SOE needs to lose the rights... SWG should close... and a Star Wars MMO that actually lives up to Star Wars needs to come out... c'mon BioWare... please? hell anyone who'll make a better Star Wars MMO I don't even care who as long as it's done right...
BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward.
I seriously don't understand why SOE hasn't lost it's license yet, I can't imagine the amount of money that LA must have lost because of the whole NGE fiasco. When the emu's come out hopefully we'll see the end of that damned game, I liked it so much but then it got turned into the NGE for little to no reason.
Quoting people doesn't make you clever, in fact, it makes you all the more stupid for not bothering to read the quotes you post in the first place.
i still say LA has more to blame for the NGE fiasco then they let on. Hence why they arent doing anything about it
You would have to have a longish memory to remember the last good star wars game that LA made..i have news for you they dont care!!!!..its nothing but a cash cow for them.
And as for the deluded fools and the emu the mind boggles..
What exactly are you trying to show? Your post was locked probably because it was in the wrong section and the Mod directed you to a place that had general SWG discussions. From there though, I see nothing related to what you were trying to post about...
i'm not catching the gist of the OP... while I agree that Ch6 (and CH5 before that) introduced some changes, I dont think it was at all gamebreaking. I dont even call whatever combat system we have now the NGE... we moved beyond that and another system was introduced without the fanfaire. If anything, vets should be happier b/c it is soooo much more like the pre-NGE system than anything else. No, we dont have the combat queue but looking back on that system, I would slit my wrists having to wait around ... what a bloody boring system that was in retrospect.
The contents of this post do not necessarily reflect the views of MMORPG.com and its management.
The change couldn't have been done without LA's blessing just as the NGE was LA's idea as much as SOE'a. Yes SOE is sucking here but so is LA.
Bioware doesn't have the rights and even if for some bizarre insane reason they repurchesed them LA would still have enough control to come in and screw up a Bioware MMORPG version as well. IMO Bio ware is being smart by staying as faraway from the IP ands its LA people as possible
My impression is that LEC barely acknowledges SWG's existance, since they dont really do any of the development.
Especially now that the era of expansions are over for the game, LEC did have developmental involvement in ROTW and TOOW for the EP3 movie tie ins.
LEC's involvement in SWG consists of a couple of producer liasons and accepting or vetoing stuff that relates to the IP. Which is really all they've ever done.
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for salvation from LEC, or even hold out any hope that SWG2 (or whatever the sucessor is) will be anything but a NGE rehash/WOW clone. LEC is at least as badly mismanaged as SOE is.
LA is in charge of advertising, any interviews done with Devs, any information that is to be revealed to the community and even the appearance of the UI.
And the UI is absolutely horrific, ugly, and about as functional as a 1987 Yugo... Nothing to brag about.
I guess what I'm trying to point out is that LA rules over SWG more then you seem to think
The worst part about all of it is that we haven't seen anything to confirm/deny any of their involvement (what level they were involved) or even if they really knew what was happening.
SOE is great at 'marketing'. I'm wondering how difficult it would have been for them to dupe LA?
The information SOE gathers from their fans is laughable. They take what they want to hear and run with it. I'm sure they presented what they wanted LA to see and made LA believe they were simply giving the public what they wanted.
Again, SOE = clownshoes.
I personally don't care and really don't understand why there is still discussion of "who is to blame".
What makes me sad.. is everytime I read someone say how bad the Pre-Cu system was.
Oh wait.. don't start to respond yet. You know why? Because I actually loved that game.
It has NOTHING to do with me wanting to argue with someone. To prove that "my game" was better.
It has to do with finding NO MMO worth paying for. Then realizing I probably never will.. because the loud forum voices don't like the same game I do.
In many ways I feel that all these people that basicly cry for the same friggin clone that already exist...have their game many times over.
That's the only depressing thing left for me.. about the entire SWG fiasco... is that I will probably never find another MMO worth paying for. Because every company is going to keep making the same crap... that the vocal market wants..
No offense to anyone.. I just would like.. "something different".
Oh and I have no doubt that there are many people that liked old UO... and Pre-CU SWG. It just seems they get drowned out on forums... or don't even go to them. I'm not talking about SOE bashers.. I'm talking about a vocal market that can get the type of game we enjoy.. rather than this same crap over and over.
Also I realize its not "crap" to the people who like it. I just don't understand why they or dev companies thinking have every game be the same.. or relatively the same.. is good for the market.
I do agree with this. I think the worst part is that I haven't found any good alternatives that uses a system even remotely comparable.
I can say that I'm over SWG, although every I see something with Star Wars I tend to miss the old SWG for some seconds.

((honestly i don't care about the pre-cu, as i came in a little after it was gone. right about the start of the CU i think. Anyway, i would prefer just to go back to what i enjoyed, cu, even if some considered it broken, etc, it was fun. the only reason i left was because the nge completly changed most of what i liked about the game,(ie, the interface, taking my time in getting jedi, so as to stretch out what i loved about it, the rp aspect, and just the general feel of the game.
so as a somewhat newcomer to the game i just want the cu back at that. but even that i suppose is beyone reach atm.)
U right is beyon real if they rollback the game the dev are goin to get crazy on the code and there would be no more SWG. Well there would be no more SWG soon anyway
Playing: EVE Online
Favorite MMOs: WoW, SWG Pre-cu, Lineage 2, UO, EQ, EVE online
Looking forward to: Archeage, Kingdom Under Fire 2

The current live game is as much like pre-CU as a McDonalds hamburger is like a prime angus filet mignon steak.
It's about as much like pre-CU as current Britney Spears looks like pre-kids/rehab/shaved head Britney Spears.
Thank You tvalentine and cabalist !
You just dont get it do you Inat_mivea? Appearently you don't think anything is game breaking. Your still there and SOE thanks you for your support. Yeah Right ( /sarcasm )
C6CD, no change? Wonder around the 20 or so dead servers. They were not so dead before C6CD. If you actually think school is the culprit then wonderlands just around the corner, Alice. I played last year and school wasn't a factor. I could roam around Kauri and see actual players this time last year. Can't now. 74 pages on the PVE Diffuculty Forum now and 1 last night from the Gameplay section titled "PVE is Impossible" that got 21 pages just like that. 214 officers in the GCW on Kauri and 1/3 of them are alts! I knew most of those players.
Vets do not want re-worked, re-hashed, NGE versions of their game in any slice, shape or form. If you actually think BM is CH, go tame an animal. Have your mount follow you around. If you think C6CD is pre-CU or even CU, then respect to TK or Ranger or combine your professions. See, even an NGE starter can listen to vets. SOE even killed the free trial accounts ability to post on the forums due to post after post from vets saying, "This Ain't IT, I'm outta here again".
I knew people that thought the GCW change was game breaking. WHY? Because they LOST something! Why don't Pre-CU or even CU vets want anything NGE? Because they LOST something. Why don't people like your fantastic WoWed to the max combat change? (parry, parry, block, block, miss, miss) Because they LOST something!
SOE continues to change SWG even tho they have preached their repentance. The CUNGE development team maches merrily along. If you haven't found anything game breaking yet, give them time, you will. Or maybe not, who knows? Keep it up like this and there will be 20 die-hards running around on 26 servers with SOE screaming "SWG ain't dead. We'll get 100 bucks apiece from them all to transfer to the same server."
