Getting back into SWG

gattm99

I played SWg on the first month or two of release and didn't like it much. I'm sure a big problem was that I never got out of the noob stage, but...

My biggest memory from that game was running for ten minutes to get to a dumb mission to get killed, then doing it over again.

Plus I don't think I could ever figure out how to heal battle wounds or something, and I remember wandering around these huge empty cities.

From what I understand the game has gotten better, since then, and it was never really ment to be a, go do missions kind of game anyway. I keep hearing how good the crafting system is and I think that is the direction I am wanting to go in my next game if EVE doesn't continue to hold my direction.

What really looks interesting to me is the JLS expansion. I've been playing EVE recently and I like that game but it can be kind of boring, I would really like to actually fly a star ship and do some actual dog fighting.

Seems like with the expansion if you got sick of mob hunting or whatever you do on the ground, you could go to space and play a completely different game

So I am thinking about picking up the game again and the expansion and trying it out. Do you think I will be more satisfied this time around.

PS:

SWG = no more running if you dont want ... many riding animals, many FAST cool vehicles, private shuttles in player cities , private starships for personal planet to planet travel, waiting times at shuttleports and starports down from 10 minutes to 1 min .... you will like it

I definitely think you will have more fun this time around since the issues you experienced have gone through some big changes. I do have a few cautions though:

1) DO not be a crafter...there are a bunch of things up in the air right now concerning the SWG re-write that will coincide with the release of the Wookie Expansion.

2) Pick it up NOW and start attaining levels, the new Combt re-write will make leveling MUCH more difficult.  If your goal is to fight the high-end game content, it will be IMPOSSIBLE unless you master ATLEAST 1 elite combat profession.

3) Join a guild.  Without trustworthy companions in the game, the high end mob hunting will be quick.  You will go hunting and you will DIE quickly.  Grouping is a NEW essential part to most of the interesting content in SWG, much more then before.

4) Join NOW to attain credits.  The new crafting changes are requiring crafters of Armor and Meds, lifelines in this game, to collect exponentially more resources to make single items.  The prices of these necessities will be greatly increased when the RE_WRITE is released so start gathering money now.
