On a much better note, I talked to Blixtev today and he believes that the re-mastery bug is now fixed and that it will be on your servers asap.

I'm sorry guys, I can't go in to details on what the new project is but, I am staying on SWG so you'll still see me around.

 

I cant imagine its an expansion honestly. An expansion for a player base of 40k seems ridiculous but SOE has found ways to cut corners (and costs) many times before. It would have to be one hell of a cheap expansion for them to make their money back from such a low subscriber base.

The announcement is slated for E3 apparently

    I think you guys are totally exaggerating this...a new project could mean so many things especially as a computer game maker.

    If theres one thing i have learned about SOE, it is that their new "projects" are all lame and stupid things, probably something pointless like Re adding new weapons or some crap like that, which they can talk up like it is a huge thing. This new project probably doesent mean diddly squat. They like to keep us rolling and make it look like they will give us what we want, but it is always just the opposite...

    Damn ... "new project" .... could be literally ANYTHING.

    I seriously doubt a new expansion. LOL what am I saying!!!!! I said that thinking that they wouldn't put out an expansion with out fixing the bugs they got now ..... silly me .... I should have known better.

    Maybe it is an expansion.

    In a last ditch effort to milk everything Star Warsy and Iconic out of the franschise, expect a Hoth setting or even the option to be Emperor for a day!!

    Yea I would seriously expect the expansion to be Hoth. Only now, after they have lost 90% of the player base, who asked, begged, and wanted Hoth for ages will it be added to the game, in a desperation move to pull them all back, it might work...maybe. But they would have to put battlegrounds back in with it, with full scale battles (PvE, EvE and PvP) featuring AT-AT's, Snow Speeders and a twitch style combat to go with it. In other words....doubtfull.

    I dont give a damn if they add every planet in the star wars universe known to man.

    Only way they get my $15 a month is:

    1)Rollback to any pre-NGE-and i mean everything changed back, no half-assing it.

    Until that happens-this game is dead to me and many others. I am going to go wipe my ass with the SWG cd's now image

    So in short:The game is dead.And they won't get my money ever again. Bunch of morons.

  • SelothSeloth Member Posts: 388

    nah, they are finally going to the do the famed Smuggler revamp, and if you are a master smuggler or ever have been then you get a new capital ship for you and your friends to fly with. 

    Seriously who know what they are up to this time, but they do now have time to rework the code for ps3......

  • akewlguyakewlguy Member Posts: 118

    no one cares about smugglers you noob

    swg go back to pre-cu and nge lovers all 3 of u get banned from soe games good riddens

  • Darklighter1Darklighter1 Member UncommonPosts: 250
    who cares what they are working on?  No matter what it is, they will screw it up anyway.  It's what SOE does.  The fact that this could be an expansion they make people pay for just shows they have no clue.  As much as they have screwed the pooch on SWG, they expect people to PAY for something new???  Incredible....

    Hopefully they're working on a sub setup for SWG and pre cu servers.

    HAHA Last thing SOE should want to do is make players pay for an expansion.

    Can they get any more retarded??

    Agreed 150%. You took the wind out of my sails.

    But for me I will take it one step further. The ONLY way i will come back at this point is if it was preCU and the Devs PROMISED not touch the core of the game.

    Otherwise $OE, $ONY, and $LA can burn in hell.

    SOE have to suck it up, supply a pre - NGE server or two (maye the defunct japanese servers) and give a token free couple of months to say sorry. Most likely from scratch, so new chars all round. Any business, if it is to succeed, has to appease its customer base. In one fell swoop it could stop all of the angst and hate toward them (well most of it) Scrap official forums a la DAoC (send a ticket for nerfs), Keep NGE servers for the PS£ crowd, though i doubt posters here would buy it (xbox,xbox)  and let us get on with it.

    The way i see it, complaints and whining caused all this. I was pwned many a time, so improved my char rather than moaning someone was better than me, and my char was pretty tasty. Mathematically, there must be a top limit as to how good a char can be with all the right skills and  mods, so what would be the problem.  I was never bored and couldn't see a time when i would be. Give us our game and let us play it.

    It's a new project that is NOT SWG, otherwise he would say nothing.

    Does anyone remember Q-3P0? What happened to him? He went on to a new project too.

  • ObraikObraik Member, Newbie CommonPosts: 7,261
    Why'd he say he say he's staying on SWG then? :p

    n00b? moi?

    RIIIIGHT....

    kweln00b go back to south LA and leave the adults to talk about grownup matters.

    and it is easy why the dev in question can work on a new project AND stay on the nge staff....nge with lack of players/complexity/content/working features = part time gig.....

    To be serious for a second, if I were to lay odds on anything, i am goign to have to bet on expansion. Not because it makes any business sense, but because we are talkign abotu SoE here, you remember the leader in MMORPG!

    If any of you go out and buy this new expansion (which we all can assume they are working on) and they still haven't fixed the core game yet then I will find each one of you and whack you over the head with $OE's nerf bat. image
