I was playing for awhile,the new beast master system was completely ridiculous! almost impossible to make a pet
it was sad when I spawned in lowca not a soul! boring then I tried bloodfin nothing but a bunch of little brats running around challenging low lvl players to duals.
THEN! yesterday I went in to play and a new update has made it extremely hard to kill NPC,s I ran up to a Blackscale lvl 81 I was a 90 jedi
sad to say I couldent beat a lvl 81 blackscale finally after 3 tries I gave up nothing fun in getting slaughter 100 times before winning
well SOE you really killed the game! to anyone wanting to even try going back forget it! dont bother unless your a nose picking brat!
resource prices are like 9999999 its ridiculous! just figured Id fill you in.
RIP sow
sad

Let me be clear not one person i know has any problem fighting a "normal" cl 81 mob, i mean i as Master Trader can deal with Cl86/87 mobs so let alone what damage a Combatant can do. This is meant for the comment below as it seems you think that people can't fight these "normal" mobs, as we all can, like i said if a Trader can do, a Jedi will most definitly. And well if its the Blackscale camp then the whole topic that is created makes no sense atall, regardles if someone is able to, its simple not meant, and sure some might try but then don't come to a forum complain about something you already knew would be hard or quite impossible to do.
When is a jedi not a jedi ? answer: in swg thats when! im sorry but a lev 90 jedi or any profession should be able to beat a lev 81 mob fullstop. perhaps not an elite master just my opinion.
as for the 99999999 over priced items yes that just people using there vendors for storage reasons that nothing new at all.
But hey its good news if SOE keep screwing up perhaps swg will close and a new one made by someone else will come out !
BioWare. 2009. See you there. .. .. i hope...(More Like I WISH hehe)
BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward.
Completely ruined now? It was ruined the day NGE hit SWG.
Says it all right there! As I said in other posts,... I really hope it was worth it for SOE and LA... to take a "Ok" game to one of the worst games ever... I would give them 2 thumbs up on that one.
Been there done that:
Asherons Call,SWG,AOC,D&D,COH,Anarchy Online,DAOC,EVE,Guild Wars,LOTRO,POTBS,WAR,WW2, and Rift
Yeah you cant kill whats already dead. Sony may screw things up again... but what SGE was is gone.
What if it's developed by BioWare, and co-published by LA and SOE... , would you still like it?

thats like dating siamese twins, where one of the twins is GORGEOUS, and the other twin looks like a burn victim.
If you were a master creature handler before NGE you are probably not rich, unless you kept another account and had some profitable crafting profession, or a active guild that went to places that allowed you to loot nice gear. Again you would have to put it on a vendor. I received from a veteran friend a few million credits he made that way. It gave me to buy some medium quality stuff to create a pet and picked Beastmaster. The pet has a cap of 43 or so points if that much, so compared to my creatures from before NGE it aint good.
I had to spend a lot of money with each change on Creature Handler. The armour droped, the levels changed, the specials came in, I lost track of the changes to be honest, but were many. So i needed BE pets with good specials. The levels changed so I could not convert older BE pets due to the patches and was forced to buy more BE pets to replace old ones. Then I had to go tame creatures again because those BE pets became worthless at a certain point, a little before NGE.
So playing since 2 weeks after the game went live, with max lvl master creature handler/BH, all i had of my own was 2 millions. The rest went to armour, repairs, weapons, droids, pets, stims, pet stims, and so on, plus ship components. If it wasn't for the heritage i got i could only make a totaly useless pet, so I understand what the OP means on what regards beastmaster.

This is most likely going to be the case, along with SOEs F2P model.
If you were serious about PvP, being a CH was not a good option, for many of the reasons you cite...at least after the Great Nerf of December '03.
It's true that the CU messed so badly with BE creature stats that many creatures that were decent in combat became uncallable..another example of the the devs capricious and cavalier treatment of the player base. They did the same thing with armor stats, with weapon stats, with pharmaceutical stats, with food stats. Hours of reasearch and crafting experimentation wiped out with a causal keystroke by the devs, destroying player accomplishments on a whim.
Then they do even more of the same, with a bloody vindictiveness, with the NGE.
CH, Jedi, Commando, Smuggler, BH, Scout, Doctor, Chef, BE...yeah, lots of SWG time invested.
Once a denizen of Ahazi
On my recent odyssey through SWG I recently discovered all of my slicing supplies and components were outright deleted.
Regarding the OP's point about inflation, it seems that with item decay gone and instances made more difficult, suits of "perfect" armor will drive around the 10s of millions range. The latter probably has a lot more affect on the price than anything.

Im not sure whats more shocking what your telling me or that your actually playing it LOL.That whole beastmaster thing was a joke to begin with its not even a proffesion or class just a poorly done WOW talent tree ripoff and whats with the bright colors and hardcore pokemon crap lol i thought it was bad before but not its like pink colored blue horned rancor i choose you!! WTF? What i would pay to kill this game off seriously i would pay monthly fee for this nugget of deer turd to be flushed so we could get a REAL star wars MMO non soe involved and little lucasarts as possible.

