At the end of the day mate I speak my mind and I say it how it is, don't like it don't read it. I'm sure Obraik took it with a pinch of salt much as I did as these are only forums on the web and I very much doubt he takes them seriously unlike alot of other people.

Once again a SOE Hater that ignores all the changes regardless of what they are because he poked his eyes out because he wanted to be so blind. He just likes to spread biased news that all is bad at SWG.
Pardon me, if I wanted biased news from a Neanderthal I'd travel back in time and move to Europe.

Something with the words Pot, Kettle and Black comes to mind...
SOE knows what you like... You don't! And don't forget... I am forcing you to read this!
I am not sure what all these posts are about. I am from the pre-cu and I left at the nge. Now the only thing I hear is: come back, SWG is getting better. It is getting better from what? We had almost everything at the beginning and they took everything away from us at the nge. Now they are saying that it is getting better, it's not, they just put back a little bit of what we had at the beginning.
SWG = 90% CU = 50% NGE = 10%
Every Publish they will add = 10% of what we had at the biginning, do the math, it will take a while before you get to what we had.
So please, do us a favor, come back to post when it is like Pre-Cu not before. I think you guys did not understand that we do not want to pay anymore for testing. 6 months of NGE and they are still changing/adding stuff, that shows me that NGE is still not ready to be on live server. By the time it will be like it was before, I will be long gone to other MMo and SWG will be outdated.
Get a life you freaking Gamer.....no no, you don't understand, I'm a Gamer, I have many lives!!
Originally posted by Dessano I loged in on TC2 and its a blast. Also I noticed today several posts from Vet players that are actualy like the new chnages and they are coming back strong. Woohooo. I BOW before DEVS, they are goind in right direction and I personlay think this is reburth of SWG. For those of you too busy bitching to pay attention, I think we should take notice of TH, and the rest of the Dev team who have been putting so much dedication back into our game. The future is looking quite positive, and I look forward to the things to come with great anticipation. So here is just a little something that I want to point out: Weapon Damage. This is awesome. This change alone goes a long way towards making weaponsmiths useful again. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot more to be done, but this is a big step in the right direction.
- Combat Speed. This is a tremendous improvement over the old system. The jury's still out on whether it's right where it needs to be, but I have to say that it felt a whole lot better than what we had before. I felt like each shot actually meant more altogether and I wasn't nearly as focused on just doing as much damage as possible as fast as possible. I found myself doing more snare kiting and generally using more of my specials than I previously would have in PvE.
- NPC AI/Difficulty. This is great. To take down an elite I need to have a group now. It's about time that we made it so the majority of the game can't be soloed. There's still some tweaking needed I think, but overall I like the challenge level a lot more than what we had previously, where I could just blast through legions of normal NPCs without really worrying about it. The days of mindless, diablo-style wading through your enemies are hopefully coming to an end.
- Target Highlight. It's not target lock, which I would have preferred, but it does fix the noncombat problems with the original system so in that it's a good thing. I had trouble using it effectively in combat to mark the target I wanted to track, but that may just be me not being used to it. Overall I'd say it dose really help combat much, and it was sorely needed.
- Postures having meaning again. It's about time! I think the benefits for postures should be slightly more obvious than they are but I"m glad we can at least fire while kneeling/prone again. This isn't a big deal in solo play, but in large-scale firefights (like the GCW) it should hopefully make a big difference.
- Elemental criticals. I didn't really get the chance to mess with these. They sound neat in concept but it will take a while to figure out whether they're very effective in practice.
So basically they are adding everything slowly, that they took away with the NGE?
I'm glad to hear that you like the SWG changes and that you're enjoying your time spent there. I for one gave SWG about 3.5 months before I moved on. Do I want to come back to it j/b they are making some incremental improvements and such? No thank you. The wonderful Devs you speak of had their chance, people will vote with their $ and I choose to give my money to someone who doesn't treat me as a beta tester.
SWG? If you play and enjoy it great! Otherwise who cares old news.
Ok, here's a thought. If the game is so grand now and the Devs are such perfect angels for adding things (they took out to begin with) why are there so many NGE fans here practically begging for us, the vocal minority, the people who's opinion isn't worth a damn, the few who quit when the NGE hit, to come back? Is the desperation for players that bad? Or is it you just want us to shut up?
i was in SWG sence beta , once relase came i was a little pissed it was still bugged to hell but damn fun
once the devs did all this combat reforming they fucked everything up
it used to be a skill based game that was fun to play and was totaly sick and bad ass , now its just a click target and go afk and get raped
i quit about 2 months ago and got back on my WoW account , if they change things back before the first combat revamp i will totaly come back but its the gayest game out right now and rhey totaly fucked it up and wont listin to what people who love the game have to say casue its freaking Sony , sony sucks for user feed back and suggestions
they were just pissed casue no one could get jedi!
thats why they fucked it over they wanted jedi's in the game , and i agree with every one else at when i say jedi's should have been the hardest class to play casue its a fucking jedi comre on no one should be able to pick up jedi at th charactwer select screen its bull shit

