    I'm just happy someone spelled his name Rogue_5 (the correct way), rather than Rouge_5 (the mindblowingly incorrect way, which makes him look like a cosmetic).

     

    If he was a cosmetic, he'd be much more useful than he ever was as part of the SWG development team.

     

     

    
     

    Actually, R5 was one of the better ones, not that you'd care.

    He was still one of the asses for SOE.

    
     

    By that rationale, so was Saint Raph. Was he not employed by SOE as well?

     

    Grant McDaniel was a douche bag.  It had to do with the things he did, and said, not that he was employed by SOE.  There are plenty of former SOE employees that aren't douche bags, but Grant McDaniel isn't one of them.

  • If you get a chance, ask the DCU folks how much the massive turnover in development team members has affected the product.  They're on at least lead designer #4 and have been bleeding developers since the start of the project.  The only stability the game has had is on the Warner side, primarily with Jim Lee being attached from the start.

    I expect the finished game to be a complete mess.

    Last reply in this topic, then it's dead for me.

    How isn't this a dead horse?  How many times are people going to cry about their beloved SWG?  I loved it, played it, it got butchered... I moaned, I moved on.

    What else is there to do?   DEAL!

     

    The NGE was just the result of a larger problem with SOE.  I don't view the discussion over what was done to SWG as the entire conversation.

     

     

    oh i dealt with it long ago. i no longer play mmos. i refuse to give money to companies that make the same old sh*t. i do have hope that better days are on the horizon though in titles like fallen earth and earthrise.

     

    I don't mind the same old shit, as long as it is well done and fun for a bit.  I avoid SOE related MMOs, but I have played many of the other MMOs on the market.  I haven't stuck with any of them for more than three months, so I don't think it is a good thing that the market is being flooded with them.  I hope Fallen Earth gets released and is good, since it looks really interesting and refreshing (although the FPS combat doesn't hold much appeal for me, since I don't like FPS combat in MMOs).

    I have enjoyed pretty much every Bioware game I've played.  Their MMO probably won't hold my interest for the long term, but I'm not upset by the fact that it is not going to be what SWG used to be.

    This probably is old news, but as of today you still have the mass of haters of SoE for SWG.

    Now lets just get everything straight here SoE created SWG an amazing game way back in pre CU and CU. Of course though every game has it's whinners and people whined about the game like why are jedi so powerful or we want to be jedi! or all that crap about jedi. So what did SoE do, they actually listened to their customers who were whinning and created the NGE right? well the people who worked hard as hell in swg pre CU and CU were screwed. Of course NGE wanted to give them something for their hard work l=so they gave them vet rewards, elder cloak and a title, but that wasn't enough for some of the elders, ya of course almost everyone missed pre CU and CU but there were some elders who were uterly pissed( do you blame them?)

    So now SoE has this game called SWG right? still full of bugs and on the other hand they have a huge mass of people quit the game, others just hating and hating on them and they have a choice to make, we either try and get those customers to come back by adding more content or we work on the bugs and risk losing even more people because they're busy working on the games bugs and not the content. Well they probably needed the money of the customers so they can continue the game so they went to the customers. They added content on the game and have been trying to increase they're player base ever since. Ya, they've gotten some the player base back but they still have a game full of bugs. So SoE is pretty much screwed.

    Now if it was up to me I would open up two types of servers, a CU and a current one. SoE has been working on SWG though and they have made it a little better but lots of people just aren't satisfied with what they have been doing. So how much people still aren't satisfied with what they are trying to do to help the gamers and actually tried looking at it from both sides of the story? Go ahead and post what you think about the subject or atleast vote on the poll.

    Now i'm not on anyone's side but I don't like the NGE and I prefer CU or pre NGE atleast. Also post what you think about what SoE is doing with swg today.

     

    The NGE was what the players wanted .They showed this by leaving the game and depleting subs.Many players expressed there concern with game ideas and asked for some kind of change,especially one that made some things easier.

    The few core players that started all the SOE hate from the NGE are the real ones to blame.The rest of the players that wanted the change can lay blame and wonder if they should ever forgive the others who mocked NGE.Those others started such a ruckus they drove the game further into obscurity  by spreading rumours and flaming forums.Eventually there removed subs and BS in the forums had everyone wanting to leave.That kind of stuff would make any game community lose subs and ruin any chance of new players wanting to join such a ruckus.

    SOE could have just left the game alone and let subs continue to fall.This way those same lamers could rant in the forums that SOE did nothing,so once again it would be there fault.

    OR....they could have accepted changes realizing it was an attempt to reclaim a dwindling sub base and hope for the best.

    This whole fiascal would be exactly like SOE now offering the complete game to returnees for free[EQ2].The vets who paid for all the expansions could whine and complain because others are getting it for free,but the reality is EQ2 is dying badly and it is best for the game.That is just common sense unless you would rather a game dies or the servers are empty,as long as you got your own way and the game is the way you wanted it to be.This the feeling i get from the NGE whiners,they would have rather had the game die or play on empty servers.

     

    I guess we can add 'The NGE made the game great and it would have succeeded if those awful players would have given it a chance!' to the list of NGE canards.  It was hilarious when John Smedly used it in an interview after it had become clear that the NGE wasn't going to be a success.  It is not as funny now  A bit sad though...
