  Long overdue, much needed and highly controversial change.

  It will be a rough ride the next few weeks but it will put the "multiplayer" aspect back into SWG.

  Cant wait ....

   

  May the Force be with you !

  and

  Have fun

  Whilst I don't agree with large parts of the changes and feel that the overall gameplay is being dumbed down excessively to cater to one small section of the playing population (the PvP'ers), its more the rush to publish an excessively ill-thought out and badly coded major game mechanic change that has this veteran player highly annoyed.

  The storage houses are back up again with a years worth of maintenance, the account has been cancelled and I will most likely be back in about 6 months once the changes to the changes have been made (or if they decided to finally redo the crafting professions as they have been promising for close to 2 years).

  For those that are interested, the Force.net has a nice review on the changes that are being implemented.

  Don't leave it 6 months, they might delete your houses.

  
  Every time they release an update before the major bugs are worked out they say afterwards that it will never happen again.
  And then it happens again. And they promise it won't happen again. Etc.
  Anyone who has been playing on the Test Center servers will tell you the game still has a bunch of bugs and isn't at all ready for release.
  But SOE don't care, so what can we do?

  Well 5 months then

  They seemed to have gone very quiet on the planned expired account wipe though (this was first supposed to take place in Oct '04) so I guess the chances of this happening are slim to none atm. But with SOE you never know.

  Ive been Testing The Combat Upgrade, it just is not Ready, There are still to many Bugs. Such As Ablities That are listed in the skill sheet, Not Existing for the player, Skills That Dont work ( that used to give a Reason WHY ), Skills that Do not Act Like They Are Intended to act, (EX. Concealshot, Is supposed to be an attack that is "unnoticed" Creatues hit with the attack Run straight to the attacker and Blow their cover, and PVE has been NERFED, the game has become more geared towards PVPers. when it should be Balanced between the two

  SOE announced some incoming upgrades to their sci-fi MMORPG Star Wars Galaxies. The news should excite fans as this week will unveil a wealth of combat upgrades. Included are full details on the updates:

   

  If we fans are so excited why did a mass protest crash Bria last night... we Bugfinners at least waited until we got the system message about server down to gather in C'net.

  I am looking forward to the new weapons and armor... but little else about this CU.

   I was at Star Wars Celebration 3 and the SWG breakfast - I have observed the upgrade , you are not going to like it  , it will lead you to cancelling your accounts and go elsewere

  SoE are liers, they dont listen to their salarypayers (aka players), they push all patches live with a thousand bugs, promise to fix but never do.

  That was their way the last 2 years, thats the way the next 2 years...if the game survives that long, which i highly doubt.

  80% of the playerbase dont like the "combat upgrade" (which is a whole new game re-invention btw), so it throws the game back to V1.0, but this time with a comic style mickey mouse look, aka "poor copy of WoW".

  The reason to play SWG was cuz its an outstanding game, NOT like all the other look-alikes.

  They try to get the playstation/gamecube players by making the game more simple, more easier.

  SWG is going to die, face it, the signs are clear and not to misinterpretate.
  If you saw games going down ( i saw, 2 times already) you know how it looks like, like it looks NOW in their forums, no doubt.

  Other very good games are to be released soon, look at DD, Heros Journy, Vanguard etc.

  No1 needs the crap SoE is doing to the playerbase, simple and easy, period.

   Upgrade my foot more like hit with the NERF bat!

  Not to metion the bugs *!!!! FEAR!!!!*

  I for one am giving them til my accounts come due to fix this fiasco.

  But we all know what will happen in the end SWG is going down. It will die and SOE not listening to their player base and fabricating responses and NOT answering questions in the forums etc. Will be the cause of it!

   It appears that I am not alone with my concerns and problems wit SOE and SWG . As I enter the belly of the beast this weekend at the SWG breakfast , I was blessed by tiggs herself being the first person she yellow tagged to see George Lucas and badged me , I was dressed like Han Solo since I am to them such a scoundrel , I am wondering what Bruce , Grava , Consul Andy and Tiggs are thinking now.  Lucky that the Grandmaster Jedi Lucas saved them from an embrassing confrontation  as well as an immediate notice of a lack of security on their part - fools.

    The new combat upgrade they just released is not worth a quarter.  If you are thinking of buying this game I would not advise it at this point.  Unless they do a server roll back to the old system the new Star Wars Galaxies is useless and just like every other MMORPG out there.
