It's the most horrendous thing they've ever done to the game. A Jedi who's deemed "combat level 78" cannot take out something deemed "combat level 40" without close to dying. BEFORE this "upgrade" the same creature could be taken down in 2 hits. I'm extremely disappointed, I only hope they can clean up after this enough to keep the game playable.

what you all forget about AAo is that 1) it's ran by the army (price is their biggest concern) and 2) b/c of #1, they contracted SCI (worst host ever). maybe if 90% of players didnt have 50% packet loss and 300 ping, and if auth servers werent down 10% of ALL THE TIME, then MAYBE it would be a decent game. these reasons, however, make any serious gamer shy away and not look back. viva la HomeLAN