i've no comment on the rest of your post, never having ventured onto TC, after all, the rest of the game is one huge beta test. however, the highlighted part had me in hysterics. I am sorry, I have to disagree with this point. It is one hugh alpha test... but I am sure you understand the hair I am splitting.

bwa..haha...hahahahahahaha!!! hahahahahaha!!!!! Im in tears!!
This is probably the funniest stuff I have read all week! Seriously man, you really gave me a kick out of this. I Laughed for a full 4 minutes while reading this thread.
So WHAT, even if ALL of this is true? This is the skeleton to a working game!!! and SOE STILL doesnt have it right! Bwhaha! And youre saying SWG is coming back again? This post makes it look evene worse becuase it shows how pathetic SWG is.
"- Postures having meaning again. It's about time! I think the benefits for postures should be slightly more obvious than they are but I"m glad we can at least fire while kneeling/prone again.

POSTURES HAVING MEANING AGAIN!!! Haha. This stuff cracks me up. The "brilliant" dev teams has so many of their problems at hand, but instead they go look at postures of your character? like it really makes a difference anyway.
Its the blind leading the blind:
Developer Minion #1: "O great Emperor Smed, what are your orders?"
Emperor Smedly: " For this month, we're going to be fixing...postures! Its a VERY IMPORTANT part of the game, and then maybe we can get more of those foolish subscribers to fall for it and subscribe to the game! Remember, money is good. Money is everything. And then hire a mole to go on MMORPG.com and praise us."
Developer Minion #2: "YES MASTER. And then we'll actually make guns that work, yes yes?"
Emperor Smedly: "Yes! Now go my minions! Fix the postures for the characters! Go! Go!"
Developer Minions: "Yes master! Emperor Smed and SOE are above all! We shall mash Blizzard and their ragtag game, World of Warcaft, to submission! Nothing can stop the SOE game machine!"
*developer minions and Smed cackle in an evil manner*
------
"I BOW before DEVS, they are goind in right direction and I personlay think this is reburth of SWG.

LOL.
Wow can this get anymore obvious? Seriously, how much is SOE paying you? This is outrageous! Does "Emperor" Smed think we're THIS dumb? This is just pathetic.
Apparently he does.
Really, SWG and SOE is really starting to look pathetic here. I *almost* feel sorry for them.
They gave me a good laugh though. Not that it really counts.

