There is quite a bit more in this particular patch so do follow the link for more of interest to all players.

Nice to see that they're still dealing with issues from beta here nearly five years later (buffs across sub-server boundaries, for example).

lol

I love how a game that's 80 years old is on "Game Update 2"

haha... god, this game is just a Job Resume beefer for the devs on its staff that're looking to move higher up.

They still haven't fixed the economy or Jedi, which is why I quit. A player starting over with a new character doesn't have a chance to afford anything he should be able to afford as he levels, such as ships and parts. Jedi still cannot perform basic Jedi powers, such as force pull. There isn't any distinction between a light and dark Jedi, since they all can use the same powers. There isn't a lightsaber, defender, or healer/buffer specialization tree. You still cannot choose which lightsaber hilts you want to use or crystal color you want to use if you want to be competitive, instead you are stuck choosing between a handful of named color crystals and hilts. They still haven't introduced a way for Jedi to wear robes at CL90 and still be competitive, they instead are stuck with the JMC or Elders Robe.

Sorry, but this game is still crap after GU2, so I won't be resubbing. I really miss the game too.

I agree took them 4 years to push me away canceled both of my accounts last month.

more veteran rewards?

Gotta keep the 7 suckers that have been there from the start and still play happy.

would you play if it was free then people who are angry???

No time to be bothered with the game anyomre tbh.

It's not a bad product. I think it has become easier for the vets to hate the game then actually try it with an open mind.

Buffs across sub-server boundaries? What is that?

Anyway, I can't see myself playing anymore after 4 years. But after they finally show munitions some love I believe that this game will be worth recommending again finally.

if it was completely free i might log into it a couple times a month but that would probably just be when i'm bored or my server is down.

I'm really sorry, that after having had the superior product, that I am unable to get into something that ain't half the quality of what I had.

Open mind ain't got anything to do with it.

As for this update, it's made alot of Medics happy :)  The new buff/debuff display makes seeing what's happening to your character alot easier and certainly makes my role as a Medic easier.  Basically, if I see one of my group members has icons in their Debuff area I know straight away that I need to tend to them.

Good grief , I bet they buy lip stick in 44 gallon drums for this pig  

For the love of God, just let this die already!!   Shut it all down or make the code public domain already, SOE will never get another penny from me as long as I live.

....but pre jedi SWG was the best game ever, makes me sad that nothing has ever taken its place.  Wow did for a while but it needed vast unexplored land that you could build houses and towns in....

Even if the game was free, it would still COST me time and energy to play. It may sound like I am angry, but I'm not. I just don't like poor games.

You will however continue to speak about the game as if you played, cared, or had any input besides what you know from 2+ years ago. See what I'm saying? You're wasting your life; you and people like salvaje. You can't do anything but focus on how angry your are at pixels.

It's a good game. Going back into it thinking it's easier now gets you in a lot of trouble. I bet half of you people that re-sub for a day had no clue what to even do, and so you got frustrated and cancelled again. Don't judge people for not wanting to spend their fights spamming dots or dizzy/kd.

Superiority is a matter of perspective. Yours is that pre-cu was superior........

His perspective, my perspective and at least 200k others who told $OE to go shove it. Don't think for a moment that we are the minority, the ones who won't pay for a gutted, sub-par reflection of a once great game. It is the current playerbase that is the "vocal minority".

The large majority walked.

Time; being much more important than money, is what you are spending now.

The one commodity you will die trying to get more of, is being wasted on pixels.

You can give no interpretation of what is lacking from the game now, can you? You can only give your self-righteous jibber-jabber as if anyone in the real world cares how you were treated over a video-game.

If you don't like it, then the best thing you can do is leave it alone completely. I'll still be here to say that SWG is a good product. It's shortfalls are the lack of attention to weaponsmiths and the server populations where people have moved on to newer games.

But I defy any one of you "vets" to do anything worth while in the game now and be successful; then tell me you didn't have any fun doing it. No one owes you anything.