Try eve online. You might like it.
I can believe all the OP said about BM. It has been discussed via their forums many a time.
What I can't believe is that they increase difficulty even further? The PVE difficulty thread is at 64 pages the last time I saw it. There are plenty of posts, on thier forums, about the C6CD running off what little player base they had and people screaming for server mergers or free transfers to get off the ghost servers.
It would seem this is typical SOE mentality. "If you do not like what we have done, you sure ain't gonna like this." They almost HAVE to be trying to run people off now.
I just recently gave SWG a go. Played for 3 month got a Jedi and a Commando to mid 30's Got a Structure Trader to 90. Never once found a group and would count the number of people i actually saw(not gold spammers) in the low 20's(over the whole 3 month period). Now Im sure there were quit a few cl90 guys off doing CL 90 stuff on worlds my little 30ish toons would die horribly and instantly on, but I really tried I kept LFG on, I searched for those LFG I traveled around those planets I could, I shouted in the cities. NOT one group, NOT a single other person even with LFG tag on. I tried to like it and stick with it, I really did.

We all did at one point or another. Many people like to say us Vets are nothing but haters and are not giving it a chance. What those people fail to realize is we've given this game more chances than any normal company would get, let alone what any customer in any other market would give. It's a pretty strong IP that can bring that kind of loyalty (and blind devotion, of which I too was guilty). It takes some pretty stupid decisions to botch it up (I want to refrain from calling individuals stupid, but if you want to think it, I won't object).
Man, it's been almost 2 years and I'm still angry...

LOL the game has been ruined. However, thanks for the update. It's always good to know that SWG is one step closer to death! I just keep hoping for a remake with all the mistakes avoided. But yes, this game is blown to hell at this point.
Your not playing a game, your simply farming and your the reason why MMOs suck and are not evolving into something enjoyable.

Blame me all you like for down fall of swg i left with the other 300,000 players, perhaps the reason that mmo's might suck is due to players like you Luravi funding under par crap and allowing soe and the likes to get away with it.
By the way im no farmer, and i assure you when i played i was a skilled player and used decent tatics in pve and pvp and also there must be a point in a game where a player must be able to solo something and i dont think a lev 81 mob is that point.
and dont bother comming out with the i win button line that dont wash no more, clear your a jedi hater here hate me some more i was jedi pre-cu as well, shame they gave jedi away to lazy bandits like your self.
The Jedi I know in game have no issues soloing most Mob's on their own...if the OP were to invest some time in their character they'd probably find the same thing
If it meant by "starwarsy" to make Jedi a joke, they ..succeed. Do i have to go all over why NGE Jedi arn't nearly Star Wars like ?
some hints : starter prof , joke char abilities , joke handicaps compared to ranged.....

I have been playing swg now for over 4 years and in that time i have watched friends disapear and yes i play a jedi. I loved the idea that jedi was something to aim for that you had to overcome obsticals and adversity ( though the hologrind nearly put paid to my chance of jedi) then they brough out the village what a differance that made to my time it was a brillient idea and while i completed 14 of the 11 unlocks needed to become a jedi yes i did more then was nessisary just failed to collect enough xp to get the final quest.
I loved the idea that you could combine professions to make a unique character i was terris kai master/best master them tkm/doctor then they took that away from us to make thing less complated
At the moment i would say iam a casual player i have a lvl 90 jedi i prefure pve but at moment i getting my arse kicked by the few npc i bother about and most pc i pvp against :P yes it would be better if i didnt solo play but thats what i prefure so i guess i shouldnt whine about that
but apart from all that i still love the game iam not on as much as i used to be but i doubt i will delete GrayKnt becouse he has brought me much fun and iam hoping for a change in dirction foir the better
by way anyone know where there are any lootable default apperance boxs i miss the ones i had when they fixed the bug that made them
It's most likely because they're highly itemized. One thing I'm experiencing in PvP thus far is that itemization is crucial and very expensive, thanks to CH6 and the difficulty increase. No offense intended, Obraik, but I do think you look through a rose colored lens on some issues, though it's probably through no fault of your own.
You have the "lucky" advantage of a strong PA, as you repeatedly state. Joe Blow coming back into the game, on the other hand, has an uphill battle to fight unless they are lucky enough to find a very benevolent/experienced PA. Not many of those exist, even on populated servers. But, PA or not, unless they find a way to itemize they'll be ineffective compared to average players. Veteran loot/gear didn't convert very well and is easily outclassed by items crafted under the new system (surprise surprise). This is further exacerbated by the game mechanics favoring burst DPS (in the form of crits) over strategy.
Yes, time investment solves everything -- but I don't see my main character becoming as competitive with other characters unless I invest most of my online and personal time in it (not an option), and that definitely won't be in the 21 days before the Vet period expires.
