Well we all vets here and like all of us i loved pre cu and cu was OK and now i decide to try the NGE since i never played it and this is my report on it
- the game is playable but does have many bugs and lag is a issue on heavy populate areas like restus.
- I do enjoy the game mechanic to a point.
- lack of profession diversity is a big deal hybrid are not allow anymore. that is a dump
- Y you want to be a Jedi anymore. In restus u will get kill at least u are in a group.
- I don't think vets should have the clock or certain skills that would not make them equal to the new Jedi.
- An last the servers are empty and like for example the new imp theme park can not be done at least u are on one of the 3 medium populated it server like bloofin or bria.
So i came to my sense and i will not stay in SWG due to lack of everything a MMOrpg player look for in a game that have to be payed to play.
Thanks

I just don't see how people can still be playing the game when it's sooo buggy and below par. I'd rather play polished fun single player games rather than waste $15 a months on pure buggy crap. The problem is SWG has had 3game systems dumped on it and the devs are lost in all the crappy code based on a very bad game engine. It's a IP from LA who ruined the game and both them and SOE constantly lied to the community and ripped us off. Star Wars Galaxies was never a good game and it was released a complete mess and somehow they managed to make it even worse as time went on. It looks like now however SOE are wanting to slowly reduce funding for the game like Planetside and have it lurk in the dark while they work on their new projects....
SWG has no future and if you want a game like it then tough crap cause theres nothing... maybe Eve Online when Walking in Stations comes.
i am completely agree with you on the buggy thing but we can take that the pre Cu and the CU were a pretty stable system and the content and diversity in profession was a plus there. That was the main thing that keep us playing the game.
Future? its been going for over 4 years now and the population is growing. Granted, some servers grow faster than others and rolling a toon on an unpopulated server is not a good thing to do. Do me a favor and load up SWG tonight and if you can, create a new character JUST to check the populations on the server. WIll probably be a heavy and several mediums....
Believe me, there are a lot of people still playing and enjoying this game

SWG doesn't have any content and the only reason we played before is because we could constantly evolve our characters and do different things as we wanted. Now however theres none of that and because theres no content the only thing to do is go PVP but the PVP isn't fun because it feels like a poorly made FPS and it doesn't amtter where you shoot because aslong as you haveyour crosshair over the target the bullets will follow them....
All the dungeons and caves feel soo poorly made with the same 1000 cave layouts and the same bunker layouts. Every place you seem to go looks the same and like it's all pre generated and theres no epic feel like WOW gives you with them well made raids.
Another problem is SWG isn't Star Wars and if you wanted to play cause you loved the movies then theres really no point ebcause it has no Star Wars in it. I want to blow up the Death star with a bunch on my mates... oh no i can't. I want to go see Yoda or Fight Darth Vader..... no i can't. I want to see princess leia and do quess for her involving destroying a star destroy or something... can't. The game didn't even release with Space FFS thats how non star wars it really was because wasn't space the main part? lol.
I think the most Star Wars this game has ever had is jabba's palace.
I hope if they ever make a SWG2 that they do it right for Star Wars fans.

I tried playing the game the other week with the 21 vet return thing and the game hasn't changed. Theres still hardly anyone playing and it's still a buggy game with no content, the only difference is the talent tree type thing and the CH thing which we had before. So they took out features and now they're putting it back in calling it new content?
I don't understand how 2 years has passed since the NGE and the game hasn't changed.
The reasons that over 200k players cancelled and have NOT returned has been fairly well examined on this forum. So just a quick poll....Why do current players continue to play? What do you believe?

yeah that is true but one toon is not a populated server. Populated was back them on cu or pre cu when u could not walk in dantooin or Mustafar think about the game have to change or merge the server to be able to grow again at a very slow pace. I dont think is dead yet just need to regroup but with less server so player can actually group and interact. Boost the economy that would be a part of merging the servers.

Just roll a toon...yeah, to see that there are players elsewhere. Just forget your elder toons, rewards, other items and go through the painful legacy quests & grind a couple of times with new toons. Don't forget you should have the expansions if you want to level the toons within your lifetime. Or go ahead and fork over $$$ to transfer them to a server that has a population. All this to still find that the NGE is still the NGE.....$OE should at least allow all toons FULL transfers (data pad items/rewards) to other servers for FREE....after all, they caused the ghost servers with the NGE.

According to above chart, Chilastra would be considered a medium server, I guess. But 509 players, including alts, on an entire server is medium? I remember when Kauri had 500 players in the GCW also, and it wasn't that long ago. Pre C6CD for sure tho.

I completed the quests on Mustafar in one week and i've already completed the JTLS quests and the Kah quests. I also completed the legacy quests after the NGE in a day or so....
Don't get me wrong i'd love for SWG pre cu to come back cause i liked the system it was based on. However i wish'd that system was a original IP owned by SOE so it never went the direction it did due to LA. I'd have much prefered to play a pre cu game original sci-fi IP and a proper Star Wars mmorpg on seperate subscriptions/games.
