HELP I suck at combat!!!Follow

#1 Nov 20 2008 at 8:10 PM Rating: Decent
I don't know what it is, but when I played this game 2 years ago, I could hold my own. Now after 2 years I come back and everything has changed. Lower level fighters are beating me.

Is there some kind of combat training? This is rediculous. People were telling me that I should be buffed, and there are self buffs, I know like JedI stance and Jedi Focus, but this is crazy, this game isn't fun.

If anyone could give me a hand or a word of advice that would be great.

Thank you!

gettign buffed you can do by going to find an Ent. You may also have to improve you gear i.e clothing, weapons, armor and the such. Then finally take a look at your toon capibilies a little closer. Time for a brush up...if you have done legacy it's a good training quest for you get used to your toon and the specials again they have changed over the last 2 yrs.

unfortunately pvp in swg is now battle of the buffs, entertainer buffs are only a part of it, one of the reasons i decided a long time ago that pvp in swg just wasnt worth it. its ironic that the complaints about pvp in the pre-cu era, are now being re-enacted under a different guise in the nge, same old story i guess, the devs have learned nothing.

I agree when I left the game around the NGE I had the best gear available, when I came back 8 or so months ago I was getting my butt handed to me by mobs 10 levels below me, the answer to pvp is new armor, weapons and buffs (there are also several quested self buffs you will need) as nothing from two years ago will cut it these days thanks to armor and weapon revamps.

and they wonder why players seem to concentrate more on pve than pvp.... they overcomplicated something that should have been fairly simple.. again.. of course.. i am biased as im not a pvp'er, another question is, in a game that promotes a 'galactic civil war' why can you only form small groups, and no batallions or whatever that would make the actual combat easier, and more structured, and less of a multigroup free for all.

Oooo.....someone who finally brought militarstic thinking into the conversation. I have always wondered why this has not been brought up. It indeed is a civil "WAR". Which the word war brings the thought of military action. You have units...not just guilds, "Units" of all sizes grinding against each other for the victory. Yet....still no offical unit designations. Only those which a guild assigns. No call to arms....no scrambles of pilots...beconing with thier siren calls of combat. No commanders it take charge and assult the opposing postions, No taking of prisioners, No double tapping the injured on the battle field. Just an occasional attack of this city or the next, which are always waaaaaaaaaaaaay out classing those that are not high level. I believe most wars are fought by freckle face Freddy, and NYC Sal who is called the pick up private, because he can get action in NYC. Not Sgt Savage, Iron Mike, or Audie Murphy. These are names of military lore, but they but heroes, not the main battle force. I think the Devs need to write some military actions in it....lining those who attend by the rank....both space, and planetside, PVE, and PVP. Like a twice a week space battle including SD and Corvettes, possibly even a Frigit. Ground forces attacking this base and that. One side defending the other attacking. guilds do it now....but if the dev put one into the game, I think you will have cross guild cooperation....kinda like a planned PVP....I think you might to see some unit cohesion as well as some good wholsome fun....all that killing and the such. You would chit talking and beat downs. Old scores being evened. equipment testing. The call for better gear would increase....the wheels of war are profitable for everyone. Wellp....there is my rant and totally random piece. Have fun reading.

heh.heh.heh....typos
