kept some artisan, even if just Novice. Surveying helped pass the time on base-d.

hehe I always Wanted to be a Master defender, master Swordsman(was actually grindding for it before the CU),  Since the Defenders abilities was most inate, the defences would work with armor!  Imagine how good of a tank that would be +  the 3rd best Power hammer in my server hehe.

I would argue that whatever he wanted to do was viable simply because thats what he wanted to do.   May not have been good for pvp or for any other specific purpose, but if he wanted it and enjoyed it....then so be it.  That was the beauty of the old system, you had choices and could do what you wanted to do.   For a while I was mch/mpistols  which many decried as a silly waste SP but i liked it....

Avoid
incap was a special ability of the Master Defender as a jedi. When more
than 50 people per server played the game we had some awsome pvp
battles.  We, as imps would have Naboo on total lockdown while the
Rebels would try their damndest to get back to their home planet of
Corellia to buff up.  When we would find out what sp they were
trying to fly out of, Us master defenders would go in first and let
them beat up on us while the rest of the crew flew in and picked them
off 1 by 1.  As a master defender, once your health bar was close
to zero you could inable avoid incap and your force bar became your
health bar.  Once your force bar was down to zero you were
history. Master defender was the best in group pvp but 1-1 wasnt worth
a damn.

Thanks for the details, I was just questioning if that's the name he was looking for   Silly Jedi that used avoid incap found they were rooted in place by me (during the CU...)

kordrial

i remember wanting to be a few proffessions, and my template changed over time, i can't remember each template exactly, but when i 1st got the game, i really wanted to be pistol/ch, but when every guy and their mother had 3 grual maulersout, i decided to go against the crowd a bit and went up pistols with a little BH, before i got far into BH i think i respec'd to pistol/bio engineer, (for some reason ) and then from there went full crafter with bio/driod, then i replaced bio w/ MWS, and started to go a little bit up the polearm line. later on i think i dropped WS and parts of DE for MCM.

i also remember dabbling in MSL and the basics of chef for a while

this is all a bit foggy, and i never really fell into FoTM (like TKM, MCH, and never wanted any part of Jedi), +, because it's so foggy do't call me out on sp limitations >_>

Yep thats it cheers. "Does exactly what it says on the tin." Doh can't believe Im forgetting the names of jedi skills, I spent months and months messing around and thinking about different templates. Never had Master Defender though. MLS all the way.
