SWG had so many elements that players appreciated and loved.

It's 7 years ( SWG pre cu era ) since it was shut downed and still people talk about how they miss it.

With SWTOR's failure and the upcoming resurrection of SW, it's time to act.

Who you talking to? Lucas? SOE? Disney? The forum trollers? The lampost? Who are you demanding to make this epic SW game? 

I'm talking to the entire universe.

SWG did it best. Let me be me...    gosh!

I just wanna be a Jedi, gosh!

Actually I just wanna be a TKM/MSwordsman again, gosh!

SWG pre cu had a nice system for decay on items.

Items started at 100% and lost x amounts of % as you died/used it etc.

Electronic Arts. Mainly because they have a really great track record with mmorpgs. :D

1st reply 1st troll

this thread starts very bad

It's called sarcasm.

People are way too troll-triggerhappy and I suspect they don't even know what a troll is.

Imagine your most favorite MMORPG game ever in your head and say it exists and you play it full time every day.. And it has so much content you couldnt shake your snake at it all...Would you sub $29.99 a month to this type of game? What's the most you would pay for a monthly subscription?

Or do you think no matter how good a game is, its only worth a minimal fee?

 

 

Give me SWG pre cu and I'll sub 2 accounts in a flash.

Guess this game is done for then.

Lasted 1 year...... just LOL!

For all this time when SWG was online it got nothign but abuse on daily basis. It was one of the most hated MMOS on these forums second to WOW. And now when it is gone for good people can not stop praising it. I read how SWG even after NG was still oen of the best MMO, same people who discouraged everyone else from playing it now want it back.

I just don't get it.

You hurt the one you love the most.

Simple as.

It's a business and business is all about the money. Your ( the customer) money. A company will do anything to get your money so they will deceive you, lie to you, trick you etc in any way they can.

No surprise really.

How is it possible to fail (again) with the SW IP when it comes to a MMO???

Astonishing to say the least.

Dervish2 from SWG pre cu IIRC.

Most of the lightsaber/melee/Teras Kasi animations looked great btw.

The game always had levels, the CU just made them visible.  As a crafter hybrid, during the Pre-CU you still would have been at a disadvantage to someone that had a dual combat profession template.

The bigger problem for PvP in pre-cu and the CU was the ever increasing number of Jedi that were making their debut.  Since they were a stronger profession than the rest as more and more appeared it made PvP a rather frustrating experience for anyone that didn't want to be one. 

This technically-accurate half-truth has been debunked repeatedly ever since the Spring of 2005 when you first spouted it on the Official Forums. Pre-CU's "hidden levels" didn't affect anything but the con reading, giving you an estimate of your chances against the targetted mob with your skills and equipped weapon. CU's Combat Levels, on the other hand, directly affected the outcome of battle by imposing multipliers and divisors of damage and accuracy, based on relative CL. Not the same thing at all, and you know it.

The same multipliers existed pre-cu too, they were just achieved differently.  If you equipped a weapon you weren't skilled in, then you suffered major penalties.  If you attacked something that conned red (ie. a higher level than you) then the damage you did was much less than the damage done by someone who conned green to that same enemy.  Was it exagerated more with the CU?  Possibly.

Thanks for proven the point. As you say... in Pre-CU it was your skills, and you got different skills with different professions.

In the CU the level based multipliers was all that mattered, regardelss of what "skills" you had.

You, as a veteran player (should) know all about it, so please don't start fighting with semantics. I'm not going to put that time into a already provend and closed case.

We all know pre cu was more fun and had more freedom in the way we could play.

The CU was the first step towards the end.

SWTOR 15.11.2012 F2P

SWG 15.11.2005 NGE

The irony is almost too much.

Don't sub. It will be F2P within a year.

It's a mediocre game that will be easily forgotten.

Funny how things unfold.

I thought SWTOR was gonna be a great game. I was wrong. It's mediocre.

Got my BH to 50 and stopped playing. Started levelling some alts but got sick of the grind.

Haven't played for 6 months and probably won't be playing in the furture either.

Waiting for The Repopulation MMO.
