Shame it wasn't that big when we needed it most.
 

 


 

The "Vocal Minority" have never had anything to do with Wow-envy that SOE and LucasArts have to this day. 

Keep blaming the CUSTOMERS...  LMAO

Would it have mattered? SOE didn't care what its players wanted...the various developer admissions that have taken place in the last few years made that very clear.

Congratz, man what has taken that long for you to finaly understand what I've been saying always, you suprised me with finaly saying what I've been saying for such a long time, yet you mostly choose together with a few others to try and twist things or totaly ignore what I wrote most of the times. So I am glad that finaly you got it right. So next time don't confuse Players with Whiners as they are not the same......Thanks.

When have any of the vets argued against the idea that SOE doesn't care about its players?

nvm, just took the a brief moment and saw your post history, you're to obsessive and to addicted for my taste towards something you dislike......so never mind arguing with a person like YOU.

Delusions of grandeur are adorable, aren't they?

NEWSFLASH TO WILDCAT: 90% of former SWG players don't give a shit.

So I started to walk into the water. I won't lie to you boys...I was terrified. But I pressed on, and as I made my way past the breakers, a strange calm came over me. I don't know if it was divine intervention or the kinship of all living things, but I tell you, Jerry, at that moment ... I was a marine biologist.

That's not exactly breaking news. It's also the reason SOE is now merging servers.

Following their standard cycle, are we not approaching the "Gonna lose their license in February" shutdown date? I expect we will hear the latest iteration of this rumor within the next week or two.

I can't wait, the story gets better every year.

The NGE doesn't have to shutdown to fail or be a failure.  The fact that 11 or so servers will simply be on but completely barren used shows how bad things truly are.

I'm sure it'll eventually lead to those servers being shutdown at some point in the future but right now it's just a free transfer...

If they are going to shut those servers down why go through the charade of calling them free transfers instead of just biting the bullet and merging the servers. Perhaps SOE is trying to fool people again?

Both server merges and free transfers have been talked about by devs as possible solutions for the problem of low populations on a lot of servers.

So they chose free transfers to deal with this. How is this fooling the players? They got what they asked for.

Oh and if you dont understand the difference between merging or transfers of characters, maybe you forgot about the player cities? Another thing you maybe dont know, is that they came up with a solution to transfer resources too, before they introduced the free transfers.

I can also be very critical about games and also have my issues with certain current developments with SWG, but I dont see the need to come up with stupid assumptions like you do.

They had to come up with a fix for the resource transfer otherwise the CTS would have been a failure.  But make no mistake the CTS was in essence server merges.  The transfer from servers will never recover which will make it easy for SOE to close them.  They never denied that server closure/force merges would not happen...they just said "not at this time".  The CTS before forced server merge/closure was simply the right thing to do which is an odd occurence for SOE.

Honestly Star wars galaxies is the only game where this kind of kindness is found from other gamers. All the characters I have made in SWG at one point or another at a low level I had other gamers come up and totally give me items and credits for free. I LOVE IT WHEN GAMERS DO THAT! 

 

POWER to Star Wars.

WOW!

 

I must say this game has become breathless! (i agree, the scenery was breathtaking and its pretty much the only thing they have not touched)

Community is VERY helpful and nice. Best there is!

 

I played the game when it was released. We left when all our shops & vendors suddenly where gone one day we logged on.

 

I was very sceptic to a comeback, but I am so impressed that I suggest anyone who has interest in a Sci-Fi game to ttry this. (just so its on record for the rest of the post, ive recently tried it)

 

Its low rating is really not showing the 'thruthness' about this game. (highly doubt it)

You can change class (professions) whenever you want (by paying a re-specicalisation fee, and the combat animations of the characters are really great! (you must live in slow motion, the animations and the characters are on amphetamines) There are as well so many cool armors, which makes me really digging my character, so I feel real unique just like 1/9th of the rest of the server). One great thing is that I am not using any title, so noone can see that I am a Bounty Hunter; this will come handy when I hunt down players with bounties on their heads! right because they don't see a red blip on their radar coming towards them

There is so much to do ingame ( I am L27 atm), that it is almost overwhelming. (you have not played many MMORPGs lately...? i consider SWG poor in quests compared to many other games.)

 

I came to EU Chimera this time (old character were gone from my account, but I dont mind at all since they werent on this server )

I am a total disaster when it comes to make contact with people in MMORGs, so I mainly solo all by myself. But here it all has changed; I have been given some real insane powerful armor (killing L42 mobs at 27!!) (god mode? whats so fun if there is no challenge?), I have been giving a very fast Swoop Bike,(like the one everyone else has?) and one Bounty Hunter even gave me 1million credits to help me going ingame! All this for free (not unique to SWG, i am a rookie in EVE online and my corporation suplies me with ships and modules when i loose them in war (we are a mercenary corp). I have NEVER begged for anything ingame in any game. All this has made me real 'flying high'.

 

The best part about SWG is that if you get 'bored' about fighting on the ground, then go the the spaceship terminal, then fly out and do combat in space in your space ship! How awesome isnt that?? (has not changed since JTL expansion)

 

If you are from Europe I strongly suggest you play on EU Chimera, the server is just great. have not tried any EU servers.

 

I could keep on going by bragging about how great this game is, but now I want to log in and do some quests instead!

 

I will most certainly be back with more positive information about SWG later. It is a shame this game is rated so low, it really doesnt deserve it. They have put alot of effort into making this game better, and I would say they have succeeded. you bet there will be even better things to come as well! (really? heard there was no expansion comming for this year, exept for loot cards, but that you have to gamble to get good items hope you are over 18 to gamble... oh wait there are no restrictions in SWG... right minors can gamble...)

 

 

Good luck to all newcomers ingame, I hope you be as lucky as I have!

 

now there is one person who said that combat is not broken? i got shot through a wall.... thats my definition of broken.

i wont get started on low population and reduction of parties size. (not to mention 200 character wars.
