http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=swggpdiscussion&message.id=867911This is exactly why I will never resub the SW:G NGE. I am approaching 40, and never play manual aim twitch games, or FPS. I am actually physically unable to play the style of combat. Even on console, with the BF games, for instance, I would play for an hour or so, and never play again.
Apart from being a SW geek, I played SWG becuase it was an RPG, meaning that the skills and abilities of your character determined the outcome of an action. The players RL physical abilities had little to no effect on game play issues.
Had SOE and LA streamlined the game, even the professions, but kept the combat system as it was, I would still be playing the game as we speak. I would not have liked most of the other changes, but at least I was actually able to play comfortably.
I really wish the devs would read this thread at take it to heart. I read thread here a few days ago, that someone's friend was a senator, and when asked by the devs what would bring the devs back...besides rollback/classic servers, he said nothing else would. This thread shows a major reason why many of us will never play this game again.
I could have accepted the fact that the current devs of the game are unable to maintain the original code although I would have fought to keep 2 or 3 more professions. But changing the genre of the game from RPG to a Action Adventure game after 2 + years is unaccptable, and essentialy removed me from the potential customer list. If the NGE was released as an original game, fully beta tested and complete, I still would not buy, simply becuase of the combat system.

I might even have lived without the 32 professions eventually. But the combat system and the horrible over-the-shoulder look just are a gamebreaker for me. Since they'll never ditch that, they'll never have me back.

It sounds great, so great in fact, I pitty those who canceled - Some deluded SWG fanboi who pities me.
I don't like it when you say things. - A Vanguard fan who does too.
