Worse Mmorpg Ever! Read Here From Gamespot + Poll

http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/starwarsgalaxiesstarterkit/readers.html

Everyone is deleting their accounts, you must be crazy if your thinking of trying this game now....

Combat system is the worse joke ever, interface and controls are mediocre to say the least.

Soe is also the least user friendly company on the face of the Earth. People who post positive news on this NGE upgrade must be working for Soe or retarded.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON THIS GARBAGE.

    This guy sounds like the same guy who is crying because he couldnt solo krayts anymore. Yes it still needs work but i played from the first week for over a year and the game was unplayable at times.

    Im sorry your alpha class is dead and you have to deal with the fact you have a small wee wee and cant overcompensate by being an alpha class ::::20:: The game still needs lots of work but IMO its on a better path thatn before.

    True

    I am sick of all the complainers that threw their toys out of their prams as soon as the the new version came out.  They all had a good cry and cancelled their accounts within an hour of the new version coming out.

    I mean they gave it like a day before crying, I reckon they were just needing an excuse to leave the game and this was it, most of them had decided to leave before it was even released.

    I have played it from the start and I think when they iron out the bugs then it will be more playable, Its also going to bring new players in, and I reckon they wanted to lose the guys that fear change to leave the servers, better for all I reckon.

    His own poll proves him wrong lol

    Yup, for the first time ever, I've actually been having some fun trying out SWG. Especially the n00b tutorial is really good implemented (some bugs excluded ofc).

    Maybe the whiners will come back in 6 months or so once the bugs have all been fixed thanks to the gullable people have paid to beta the NGE?

    Whats really cracks me up is the number of new and returning players who seem to have really short memories about who SOE like to screw over the players - sure you may like what they have done this time around but theres always the next time.....

    Either that or people have real low expectations on customer service (or just don't value their money and time very highly)

    Well, actually it doesn't, since his first 3 answers are all pretty much the same answer. Add those together and they still outvote the positive.

    Okay your mixing insults in your post with the fact that your post count is only 2. There is nothing wrong with a post count of 2 when you are posting something constructive and non inflamatory. Since you aren't we are lead to believ since we dont have any prior posts from you to go on that your just a SWG hater and just want to sway more people to your cause. Now. I don't think the new combat is a joke. I think it's rather fun and an improvement from the old style. I don't work for SOE. I'm a war vet who just got out a couple years ago and now i'm in college. I'd say i'm not retarded.

    If I like the game and enjoy the game play, I honestly don't care what the customer service is like. I've been playing for awhile and know how horrible their service is. I really don't care though if the game is good. There won't be a next time either. The game base is now good enough to build on if they need to implement changes. Besides, I wouldn't care if they changed it again as long as it's fun. Change will keep people like me that get bored with a MMO fairly quickly playing their game.

    You need to re-tally those votes. Mediocre is not bad nor is it good. You don't count that one. You count the following 3 and the last two. The positive out weighs the negative.
  • WeppsWepps Member Posts: 1,322

    Again I don't think it's the changes themselves the players are rebelling against, as much as it is the incompetence of the management who have such a blatant disregard for those players.

    On the other hand, I read Anarchyart's "Be careful what you wish for" post, and I'll say this...

    A year ago, the forums were lighting up with comments to the effect of "the SOE people need to make major changes to this game, but they just won't ever develop the balls to make the hard choices."

    Those people who spoke those words...are now sorry they did, or are among the long-gone of those swearing off SOE products.

    The game didn't NEED major changes, except in ONE area - make it a game. Up to Tuesday, it was NOT a game. Now, it's a broken down new game in which the vast majority of what's promised isn't even truly implemented yet due to the massive bugs and game play issues arising from this.

    Their incompetence once AGAIN has led to a miserable release of a major patch.

    If they had released it clean with all the promised results of this change, perhaps the players wouldn't be quite so vocally in the negative, but this is what happens when you HONESTLY JUST DONT CARE ABOUT YOUR CUSTOMERS.

