Are they resetting the publish/chapter/etc title of the updates with each new dev-team?

the game is bad and they should feel bad.

Game Update #1? Am i mis-reading something here? I could of swore this game has been out long enough to have more than one game update. Maybe its just me ......... heh.

Wow..so many broken things.  Glad they are fixing them though.

There is too many things to fix. Thats always been the problem with this game. It is too big and complex for the team of devs to keep up with. So they had to dumb it down a little and its still too big for the now small team. A game like this used to be, needs a much bigger team or better. Look at darkfall online, its supposed to be more complex than any other game ever. Why do you think it hasnt come out yet with no date set for beta.

Even with all the bugs id still play the old swg.

Some much needed bugs fixed and better animations are needed baaaad. GJ team

Seriously, I read the list, and it looks like stuff that should have been fixed a year ago or more when they first broke it, with the NGE.  So where the hell are they getting Game Update 1 from? I thought this was like game update 8 or something like that?  Or did they just change the name again of what they are calling their updates, cause you know, a turd in a new package is still a turd lol.

I doubt it.  Its more likely slight of hand on the part of SoE, they have a history of "Renaming" stuff to make it seem like something totally new lol.

In a recent post Deadmeat explained where the new dev teams are going for 2008. Half the team will work on fixes the other half on new content. We are coming up on CHAPTER 9 but with the new devs and new content in place they are calling it Game Update 1. Since before they had minor fixes calling them Chapter 7.1 or 7.2 before.

Not having a Smuggler or Spy, my favourite part of this update would have to be the new ability to be able to lock down UI segments.  Been wanting something like that for over 4 years now...no more randomly dragging the UI all over the place accidently!

They are probably just changing the nomenclature to avoid getting to Chapter 11. lol
