    Uh.....wth is this?   It looks like a mix of Pre-NGE and some NGE.  Entertainers able to heal wounds?  But Jedi still a starting prof?

    I am totally hoax impaired, so I have no idea if this is fake or real......all I know is that I am confused.  Especially since this is on Stratics.

  • RekrulRekrul Member Posts: 2,961
    Submitted, for you consideration, an online game. A bounty hunter, a ranged, Jedi killer class. It's function, undefined, subject to whims of powers that be. Designed around a concept, that was, or sometime may even be, yet never quite is. The game, where rules don't apply, where nothing is constant, except for change. And for only $15 per month, you can play too. So why not join SWG, a game, played an ever shifting ether, of the twilight zone.

    I'm not smart enough to come up with a hoax. About three or four weeks ago stratics still had the old professions listed, pre-cu. When I went back there the other day they were gone. So I checked my history folder from three weeks back and pulled up the old fencer list, then I hit professions nad it brought up this. No rumors, no hoax, no conspiracy, just what I saw.

    I don't claim to be right, I'm just posting.

  • shirlntshirlnt Member UncommonPosts: 351
    For those of you who did not play a post-NGE entertainer, they were messed up anyway.  It was like they were working on the entertainer changes before they did the NGE professions because entertainer had professions listed on their possible buffs that did not exist anymore plus Engineers had parts to make harvesting droids although you no longer "harvest" animals, you "loot" them instead.  If SOE can't even keep their stuff straight, how is anyone else suppose to?
  • feldrinfeldrin Member UncommonPosts: 210
    I was thinking that this was just a mix of two systems pre and post-nge but it's not really. Where is dancer for instance. Any way I guess stratics doesn't worry about SWG much anymore.

    They are just taking there que from SOE... If the company who manages the game doesnt, why should they..

    When the Logic gets through to them, it usually has an Abnormal effect on them.

    They become Rational, if only for a second. They See both perspectives of the arguement.

    And then the effect ends, and they go back to normal. Being scared of experiencing that logic again, they decide that it is best to leave it alone.

    But yeah, that Profession list is confusing. My bet is Drugs and/or Alcohol were involved.