Originally posted by Obraik Originally posted by Ironman2000 Originally posted by Obraik Originally posted by Ironman2000 I just got done trying a level 90 combat frog buffed commando, with all the gear, lava cannon and full advanced armor. I tried to do a terminal mission for rebel faction, it sent me out to destroy a flag at a camp, I hit the flag once, and I encapped by 5 level 75 pirates. They weren't <> or <<>>, they were regular level 75 pirates. I thought ok this must be a fluke, so I got another mission, same thing, I got nailed by 4 of the pirates and incapped in like 5 shots. I don't know about you, but a level 90 commando, with a PSG, shouldn't be encapped by 4 or 5 level 75 solo targets that easy. I was nailing them with a lava cannon, and they were just taking it. Are the changes they are making for PVP sake? If they are they really need to consider the PVE side of things too, because thats pretty messed up now.
NPC's still currently fire at the same fast rate they do on Live, which is why you got raped when they all hit you at once. The devs have said that the NPC difficulty is something that is being watched so we'll see what happens. Me thinks they need to watch it closer, but that doesn't explain how they were so easily able to shake of shots from a frigging lava cannon? Oh and as far as the jedi saber block being nerfed, it was the only thing that gave them half a chance to compete in the NGE environment. Those cloaks and robes don't do spit compared to most of the armors there. When someone ranged attacks you, you can't do anything but stand there as a jedi now and die, cause you sure can't block the shots now and it wasn't like the saber block lasted very long anyway or that it came back up very fast either. It was like use it at the beginning of a fight and then its done, you can't use it again during the same fight anyway.
It's not like saber block has been removed completely, it still cancels out MOST of the damage from a ranged attack. Jedi also have a defensive buff that makes them take on less damage while it's activated. Jedi also have a ton of snares and force run.
Its not the same thing Obraik, these are the pre-NGE Jedi, they are the run of the mill melee players now, and the buff you're talking about doesn't hardly help, and with the saber block thing, its just made them a target for anyone that stands out of range and pelts them with laser bolts. It doesn't compare, the 100% sabe block just gave them enough time to close some distance to get to use their other specials and snares. How could it have cancelled out most of the damage a ranged character does when it only lasted seconds and dropped anyway? It didn't last long at all.
Dude the SWG DEV team is made up of like 6 people which is why it takes forever to get out a publish. Combat is still twitched based and there are no collision physics implemented in the game, the two together equals sucktitude.

Originally posted by Dessano I loged in on TC2 and its a blast. Also I noticed today several posts from Vet players that are actualy like the new chnages and they are coming back strong. Woohooo. I BOW before DEVS...
I smell a fan boy...
a brainwashed fanboy who quite possibly has very little MMO gaming experience and blind to the fact that SOE treats their customers unfairly and rob them of their rights.
Even IF this was a maricle patch, that braught back everything and more, I'd sooner die of boardom then trust a single cent onto the SOE team. The number 1 principle behind our hatred, besides the completely craptacular game that they now have, is that they LIED, DENIED, and BETRAYED, their customers. Two weeks prior to NGE, we were being told about these great class improvements to smugglers, rangers, squad leaders, and creature handlers (which the creature handler one came out... with two weeks time before NGE launched making all that work pointless and idiotic to even have bothered with). They had just released an expansion with the great deal of it's content aimed at new creatures for CHs and new equipment for all of the classes, which again was thrown out not even a month down the road. They contradicted every single thing they claimed they were working on and promised to deliver. When asked about these changes, they lied and spoke of them, yet none of them happened. No apologies have yet to be given, no attempt at pleasing their original customer base, and nothing to show for all their backstabing but a bunch of broken content.
The exclution of over half the combat animations, the simplification of all the classes, moving away from a skill tree towards a liniar class, the throwing away of every character's work towards their perfect class designs and plans, makes this game the WORST mmo in existince, and classifies as the biggest stab in the back in the MMO industry. You take a game that was slowly becoming star wars (but still had some major contradictions to the actual star wars universe) and turn it even further into something that was NOT star wars, you have also stabed the SW fanbase in the back.
So fanboy, when it's your turn to be stabed in the back, I'm going to be here, and I'm going to smile Sometimes it takes being placed under the sword of irony in order to understand others pain, in order to see the bigger picture.
On the other hand if you're one of those 'being payed to post hype on MMO forums" like a few other companies have been doing resently (which is the only logical explanation to your action and the least insulting to our community then to actualy have someone so blind to the previous actions), enjoy your money but I doubt your promoting will do any good here. We've maid our standpoint against SWG perfictly clear, waist not your time.

