Star Wars Galaxies

We all know how bad the community can be, and this just keeps getting funnier. Blixtev forwarned the community 6 months ago that they were going to do something about block yet several people still invested hundreds of millions of credits in block suits and with the changes on test center, most aren't liking it atll. Personally I think it's a GOOD thing, last time I played and pvp'd, I got SO very sick of fighting a medic that had over 60% block chance and blocked over 890 damage a shot, and commando can get higher if I remember. Thing is now the people that relied very heavily on block has very little skill in knowing how to deal with combat.

Several people now are threatening to leave the game, most people that ACTUALLY do leave the game rarely ever posts on the forums saying "that's it I'm leaving, you jackasses" but usually silently leaves (like I did)- the ones that DO post with threats rarely actually leaves the game.

I think what should have been done is block to be dealt with back in October when Blixtev mentioned it instead of waiting 6 months down the road.

Ah, the game improvements that inevitably lead to chaos and the hurt feelings for the overal SWG community.

You have just become another notch on SOEs huge 'We don't care about the community' list, and, have joined the SWG veterans hate SOE campaign.

I'm sorry to hear that SOE failed to listen to the community at large, but, this again is the hugest issue to SOE, the failure to listen, even though Smed continues to Spout that they are indeed listening, it seems they are only listening to the beat of the dieing embers of the once SWG possibilities

Why didn't they just change the block percentage down to just for arguments sake 30%?  lol

How bizarre.

With SOE it's always everything or nothing

Given the credibility that SOE has regarding SWG, can you take ANYTHING they say about "the future" at face value?

I did, once, and then the NGE came along.

It's as if they feel that they need to make some type of broad-sweeping change... something that is easily noticed by their customers. 

The point of any change in SWG is typically not 'to fix' anything in particular. 

Often, the point of change in SWG is simply for the sake of change itself.

If they make small adjustments to the game, they are afraid that nobody will notice them.

Because they ALWAYS overnerf or overbuff.  They NEVER do anything in small increments.  Blixtev, if he had any cognitive ability at all, would have long ago learned that this is a surefire way to piss off players.

But Blixtev is a seriously committed to stupidity blockhead.
