Producer Letter/Chapter 6 Outline Coming Tomorrow 3/1!



Hey everyone -



We just wanted to give you a heads-up that tomorrow afternoon at approximately 3pm Central time, we'll be releasing a Producer's Letter that will discuss some future content plans for Star Wars Galaxies.  We'll link to the letter and create a couple of threads here on the message board for you to discuss the information. We'll also have members of the Dev Team on hand to answer any questions you might have.  We hope to see you back here tomorrow and look forward to talking to you!










Seeing if anyone still cared...  if so here you go.

    Let me guess.. something like:

    "We are shutting down the game tomorrow!"

    -or-

    "In 3 days the game will be patched up so the remaining skill trees will be added"

    -3 days later-

    "We have now "enchanted" the game so that there are only 3 classes. We thought we could save alot of time by doing so and nobody ever felt like working anyway. Don't forget to buy our new expansion "Sith Honor In Terror (S.H.I.T)" coming in 4 weeks! /Love SOE"

    no you people are totally backwards........ i have insider informations that confirms that thier going to turn SWG into WOW. Yep its crazy but true the devs are getting really sick of all the rep grinding thier going to run wow on thier servers so they can hax i heard the eve devs are also going to join them so he can spawn a ashbringer  and duel wield em and hes going to give his guild the ability to raise a army of the dead you know.... for pvp. I heard thier hiring steve jobs to announce it because whenever steve jobs says something everyone feels safe and secure no matter how bad it is............... or maybe its just a new skill tree idk

    I'd PLOTZ if they rolled it back.   Followed it for 1 1/2yrs but when I finally saved up and got a decent system NGE came around



    just my thoughts.....



    I LOVE STAR WARS AND ALWAYS WILL LOVE ANYTHING STAR WARS FOREVER AND EVER... (except galaxies)

    Heres my MMO gaming experience so you gals/guys will have some sort of idea on what games I've played.

    FFXI, PS, EVE, WoW, EQOA, Rappelz, FlyFF - about 1yr on each with the exception of rap and flyff like two weeks total on those two.



    Most of what I'm typing about is for the SWG vets in general.



    Ok now I dont want to come off as rude, crude, heartless, or mean but ever since this NGE thing came along I've been kept in a state of constant entertainment reading about this stuff.  Dont get me wrong vets ..... I'm not relishing in the pain that you've gone through. Not at all,(if that happened to me I'd be fuming) but this stuff on the boards reads soooooo much like a soap opera. For some reason I keep thinking of the good ol' line "hilarious hijinks and madcap fun".  Classic good VS evil. On one hand the deliciously evil Dark Lord smedley spreads his viciousness and cruelty throughout the SWG universe and on the other hand you've got the kind ever so playfully paying folk who just have to take it on the chin. Well....... there needs to be a rebellion of some sorts. (LETS ALL BAND TOGETHER AND MAKE ANOTHER MMO) easy right.

    Oh btw I have played the trial-version of SWG..... it was really fun and intuitive NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.... It sucked... really really hard. Half of the time I couldn't even shoot at the mobs because of the constant jerkiness. (I have a decent system btw) If I'm going to be aiming at something at least it would be nice to hit a specific body part or something but ....UGH..... its just bad. Oh and also having them hide behind solid walls and then run around aimlessly shooting me while running away at the same time without even turning around... ridiculous. Not only the fact that even in the off chance that I would shoot the mobs (even in the head) it would still take the same amount of health off. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE TO TAKE THE TIME TO AIM MAKE IT WORTH MY WHILE other than the same ol' -24 or something pathetic.  anyways....



    #1 - I need some info. Like how many people left SWG that were pre-NGE. Then also how many other people left just because they got screwed. Also how much (roughly) of a percentage of people remained after the NGE changes.



    #2 - How much worth in dollars could you put on your prior SWG experience. How much of a monetary value would you spend in order to get back everything to the way it was. Please dont say priceless just a ball park figure. I dont mean give anymore money to SOE but hire a developer to make this MMO again. BTW why can't we as an MMO community as a whole look at MMO developers as hiring THEM to make what WE want rather than just accepting whatever that comes down the pike and spending hard earned cash on a whim that a game might be good. I mean there are games like VSoH that DONT EVEN COME WITH A TRIAL  WTF IS THAT ABOUT!!!!



    #3 - What possible reason caused them to switch from the old system? I'm sure that if there was more money in it to stick with pre-NGE stuff they probably  would have stuck with it, but maybe their just gambling on trying to get a younger crowd that would replace the vets.



    #4 - Is there a site. A MAIN SITE not some small site but a main site that lists everyone that was effected and how many accounts they had on SWG that left because of this NGE thing. It would be nice if it had a calculation of how much money that SOE is loosing every month. Maybe the list and $$$ would get larger and larger over time.



