Thinking about coming back to SWG

Dekron · May 2004

Well its been a few months since I quit SWG. I quit right after vehicles were added. I was getting sick of the constant nerfs to bh and ch. After looking at the movie for jump to light spped I may come back. My question is this: What has changed since the last 4 months to make me want to come back. Please only vets answer. No one who just started out and did not experience gameplay from launch. I started from launch until about december so please, someone who has played in that timeframe and knows of the crap I am talking about, please let me know. I am not looking or a review or anything, just what has changed...good and bad. Thanks!

well, every update has brought more and more stuff. I can't even remember what was in the last few updates, all of them have just kinda melded together.

At some point the put in player cities, which allowed us to make our own homes. The Imperial Crackdown put more Imperials in the cities and had them randomly stopping people and scanning them for sliced items and spices. Um, they added the Genosian Caves and the instanced Corellia Corvette mission. They revamped Chef, Droid Enginner, and Image Designer. The hologrind is almost over (though its hitting its peak right now).

They will soon revamp the combat system to equalize the comabt professions. There will be a bunch more updates in the upcoming months, and it looks even better. They are learning from their mistakes and are getting better at making this game.

From what I´ve heard, the mission system still sucks. Repetitive as hell, and this is the bloody core of the game!

Please re-read again the quote by the person who started this thread. You say "from what [you've] heard ..... aka your info is moot. The thread starter is asking for information from experienced players CURRENTLY PLAYING. :

(BTW, the mission system is NOT the "core" of the game. Of course if you were actually an experienced player currently playing ((or who actually ever played this game)) you would know from your OWN experience instead of going by "what you've heard".))

To answer your question Dekron,

SWG has gotten better. It is still a MMORPG intended for casual players with 1-4 hours free time to play, and NOT for hardcore players. The Imperial Crackdown has done TONS to further add the "Star Wars feel".

IMHO you should not come back into the game yet unless you are an uber Star Wars fan. The Imperial Crackdown, new Corvette spaceship "dungeon" (there are versions for everyone no matter what their faction is) will give a vet player returning back to the game about..... 1-2 months of playtime.

You should wait another 3-6 more months when the SE (Space Expansion) gets released.

I quit swg after 3 or 4 months. Now i am back been reactivated for a/b a week now and loving every minute of it!

Having more fun now than i ever did before.

I left a month or so after mounts came out. I've been back for 3 weeks now and I love it. My BH is still gimped in PvP, but food, spice and sliced equipment help me with that.

In short I'm back and loving it.

SWG has changed a lot, the new content is pretty good, it's definitely worth coming back! This game kicks arse.

I think 95% of people who PvP use food, spice and sliced equipment all the time. Not using it puts you at a severe disadvantage...gimped prof or not.

The good changes:

1. Classes are more balanced, except BH and CH which completely suck arse.

2. No more uber stack defensers, but there are still some really strong players.

3. New weapons and the new Death Watch Bunker, which has Mandalorian armor.

4. Rifleman, and Fencer combination still kicks butt.

5. New upcoming space expansion which looks good, but could be a complete nightmare, dont know yet.

6. PvP is still fun, for me at least.

The bad things:

1. BH and CH are still pieces of crud.

2. Vehicles are still bugged and you get thrown around when you dismount them.

3. They fixed the vehicle fix exploit.

4. The profession grinding is still pretty boring.

5. Getting missions from the terminal is still a pain in the ass.

6. NO ONE FIGHTS WITHOUT COMPOSITE AND BUFFS ANYMORE!
