It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
so Dark Lord Helios posted on the official SOE nazi boards about some IN-CONCEPT Ideas of Creature Handler and everyone starts to get crazy and resubscribe to Star Wars Galaxies.
How easy can you guys be impressed?
You know what "IN-CONCEPT" means? Capitol Ships are IN-CONCEPT since 2003.
And since when is SOE starting to post IN-CONCEPT Ideas on the boards? When have they done that the last time?
Oh wait a minute, could it be? Jesus, they are running out of Subscriptions and need a reason to keep the fanbois to play along ?
Nice tactis by SOE but the sad part is that its working and that people really start to believe that the game is getting better.
As someone on mmorpg already posted: you can colorize shit to pink, it looks cool but underneath the color it's still shit..

Who here is impressed?
**crickets chirping**
Or MMORPG Current.
my favorite one
is you can polish a turd all you want it will never turn into a carrot .
You want loot? Go kill some npcs, you wanna visit hades? come find ME, and dont forget to bring coins for the ferryman,
have you guys read what the fanbois are telling the veterans on the official boards?
they tell them to fuck off and call them noobs and stuff.
this is were we are heading to, fanbois calling veterans noobs and to go away if they don't like the game.
really great, poor star wars galaxies

Well, the Force can have a strong impact on the weak-minded...
SOE counts on the players ignorance, gullibility, and short memories to keep this train wreck afloat.
Anyone remember the so-called fanfests where dozens of cool ideas were pitched to the players and NEVER happened ?
Anyone remember capitol ships ?
Anyone recall the proposed changes to ranger ?
How about the changes to the GCW that would fix the battlefields ?
Remember when SOE promised the Corellian Corvette was just the 1st in a series of instanced content to come ?
Remember the post-nge fan gatherings in places like Indianapolis where SOE showed a long list of revamps in great details...none of which ever materialized.
Smuggler proposals, smuggler revamps, smuggler quests, smuggler being hunted by BH, smugglers actually smuggling contraband, smugglers doing anything besides being drug dealers, etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.
How about the promised continuation of storylines that later on end without a word from SOE ?
The real problem here has always been the same....SOE hires a new batch of developers who come in with all new ideas to "save the game" Apparently they dont get or read memos from the previous devs so they fail to follow through on any ideas.
Anyone remember the Planetary Loot Revamp ? They started out doing Tatooine and Dantooine. This really gave players some exciting new content to look forward too. Then in typical SOE fashion they FAILED TO FOLLOW THROUGH. We never again hear a single word about the loot revamp. Any post asking about it on the forums gets you banned.
So if anyone is stupid enough to believe any of these proposals will ever see the light of day, remind them of the above list...especially the planetary loot revamp.
Its all a ploy by SOE like everything they do to accomplish one thing...Keep you playing and PAYING. How many times does SOE have to screw you over before you'll realize they will never fix this game ?
Who's Impressed?
I know exactly what this is. A CARROT.
Collision system anyone. Droid comander. Stardestroyer. These are just some of the carrots they have dangled in the past.
You can only warn people so mutch before you just stop giving a s*it. The facts are there, they are all over the web. If people chose to ignor this Well good luck to em they will learn the hard way.

i just can't believe so many folks think this is soon. It took 3 years for smugglers get a clue. Non combat is not a current red team like. We can see no attention was paid to non combat classes this year.
Once the expertease is in the jedi will get a balance pass the mobs will get a balance pass quest lines maybe worked on to give experaince. If the game isn't sun set.
While it is good they laid out a plan. Just do not expect it any time soon if at all
someone post this on the official boards please...

Seems that the SOE DEV team is using more sorcery to ressurect the dead.
Situations vacant:
Developer for a SWG needed. You're required to have several years experience in tarot card reading, whicker, weega boards and have your own crystal ball. Must be prepaired to dance naked whilst sacrificing poultry in a trance like state.
I think Derek Achorra would be a good choice for a new lead designer.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience"
CS Lewis
I think most people here know Helios and his bullshit posts well enough to know better.
Remember this is the anti-Lemming forum... we have our own thoughts... we do know what a good product is and or have the nads to stand up for one.
The one thing here is that most people use some logic and common sense to know when somthing is bullshit or not.
His rehasing of old ideas is almost a joke yet the NGErs praise him and say "OH GREAT IDEA!" --- which shows you the type of people they are...
Very gullable and very much can be sold anything.... whats left are the people that accept anything, do anything and will follow those guys off the edge of a cliff.
One has to wonder how those people get by day to day but I assume they are watched or cared for -- because following that team and being a adult with common sense does not mix.
I can understand if a 12 year old trusts them, but a full grown adult that has been told things over the last few years that knows them has to have some sense of right and wrong.
One would think.....
But this again is using logic and common sense.... you just have to keep thinking of this as a product. Not just a game...
If this was a car company-- we would all be dead.

Didn't you play Pre-CU? You're just as "guilty" as the people you're trying to accuse.
If people want to look forward to it, what's the problem?
And as pre-cu players what exactly are we are guilty Of? not knowing at that time what this company was about? Well bad us for not being able to read minds and predict the future.
They should rename the IN CONCEPT forum to the VAPOR WARE forum, with a picture of an ICONIC carrot starting each new dev created thread.
The problem Helios, I mean Obraik is that it's very hard to believe anything that SOE posts and calls, "Red Herring." Sure it all sounds good, besides the name along with several ideas that end up where gunboats, capital ships and the rest goes.
If it goes live, it will be the biggest step post-nge that SOE has made to keep the game alive.
Didn't you play Pre-CU? You're just as "guilty" as the people you're trying to accuse.
If people want to look forward to it, what's the problem?
If we want to offer the historical perspective to show them how stupid it would be to keep paying $15/mo just to keep looking forward to it...what's the problem?
Didn't you play Pre-CU? You're just as "guilty" as the people you're trying to accuse.
If people want to look forward to it, what's the problem?
History repeats itself, Also as said before. We played Pre-cu not knowing SOE could possibly screw something up as big as the Star Wars license.
Pre-cu we had more devs than the NGE. there were still problem
CU- Still problems
Nge- Problems and less number of devs.
Tell me, what pattern do you see? now that there is a less number of devs suddenly things are going to start looking up. You are fighting for the wrong side, Obraik.
I really hope none is impressed here on mmorpg.
But the NGE Fanobis apperanly are.
To little to late, that someone mantioned.
Starwars Galaxies, An Empier Diveded, That's what it says on my box anyway.
So, all the concept posts that were made by devs during the pre-cu time, you didn't look forward to and express your support for those concepts? Just because you got burnt and they never happened, doesn't mean everyone else felt/feels that way too and many probably weren't even playing the game during that period.
You don't have to like the ideas, but calling people names because they express a like for a concept is pretty low.
What names please post the name I have called people in this post.
And yes there was mutch to look forward to but not once, twice,or 3 times, but many times we heard the same old same old only to be disapointed time and time again.
The game was young enough to at least hold out that surly the company can fix this.

Thats
beacuse THOSE concepts werent existing then, now when the NGE dosen
have CH they are now, 1 year after "going" to inplant it.
You know what? Heres an example of this idea.
GUY2: Steals the icecream from girl1
GIRL1:nags about it for 1 year.
GUY2: OK you will maby get it back, not for sure though.
GIRL1: YES OMG YES YES YES!!!!!!!
What are you fighting for, Obraik?
