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.

So far I've notice an increase of people online. Will have to see how this stabilizes over the next few weeks tho .
Many people say the same thing about Windows and Microsoft, yet neither is dieing
yep...my old server was "heavy"
==========================
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 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

When in doubt, troll.
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)
Gotta love those naysayers, eh?
I'm downloading the trial now, and will be checking it out tonight
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.

It sounds great, so great in fact, I pitty those who canceled - Some deluded SWG fanboi who pities me.
I don't like it when you say things. - A Vanguard fan who does too.

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.
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.

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

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.
