The amount of incompetence Funcom shows is beyond anything i have ever seen in any MMORPG release. They break more things than they fix and after the emergency patch on saturday they broke the OOC chat and god knows what else.

[Bug] OOC channel: I can't see all messages

 

Enjoy the read, it's really amusing.

bet it was nerfed lol

cool, mmorpg.com playing at being stock analysts again.

Consider this........people buy shares cheap (right before a mmo launch) and sell it 2 to 3 weeks after release for the highest price.

Once financial figures are released for the quarters to decemeber its not going to be very clear....

if they are that is

you can lie to the players but you cant lie to the people that give you credit when you need it.

or to the stock markets lol

maybe a few more years would have helped lol at least by then we could play it on normal systems lol

"These will be gigantic battles, and we are aiming for over 300 players to be involved in the battle simultaneously!"

taking bets on when this will be ready. Was due to come out in the weeks following the huge June content expansion - pvp, new zone etc etc

Which all goes to prove the old political adage.. if people are getting upset with your lack of follow-through, just keep on promising EVEN more.

............................................

from mid -June

Legendary battlekeeps

Already in the game your guild have the opportunity to build player cities and eventually also conquer battlekeeps. We will, of course, be improving these functionalities as well as we move ahead in the coming months. Kingship will also expand on this feature.

Situated next to the three big cities – Conarch, Khemi and Tarantia – will be something called legendary battlekeeps. Massive constructions that can be seen from inside the major cities themselves, and there will only be three of these in total in the online world – one for each capitol city. Conquering these battlekeeps will be the ultimate challenge!

Guilds will effectively have to team up with each other and become alliances if they want to have any chance of conquering a legendary battlekeep. These will be gigantic battles, and we are aiming for over 300 players to be involved in the battle simultaneously!

That also means we will be doing some technical improvements to the massive battle system to allow for this great number of players in one battle at the same time.

Wonders of the World

These battlekeeps will all have different benefits to provide the alliance that owns it, and they will all be visually very different from each other. You can customize and build upon your legendary battlekeep, just as you would with the “ordinary” battlekeeps.

Another feature we will be introducing with this upgrade is Wonders of the World. These are powerful constructions rooted deep in the identity of that nation (e.g. the “Golden Lion of Tarantia” for Aquilonia) and they look epic and magnificent. Each nation has two of these wonders, and they can be built in the legendary battlekeep for that nation.

Building these wonders is a huge effort for anyone in the alliance, and will involve a lot of team work. Once you have built the shell of the wonder in your legendary battlekeep, other guild alliances can steal it and bring it to their city – so you need to protect it!

The benefits of owning one, two or more of these wonders (can you steal all of them?) is beyond anything you can imagine, but those details are to be revealed at another time!

 

WOW what games this, im playing aoc and its not delivering im looking for something that will play like it says it will.   ROFL

Having played PreCu and CU ......  

definitely  SWG NGE is not a game for me. 

Even if they added 2 tons of content and 200 mil people playing and  paid me 1 holiday month in Hawai  I would still say it is the same rubbish of  2005-Nov -15  with  more content and the worst interface and combat system ever invented.

 I swear I have more fun at work.

 

 

 

 

come on u know u'd take the hawaii vacation the quit as soon as u got back =P.

I know i would lol

Where's the "no change" option?  People are obviously talking about it, but that's about it.

Not that I'm outright ready to believe the latest rumour.  It still seems fishy to me.  Why is the CEO of EA supposedly announcing this title, which he has apparantly said is going to be huge, yet there's no announcement at the Bioware site or the LucasArts site?   Why did LucasArts just sign up with SOE on a new Star Wars trading game that's heavily intergrated with SWG? 

With so many cries of wolf over the last few years, I'm still not so sure there's a competitor on the way for SWG.

Dude you remember the new mch stuff in the exspation that was never there then 2 weeks later bam NGE lol and no more MCH.

Sorry dude i have no faith in $OE.

they will gladly take you money and when told to turn off the servers they will and not even look back.

That's the only sure fire thing in all of this, there's undoubtedly going to be another Star Wars mmo, SWG's 5 years old, it's had 2 major "revisions" that cost it most of it's playerbase and it's development team is being used to break in new devs to be moved on to other projects. Whether you chose to believe the BioWare mmo is Star Wars is up to you, one thing's for sure though, one way or another there's going to be another Star Wars mmo.

I'm sure there will probably be another Star Wars MMO too...but will it be in a year or 10 years?
 

SWG still has a healthy number of Vet devs working on it, such as Blixtev, Shadowbrak, Swede, Loche and DevH.  The only Dev I can remember that's moved onto a different SOE game was Helios.  It's also still one of SOE's top 3 MMO's

It's also still one of SOE's top 3 MMO's
 

That one quote says so much about the state of $oE's online games.

Im sure glad i done own Sony stock.

actually you put there a point that is pertinent... we are all assuming that SOE is out of the picture in relation to this new game when in fact SOE might even be the server park supplier....

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha lol lol lol.......

that would rock for all the wrong reasons

Its called viral marketing dude.

They let a tad slip and it drives the would be players nuts then they buy the game as there is so much hipe.

The game can be good or bad don't mater to them as they get the sales the first month.

Some examples are AoC, PoTbS, Vanguard.

Then good old uncle $oE steps in and buys the failing game lol (Example Vanguard)

Really if you are looking for a TKM like build, go Melee Smuggler.

Melee Smuggler is one of the most underrated Classes in SWG at the moment. Granted you will have to do the Smuggling Missions (you do get about 3m to your melee range however by doing them) however there are a few things that Smuggler gets that does remind me of TKM.

The first is you have a chance to do snare/root with any hit. In PvP this can be a killer, as I've seen good Melee Smugglers get the hit, then pull back to 6m or so that way they are out of range of the other players Melee Hits. I've heard a few Jedi's burst out with the "omg you are cheating!"

Pistol Whip works with a Melee Weapon as well as a Pistol. I've heard Meleers get a better chance of hitting with it, when it does whomever you hit with it is rooted, unable to fire or attack, and they lose Action Regen when Pistol Whip is going. Pair this up with your random chance to get the Skull Crack hits (the hit from above) and the fact that a Smuggler has more roots and snares then we really need. As a Melee Smuggler you get something like 5 or so.

Also a Smuggler can use ANY Melee Weapon as well. So hold out till GU5 and then have some kinda knuckler made if need be.

that would be great but for one thing the combat system in this game is the worst for pvp
 

I must say its changed a lot but ill not be staying this time as i still cant use my mch  tkm or doc

last week of the 30 days coming up and im having a harder and harder time logging in

they maybe stupid but they are not crazy.......

leting $OE code and run the next swg RPG would be like giving bin Ladin a fueled 747.