LOL! SWG is NOOOOOT twitch based. A game that uses a D20 type system to see if you hit the target so long as your crosshair is remotely near them is NOT twitch. As I've stated before, they tried to use a sourcecode set up for a totaly different type of gameplay and ducktable strings of code here and there to try and turn it into Dues Ex or Vampire Masquirade:Bloodline type gameplay. It would have been better if they desgined a completely seperate game (both for logical business sense so they gain new customers without screwin over and losing older ones and for future coding projects) with a brand new source code.
Gee, looks like you're right ... Publish 29 is da bomb, testing is going great on TC2 and the SWG boards are full of happy campers! Here's a thread about it:
Weapon Damage. This is awesome. This change alone goes a long way towards making weaponsmiths useful again. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot more to be done, but this is a big step in the right direction.
Wow! Just listen to yourself, "Making weaponsmiths USEFUL again". I can't believe you still play this game. They completely dumped them with the NGE, now people say "Wow the awesome weaponsmiths will be useful soon!!".
- Combat Speed. This is a tremendous improvement over the old system. The jury's still out on whether it's right where it needs to be, but I have to say that it felt a whole lot better than what we had before. I felt like each shot actually meant more altogether and I wasn't nearly as focused on just doing as much damage as possible as fast as possible. I found myself doing more snare kiting and generally using more of my specials than I previously would have in PvE.
The only thing the combat system NEEDS is diversity, which - of course - was completely removed with the NGE. The most idiotic event in the entire NGE is the skillwheel. Made for 11 year old kiddie mmorpg players and even more lazy developers who just want to sweep everything under the carpet.
- NPC AI/Difficulty. This is great. To take down an elite I need to have a group now. It's about time that we made it so the majority of the game can't be soloed. There's still some tweaking needed I think, but overall I like the challenge level a lot more than what we had previously, where I could just blast through legions of normal NPCs without really worrying about it. The days of mindless, diablo-style wading through your enemies are hopefully coming to an end.
SWG never was about the NPC's! It was about the players! The forced socialisaton was SWG's biggest strenght. Which we see nothing of today. Today it's all about grinding NPC's? If that is our biggest wish SWG will never become anything again. In a fast-paced world where the NPC overrule the Player World there is no room for true roleplaying or anything alike.
- Postures having meaning again. It's about time! I think the benefits for postures should be slightly more obvious than they are but I"m glad we can at least fire while kneeling/prone again. This isn't a big deal in solo play, but in large-scale firefights (like the GCW) it should hopefully make a big difference.
Yet again, postures HAD a meaning before and now when they add it AGAIN people take it as a NEW thing. They removed 90% of the content with the NGE to slowly start adding it again so new players thinks "Wow they add stuff to this game why is everyone so harsh against them?".
- Elemental criticals. I didn't really get the chance to mess with these. They sound neat in concept but it will take a while to figure out whether they're very effective in practice.
ELEMENTAL CRITICALS ARE NOT STAR WARZY ENOUGH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only thing I want to add to this is I find it really sad that a game that has been out this long is still trying to figure out what it wants to be and make it work. Hell, AO had one of the worst launches ever and it's working well now. Come play SWG, the world's first mmorpg with multiple personalities.

Not sure where you stand here with this reply, with or against nge, im thinking against from the video.
The threads are like that anytime they release an update though once it goes live we all know the BOOOING starts. Its always been that way and always will be.

Something with the words Pot, Kettle and Black comes to mind...
SOE knows what you like... You don't!
And don't forget... I am forcing you to read this!
SWG = 90%
CU = 50%
NGE = 10%
Every Publish they will add = 10% of what we had at the biginning, do the math, it will take a while before you get to what we had.
So please, do us a favor, come back to post when it is like Pre-Cu not before. I think you guys did not understand that we do not want to pay anymore for testing. 6 months of NGE and they are still changing/adding stuff, that shows me that NGE is still not ready to be on live server. By the time it will be like it was before, I will be long gone to other MMo and SWG will be outdated.
Get a life you freaking Gamer.....no no, you don't understand, I'm a Gamer, I have many lives!!
No thanks. Sounds like another Bait & Switch

