It is official. SWG is dead. The dev team has officially killed SWG in the name of progress. I loved SWG for its variety and the ability to do anything I wanted. Yes, the game could be slow and grinding could be frustrating at times, but I had fun. I had almost reached Master Shipwright a couple of days ago only to have the new enhancements become active and be given master shipwright and merchant and architect handed to me when I was forced to choose the new profession Trader to be able to continue even playing that field. What ticked me off more was the fact that if I wanted to continue this path, I lost ALL my combat abilities I had also worked on with this character, no longer could use my armor or weapons. Another character I had was a Creature Handler and there is no clear replacement for that with the 9 new professions(as in limited to the 9 new ones, you can't choose any of the old ones). So I choose what might have been closest to it and nope, lost the ability to use my weapons and armor I had again. If I had wanted that, I would have started a new character. As for the new "faster paced" game and interface, maybe the game is faster paced, but not the interface. I couldn't hardly access my harvestors to retrieve my resources, destroyed to functionality of the cammand/ability bar and remapped the keys for it also. Interface looks like my 3yr old niece designed it, very bland and bulky. Waypoints were harder to follow, and if you had more than one active, you didn't know which one you were following. To be honest, I can't name everything I dislike about the game now. It was a christmas gift 2 yrs ago and I played for a little while but quit because I was poor at the time. Started back up and have played it for over a year and feel like the game I have grown to love has rebelled and killed me. Who ever the developers talked to who said this stuff would be cool obviously didn't care about the thousands of regular every day players like me. |

NGE ruined it. I liked doing my own thing...now I can't. It's all cookie cutter, and crafter is a dead concept. Weak.
