I left the game back when the CU came out. So far I haven't seen any reason to go back to it and the NGE only reinforces my opinion. SWG is terminally brain dead and they need to shut off the life support. Let someone else other than SOE take a crack at making a decent SW MMO.
I don't actually recall anyone saying that the combat sucked before the CU and before the NGE. Everyone wanted balance, not a new combat system. The original system would have been fine if they had just fixed the professions and bugs and for the whiny people that couldn't figure out macros they should have just removed them from the game then instead of waiting this long to do it. The first CU was bad and I believe had it not been for Episode 3's release and the much hyped (and subsequently really bad) RotW expansion the game would have died with the first CU. I gave it a chance and the game was still fun, just different. But they didn't balance anything with it. They just made everyone need a group so unbalanced profs wouldn't look as unbalanced. The people playing SWG are not stupid so they kept asking for balance because 99% of them saw right through what the first CU was (a way of not fixing anything for those of you who don't play or were that 1%). Now the NGE is the exact same thing again. They changed the combat to take further focus off of things not being fixed. The noobs and jedi wannabes all went "What!?! I can be a jedi now and don't have to work for it? WOOHOO!" so they've temporarily forgotten about the bugs and stuff cuz they have a new glow stick to play with and all the vets who actually cared quit. So there's no one atm to complain. But in 6 more months it'll be the same thing again. Too many bugs, too many complaints, not enough console sales, and still no combat balance. I'd imagine they'll release another CU then to make more ppl quit and try to attract other customers back and make them look not so stupid. (too late imo)
Why does everything have to be about combat? Post-CU combat was a bit more than spamming specials while eating a cheesburger. If you didn't think so, I think you needed to try fighting mobs that didn't con grey to you. What about what they've done to the crafters? They've taken the biggest hits since the CU.
I started playing after the CU hit. I think the combat was as the other guy stated. spamming specials while eating a cheeseburger. I faught creatures that were 1 or 2 levels above me all the time, so your lame grey con mob accusation is wrong. Maybe some of us are just real smart and did't find the Pre-NGE combat system a challenge at all. I respect your opinion on the other things tho and I wish you the best of luck.

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. 09f911029d74e35bd84156c5635688c0

As opposed to pre-CU: Create macro go to sleep for 8 hours come back to a mastered profession. No I dare say post-CU had a little more challenge than pre-CU.
No, wait... there are so many problems with it, why don't we quietly start work on:
"The CU for the NGE" !
And just in case that doesn't double our subscriptions in the first month, we'll put a team to work on the super-secret "SWG: The Ultimate New Game Experience"...
Bah ! Who knows what the game will look like in 6 months time ? Can anyone say "revamp" ?
They have lost my 2 accounts, and I'll not be back, ever. This is not the game I signed up for. I would never have bought SWG:NGE.
