My God $OE just can't get it right ... now they realize combat is too fast

Yes ... $OE AGAIN has realized they didn't do something right. They have FINALLY figured out that the combat under this POS NGE is WAAAAAAY too fast. It only took them 5 months of people complaining to figure this one out.
I honestly believe that $OE and $LA NEVER closely look at what they are putting out since hundreds if not thousands of times over the last 2 yrs and 9 months they have REimplemented stuff they have taken out.

WHAT ABOUT STAR WARSY AND ICONICCCC!!!!!

SOE knows what you like... You don't!
And don't forget... I am forcing you to read this!
I just get numb, reading the moronic "discoveries" made by SOE. So in 1-2 year's time (after the NGE has been shutdown) they will "discover" that SWG pre cu was a better and more fun game than the NGE.

SWG pre cu - never forgotten.
I guess they've actually noticed that there is writing on their wall.... and I think a couple interns started reading it to them.
Slowly.

Quite, I thought more "star warsy" and more "iconic" with plenty of "kill, loot, repeat" = more fun?
Seems that it's taken nearly 12 months of falling profits for them to accept the truth that the majority prefered pre-cu! What gets me is it doesn't take an Einstein to work it out, but I believe that SWG is already too far gone now.
Even if they had a rollback to patch 9 I wouldn't touch it, mostly due to all the bad blood between me and $OE. I just couldn't trust them not to screw me over and lie to me again, and would be wondering what nasty suprises were around the corner constantly. I suspect many former customers feel this way and $OE has lost alot of business from other MMORPGs and thier potential customers due to this.

LOL ! I had the very same in mind b4 reading it even.
I have posted in another thread last week, that i checked NGE these days when i found out, that one of my cancelled accounts was on this "unasked 15 day trial".
I said, the way of movement and combat in the NGE reminds me of an old mickeymouse movie in fast forward.
Ugly ugly...
But isnt it really amazing ?
All they changed are going slowly to be reverted, introduced by a devsposting starting with the famous words
"We found out...."
No shit sherlock? So you found out ?
Hey ! What about reading your frigging forums, so you could have "found out" before 82.86% of the customer decided to play (irreversible) another game....

The best post from over there, hats off Benoki!
I was one of those dying for the REBALANCE.
It never came. People left. The CU arrived, some came back, hoping it was the REBALANCE. It wasn't. They left again, and took more with them. Failed.
The NGE dropped on us. Tens of thousands left. Failed.
Who forced you to get buffed? Nobody ever forced me. I hunted unbuffed. I hunted buffed. I liked to choose. Somebody made you wear comp armour? Not me. Anyone force you to afk spam /headshot3? Me neither. Camping rampant? Exploits everywhere? umm, dont we pay people to sort that out? why didn't they?
If the devs decided to make SWG a 3D top down isometric game, and were adamant that it would not change back, would they be right? should we support them? If they decided that chat and crafting were redundant, just because they were adamant it would not change back, should we all force a grin and pat them on the back?
Of course not.
Its all very well to say 'aww man, be positive, lets move forward', but if we are moving towards a dead game whats the point?
What flexibilty are the devs showing to reward your positivity? Flat out refusals and stubborn bullheadedness.
This whole dialogue is a joke. If you agree with the devs you are 'right', disagree and you just dont count.
whats the point?

This game is going to PS3. If they allow PCs to still play, they will make PC players adapt to the PS3 setup.
So in about a half a year, the servers will close. My guess is crafting and ent will be removed, Pex will be fired, lots, resources, crafting, guilds, cities, and all that will be gone. Servers wiped and reformatted to be a playground for headset wearin', button mashin' folk, who will be able to mash buttons all day and not care about anyone else.
I mean, we all honestly think they care about changes that will help us? No way. They are worried about how it will play on PS3. Right now, it sucks too bad for the PS3 format in terms of combat, which is the only real system that has to work well for PS3.
At least the last time I was in a product testing group, they gave me ten bucks and donuts.
Sick stuff man. Stuff that will kill this industry if left unchecked.

Well, what do you expect when you are paying for an Alpha-state game that is not only live, but being charged for?
In the end, I think the rest of the people left playing SWG would be content with a rubber ball with the SWG logo and would gladly pay $15.00/month for said rubber ball...
Of course, it won't work. Until LucasArts realizes that the PS3 will not be their cash cow, there's nothing to do but wait. We can only hope that when LA finally figures that out, they take steps to bring back people they've alienated. I'm not holding my breath.