i quit about 2 months ago and got back on my WoW account , if they change things back before the first combat revamp i will totaly come back but its the gayest game out right now and rhey totaly fucked it up and wont listin to what people who love the game have to say casue its freaking Sony , sony sucks for user feed back and suggestions
they were just pissed casue no one could get jedi!
thats why they fucked it over they wanted jedi's in the game , and i agree with every one else at when i say jedi's should have been the hardest class to play casue its a fucking jedi comre on no one should be able to pick up jedi at th charactwer select screen its bull shit
I am sorry, I have to disagree with this point. It is one hugh alpha test... but I am sure you understand the hair I am splitting.
bwa..haha...hahahahahahaha!!! hahahahahaha!!!!! Im in tears!!
This is probably the funniest stuff I have read all week! Seriously man, you really gave me a kick out of this. I Laughed for a full 4 minutes while reading this thread.
So WHAT, even if ALL of this is true? This is the skeleton to a working game!!! and SOE STILL doesnt have it right! Bwhaha! And youre saying SWG is coming back again? This post makes it look evene worse becuase it shows how pathetic SWG is.
"- Postures having meaning again. It's about time! I think the benefits for postures should be slightly more obvious than they are but I"m glad we can at least fire while kneeling/prone again. This isn't a big deal in solo play, but in large-scale firefights (like the GCW) it should hopefully make a big difference."
POSTURES HAVING MEANING AGAIN!!! Haha. This stuff cracks me up. The "brilliant" dev teams has so many of their problems at hand, but instead they go look at postures of your character? like it really makes a difference anyway.
Its the blind leading the blind:
Developer Minion #1: "O great Emperor Smed, what are your orders?"
Emperor Smedly: " For this month, we're going to be fixing...postures! Its a VERY IMPORTANT part of the game, and then maybe we can get more of those foolish subscribers to fall for it and subscribe to the game! Remember, money is good. Money is everything. And then hire a mole to go on MMORPG.com and praise us."
Developer Minion #2: "YES MASTER. And then we'll actually make guns that work, yes yes?"
Emperor Smedly: "Yes! Now go my minions! Fix the postures for the characters! Go! Go!"
Developer Minions: "Yes master! Emperor Smed and SOE are above all! We shall mash Blizzard and their ragtag game, World of Warcaft, to submission! Nothing can stop the SOE game machine!"
*developer minions and Smed cackle in an evil manner*
------
"I BOW before DEVS, they are goind in right direction and I personlay think this is reburth of SWG. For those of you too busy bitching to pay attention, I think we should take notice of TH, and the rest of the Dev team who have been putting so much dedication back into our game. The future is looking quite positive, and I look forward to the things to come with great anticipation."
LOL.
Wow can this get anymore obvious? Seriously, how much is SOE paying you? This is outrageous! Does "Emperor" Smed think we're THIS dumb? This is just pathetic.
Apparently he does.
Really, SWG and SOE is really starting to look pathetic here. I *almost* feel sorry for them.
They gave me a good laugh though. Not that it really counts.

Ah, a classic. The famous "STFU and Move On" post.
The Dodge analogy was off, IMO. It is more like protesting a Dodge dealership because the Viper you paid for ended up being a Neon. Trust me, if that happened to me IRL, I would make certain that everyone that went into that dealership knew about their business ethics.
I love when pissy little posters gripe that we're "Stalking a video game". Like reading the site and posting once in a while really takes effort. Sure, typing THAT diatribe might have taken azash all day to type, but to us it is truly no effort.
But thanks for the laugh.

ROFL!
Me thinks they need to watch it closer, but that doesn't explain how they were so easily able to shake of shots from a frigging lava cannon? Oh and as far as the jedi saber block being nerfed, it was the only thing that gave them half a chance to compete in the NGE environment. Those cloaks and robes don't do spit compared to most of the armors there. When someone ranged attacks you, you can't do anything but stand there as a jedi now and die, cause you sure can't block the shots now and it wasn't like the saber block lasted very long anyway or that it came back up very fast either. It was like use it at the beginning of a fight and then its done, you can't use it again during the same fight anyway.
It's not like saber block has been removed completely, it still cancels out MOST of the damage from a ranged attack. Jedi also have a defensive buff that makes them take on less damage while it's activated. Jedi also have a ton of snares and force run.
Its not the same thing Obraik, these are the pre-NGE Jedi, they are the run of the mill melee players now, and the buff you're talking about doesn't hardly help, and with the saber block thing, its just made them a target for anyone that stands out of range and pelts them with laser bolts. It doesn't compare, the 100% sabe block just gave them enough time to close some distance to get to use their other specials and snares. How could it have cancelled out most of the damage a ranged character does when it only lasted seconds and dropped anyway? It didn't last long at all.

