"Whats that on your arm"
"Crab claw"
"Oh, cool!"

Well when i started playing i was expecting a crap load of glitches, bugs, and broken missions but after 5 days im hooked, if you a star wars fan (which you kinda have to be) you'll love this game.

 

Now the game has some animation bugs and yes SOE is messing with the proffesions a bit, but they are just balancing things out and its working. No missions ARE NOT BROKEN! i have not run into one mission that was broken. graphics make me feel like im really on naboo and tatooine. gamplay, leveling system, fighting, everything feels like the real star wars world.

 

Just 1 posotive opinion, its all about personal prefference, all opinions expressed are mine and mine alone.

The missions are some of the worst I have ever seen in an MMO.  The grind in SWG today is unbearably boring and empty.  I'm glad you enjoy it, that's your opinion, but the missions are dreadful and the servers are empty.

I appreciate the input, although the servers are only empty in some places, you have to find a hang out spot which there are quite a few on each planet. As for the missions they aren't so boring if you have friends to play with.

It really depends on the mission , Some yes very lame . Others have been quite fun , although I have seen better polish and imagination.The quests in place now are something that really could have helped old school SWG ,That goes for PVE in general in NGE .Although I severely miss the old loot/weapons systems from pre-cu , not to mention the combat and my fencer/pist/doc .

I haven't tried PVP (haven't reached 90 yet ) , Which is my main focus in MMO's , I do expect it to be better executed/balanced than AOC However.

What level are you now ? I'm level 87 due to grinding bits and pieces here and there during various vet trials.I've really only done some of the new  85-90 content , As for the rest I have no clue .

And As I said it depends on the mission some have been horribly long and boring .

It's that much like AOC?

Get-over-it.  I was on here a month ago reading these boards and last month you were reiterating the same old tired crap you and the rest of you mouth breathers are now.

I was there too pooky., from first day to NGE.   I manage life fine without saying anything about the game either way.   

But I'm going to say something just this once.  I tried it a while back and the jabba themepark/Legacy part was down right boring and never friggin ending from open world random spawn to the similiar.   However, I decided to give it a whirl with my free month and they re-vamped the jabba quests and they aren't like sitting here listening you you old whiney hags anymore.

 :P

You are special

Glad you love SWG!!
I wish you all the fun possible!
I still love SWG...I don't care what the NGE or other players say
I would also say that bugs are EXTREMELY minimal in my experience.
What couldn't be better?? A Star Wars MMO!!

You'll find the community is very fun-loving for the very most-part,
And PvP (and) PvE, and everything else is very fun.
It's really one of those games where there's a LOT of endgame and fun leveling
You will ALWAYS have something to do in that game...
Even after 4 years of playing, one day I can feel like I don't want play 10 features of content in SWG, and still have loads of fun. There is no other game that has impressed me like that.
Hope this enourages you and others reading to keep playing!! :D

My ONLY and only complaint would ever be graphics.
It's not that they're BAD, they just aren't NEW, you know?

PS. It's not a grind fest, don't listen to others. The Legacy Quest (questline that takes you from landing on Tatooine to level 50ish) may seem like a grind to some people who roll thru it in less than a week, and you'll have plenty of content to go around leveling. Even if you want to resort to "Grinding", it's actually really not that bad at all. I had lots of fun with it ( solo RPer here :P )! And it's not like it's not rewarding...at the VERY LEAST!!

What about the other 40 levels following Legacy?

All you have as options are your ten terminal missions daily, a possible theme park, grinding, and Kash quests.

Once your Kash quests are dried up, you are grinding until you can go to Musty.

Once your Musty quests are dried up, you will be grinding until you can do Azure Cabal.

Once Azure Cabal is done you are limited to ten term missions and grinding to finish up whatever is left to hit CL90.

Telling prospective players, or anyone actually, that the game is not a grindfest when it is pretty common knowledge the content after Legacy stagnates and becomes nearly non-existent is a diservice to anyone interested in trying the game or returning.

There wouldn't be threads asking for a continuation of Legacy constantly if it were not needed.
