Please Rate This Game

MikeG50

I posted in the "current" forum asking players to rate the NGE for new players and those of us who may be considering the 21 day trial.

Shayde recomended I post it here; However, I think I know how we all feel, thats why we are "Refugees".

But for Siths and giggles here goes.

Please rate this game on a 1 being the worst 10 being the best scale, also please include what you like best and what you like the least about this game.

Thanks

Since I quit 3 weeks ago, I am "current" enough to rate it:

On a 10 scale I give it a 3.  When NGE came out I gave it a 1.  So it's tripled in "quality" in 10 months.

Of course, I gave the CU game a 6 and the Pre-CU game a 9...

Here is how I "quantify" my ratings:

1-3: Pathetic
4-5: Mediocre
6-7: Decent
8-9: Outstanding
10: Better than outstanding.

Ill give the last version of the NGE i played a 2.5 just because the effort put into it

SOE gets a 0.0 tho.

Wow i think the action in the "current" forum reflects the server populations...

If you want to help new players post your replies on the same post located on the "current" forum.

Just be mindfull of the "Roc"  so this thread can help people aviod this utter pile of Hutt fecal slime.

1.5

Although I didn't have expertise last time I tried it... and I just got 21 days to see. Doubt it'll go up at all.

Can i give this game a 0 ?

Last time i played it was a POS - i have played WOW so what does the "Expertise/talents" offer me ?

suske

0 out of 0.

0's and 10's I beleive still don't count towards the score I beleive...

Just thought everyone might want to know.

Last played about two weeks ago. I'd give it a 2. Playable, but not for more then a couple days.

Distopia

On a scale of 1-10 , I would have to say a 5 .

I'd put it at a 4 for mediocre.  It most bothers me when I think of what was, but it was somewhat playable when I played.  I just got really tired of being told what I can say and what I can't say or I'd probably still be all alone on Ahazi wondering where all my customers went.  

For those of you that think "Whoa!  a 4!!  No way!", you need to realize that mediocre ranks slightly above a infected paper cut for fun.  4 gets you downsized in my company.  And it only gets a 4 on the strength of JTL and Shipwright.  If I were combat only we would be discussing a 1 or 2.

Pre-CU = 8 or 9, bugs and things that needed to be adjusted but lots of characteristics that I haven't found in other MMOs

NGE = 2 or 3, bugs, lag (I lagged worse in NGE world with no one else around then I did in pre-CU in a cantina or starport full of people), poor game system, only reason it ranks as high as it does is there are still those few characteristics that can't be found in other MMOs...BUT some of those characteristics have been nerfed (ex.: ents and artisans)

Delzo

I'd have to say for how long I played each...which is reflective of how much I enjoyed them...

Pre-CU = 9

CU = 6

NGE = 3

Pre-CU rocked, CU killed my doc buffs and made me consider switching professions, the NGE killed the other professions I would have picked as a replacement.

As MMOs go:

pre-cu: 7
Design was saving the game. But ammount of bugs was simply too great, the ammount of unfinished content too large, the lack of even an attempt at balance overwhealming. Plus points for immersion and visual candy. Game was imperfect for everyone, yet at same time offered enough. The major strength came from completely ortogonal concepts, in which many found apeal. Lack of goals was mostly offset by the community. While every profession lacked something, the simple availability of something else kept things mostly in check. Complete lack of any investment into that era caused too many players to leave, even if they generally liked the game.

cu: 7
It improved balance by normalizing combat. Unfortunately, it did nothing to improve content, the Jedi explosion turned the game into a primitive grindfest, and introduction of levels killed off several professions, or severly impaired even more. The only things that were considered improvements were the ones that anyone else would consider merely bugfixes. The pre-cu/cu conversions were borked, negating the true possibility of balance once again. Due to ease of leveling, Jedi became the one true goal. FS and Jedi grindspots ruled the gameplay and economy. Pvp was only accessible to vets who were done with the grind before then. Plus points for more accessible gameplay and introduction of new content.

NGE: 5
Despite minor flaws, in both previous versions at least the combat worked. But having mis-firing specials, requiring 3-handed gameplay, and fight in a world of clones where the markets are littered with useless items at 1:50 ratio makes the core of any MMORPG pointless. Acquisition of items and merits is negated by all the legacy content, and even more overwhealmingly the no-longer-available items dominate the combat. Once again, the usability of classes is severly lacking, 2 of them are useless, others walk a tight line between uber and nerfed. There is no real point in diversification, the engine ensures everyone is equal. Anything that could be considered an achievement has gone to live on Dagobah, hiding alongside Yoda. But no matter where you look, everything screams: Legacy. Because that's all there is. Taking out all the legacy items would reveal the galaxy for what it really is. An empty shell. Plus points for making the end-game game accessible to all and finally adding content.

pre-cu: cant rate i never played it

cu: was the best game i was playin so 9     

NGE: im playin cause friends and  yes  I AM a star wars fanboy but the nunber is 3,5
(the only fun you can get now in the game is based on pvp, for those who dont do pvp is really hard to find something, just doin quests and killing bosses around and around)

I gave it this due to the fact it is still not finished.

ALSO, if this was a successful game most of us would not even be here, myself being one of them.

Didn't the older versions of the game have bugs and problems? I think you vets are going insane and only remembering the good parts.

The launch was horrible, the game was missing over half of what is was promised but that was ok then because they wanted their Star Wars...

I would give it a 5.5 to 6. The game is still not complete after over 3 years of being on the market. However it has a good fun factor for me.

If the game had been average, do you really think we'd be here?

It had bugs at launch, you're right. But, even then, it was still a hell of a lot better then anything that's been on the market.

It having bugs at launch is an understatement. It lacked space which was promised and then resold to everyone later as an expansion for a nominal fee. It lacked vehicles. The professions were a mess.

The concept and intent for the game was superbly better, by the time the CU came out and even with the CU the game was superbly better.

However that doesn't change the state of the game at launch which was the reason I wouldn't even start playing the game the first year.

Pre-cu, for most part, is referred to as the pub 12-14 era. 12, because it still had the TEF system. Removing that was the first sign of changes to come, not to mention the increasingly conflicting concepts.

At that time, SWG offered everything it offers today, minus the expansions. But it still had the original design intact.

I am discussing launch state of the product versus launch state of the NGE. Not what they got it patched too in 2 years. If you want to compare that way you need to wait until they have time to finish this version of the product to compare properly.

mt2007

nge = i'd rather stick my penis in a wood chipper then play it


cu= was good


pre cu= was great

ruegon

Pre-Cu = 8 bugged and incomplete but diferent with huge potental

Cu = 5 still pissed off about nerfs

Nge = 2 I wouldn't even waste the time to download

And right now im playing GW so its not like i have high standards LOL.

chlaos

I cant give the NGE  worse than a 3, because the worlds are still beautiful even if the game is unplayable.

CU I would give a 6 cause I still wanted to log on and play even though they had screwed up the game. 

Pre-Cu gets a 9 from me.  Not because it was perfect, lord knows it had problems, but because it captured my imagination and made me want to spend as much time as I could logged into the game.
