I think that SWG would be a better game if something was done about the combat system. I mean think about it, they are not going to bring back the old SWG that we all loved, and the nge is not all that either but I bet most players know that by now.You can see that SWG is alot diffrent and its turning more and more into a combat based game and I say if its going to be a game that focus on combat and combat is the main eye catcher for the game then atleast try and have the best combat system going today and I.M.O. the best combat system as of right now is Age Of Conan by far! I think SWG would do good with a combat system like that because you would have something like an attack skill tree and a block & dodge & perry skill tree that way you could really make your toon diffrent from every one else's toon . You could but alot of points into block and dodge and hardly any into attack tree so that would make you more of a defensive fighter & when swing your melee weapon at a guy he could push his block button & block it and you would see the sword or light saber clash when something like that ! Lets face it the nge is crap! I still love Star Wars to death but the way it is now is not fun! I only play SWG about 3 months out of a year & that because I buy game cards and get on there to see if any thing is diffrent about the game then I'm gone againfor another 7 to 9 months I look at SWG now while in combat and I see you can't even block while in combat! I mean jedi are all about sword play and there is none in SWG! jedi should be able to block another jedi's lightsaber attack but they can't instead its like which player can hit the attack button the fastes and who's heal come back around the quickest. And the saber block , I mean saber block ! come on Jedi learn to block blaster bolts before there even 10 years old they should automatticly have saber block but it should go up depending on a guys level like 10 to 20 levels the % of your saber block should increase 10 to 15 % or something. Its way too much to list or talk about whats wrong with SWG right now but I do think that since they seem to be focusing on the combat part of the game so heavly that a real good combat system like Age Of Conan would really help out SWG alot, I'm not saying that it will solve all the problems that SWG has right now but it will atleast be a big step in the right direction and maybe with something like that going for us it might take the pressure off of the other stuff that is wrong and maybe most players will over look some of the other stuff that is wrong with the game, because the world is a copy cat world and if something works for one company you always see another company jump on the band wagon and ride the same idea as long as they can or untill they think of something on there own or jumps off and rides another company's idea. |

One thing comes to mind.. Suck it! |
Your font is to huge!!! It gave me a headache and I stopped reading it, but from your title... It's terrible practice to copy another game studio's work, besides this game is dead, get over it. No 5th combat revamp will ever make SWG what it was. |

Yeah I sorry about the super big letters, but I guess your right about SWG being dead and all I was just trying to think of something that might bring it back to life but I think the only way that game game would be brought back to life is if they kill it now and start all over with out SOE !

Yeah, I agree with Hash as well. This game has been shot for nearly a year now and the idiots on the development team have no plans to even THINK about going back to the way it use to be. This was the one game that was limited to Adults and Teenagers simply because it was vast and difficult. Revamping the combat system just makes it an ordinary game, like World of Warcraft since obviously that's what it's turned into. I haven't touched the Age of Conan, but if it's revolving around combat, I have no desire to play. People play for many reasons, and repetitive combat won't satisfy much at all. You do have good motives though, I admire you for your attempts to change SWG and I'm sure the Galaxies' pre-NGE fans appreciate it as well.

If thats is so then why does Vanguard copy WOW's combat to an exact tee!?not only did they copy that but they copied the way you sell on there and do missions and every thing so I'm guessing that you can copy other games.

Yes, one more combat upgrade, why not? It's not like a CU couldn't fix everything

Well hell the game is already going down the drain fast and the only reason most of us still play it is because we hope something will happend to make it fun again. Most people say bring back the classic servers, some say bring back the CU I say why not copy the WOW or Vanguard. They seem to have it right because alot of people like WOW and I play Vanguard and the way the combat is set up on there reminds me of WOW so why not do it for SWG and see what happends. I mean they could do alot wores! Just suggestion is all.

Combat is fine. There is already manual targeting for the FPS Helios fanatics and auto aiming for those who play rpg-style, as SWG was meant to be an rpg, not a FPS. Hopefully, with Helios thrown away from development, it can get back to being an rpg. What the game needs right now is content, mobs difficulty increased to where people will actually consider a team a viable option, and fixing the bugs from beta to present. Now that group xp and camps are being put back, returning the mobs to barely soloable at least is the next logical step. I am also thankful that with Helios gone, the primary target audience of the game (pve'ers, rp'ers) won't be brushed into the gutter for the infitisimal pvp population. No more spammandos. The fact that the Restuss pvp'ers can't gank unsuspecting newbies who accidentally enter the pvp zone is a nice step that never would have happened under The Dork Lord's reign. |