    The management involved in the TOTAL SWG fiasco that has existed since the day this product began development are the ones responsible for this disaster. They are the same people. If it were up to me, they'd be lucky if they could get a job stuffing McNuggets for a living.

    The changes themselves could be the best thing ever to happen to an MMO design, but they will never be accepted by a playerbase tired of being pissed on by SOE.

          The old SWG was dead as a mmo could have gotten. Then came the NGE. It makes it a whole new different game and offers a well balanced good starwars time. If you don't like it that is fine, but don't go whinning like a little bitch to find people to fight for you cause that don't even know what is really going on. SOE knows that more people like it than the complainers simpley because they see how many people are playing online and they know who posts what how many times in the forums.
  • mistereous1mistereous1 Member Posts: 13

    This is my first post here, with thousands on the SOE website and SWGCraft.com

    My opinion of the NGE is not so much that it sucks, but it took all of the thought process out of the game.  Examples are the new weapon crafting system.  Instead of having four lines to experiment, you are now down to one line.  There is no way to distinguish yourself from someone else.

    The same was done to armorsmith with the Combat Upgrade.  Jedi is now a starting class, so in a timeline with 3 known force sensitives (Luke, Darth, the Emperor) you now have thousands running around.

    As far as the gameplay itself, It feels more like a console game than a computer game, not that that's bad, but it's not what I want from a computer game.  Melee vs. Ranged is extremely unbalanced.  So jedi is now the weakest of all the combat professions.

    IMO the new target audience is the 12-15 year olds that are less concerned with long-term challenges.

    Don't forget Leia and Yoda. Everybody seems to forget 2 for some reason.

    That's crap.. Mediocre is a bad review. If your lover told you that sex was mediocre, you'd be insulted.

    bwahaha... some idiots actually think it was a great game. Give me a break.. try WoW, hell try anything they're all better. At least the NGE was an attempt.. if they were going to make it fps like though they should have gone all the way.. I tried the NGE, and there's something very silly about making a game point and click when the mobs don't move.

    "Instead of having four lines to experiment, you are now down to one line.  There is no way to distinguish yourself from someone else."

     

    Yup, they have dumbed down the game very much so, this is one of the reasons I am against the NGE.

    I guess the people that are liking it atm have never liked crafting. Honestly though ive been in game for 5 hours today chatting with people and visiting spots like dant mo/mos cantinas, theed, i really dont see more than 1 or 2 people anywhere.

    Really sad. To the people who are staying :) hope you brought your lifejackets, guess you didnt notice the word titanic in the back of the game's box.

    Not true, at this point in Star Wars History we are between episodes 4 & 5.  Ben Kenobi is dead, Yoda is missing, and Leia has not been confirmed force sensitive, that didn't happen until after 6.

    Does my heart good to see so many people who are trying it themselves and having fun. Sure it's not perfect, but I cancelled CoV because I know I'll be playing SWG now. They put the Star Wars back in SWG. I liked it before, I love it now.

    Whether confirmed or not, Leia was still force sensitive. She just didn't know it yet. Not that it matters. 3, 5, what's the difference in the face of thousands?

    You've noticed a small increase...very small.  People are requesting server merges so that they can rebuild their decimated guilds.  Also, the reason you are seeing some servers go to medium is because of the free trial offer.  After that wears off...SWG will be pretty much dead.  I have seen whole guilds of people now up and quit in the last couple of weeks.  One whole player town literally vanished on Tatooine/Tarquinas the whole town made up of about 60+ buildings.  The guild that ran it deleted everything and quit on masse out of protest because of the NGE.

    Based on the information known at the time of SWG, Leia isn't force sensitive.  It doesn't matter, however...you brought it up.  I will agree with you though...thousands of glowstick swinging humanoids running around is absurd.

    I wasn't aware there was a free trial as well...that explains the population boom.  In the end, In my opinion, SWG is now targeting a different audience.  Whether it works or not, the NGE is a desparation move...this is the second overhaul in the past 6 months.  And unless you're prepared to shell out money for ToOW don't expect to level very much.
