I played for e few weeks and explored the NGE grinding my 80 up to level 90 and checking everything out on Bria It's dead unfortunately, maybe there were a new breed of players that stay home and decorate but on Must/Rori/Eisley/Kash/Space and just about anywhere else you'd expect to see some semblance of a population there was merely a trickle, and its about 18 months since NGE came along to relaunch the game The main reason its dead is that players don't need each other any more and that's the saddest thing. Even if there were 25million people logged into Bria the game would still feel empty. Interdependency got thrown out of the window with the loot/repeat syndrome brought about by SOE. No smugglers slicing armour, no docs buffing, instead dancers just offer a slight xp bonus that we used to get from grouping. The removal of group bonuses has killed this game along with the removal of any player-generated edge that other players could offer in the form of crafting/buffs/slicing/clothing/BE'ing/citybonuses. Maybe certain elements were overeloborate and time consuming to complete before you could engage in gameplay...GOOD!!!!, I can log into xbox live and teabag Germans on CoD3 within 2 minutes of flicking the switch on, I wanted to play a game that involved tooling-up, preparation and attention to detail One of the saddest facts to confirm how badly they screwed up is that they keep putting back things ingame that they took away. If Smed didn't say they screwed up then why do they put back in auto-aim, pets and just about everything they got rid of? No-one asked for a level system, nine professions or a fps but we got it and we all left in droves, that is a mistake and you don't need a business degree to figure it out. They needed to keep their existing customers and attract new ones or simply dump the game and start agin from scratch The game is dead, you don't need to convince us otherwise, or to tell us we're wrong. If you really feel the need to try to convince us then post some screenshots, I hear a lot of bullshit that we don't know what we're talking about since we run around on a trial account etc, in that case just post some screenies of anything, a map radar, a chat tab, anything that indicates that you're playing with something resembling a population that is slightly interested in something more than 30 players involved in a gankfest in Restuss, which I might add is not SWG, it's just plain sad.

This is on Dant two nights ago. I am sure the haters will find some fault with it:
"If we don't attack them, they will attack us first. So we'd better retaliate before they have a chance to strike" |

Thanks Baronjuju, nice comeback and I'm not going to be picking faults with anything. Nice to see a healthy group of folks quite frankly I'm not here to flame I just want to know if it really is busy without all the regular arguments we keep on seeing here on the boards all the time. What server are you on?

one question ju ju..............
dont bullshit me, is that normal nightly occurence or was that a one shot deal? Even games with low populations get random crowds from time to time. It looked like a lot of same guild members were in attendance which also accounts for so many people congregated in one place. Critical thinking is a desire to seek, patience to doubt, fondness to meditate, slowness to assert, readiness to consider, carefulness to dispose and set in order; and hatred for every kind of imposture. |

First, I imagine that is Bria based on the pop, and it is large. I see it's Bloodfin from another post. Second, the REASON there are so many players is that they're base busting to grind GCW points, which I believe is considered exploiting based on what I've read on the O-forums. It's an incredibly sad statement itself of just how lame the GCW is, and the game mechanics of the NGE... yeah, that's how a REAL General would do it, LOL... ...oh, and way to exploit... at least that's what I've read people complaining about... and if I'm mistaken about what's going on, please elaborate... |

Now there is nothing wrong with what the picture he posted shows. You actually have a good time socializing and when imps and rebs show up you have some pretty darn good pvp battles. Again no matter what anyone post you guys will never accept it. Nothing will ever be good enough there will always be some excuse.

First, were you upset its Bloodfin? So its exploting when the opposing faction puts down bases and we find them and blow them up, while fighting reb players? LOL, its like the never ending whine fest for you all. Everything was legit, I know thats tough to comprehend but thats the facts. If you think it wasn't please elaborate. "that's how a REAL General would do it" ROFL. Oh please wise one, enlighten us with your knowledge of military tactics. I gues we should have waited until enough rebs showed up to outnumber us, buffed and set up, then try and take it right? LOL. Basic military strategy, hit them, and hit them hard, when they are not expecting it. As I said, some rebs tried to defend but in the end we outnumbered them. Fight smarter not harder.

Now, what am I not accepting? I said the pop was large in the pic, so what exactly am I denying? Is it as high as Pre-CU, heck no, but it's the largest group I've seen since the NGE hit, and if I were playing that would make me happy. Now if you ask me if the GCW system is good enough, I'd say HELL NO... sorry, but this is just sad... not the social part, but that this is what the GCW has come to... setting up camps and Clubbing bases... that's Iconic? |

Originally posted by BaronJuJuOk... I'm not going to comment about the pic nor the issue of "cheating" that has been claimed to be happening in the pic. However, I just have to comment on this. From your reply BaronJuJu, you come off as a major jerk. MX13 comes off and actually replies on what he sees. He even stated that he wasn't overly sure if he understood the rule and said, "...and if I'm mistaken about what's going on, please elaborate..." Instead of calmly explaining to him your thoughts on the pic and the rules about GCW, you come off as a major jerk and flame him with this. That was totally uncalled for, and shows your true maturity. Seriously, you really need to grow up. If you represent the current SWG player, then I seriously wouldn't want to be involved in that game. |

I see you main arguement was just as I predicted, no rebs. I already explained we fought them off but no amount of discussion will ever open you eyes. Sad, but not surprising. By that "logic" restuss is an exploit as well because reb players aren't there 24/7?
Here is what DM said. See, I took half a second to actually get what the devlopers said vice "thats what I heard on the forums". So using your "logic" please explain what bug, hack or bot folks were supposedly using when they had folks go in and set the terminals off (as it was designed) then sit there for 10 minutes for them to blow up (as it was designed)? I figured you would have at least attempted to answer it since you were so sure. I know Col was an very easy grind and meaningless preCU and that actually having to put a bit of effort into making ranks now with the great rewards to boot upsets some former vets now but thats the breaks. I know we preCU folks are very knowledgeable of exploiting since that was a common theme preCU with fightclubbing, log on/off to avoid death and detection and credit duping to name a few of the more popular ones, but playing the game by the rules set out by the DEV's is not an exploit. Sorry to burst your bubble. "If we don't attack them, they will attack us first. So we'd better retaliate before they have a chance to strike" |

DM's quote and your Wiki quote make the point for me, so thank you. Read the red. The Dev's did not intend for Base Clubbing to occur, as has been said for some time now, and as DM refers to in that quote. And that's the end of that debate, period. Base Clubbing is an Exploit. Now, you prove your true intent by claiming Col Pre-CU was easy to obtain. It was FAR from easy Pre-CU, and was a real accomplishment. It was not easily obtained, and could not be gained through standing around with people exploiting. An arguement can be made about "if Pre-CU Col had meaning", but to those of us that did achieve it, it had a deep meaning like all things that you earned with hard work Pre-CU. Reading your last paragraph, you prove your hypocrisy. You claim Base Clubbing isn't an exploit (even though the Dev's think it is)because it's a designed mechanic, then claim fight clubbing was although it too was a designed mechanic. Last, grow up and stop the personal attacks, you look like fool... |
