    very much so, especially as of tonight

    ch. 6 just went live bringing story telling and Beast Mastery forums.station.sony.com/swg/posts/list.m.  both are very original and something you wont see in any other mmorpg.  with the new chapter, ive seen a lot of old players return and new players as well.. several servers are on the heavy/medium load.. numerous servers on the medium load.

    Yeah i just reactivated and transfered a character to bria from corbantis. Kinda weird seeing all these people all over the different planets. Brings back alot of good memories. I am having a blast right now geting my house set up and my inventory all packed away in the house.

    My computer can run the game with every maxed even enviroment shadows and player shadows. Game still looks better than anything out there. I think its the scope and art design.  Take some points off for foliage but pretty much the size and scope of the vistas and view add alot of points. Character models give it extra points too. Customazation more points. Any way I am glad to be back and I am ready to dig in.

    RIght now I am solo and lookin for new friends on bria. I am imperial lvl 80 commando, name is Osharu.

    Its worth grabbing the trial to see if you will enjoy it. The game has moved on since the big NGE back in 2005 and alot of those old features have returned to the game.



    Picking the right server is the trick and places like Bria, Bloodfin, Starsider or Euro servers like Chimera and infinity are extremly busy right now.

    so far this update has taken 3 hours to update and still going. are the servers down??

    3 hours? i just installed the game again yesterday Star Wars Total Experience and i downloaded all the updates including the obi wan expansion in just about an hour.

    Maybe something is slowing down your download speed through the launcher?

  • XantaxXantax Member Posts: 89
    possibly. i am going to have to check my processes and network. as far as i know there are no interruptions. i have nothing else running on the net. btw, i am on a router shared 2 mb connection for 4 pcs. 234kb download, 128 upload, with connectability.



    Edit: there is absoutly nothing interrupting the connection.

    Not sure how, but i know its possible. Have you tried to check what the download speed of the launchpad is? thinking of while you are updating checking the launchpad with a program like net limiter maybe? to see how much kb/s it use?

    Also i got a 4mb connection, so that may be why it is a bit faster here, but anyway 3 hours just for chapter 6, its seems to be a bit to much, so there must be a problem somewhere...

    Damn, thats funny. Watching someone make an outright lie in order to make a dying game seem slightly better. Storytelling has been done before, and even crappy grindfest Korean games have comparable beast mastery features.

    mines taking a long time too, but i have to leave for a lil bit so i'll just check when i get back
  • SWGLoverSWGLover Member, Newbie CommonPosts: 539

    It'll be worth the download, believe me. 

     

    The game has a lot of bitter older players that went whining and crying after some changes were made to the game ( the Jedi class had to be nerfed as it was just too powerful and affected game balance - the current Jedi's have no complaints, but the "vets" act like SOE killed their mama.....sad to see people act that way, but there are complainers in every game and most of those complaining on these forums haven't played the game in years, so they're not exactly a good source of real info about the current state of the game ), but it has a nice strong population with nice updates on a regular basis.

    It's a fun game with great CSR and a DEV team that's dedicated to listening to the fan base ( minus the whiners, of course!   )

    Remove profession, wait 2 years, add back.  OMG new content!!!!

    See what I mean?

     

    The whiners tend to be so disruptive that this forum gave them their own little place where they can gather and complain among themselves - while the rest of us still *play* SWG and have fun, instead.

    I can't understand that level of hate and unhappiness over a computer game.......

    ouch.. the only thing missing here is the ever clever "nub" name calling

    rock on! :) 

    and..well im curious what game has storytelling like they have in SWG right now.. and please point me to a korean grinder that has anything similiar to beast mastery swg has right now.. Id LOVE to check those out :D (speaking of blatant lies)

     I never said they pioneered either of these damn systems, just that they took an original approach.  no lies here, they are both very original

    as for removing creature handeling and coming back with beast mastery, ask anyone whos currently playing and experienced beast mastery how it compares to creature handeling.  its a lot more involved, probably the best pet system in any MMO currently

    but ya, it is pretty messed up that it was removed, revamped and replaced.. not sure why but it just is.  (for the record i never called that new content)

There was no balance, every class was better at some things then others. Some of those classes were better at being broken and not working right. Jedi were over-powered. The definition of an Alpha class, which is what they were. A reward for doing whatever you had to to get it. A grind, so be it. It took time to grind through 32 professions. Now, jedi is nothing more then a lure to get kids to play.) - the current Jedi's have no complaints (cause there are none because they are horribly gimped and everyone can be one so whats the point), but the "vets" act like SOE killed their mama.....sad to see people act that way, but there are complainers in every game and most of those complaining on these forums haven't played the game in years, so they're not exactly a good source of real info about the current state of the game ), but it has a nice strong population with nice updates on a regular basis( nice strong population, on one of the many servers. Yes, one server has a medium population as opposed to all servers being medium to high pre-cu days).
    It's a fun game with great CSR and a DEV team that's dedicated to listening to the fan base ( minus the whiners, of course!   ) Yeah...

    do not worry yourselves. i am not one to be easily swayed, if you check other threads from different games, that will be proven.



    i am currently started to loose interest in this game, it might have something to do with 11 hours of updates still downloading and no action...

  • redsoxfanredsoxfan Member Posts: 16
    it has 5gb of updates says a dude i was talking to, and im still excited lol, even though i have no clue what to do or how to start
