I've also been thinking of trying this game, but from what I understand it's hard to catch up. It seems only logic to start a fresh server now when they market eve as much as they do, on gamespot etc.

It was much better then the boring game we have now... much much better. Think if it had been worked with and polished.

Considering how genuinely boring this game has become, they should start up some classic servers asap.

I would stay away from this game for one simple reason.... it's boring.

You can grind all the way up to level 10 on n00bie island (Tansaari Point Station) before you head to Tatooine for even MORE mindless quest grinding via the monster that is the Legacy Quest series.

As others have stated, talk to Han Solo and he'll get you off the station and plop you down right at the entrance to the Mos Eisley starport.

Ah yes the Legacy Quest series...where you will meet Star Warsy and Iconic characters like Skaak Tippers, Mummers and Rogue Cor-Sec!

 

Wait...what movie were those in again?

After reading the April 1 newsleter it feels like listening to a guy that is excusing himself all the time... pathetic....

I think SOE should give Obraik his own affiliate link since he is promoting this game like there was no tomorrow.

Why not make a chapter for traders and smugglers instead? Make them important for other players. Make other professions rely on smuggler and traders to get their stuff. This chapter seems more like a chapter for small children.

Chapter 5 was dedicated completely to crafters and entertainers.  Chapter 6 had a good amount of content for crafters as well.  Chapter 7 is also meant to include new cotnent for crafters both from the Heroics and the Collections system.

 

I have to admit, I do find it rather amusing that every anti-SWG person feels they need to have a go at trying to run this Chapter down and it hasn't even been released yet 

The chapters dedicated to crafters and smugglers was appalling and was nothing but a cheap rush job. The smuggler chapter with the mini-games made me cancel my subscription.

Not that bad idea. It's my character that makes me resub from time to time. I think I will follow your example.

They have added consumables to all the crafters I made 700 million credits since chpt 6, Crafting seems fine to me!

I'm not kdding Crafters, can also rev-eng looted items the best you can make is a triple +35, Luck, Agility, Stamina they have made crafters viable again after the last two chapters.

Check it out!

 Looks like I will be heading to kashykk for some more leveling.

And that's where you will quite the game again. It's just so boring on kashykk (even legacy quests are more entertaining) and since there is no other way of lvling there is no reason to keep playing the game.

I really believed that SWG was it's way back but before re-subbing I decided to check out the official forum. All I see is posts about how bad the game is. Lots of people whining and talking about bugs and how smugglers still can't smuggle for other players etc. Sounds like a really broken game. I guess there is no point hoping any more.

When I was playing pre CU I leveled two characters from combat level 1-80 and had two professions in one week or less.  The key was killing bols non stop and klinkets(whatever they where called) near the Mining outpost... I think that was Endor.  Anyway, I have read a couple of reviews of  people complaining  how NGE allows people to level too fast.  I can see what they're complaining about as far a leveling the Jedi tree.  I mean the reason I was so pissed off at NGE was because I spent 4.5 months grinding the Jedi crap and I was almost done and then the next patch people could become Jedi just with one click.  So, as far as raising combat level vs. PRE CU and NGE I don't think that has changed in a grinding sense.

That's just what I have experienced.  I could be wrong now because maybe SOE borked the leveling system even more.  I don't know.  I haven't played this game since they released NGE.

BUT a system that makes it a little bit harder for Jedi would be nice.
