Not surprised by this... The developers don't have the ability or resources to deliver a full-scale Hoth, or even a version with PvP... This is the best they can come up with.
Apparently the only things the developers *can* deliver are endless collections and cookie-cutter instances. It cracks me up when I see requests for a new expansion on the official forums. Like SWG is ever going to see another expansion...
That image is sick and wrong... I do not think I need to clarify which one I am referring to.
Hoth as a PVP planet would have rocked. Obviously not going to happen.
The only argument that I see vets here post that bothers me is all the bragging about 300k plus subs...
Seriously, any MMO with the name Star Wars should have done much better than it ever has... pre-cu cu or nge.
Just think... how many subs would they have had if they had actually taken the time to make sure the game was ready for release? If it had mounts/vehicles/player cities/ space BEFORE being put out.
If the skill boxes had not been filled with broken crap. If the quests had all actually worked. IF THEY HAD TAKEN A STAND ON JEDI AND STUCK TO IT.
I am happy that hoth is coming out in some form. I do not think it will increase sub numbers at all. SOE did a terrible thing with the NGE, but if you could remove some of the film from your rose colored glasses, you would see they also did a terrible thing to the SW IP by releasing an unfinished buggy game.
If you recall the game did not exactly get warm reviews when released...
All of that aside, I would still love to see a classic server--- especially if it included the newer improvements like viable faction armor and instances like the ISD (which really is like a better version of the vette) and hoth.
