    There are some beautiful screen shots in this collection. It reminds me why I keep playing.

    The best thing about Star Wars Galaxies is the graphics.  They still look decent and the art is good for the most part.  Everything is severly lacking though.

    The new additions in Chapter 6 are geared towards rollplaying and enhancing set pieces.  Good stuff!

    If you're into setting up environments and having fun roll playing you'll enojy chapter 6.  It gives all the tools you used to have to modify your client to get! 

    This is what the mechinimaniac has been waiting for!!

    p.s. the game play is still poor in my opinion.

    If only the game was half as good as the pictures, they may have something there. But Alas since the NGE, its not to be.

    Unaware of the Jestor?

    The visuals of this game make me want to re-sub.

     

     

    ... then I remember the actual game play. Problem solved.

  • NGESUCKSNGESUCKS Member Posts: 153
    Can anyone tell me where these new screenshots are? These are just crappy pics off that dorky commercial for the NGE.As for the graphics looking great lol u want to see great graphics come play LOTRO theres some real graphics even the pics themself like the vader one and some others have that crappy polygon issue or the blocks. I find it odd theres an article and page on these? Let me know when theres some screenshots worth posting like smeds WOW character and his server time online lol.

    yep, the games gone to hell, although the graphics still hold up to par.  in either case, im sure glad ive moved on.  rather then surf the forums, reminding myself of why i left,over,and over,and over again.  just thought i would post how strange and funny this news article was, i couldn't resist commenting,lol.

    r.i.p swg. lol.

    btw, the graphics really haven't changed at all since cu, so its kinda strange trying to label it as new screen shots,hah.

  • BreaghaBreagha Member Posts: 131
    They changed the meshes of the races at one point, though the result is... well... debateable :P - and was 'debated' quite a lot when they came out :P - the consensus seemed to be that it made most characters look either psychotic or just terminally ill *smiles slightly*

    The point being it is still an FPS and not a MMO anymore.  Every level 40 bounty hunter, medic, etc has the exact same skills as every other level 40 bounty hunter, medic, etc.

    When the removed the ability to select skills they removed the heart of the game, I just don't like FPS's that much and adding roleplay elements is just dumber than dumb.

    - Jules is gone- helios is gone- soon the circle will be completed by bringing all the pre NGE love back- me hopes! I will still take this game over WoW any day.  As long as they keep undumbing the game since chapter 6.

    hmm... ok MMO means "mass multi-player online" has nothing to do with whether it is fps or not. after all there is mmofps out there.(planet side) second of all now there is a wow like talent or expertise system so not all bh's are the same any more. now they are adding ch or its new name beast master in as a secondary profession with elements of bio-engineer and if it is succesful they are going to add in more like it so you will be able to choose kinda sort've like the old skill pool BIG kinda there but its better than linear style.



    also you can choose between fps and auto target and auto attack now. so it is fps or turnbase what eva you choose. but i agree with every one else. they shouldn't have done what they did to the game. even they know it was a mistake. hopefully they will get it back to where it was. it is going in the right direction. just really slooooooooooooowwwwww

    Have you not used the new expertise system then? It works in the same fashion the old skill tree did but more specialised for your profession

    You can play it like a FPS if you want or you can change your settings and have it play like a traditional MMO with auto-aiming and auto-fire.

    As was mentioned, through out last year they added expertise trees to all professions that allows you to specialise your characters profession to suit the way you like to play and various skills and abilities.

    The concept of Beast Master and Creature handler are the same, both allow you to control pets.  However, the working process of both is very different.  Infact, Beast Master is a much more indepth system then anything Creature Handler ever was.

    Reverse Engineering from Chapter 5 is a new system.  There was never anything like that pre-nge.

    Well, sounds like SOE is finally turning things around and doing like they did in EQ2, improving on what they already have vs. redesigning the whole game. Obraik, I respect what you say in reguards to this game, granted you are a fanboi of it but you tell the facts, straight up. Just want to let you know it helps some of us out there.
  • CiredricCiredric Member Posts: 723

    Too little, to late.

    So typical of SOE.

    Yes, but the point most of the refugees make is that you didn't have to specialize within your profession, you could customize your character by leveling up a variety of professions.

    Obraik reverse engineering is not new it was in pre-cu. Unlike you i know i played it and did reverse engineering in pre-cu.Ch/beastmaster/zookeeper is not new either. So before you speak know what your talking about. SOE has never had a new system or anything "NEW" since the nge crap. Everything is just rehashed redone resold as new. They even said on the poll about CH can u tell us with the least amount of programming I.E rehash/resell to bring back CH to the playerbase? Also for your information:



    CH/Beastmaster=pre-cu rehash

    Reverse engineering=pre-cu rehash

    Expertise=Pre-cu rehash without cross classing i might add.Also WOW rip off of there talent tree

    Heavy weapons=pre-cu rehash disabled due to NGE then re-enabled and sold as new heavy weapons which they never were.

    GCW=Pre-cu version better. NGE screwed everyone over reducing there rank and it just plain sucks now.



    So Obraik there ya go oh and by the way the screenshots arent new either despite what SOE tells you. So as the majority of us have learned Obraik you cant polish a turd no matter how shiny it is and displayed a turd is a turd = )

    Another example of why SWG remains the powerhouse of MMORPG's today.

    I fully expect SWG to overtake WoW in numbers before the year is out, now that the NGE has been tweaked.

    And i fully expect  Elvis to have a news conference shortly to anounce he to loves the NGE as well. I also expect osama bin laden will be captured before SWG makes a profit.

    Heh, what are you talking about?  The only RE system around Pre-cu, that is also still around now, was the Space RE system which works differently to the Chapter 5 ground RE system.  I played from Launch, there was never a RE system for the ground game.  If you think I'm wrong then by all means show me, but I'm 99.9% sure I'm right.

    As I said, Beast Master achieves the same overall goal of Creature Handler in that you have pets to control so they are simillar in that way, but the way you get and use those pets is very different to the way it was done with Creature Handler.  Beast Master is much more involved and engaging then CH was.  Unless you've been on TC and tried it out, I'm really not sure how you can comment on this.

    Beast Master is a hybrid of CH and Bio Engineering, I believe.
