So how do you activate & use the talent oop's ""Expertise"" system.
Like EVERY other COMPLETED game i would read the instruction manual but this buggy peice of software(only called cause it runs on P.C's sometimes) has'nt even got that anymore, how can you write instructions to something that dont work the way it should futher more how can you write instructions for something not even near complete E.G. alpha stage software - companys usualy start documention at beta stage ready for realease CAN SOE DO THIS WITH SWG.
I purchased this game in the shops so i have a hard copy, i wrote to SOE over a year ago asking them to replace the out of date manual they had sold me - lucky i didnt hold my breath.
The new textures look pretty good. That was always an annoyance with SWG, the character models didn't really look that good but then again that's a problem with all of SOE games I found. At least for me, this seems to be an improvement.
Not that auto firing and aiming is back, I just might try it again. That is really what I disliked. I hated how NGE was released, yes but I might have been okay or at least been more open minded had they not produced that half-hassed FPS combat. If I wanted twitch based combat I'd play Battlefront or some other FPS. Since I won't have to worry about that, have no problem constantly running around though, I might check it out.
Any word on how this actually relates to lag? I had the opinion before that it was all that constant clicking, sending the information to the servers that was adding to the lag during combat. With the auto-firing, I has the lag at least in that situation been improved since you are doing less on the client part now (it being closer to a degree how it was before NGE)?
You can no longer stop Dancing by using the /stopDance command
HAHAHA, Yes we spent days and weeks on this -- because we needed the controls of dancing to be even easier...
Now you just hit the space bar and yell STOP!
Sad... this is even used as a pub note..

Look at those screenies, and you'll see that they are rather well done allready...They have used every trick in the art book to make them look as realistic as possible....Ofcourse, you don't see that unless you look.
The mon cal, lizard, bothan, rodian, sullustan....they all have tesxtures that really give them credit.
And they are of a quality, that the new human'oid textures won't come near.
It's like Temujin played around with some textures, looked at them in the rendered and went "OOOOH SEXAH!"...Then forgot that what the renderer shows, is not what the game shows....
As a Chapter 2 publish gift, players will receive a Military Reactive Stim Injector. This item makes use of the latest advances in military grade bacta technology to automatically heal a portion of damage whenever the user sustains injury for a short duration. This item and others like it are currently in the process of being distributed to military facilities on the front lines of Naboo, Corellia, and Talus.
Um, did they remove stims, and are now re-introducing them? Or am I reading this incorrectly?

I don't understand this implementation, what can come from removing the /stopdance command?
It is an odd one. Probably has something to do with the NGE interface that I don't understand.
Haven't checked (or for that matter read to the end of the thread) but am hoping what they meant was 'members of a group can no longer stop dancing *for the rest of the group* by using /stopdance' But it's SOE devs communicating with TH and there's a block party , cake and other distractions, so heck knows.
********************* So, you all sat in camps and that was fun? *********************
Looks like they revamped Jabbas as well No longer do you have to travel 7-8k across Tat to finish missions, it seems to all be within 1k of the Palace.
Has anyone else been watching the Firestorm Brewing about the Expetise System? It seems people are realizing how much this is going to Gimp all other Professions... LOL!!! BALANCE-SCHMALANCE!!!!
Jedi can get a HA(M) up to 20k, and heals up to 10K, plus 84% Saber Block (24% Passive) & Immunity to all DOT's and Snares.
BH Get Armor 2k Higher than all others (10% more), their own version of Saber Block & a Burst Run, plus 20% less action costs & MUCH stronger Specials (up to 60% stronger).
Hey Obi: Enjoy your Restuss PVP After Pub 30, lol... I'm sure being a Medic will still be fun...
Let's do a poll:
I'll start my own SWG... with Black Jack... and Hookers!!!
Heh, I already have Jedi and BH alts so you're poll is already buggered :P
I've been on TC and dueling Jedi and BH. I've won duels against both although they were close. The BH I was up against had a defensive template and had used both of his defensive moves against me. Made me do nothing but trivial hits and very little damage. As a medic, all I need to do is focus on healing rather then damage specials and I can outlast them.
The Jedi had a Light Side template with the 10k heal. It was a fairly long battle as we both had decent healing power but I managed to have enough action for a heal and a gas cloud and it ripped her up :P
Having said that, they have nerfed the medics gas cloud

dude, calm down before you pop a vein or your head explodes or something. I can picture smoke comming out of your ears when you write your posts.
anyway, overall most people have been very happy about the changes on TC. There is less whining by the day and more and more people are accepting that the NGE is here to stay.

I find it interesting and amusing that they refused to rollback and/or admit they made a mistake with the NGE. Yet this upcoming publish, as well as the last few publishes, have basically been bringing back much of what was lost when the NGE went live. It's some kind of covert admission and compromise. People complained about targeting they bring it back and act like it's new. They kill diversity and then bring it back but packaged as "Expertise". They're finally making progress in the GCW, Restuss fiasco aside, that has been on the burner for 3 years. They're fixing quests that have been broken forever and adding new ones. If they continue this trend of compromise will it be a vicotory for vets who left in protest and disgust, like me, or will it only be a victory if they roll it back to pre-CU or CU?
At the very least I am going to stop taking part in any PvP though I am looking at hooking up with my brothers and old swg guildies in wow for a while again, releasing expertise too just two classes was beyond stupid for a live game, funny thing other game companies only seem to do stuff like that too beta testers .
After looking through the BH trees I saw some very nasty looking combo's that will readily shut down any class. I feel sorry for any BH marks when this hits live it will be even more ugly for them.. lol first strike with more abilities at your disposale.
