SWG used to be fun....I've tried the trial plenty of times during NGE (one month ago at the latest) and to me it hasn't improved that much. Can't wait till SWGEMU gets fully released

truth: game is a million times better than Nov. 15 2005

truth: game is a million times WORSE than Nov. 14 2005

In many, many ways, both of these statements are correct. However, good luck convincing anyone in here of the first one.

Well as long as the NGE is still in place it doesn't matter how much more "fun" it is than it was on November 15, 2005.

Good luck convincing anyone in here of...oh wait they already *are* convinced. Having fun trolling the vet forum?

I have one thing to say to the OP...

...80 foot tall Wampa...           

SWG's NGE....worth shooting yourself in the face to stop the vomiting.

That...is the truth.

Wonderful sig. Nicely done.

I find it odd that this thread was posted while pretty much ever former player had a free month and a half of free access to the game.  The truth is that SWG is still the worst MMO on the market.  Some content has been added, a lame target lock system has added, and WoW's talent system has been added.  None of the additions changes the fact that the combat system is completely unfun.

Crafting has been changed from focusing on creating items to being much more like WoW's enchanting system than an actual crafter.  The only changes in graphics have been a massive increas in obnoxious particle effects and making the human and zabrak characters look like long term crystal meth users.

The fact of the matter is that there is a number of people so enamoured with the Star Wars IP that they continue to play a game that many of them will even admit they don't really like.  The only thing SWG has going for it there are graphics that resemble things from the original three Star Wars films.

If having Stormtroopers in your online game is more important to you than having fun playing it, then Star Wars Galaxies is for you.

I think you need to know the difference between "fact" and "opinion."

{ Mod Edit }

Regardless, the majority of the once loyal playerbase left this disaster of an MMO after the NGE.

The last bit of satisfaction about us leaving due to the NGE is that SOE / LA expected for us to be quickly and easily replaced by some onrushing crowd of rabid, simple minded players.  This of course never happened.

Those disloyal nitwits obviously gave 2 s**ts about current, PAYING customers who stuck with the buggy game.  They pretty much had this frame of mind.

$15 longtime paying customer = $15 prospective paying customer

Well, their gamble to my glee failed miserably.  SOE & LA said "F**k You" to existing playerbase at the time, "We can get it even better here."

The idiots obviously failed.

So those that left can look back and have the last laugh.

"No, F**k YOU, SOE & Lucarts."

Honestly even if you haven't tried the game and think you'll find fun through the free trial... you are wrong. man you are stuck on a space station not even connected to the real world. I hated that fact! For what little there is left in SWG let the free trial users at least taste the instant gratification the producers were hoping for... or are they scared that maybe people will get all they will need from the instant fun they get from jumping right into the game.... man... such a sweet game.

Our hope now rests in the hands of Bioware. May SWG be used always as the kid star wars and the real men and women live under the true, complex, and amazing world of Star Wars.

I the more I hear about SWTOR, the more I hate it.   It will be nothing at all like a pre cu type game or even a sandbox game.  Seems like it's going to be very very very quest heavy and you even get a NPC group to follow you around.  I hope I'm wrong, and I'll definitely try it out...but I see another Age of Conan with this game.

What bothered me most about the NGE was the fact it killed good crafting-- weaponeers and armor smiths.  I was no longer able to get the weapons I liked. 

Did you see the munitions changes with Game Update 5?

Take a look at this Friday Feature – Core of the Matter

"Munitions Traders in Game Update 5 have a new system for crafting weapons in Game Update 5! Weapon cores allow the weaponsmith to choose the look of the weapon, the elemental type, and more. "

That sounds like a restriction that was on the trial a year or so ago, this was removed and you can leave as long as you are level 5 or over and have completed some basic tasks for Han Solo in repairing the Falcon.

You'll find yourself in Mos Eisley with the entire game available to explore.

Yes, and how many years did it take to put back what they had destroyed? I liked Update 5, but there was nothing good about it that could not have been simply added to pre-CU.

Worse still was Creature Handler and bio-engineer. They took away the systems, it took two years to get something back, and when they brought it back the continued the screwjob on the veterans.

The system should have been a FULL give-back -- as a former master CH with some 20 pets in my datapad, I should have AT least been able to have one of those datapad pets IMMEDIATELY be at 90, no grinding required.

Instead they made it worse for vets. Instead of grinding up the pets as you level, you had to grind a pet up levels by killing things useless to you.

Disgusting.

I made a new character for my Beast Master and my pet levelled as I did, I like that part of the system.  Not quite as entertaining if you are already level 90 though.

Which makes the system worse than bad -- it makes it another screwjob. That's the point. It's not about YOU, it's about the entire game and its community.

Screw your long term customers, screw your business. Once again they showed there that they learned NOTHING form the NGE. This is why they can not pull themselves out of their hole and save their destroyed reputation. They show this time and again.

If you don't like what I have to say, feel free to report me.

Hate on the current game all you want. Just base your criticism in fact. That tends not to happen around here.

I left the game befor the NGE Because SOE Let Million of credits be duped On my server and i reported it and still i was ignored and the problem was left to be for well over 3 months.

There was a bug with % in the tip Fee and it was giving you 5% of your money instead of taking it. I will never trust SOE with my online game  Money and time

I built a city and had almost 1/7 of Rori mined By heavy Pumpers.

When they changed The jedi to a simple Quest i packed up my bags and never looked back.

Look up my city On bloodfin On rori Sekotan Creek