I played pre and post CU and have no particular rant to vent.. I am a fan of SOE through endless hours of fun in EQ2 but I just think that age is catching up with SWG.

I am glad they are still supporting it for the player base that stills enjoys it but I wonder how long it can continue with all the constant triple A new releases competing for the fan base and without a major graphical overhaul.

I tried resubbing a couple of months ago and it just felt a little bland.

No. I'm not playing because the price is too high, because hell, I am usually subscribed to two MMORPG's. I won't play SWG, because it is a bad representation of the Star Wars Universe. As a Star Wars fan, I would never touch a bastardized version of Star Wars. The fact that there are quests, levels, and classes don't bother me. It is the fact that the classes are a poor representation of the actual professions, the quests are just grinding quests with no effort to hide the fact that they are meant to be grindy, there is only 1 way for a person to advance through quests and even that way has gaps where you need to grind, and for a game that is item centric, it only offers a few items worth anything, so everyone looks alike at the end. Plus the economy is horrible.

Did you not see the last 3 movies...The whiny brat that is to become Darth Vadar, the micro organisms that are really what the force is, the fact that Darth has no father (cough **Jesus**cough Born again**) the Jar Jar bullcrap, the list of how GL crapped on this series is near endless! Complain about the way they went with this game but, man don't say their version of Star Wars is worse than GL's steaming turd pile.

Considering that GL is the deciding factor of what Star Wars is and what it isn't, you don't really have much right to say what the pre-quals should have been. Last time I checked, GL invented Star Wars and had the entire story envisioned. So like it or not, these 6 movies is what Star Wars is "officially."

You sound like you are just trying to fit in with the rest of the crowd when you talk about Anakin being a whiny brat, midiclorians, and Jar Jar. Do you have any original opinions...something not stolen from the bandwagon of haters? I happen to think that Anakin properly portrayed a troubled teenager, which he was. Midiclorians was a good explanation of where the force came from. What did you expect, magic? Yes, Anakin didn't have a father, what is wrong with that? Do you think that Jesus has a patent on that and can't be used in a fictional setting? Yes, Jar Jar was goofy and annoying, but you hate him? Why, do you hate every race that is different than you? You see, there really isn't a very good logical reason for someone to hate the first 3 Episodes of Star Wars that can't be argued against intelligently, because all the reasons against the first 3 Episodes are based around unintelligent and immature knee-jerk reactions.

At any rate, you know SWG is a bastardized version of EP 4-6, even if you don't want to take EP 1-3 seriously. A Jedi who can use lightning, but can't perform a force pull, yeah that isn't bastardized. Or how about everyone running around with the same named crystal and hilts? Sounds bastardized to me. Last I heard, Knights found their own crystals and created their own lightsabers. Yeah, I know it is just a game, but I am not a game designer and I can think of better ways to develop a Star Wars MMORPG. In fact, read the official forums where all the suggestions have been made for Jedi. All of them have been agreed upon as being better than what currently is in game. The Jedi community has been very vocal about how their profession has been ignored since the release of the NGE and how it can be improved.

I understand that SWG has a loyal following and I don't wish for it to close down just because I don't like the game. I understand that SOE is responsible for this, but I don't wish for them to fail. SOE has the right to do what they want to their game, as I have the right to unsubscribe when I don't like the product anymore. But when the discussion comes up, you better believe I will voice my opinion on this issue, because that is the purpose of forums.

Thanks

Your first statement is the answer to the rest of your post.  LucasArts/Film is the deciding factor on what is Star Wars and what isn't.  If it's in the game, then it's something that has been approved by the Lucas companies.  For better or worse, LucasArts has openly stated that they're prepared to bend the rules of continuity for SWG on certain things, such as Jedi.  The LA producer of SWG mentions this in a recent interview on Startics

it is a very good game and worth to play

Fixed.

So $OE is rearranging the deck chairs again.... nice.
