now the nge fanbois are crying rollback due to mobs having specials!!! "there will be no rollbacks" sound familiar?
Comments
Well all i know is mob's have had specials in the NGE for about the last um I dunno 6 months..... at least.
Now I havent been paying attention so they very well could be complaining about the new AI and the dps being even to ther own which the mobs now have. Anyway.
Have a good day
There have been threats of account cancellations if Chapter 6 PvE 'difficulty' goes live. I have been waiting to say this (NGE fanboi mantra)....."Don't like it? Then quit!"
There are also concerns of finding players to actually group with on the less populated servers. If these players don't quit, then I foresee a tidy windfall of $$$ to $OE in toon transfer fees. 
18 months of simplistic, solo play is coming to an end. Too bad I couldn't say the same for the NGE.
The title of the publish coming up - Chapter 6: Working as Intended (added withthe infamous "There will be no rollback")
I can't wait for the nge fanbois to squeal like Ned Beatty.

Those people that are crying that the combat is too hard are getting flamed up the ass for it. More challenging PVE has been on the players list for awhile, so I am sure that almost everyone would agree with you (including myself) on your quote. Hell, the less whiners the better.
Being an NGE hater, I find this publish very appealing, and has brought me back from SWG retirement. I love the fact that difficulty is being increased, for that was my reason of cancelation in march. I was bored witless. And while yes, I am on a small populated a server like Valcyn, i would rather spend an hour looking for a group to hit HK with and having a challenge and excitement back.
While i wish with all my heart they would bring back pre nge, I know it will never happen, but i give kudos to deadmeat and blixtev for trying to trun around the game. Now that they have gotten rid of the stink made by Helios and his devs (i think only DevH is left, and he was a good dev during Helios' Reign of Terror), they are truly trying to bring back SWG from the depths of hell.
and with the new Beast Master system, it takes days for a good pet to be made, no more instant gratification. And they have already mentioned they will be bringing back larger groups and fixing the group xp...in my opnion, this team deserves 2 thumbs up.
SOE knows what you like... You don't!
And don't forget... I am forcing you to read this!

*NOTE: For all those who are sarcastically-inept, the POS will not come out. It was joke.

Its not that we dont get sarcasm its just that at this point we wouldnt be suprised if that really happened so its not hard to believe :P
Yeah... well, I didn't want to overly hurt the NGE fanboi's feelings with that... esepcially the ones who are sarcastically inept. Therefore, the note attached.
Well SOE is like the seasons they change no matter what anyone does or wants.If you really study the NGE and the CU there isnt a whole lotta difference between them gameplay wise..They both sucked, both were bugged to heck, and each lost a massive about of players and both had horrid GUI icons..The PVE part is looking alot like it IMO..What was the point of the NGE again? SOE's past is a roadmap to the future..They failed to change anything but the player base numbers..
Has to make you wonder why a company wouldnt want millions from us? when you figure out why SOE does the things they do LMK..But you cant fix stupid.....
NPC's more challenging again? Nice. Maybe getting rid of the xp reduction the more people you add to your group? Also nice. I'm also glad entertainers have a purpose again (not just the xp buff), and that creature handling is back in a way. I'm also glad that healers can heal and reduce the aggro they get.
I still wish the NGE never happened. I still wish they acknowledged it was trash and brought back the game I bought. Since they haven't done this though, I am glad when someone at SOE sees a glimpse of reason and puts fun things back into the game that the NGE took out.

It's very true that a majority of this was talked about during Helios time at the helm. However, that's the point: it was talked about, to quell the majority of the players who were constantly getting the Dork Lord's shaft because he was only concerned with PvP and thought PvE and roleplaying were stupid.
Also, these concepts were thought of mostly by players who posted what they wanted, and then Helios would say "Isn't this a good idea?" a month later, trying to take credit for listening to the players, while laughing at them the whole time while getting freaky with his uber commando. Helios deserves no credit whatsoever.
Now that he's gone, the things that were "talked about" are actually being implemented by Blix and Deadmeat. And doing a damn fine job of doing what everyone complained so much about wanting: a team that listened to the players.
they are more like pre cu strength in chapter 6
unless you go look you wont know will you
or you can alsways sit on here with the rest of the vets totally unaware of the exitement gripping players on test center right now
chapter 6 has transformed the game totally - i urge you to try it out
Noone is crying rollback, the new changes where creatures are harder, have had the devs being thanked.
I myself thanked them for bringing back CH in a new sexy way, I can now make my rancor stronger, aswell as attach armour to it, or have it as a mount.
So keep crying my fellow pre-cu kiddies, SWG has moved on and pre-cu has been forgotten, and you can't handle it, lol.
You cant have a rancor as mount dont know what you are smoking the only mounts will be the same ones that were mounts previously there will be no new mounts with this publish, also there are like 5 threads crying about the difficulty right now, so before you come here spewing crap out of your mouth make sure your facts are correct first.

You can still solo Krayts by kiting and running in a circle around them- read many posts about this on the O board. The strength may be better but that is still too easy. NGE=transformed. Chapter 6=another step in the right direction. It does sound like things are getting better for you guys by restoring the game with some of the old features. BTW, I won't go back to a company that screwed so many people but I hope they keep bringing back the old game so those of you enjoying yourselves have something better than what I played a year and a half ago. People who stayed through that garbage were nuts- implemented too early.
"Hurray, finally a game where I can fulfill my lifelong dream of taking emotionally dead women and finding the most financially viable means to exploit their bodies with the ultimate goal of making them Hugh Hefner's personal furniture."
