Yeah, that's about the feeling I got too. Doesn't feel good.

I'm sure Obraik and pirrg spread the word beforehand that you were coming, so the thousands of players on the server are playing hide-and-seek with you. Really it's the only interesting thing left to do in the game, because everybody who plays the game now knows how to hide really, really well...
ifeel your pain im on day 14 of free 21 days trialit was fun for a week made a new smuggler toon. couldnt bear to play my main ive seen people quite a few at times alot of low lvl people likeme up to lvl23 smuggler most of the old player cities are ghost towns though. afterlegacy quests it seems a lost game where to go what to do?
Editors note: This posting was delayed because Shayde had too much fun in CoH after logging out of SWG that he couldn't get to posting before work. Now here is what he thought after trying out combat again. OK, off to Danthomir to hunt stuff. I'm CL81 and I think I hotkeyed all my new abilities. Scythe and DE-10 and ready to party.
Get on the speeder and off I go. Wait... this is Danthomir. WHERE ARE THE MOBS??? Drivedrivedrive FINALLY some Kwi. Damn I hate the clicky combat. How do you keep the fricking target on them when they run around? Where's that autofire thing they talked about.
Self heal? No stims? Hocus pocus instead of tech? Great.
OH MY GOD what ARE these shitty particle effects? I thought the CU was horrible. I'm in a flipping pokeman cartoon.
Now on to some Blomas. Easy easy easy boring boring boring. Use both guns and swords and they fall like gentle rain. I'm bored out of my mind.
Nobody's playing this game, I've seen THREE PEOPLE IN 2 HOURS. Combat is a bore. I'll try during friday prime.

Your more tolerant that I was with the trail I logged on for 30 minutes maby an hour and then logged off and uninstalled the POS game. Its an empty shell of what it used to be and I just dont see the logic in SOE paying to maintain servers with a max of 50 players on at a time unless they just didnt want to admit failure because in the long run that might cost them more in their opinions I dont know why they keep this game on lifesupport?Nothing in the game is fun anymore and all the stuff that seperated one toon from another SOE took away to cater to all the crybabie nerf whiners.

Well you are obviously going in with a bias expectation that it will suck so guess what? its going to suck. COH is a far better game anyway, pre or post NGE.
As far as the combat "clicky" thing, have you looked at anything? You can set up auto target/attack by setting your UI to Star Wars Galaxies Modern. Then you can turn off the over the shoulder view. Obraik also has a guide sticked for people to read that explains how to set it up pre-NGE.
I don't know why you are having such a hard time with loading and memory. I haven't experience anything of the sort but I just reactivated yesterday. Took me less then 2 hours total to install and get in game.
My intial impression is its more or less back to the way its was before NGE combat wise anyway. Still hate all the Jedi. Out of the 10 or so people in Mos Eisly, more then half where Jedi. Don't know about the crafting. Seems like a whole lot of work on this NGE for nothing because the combat at least is right back where it was.
Pops do look weaker then last May when I tried. Oh well, its free for a few days anyway. I will see how the pops are over the weekend. Its seems foggy and confused because of all the Jedi. Last I checked, according to the timeline, there are no Jedi at this point aside from Yoda.
/shrug could have been a good game, to bad the devs are so muddled and confused. They are designing in circles, they ripped the game apart just to get it back to the way it was. Pull the Jedi out and add about 100 times more Impiral conflict/story/locations/numbers and you would have a much "truer" game experience. However if you pull the Jedi out now, you will lose about 50 - 75% of the remaining player base. As it stands its just generic space adventures with Jedi.

Yeah, because the profession grind was so much worse than the pointless no-risk no-reward PvP the game centers around now, and those legacy quests... woohoo talk about a good time. Can't see any grinding there; not at all. /sarcasm off. I'd take profession grinding and huge hunts over driving back and forth more than actually completing a quest to fulfill that stupid legacy story arc.