    I've heard ALOT on how it was the interface and the job selection/skills that made SWG unique. If I'm not mistaken (I very well could be) but you could have 2 classes a main job and a subjob like FFXI. That type of class system REALLY kept me going when I played FFXI but the gil sellers/chinese farmers did it in for me there.



    Basically I'll be honest.....I would definitely put a serious amount of time in making an MMO even a crappy one at first but most important of all I'd want to work for a company that was 100% transparent when it came to not only how many subscribers there were but on how much money was being made as well.



    I guess I could say "As the sands shift on Tatooine...... so do the......." well you know the rest ahhahhhhahhahhah GIVE EM HELL VETS or just make another MMO for me to play because I might end up just too lazy to make one.

    I do know that a structure purge will be taking place VERY soon. Blixtev has made this more than obvious in recent posts... he seems pretty insistent that this will take place sooner rather than later. Possibly even Chapter 6?

    However without a promise (and kept promise) of content, content, content... and continued polishing... this game will stay stagnant as it has for the last 3.5 years.

    The world/skin of the game is still one of the best IMO; now we just  need objectives and things to do!

    Playing SWG now is like screwing a drill into your head: sure, you get something new into it, but essentially you loose something as well.

    Not sure what they can do to bring me back now. I left a while ago so I don't have any establishment anymore in that game, so even if they reverted back to classic and polished from there, I'd still have little reason to go back since there will be new games that offer quite a bit coming out. That engine is just a little too old now to do much with, had they stayed with their original design, I'd still be playing and have reasons to stay with it, and then a major update that was realistic would excite me maybe.

    Never give up and never surrender!

    Always good to see them trying to add more onto the awfull core of that game. "Hey the gameplay might be awfull, the economy gone to hell and the classes cookie cutters but owwwwh look here is another tiny feature back from the long list of things we removed with the NGE!"

    This thread will bring in more bashers than supporters but... since i have stopped playing SWG, really hope to see some positive changes in it.

    All canceled. Waiting on Warhammer Online : Age of Reckoning.

    I'm fairly certain chapter 6 will include the return of CH...possibly that Garden stuff they talked about too.  I can only hope a structure purge will also be part of it, my city needs a clean up :|

    Who cares. SWG is comatose and should be put down.

     

    Live long and prosper

    everyone will say they don't care, but will SURELY will have a little hope and hold their breath for the next seven hours to read the producer's letter again. then when no pre-cu servers are announced, tuck back into their hiding places and and continute to wait.

    I got a preview on this letter as I am an admin at SOE.



    It says everyone who logs in tonight should go to the planet Alderaan for an important meeting !



    Never mind the new "moon" looking thing in orbit around the planet.



    See you there tonight!

    So my uncle's 3rd wife's brother works for SOE and is under double secret probation, so this information was told to me in complete confidence.  For the next patch, SOE will give a Black Sun Helmet and a toy lightsaber to anyone who buys an SWG account on Ebay in order to get more players and make the SWG experience more Star Warsy.  Don't shoot the messenger, just saying what I hear.  Batteries not included, but they will mail you the batteries for the toy lightsaber if you agree to pay an extra 14.99/month.  SOE does not in any way guarantee that said lightsaber will work when received by player, and will not be liable for any missing parts or system defects.

     

    On a side note, I did play SWG for a year and a half prior to NGE.  Yes, I bash it constantly, but I do hope that they actually make some improvements for those of you that still play.  I may be vindictive, but I don't take any pleasure out of your suffering.  Good luck.

    I had spent years in Lineage1 and EQ before SWG but the moment I made it into SWG Beta was when I knew right away it would be the game that I'd be the most passionate about.

    The following 2 years were great and aweful all at the same time but I'd go back in a moment if it even regained any of it's former self, I know that will never happy but even so, hope is never pointless I suppose. Even though I havn't been in game for awhile now though, I'll always be interested in the game regardless.

    It's almost like when a friend tells you about an ex boyfriend, it's not that you love or even care all that much about the guy  but it's good know what's going on in his life.

  • starman999starman999 Member Posts: 1,232

    Not that I would go back..........

    I still have an opinion that they need to do some serious cleanup. Its time to merge the servers down to about 3 or 4 total and purge all the ghost towns and derelict harvesters and factories so that the new higher population on the server can start fresh.



    AND FOR CHRIST'S SAKE FIX THE DAMN LINE OF SIGHT BUG!!!!!

    Remove the "Star Wars" title and characters from the game and it would have been known as one of the worst MMORP's in history. Only thing keeping this steaming pile of dog poop going is that it is star wars and some people just can't look past that for what the game really is.

    could be, maybe the can get some of blizzards artists to work on it. I mean they might as well seeing that SWG is Warcraft with Star Wars skins.

    At this point, even if they did roll it back, I don't think I could go back now.  They have shown only utter comtempt for former players and fans, and I don't have any good will left.  Any rollback or 'reset' would be the result of a last, grasping, desperate attempt to reverse its financial slide, and nothing about it would be from them taking us seriously or with respect.
