Jesus huh? Alright guess you can't back up your trolling. Anyway.. To the OP I definitely agree with you, I went back to SWG after many years away and I thought the game improved a lot. I found almost no bugs compared to pre-cu and I actually felt like I was having more fun. Now I do not agree with the WoW/EQ direction they took with levels, predetermined classes, and other various things they added for some reason.
I love sandbox games, one of my favorite games of all time had to be Asherons Call. It had great character advancement and it may of had "levels" but it felt more lively then even SWG in it's "glory days". I hope SoE keeps up the good work on SWG and all their games and I continue to hope they learn from their mistakes.

Back up my trolling? ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFL
that's a good one, no seriously, nice !

I am a vet of swg from launch day. I would like to hear more of what the OP has to say. The guy using this thread as a boxing ring can you leave now? Your point on this thread is noted, no need to continue high jacking this dialog. Honestly the op wording and descriptive writing were very nice to read. And I agree with the positive veiwpoints of this thread. Can we get back on topic?
Just to clarify some things about SWG for ya. Pre CU/Pre NGE Launch day moving forward the game was like waiting in line. what I mean was we had to wait for mounts and vehicles which took 6months or so. (It was kinda fun looking back when we used to walk places lol) Then we had to wait for Space combat which took a year or so. It was always a waiting game. Second (the hole template thing) There was always a flavor of the month because SOE would try and balance things with the patches, this went on for a long time too. Players will find a way to overcome. So years of this flavor of the month shit happend. SOE new early on they had a balancing issue. It was alot of work to compile data from servers and combat sheets to balance these 30 something professions. World of warcraft is pretty close to balanced almost. SOE took cues from BLIZZARD for the NGE. So did LOTRO(dont hear people whining much about that).
The CU happend for a reason. SOE had the data to back up a Combat Ubgrade, they had to do something. After a break and seeing what the CU offered I came back to see this. Finally balance I thought. There were alot of folks on the Servers for CU. People started grouping again doctors everwhere. Something still wasnt right though to many professions still(balance not there). The Vocal minority cryied and cryed and SOE listened. They buckeled. They did listen to you and the complied data that most disturbed customers dont know about. People wanted balance and grouping again instead of powerfull templates that could solo the highest content. They had to do what they did for the better of the game.
The chapter process would take a year to complete. By the end of 2007 SWG might just be a entire different animal
Anybody that wants to fill in some gaps I left feel free to do so. I believe the healing process for SWG vets is happening and may take some time before its over.
The minute a new expansion is announced (showing the the game will live on) I am going to resubbed and playing. Untill then I am kind of blah on if the game will even continue you for more then a couple years.
You know why you're enjoying it? because $OE didn't screw you over, you've just gone back and it's just like a new MMO for you. You haven't had your time spent playing been thrown out the window because someone wants his 10year old kid to play a WoW clone. Do you honestly think $OE care about you NGE players? they treated vets like dirt so don't expect anything special that you would get from other games.
When you get spat on i'll be waiting here ready to say "We told you so.".
First Grimreapez, I was probably screwed-over in more ways than one when I played Pre-cu. I had two characters. I didnt care about being a Jedi because my templates owned anything in the game at the time in pre-cu. First character I had was a CH and pistoleer. I owned pets for varied events. My norm was running around with two elder krauls. Bippo and Xkons MOM. I loved my CH/pistoleer more than any other templates i tried.
My other template was a TK/Fence/Pistoleer with 5k HAM the best armor money could buy, lots of muon,punch and spices. He would take out multiple characters at one time. He was a Imperial badass.
Now when the changes came(I remember) I was pissed. they took away my classses and gave some cheese stuff in its place. I even got into a argument with a CSR. Only to be banned and booted from both SWG forums and chat when it wasnt under moderation. I know that pain. I know the bullshit responses the SWG team at the time gave. I went back to DAOC and then join WOW later.
As I stated before, you are nothing more than a disgruntled veteran with very narrow vision. The game has changed significantly for the better. You are telling me nothing I havent said in the past. I have at least 50 posts about SOE,Smedley,SWG or any of the other SOE products I bashed in the past.
But as I explained in the post above. Its different now. If you do not like it and just want to hate. Go kick yourself in the NADS twice! Once for being idiot enough to keep bringing something up that happened years ago. Another for being so narrow in your views. You remind me of my ex-wife.
Now to be nice. you should let bygones be bygones. Your going to live your life on a grudge? Life is too short. Try opening yourself up more. Good Luck.
P.S since you are a disgruntled vet you cannot post anything hateful, disruptive or arrogant than what I have posted in the past or read.So please refrain from doing so. I dont like reading the same crap over and over .kk. Tnks
Nothing is different!
$OE are still a bunch of money hungry a-holes who don't give a crap for their customers. If you want to sit here and become a fanboi then go straight ahead it doesn't bother me, but i'll be anti-$OE and Sony for the rest of my life. Good Luck!
I don't need to be wished luck by a fanboi who doesn't see what's infront of him. Well GrimReapz..
Just have to say perhaps you are right. I am a fanboi. Not to SOE nor a gaming company, nor actually a individual game. Lets me give you a example of my fanboiness.
1. between 1977-78 I went and saw Star Wars 156 times at a movie theatre. From its first day of camping 3 days to be the first in on its release.
2. Own 106 star Wars figures from 1978-2005. None taken out of the package. All mint condition. Everything from Darth Vader to the cantina players to Luke, Leia,Yoda. Name it, I probably have it.
3. Own 4 different collections of the Star Wars trilogy, both VHS, DVD.1988-2005. Also own the whole Star Wars series on DVD.
4. Own the Star Wars Xwing/Tiefighter flipbook game(1988)
5. Own 2 full sets and more of the Star Wars trading card game.
6. Own the Star Wars bookset rpg game with 4 expansions.
7. Have a movie theatre poster of each movie released since 1978.
8.Own a original Lightsaber(the flashlight and tube one)
9. Have replicas of most Star Wars ships die cast and plastic.
10. Have at least 13 books of Star Wars.
11. Own pretty much every video game minus 2 that was ever made with a Star Wars theme in it.
So, yes I am a fanboi. Just not the one you think I am. I have always had a deep love for the Star Wars Universe. So I do enjoy SWG in its current form. I will continue to play it. As I said. I do not care about SOE or any other game company in this regard. Now if you said something about George Lucas. I would fight you in the forums to no end.
P.S What I said about SWG in my review is correct. It is a good game and I was fairly detailed with it.
That's good that you enjoy Star Wars, there's nothing wrong with that, if anything I would encourage people to watch/read everything because it's awesome. The game itself is probably fun right now as you have said, I would say your opinion on the current game is way more valid then mine.
But even though the game is good doesn't mean SOE or LA for that matter wont try and pull another stunt like they did with the NGE, it might not be to that scale but they will have their tricks here and there. I guess that's your choice when it comes down to it, but i'm still going to be here voicing my opinion no matter what.
Oh and i'm not trying to troll this topic or anything i'm simply replying to what's been said.