It might be no risk, but it certainly isnt unrewarding. There are plenty of pvp rewards to be had, ranging from high level stims to high level armours and weapons.
Maybe you prefer the pre-cu style of risk without reward? Personally, i like to be rewarded when i play a game (remember people, its still just a game). That doesnt mean i dont think there shouldnt be any risk, its just that i prefer no risk with some reward rather then some risk with no reward.

I agree that there was very little reward Pre-NGE. But all it needed was a little work. Say maybe as rewards you could get limited use Schematics for crafter to craft high end armors/weapons. But instead we get a complete WoW rip off that hurts crafters. As if Crafters havnt been hurt enough. And we have yet to see how much more pain SoE will inflict on them.
In case you havnt noticed Pirrg, this is the forum for Disgruntled players. You, my friend are not. Yet you come here to these forums that MMORPG.com gave us, Trolling for arguements. You have your own Forum for NGE/SoE supporters where you can praise the NGE and how great SoE is for creating it.
You know dam well why these seperate forums were created. You know dam well how those of us here in this forum feel. And you know dam well that when you are coming here posting things like this, that you are Trolling for an arguement.
I thought the mods were supposed to be monitoring this kind of trolling crap anyway? What gives?
Logged in... friends list still empty. Theed Empty. Head to Tatt. Nobody between Mos Entha and Krayt Graveyard.
Obscene number of Krayts... seems like nobody has been keeping the population in check.
First, pick a juvie to check combat system. Dies quickly even though he's 2 levels higher than me.
OK, now an ancient. CL90 V.S. my pathetic 81. Falls like gentle rain. NEVER have I killed a krayt this fast.
Now try again in my sexy outfit. Even easier.

After 2 hours and over 20 dead krayts later (I love hunting them in twos and threes).. I get BORED.
Yeah. Bored. Krayt Graveyard mania, killing an ancient in under 3 minutes. Great combat system. Still can't get the autoattack thing to work though. Keymap this $OE.
On a whim... there's 2 people on Tatt right now other than me. Hit corellia, there are 3. Naboo... 6. Endor... 4. I highly doubt thousands of players have made themselves un-searchable.
Oh, by the way. Swords suck ass. I was excited to try them again, but they suck. Like they took all the specials, and more importantly defenses away. Tried soloing a baby krayt with the sword... goodnight. That was my ONLY death.
I can't see why I'd log in again. We'll see if this experiment continues.

Here's a little tidbit to add to your comments jedi can solo ancient krayt with a saber as jedi and never run move nothing. THats how dumbed down the game has become. In my month back I took my jedi there hoping for flawless pearls(found out later they nerfed them), I killed ancient after ancient going toe to toe. At one point that night I fought a ancient and a juvenile at the same time and same result no running killed juvenile in no time ancient shortly after 10k heal equals no challenge in anything including the DWB which I can solo my way to the bottom no problems.
Honestly there is nothing left in game but PVP and the rewards take massive time. As soon as this GCW rewards system went into place and people saw how much it takes to rank even at low lvls afk GCW grinding began so instead of addressing the fact that the grind to each reward was ridiculous, SOE instead made the respawn time on stuff 10 times longer making the grind even worse and probably will increase afk grinding that much more. I'm baffled by the logic, in a game full of jedi most the rewards don't even apply to jedi beside the barc which is a reward that most will never see. So now I ask you what is the motivation of a jedi to mess with the bullshit that is this fluff content that has taken soooo long to come out, its a easy answer there isn't one.
/cancel, again.....
almost a year of development and the only"improvements" are the stuff that was reverted to pre NGE, truly SAD....

The only places you will find any people are mos eisley , Or where there is pvp . I have checked mulitiple servers , And this is the case for every single one . Aside from the random guild helping newbies on quests , PVE parties are non existent . Cantinas consist of Duelists , Few entertainers , And nostaligic Pre-cu convo . Outside Mos eisley star port conisists of duelists and spammers. Just about every other city may have 2-3 people wandering around . Most likely people looking unsuccessfully for life . That about explains all you are going to find in your study .