playing eq2 and two worlds
a brainwashed fanboy who quite possibly has very little MMO gaming experience and blind to the fact that SOE treats their customers unfairly and rob them of their rights.
Even IF this was a maricle patch, that braught back everything and more, I'd sooner die of boardom then trust a single cent onto the SOE team. The number 1 principle behind our hatred, besides the completely craptacular game that they now have, is that they LIED, DENIED, and BETRAYED, their customers. Two weeks prior to NGE, we were being told about these great class improvements to smugglers, rangers, squad leaders, and creature handlers (which the creature handler one came out... with two weeks time before NGE launched making all that work pointless and idiotic to even have bothered with). They had just released an expansion with the great deal of it's content aimed at new creatures for CHs and new equipment for all of the classes, which again was thrown out not even a month down the road. They contradicted every single thing they claimed they were working on and promised to deliver. When asked about these changes, they lied and spoke of them, yet none of them happened. No apologies have yet to be given, no attempt at pleasing their original customer base, and nothing to show for all their backstabing but a bunch of broken content.
The exclution of over half the combat animations, the simplification of all the classes, moving away from a skill tree towards a liniar class, the throwing away of every character's work towards their perfect class designs and plans, makes this game the WORST mmo in existince, and classifies as the biggest stab in the back in the MMO industry. You take a game that was slowly becoming star wars (but still had some major contradictions to the actual star wars universe) and turn it even further into something that was NOT star wars, you have also stabed the SW fanbase in the back.
So fanboy, when it's your turn to be stabed in the back, I'm going to be here, and I'm going to smile
On the other hand if you're one of those 'being payed to post hype on MMO forums" like a few other companies have been doing resently (which is the only logical explanation to your action and the least insulting to our community then to actualy have someone so blind to the previous actions), enjoy your money but I doubt your promoting will do any good here. We've maid our standpoint against SWG perfictly clear, waist not your time.

Gee, looks like you're right ... Publish 29 is da bomb, testing is going great on TC2 and the SWG boards are full of happy campers! Here's a thread about it:

You guys are getting pretty desperate.
OP:
Weapon Damage. This is awesome. This change alone goes a long way towards making weaponsmiths useful again. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot more to be done, but this is a big step in the right direction.
Wow! Just listen to yourself, "Making weaponsmiths USEFUL again". I can't believe you still play this game. They completely dumped them with the NGE, now people say "Wow the awesome weaponsmiths will be useful soon!!".
- NPC AI/Difficulty. This is great. To take down an elite I need to have a group now. It's about time that we made it so the majority of the game can't be soloed. There's still some tweaking needed I think, but overall I like the challenge level a lot more than what we had previously, where I could just blast through legions of normal NPCs without really worrying about it. The days of mindless, diablo-style wading through your enemies are hopefully coming to an end.
- Postures having meaning again. It's about time! I think the benefits for postures should be slightly more obvious than they are but I"m glad we can at least fire while kneeling/prone again. This isn't a big deal in solo play, but in large-scale firefights (like the GCW) it should hopefully make a big difference.
- Elemental criticals. I didn't really get the chance to mess with these. They sound neat in concept but it will take a while to figure out whether they're very effective in practice.

And I don't want to hear anything about "I don't believe in vampires" because *I* don't believe in vampires, but I believe in my own two eyes, and what *I* saw is ******* vampires! "
Only thing I want to add to this is I find it really sad that a game that has been out this long is still trying to figure out what it wants to be and make it work. Hell, AO had one of the worst launches ever and it's working well now. Come play SWG, the world's first mmorpg with multiple personalities.
lol..i saw that video you made btw good job
Not sure where you stand here with this reply, with or against nge, im thinking against from the video.
The threads are like that anytime they release an update though
once it goes live we all know the BOOOING starts. Its always been that way and always will be.
