Hmmm.. first post about how players should come back to swg?

All the change in the world to the SWG game wont help..I played SWG from beta, over 2 years in total, change is good in some ways, but the Nazi style tactics of sony wrecked this game, too many subscribers left, most of the euro servers are deserted and full of ghost town player cities.

I really enjoyed swg and liked some of the changes, but what has killed the game now is the lack of players...Many nights i played and felt like i had the whole server to myself.

The changes to combat didnt cause folks to leave, it was the changes to crafting..

1000's left when crafting was nerfed.

I was present on the SOE forums as people were crying out to ask why the devs want to do this. I am led to believe they just want everyone to be a combat profession.. and with giving the entertainers ablity to fight.

Ok, read your first sentence and tell me what is wrong there?

Fun again? It should have never of stopped being fun and if they had actually decided their customers were more then lab-rats it would STILL be fun and the way it was. Either Pre-CU or Post-CU/Pre-NGE. I don't really care which but the NGE should of never happenned.

It's irrelevant what happens or what they do to the game at this point. What they did to the community was unnacceptable and there is no going back. I am quite sure my feelings on that are shared by most the vets, especially the ones that played longer then me.

It's your fault for playing it.

And his post is just a forum post. It's your fault for reading it.

I'm a first week vet. 9 professions will NEVER be fun. The most enjoyable part of SWG was setting up a template that fit your play style and was unique(ish). I was a first gen MBH (MMarks, MScout req) and it was great to see the mixture of support skills people picked up to match their playstyle. Yes the original game was involved and a bit complicated but that's what made it so great... there were so many factors to consider.

The NGE insults me as a player and as a previous customer. I'd not stupid SOE, dont treat me like I am.

LOL didn't all the people in charge pretty well say smart people were not their target market, they are after the stupid people .

I would rather have a hose shoved up my ass.

Although unpleasant, and not something I would care to repeat, at least having a hose put in my ass with the water turned on would have SOME sort of benefit to my well being.

Take your single post account and put it where that hose belongs.

lol..We did, that's why we are all here and not posting this on SOE's forums.

And to give you a taste of your own medicine, if you like the game so much than stop trolling the SWG rumor mill here and go and play the game you love.

Player Bounties? for what? Jedi is a starting prof now. As if melee newb Jedi was not bad enough, now they will be hunted. Capital ships were first talked about last year at the fan fest. (I wonder how many people will be there this year, or will they just cancel?) Hardcore as it was pre CU and pre NGE? So are you trying to tell us there is a roll back coming? If there is I would not consider this the work of the Dev team, but the Dev team finally admitting it messed up.

I find it suspicious that you only have one post. Except for the blatent lies in the post, I would think you are an SOE or SWG employee.

Clearly this has been proven wrong by recent statements from Smedley himself. Fact is, the Execs are working harder to put spin on things than the devs are at fixing things.

PreCU or kill the game. That is the only choice.

Lair Lair Lair Pant on Fire.

This game is very very awesome!

PvP was working well in front of my eyes, and then a storm came into town so I went into a building and no load screen! I could go on and on.

How about landing on a station and actually being able to then walk around in it? And I thought EVE was good?

CoH has got good combat but it has such repetitive missions but SWG is not repetitive at all.

And by the complaining I thought the combat was going to be like NWN or something, but it is very much where you use a good amount of twitch skills like CoH.

With a lot of games going the way of small cities and instanced missions thank goodness for SWG.

And This Game world is what Online is all about for me, big and tactically explorable and SWG has got it.

I am bad at writing my thoughts but man oh man this game rocks! I never could of had imagined how good this game is after reading forum posts about SWG on the web. I real hope to see every one back and having a great time again, this game could be still 10 time worse and still be better then most anything out. This MMORPG is truly Old School/New tech not New School/take the short cuts like in other so called MMORPG's where you in in one small little town.

SWG has got it all! AWSOME, Good job!  

I also like the missions, they are good stories and feel natural and not repetitive.
 
I love how there are different missions geared towards the dirrerent job paths.
 
I also saw a good amount of grouping in missions and people in covert operations like base raiding missions eith eachother.
 
It is cool how I got my own ship and can modify it. Seems lots to do.
 
I'm sure I will get into a group soon after I get to know my way around.
 
My Brother wants to run a town and rival other groups so if they try to come into the town the ones who live in his town will comence to destroy them.
 
My goal is to get one of those 4 level homes, how cool is that? Lots to do.
 
And EVE is also a great game but you stay inside the ship all the time, bummer...
 
And CoH is Great but thos missions are just one after the other repetitive...realy.
 
And I do not mine seeing Jedi in game because all the Star Wars Films seem to be told from the side of the Jedi anyways or the Sith or somthing anyways.
 
I am a Bounty Hunter and it is cool and I FEEL like a bounty hunter too...
 
And SOE yes I love the Wide Open Feel, Keep it comming Yes.  Good Job, keep it all comming, I am exstatic with how fun this is.
 
I realy have to thenk KatOR I, I finished it and it was awsome and I learned a lot about Star Wars and it was what mostly made me play SWG finaly. I think now it is more accsessable to younger people but still, I am 38 and I don't need to micro manage to enjow a game.
 
EVE is a micro managing game among other thing and a great game but staying in the ship and all that you can't do just is no good with me any more, I played for 4 months.
 
I think as I'm playing here that the game does not feel like a kids game and I could see people having a hard time figuring out what to do but at least it is not a micro mange type of thing.
 
Still, there is much compkication I see.
 
The best games I ever played were EVE and CoH and I only could stand playing them for no more then 4 months. EVE to slow and micro and CoH repetitive. But it took me 4 months to think those things.And If I played a game for over a year it would have to be realy great behond great for me. So we shall see BUt I can already tell I will be here longer then I was with CoH or EVE at the verry least.
 
And if they made CoH and EVE's leveling easyer to sweat choosing what powers when you end up pretty much with what your gonna get any ways, that would have been fine with me too.
 
 
P.S. I did not realise there are actual missions for entertainers, that is actualy cool. I went to player own houses and guilds and they had vendors in side were you could buy there stuff like star ships. I found them from the Bizzar tarminals. The fighting is actualy more twich based now and better. Etc... Etc... Sice I have been playing it has been a lot better then I ever thought it whould be. and been getting better.

P.S. IMO Star Wars was alwase from the point of vew of the Jedi and the Jedi was not meant to be a character in the back ground.

The Jedi was Meant to be a main character anyways.
