Well I survived the CU so the most simple answer is the NGE.

Most everything I really enjoyed in the game is gone and what they put back... is a crap version of what I used to like.

I was paying for 9 accounts (me and gf split them) and I was never bored.. I mean that's the thing every other MMO I'm bored.  I was never bored in SWG beucase I was making pets with my BE.

The current creature system is more of a grind than anything.. and not enjoyable to *me*.

And since you asked what was the worst personal thing that would be it.

Altho the real answer would be the fact that my friends list has remained empty since the NGE.. err I saw two people on it a couple times.. but the other 200+ long gone.

Man as I look over my own post, you can really see a small sample of the many things people wanted fixed.  These things were just broken, plain and simple, and people wanted them to work.

I don't care what SOE defenders say, this was not too much to ask.  And if anyone thinks that people were "asking" for the NGE by asking SOE to fix these broken parts of their original game, I think they either work for SOE, have a family member employed there or are completely out to lunch.

QFE , No argument here . The worst to me was the heal bug ,man that really ticked me off , As a fencer doc my heals were my lifeline lol ,when I would heal a war tef , did I ever want to break my keyboard ! LOL.

HAHAHA I remember when Rayden broke his keyboard playin one night lmao. Then you had Heat' always going afk in a battle to go fix Hawt Pockets. xD

Worst thing that ever happened to me pre-NGE was when I trained the fourth box in one of my FS lines, and the whole line just disappeared. CS wouldn't do anything, had to regrind a full branch. Probably cost me my Elder Jedi after the NGE hit.

our guild master had a legendary krayt pistal drop , it had a durability that never lowered and had almost infinate uses, we had it on valcyn, soga mijzi. when you shot it it took all but 1 out of your blue bar, then our master rifle men used to pick you off one by one.

  after the guild leader stopped playing her passed it on to a fellow guildy, alot of people on the server thought we were hacking and or cheating, to this day it sits on the wall of the guild house

Sure you're not thinking about Mordis :P another jedi in fight  ?  Remember Mesk's (later used by  Delz ) Pike ? Oh man ..... FIRE!   Richard Pryor would be envious. ROFL

worst thing that happened to me? i had done all the templates my holocrons had asked me, and i was on the last part to get my force sensitive slot (which was basically master random profs until you found the right one) i had alrady done about 10 profs at this point, then they decided to change how it worked, and i lost all my work. way to go lucas arts and sony!

Didn't you get basically free unlocks in the village, though? I started shortly after the hologrind ended and the village started, so I'm not exactly sure how the conversion went.

Can't say NGE huh lol, o.k.  Well, lemme see what comes to mind.  Prolly the time I logged in, in my house, and there was some kinda tree spawned in front of the exit.  I was stuck there.  /unstick or whatever, didn't work, logging out and back in didn't work.  So I petitioned.  No response ever lol, yeah fun times.  Loved that speedy customer service.

Then there was a time when the sith commander wouldn't follow you down slopes, even if you crawled down them weaving back and forth diagonally to keep him right on your butt.  A bunch of us had the same problem at the same time--bugreported it, petitioned it.  No response, ever.  And that trial didn't come around except every few weeks.  Months later, literally, a dev posted that the were looking at it.  Long after it was brought to the devs attention it was fixed, but then deleted entirely with the release of the thing I"m not supossed to talk about lol.  I was on my last unlock quest when all the village disappeared for reasons I'm also not supposed to mention -_^.  That really did suck though.

Then just being a medic after my MasterDoc/TKM was deleted.  My heals healed enemies 0_o.  That was whacked.  On top of that though, the group heal aggroed everything on screen causing instant death--loads of fun there.  Basically all my character was good for was rezzing BUUUT, when I'd hit the rez button, the corpse wouldn't rez, and sometimes it would slide like 60 meters away, out of my rez range of course.

I remember trying a PVP event during this version of the game.  If you hit group rez on one team member all of your team would rez right?  Well not when he slides of the screen and you're killed while standing and looking at the spot he used to be.

It also totally sucked when I had multiple chat windows open, and due to a conflict with chat and movement coding, this rendered you unable to speak or move, at all.  We sent mail to each other to come up with a work around.  After we figured it out, and told the devs about it, we got a message from the devs in game explaining our own work around.  I'm glad they let everyone know, but I thinking they might have a better idea of how to fix their own work.

Then there was the time I logged in and was stuck in the original space station tutorial.  I couldn't interact with the console you needed to in order to enter the main game.  Couldn't fix it, petitioned, never got a response ever.  I had to kill the avatar after a few days of non-response, just so I could join my friends on the same server.

Then there was the time I logged in, and the keybinds had gone completely whack.  All by itself, they switched themselves to some other template.  Again, asked for help, none ever came, figured it out by myself, and then had the privilege of helping other players who had the same thing happen to them, and who also received no ingame support.

Then after being told that "we're working on all the bugs and issues, you can expect better quality and customer service anytime now," instead of getting what we hoped for, we got that unmentionable thing.

You know what really chaps my ass though?  It's when people can honestly look at this kind of utterly abysmal customer service, and have the audacity to say that players complained too much about SOE's  busted game. 

 

  But other than all that it was Starwarsy and Iconic right?
Seriously tho that is one long dirty laundry list.  And good for a laugh /salute ArcAngel3

This was before the nge ftw. The worst thing that happened to me was, was not knowing that the patch released that day nerfed my BH :(, and trying to kill a krayt dragon witch btw before this patch was no problem. Lets just say i found out that BH got nerfed the hard way that day.

when i logged in and realised all the work i put into ranger was gone.

Lol, good one. /return salute.
 

Of the many things I enjoy about this forum, one is that I can still interact with the excellent community of people that I used to play SWG with :)

I feel for you - I did 28(?) of the 33 then they changed it and suddenly EVERYONE was pretty much at the same square I was. :(

And the biter here is that come to find out the number of silent classes was RAISED over time. The one turned to two turned to three and so on.

When I started my hologrind the average number of classes master to unlock was 13-15. By the time I gave up the average number of classes to unlock was 32-33.....

The NGE.

The CU.

The NGE

NGE, nuff said.

I feel for you bro.  I too grinded 28 profs before the village came along and only got 3 free unlocks

This will probably make you feel bad.

I only mastered 10 profs by the time of pub 9, and got two free unlocks.

Just another of Sony's brass knuckled fists to the groin. :)
