Ever seen a skateboarding ATAT before? SOE made one (see inside)!

RMOLF!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!11!!1!!!!!ONE!!!!1!!

This video actually played at E3! Can you fking believe it? I mean, can you actually Fking believe it?!?!!?  I STILL CAN'T! I'm seriously amazed at the mediocrity of it all. This is supposed to save SWG by bringing throngs of subs back? Please.
WATCH VIDEO HERE: http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=swggpdiscussion&message.id=825573

The battlefield looks sooooo lame.... all this stupid event appears to be is one giant PVE treadmill where the same soldiers keep getting dropped off on a timed release and they fight at the starport......boooring! Nice to see that the jedi can take out ATAT's and ATST's in one saber swipe, so we don't have to fear that it'll be too challenging, or realistic for that matter. hahhhaha!

The best part, by far, was the very end of this video: Watch in awe as the ATAT skateboards (that's right folks, it doesn't walk, it skateboards) at 150mph around the starport. HILARIOUS! It's officially the saddest thing I have ever seen.

Sadder still, is the fact that SOE isn't emberrased by this, they're actually proud of it. SO much so this was played at E3. lol. After watching this I still can't believe they had the balls, but they did.

There is no hope folks, anyone still holding out give up already.

    Well the actually video is preety good, well put together and all that. But the event itself just dosent interest me.

    The event sucks, devs are totally uninspired...

    Why not just make Vader appear in the event to fight, then he dies in the explosion and rez's himself, then flies through the air like Neo with his cape fluttering in the wind and his gigantic lightsaber +2 twirling around him fending off damage. Oooh, then they can have the Emporer set in a chair watching all the PVP carnage Mortal Kombat-style, saying "Round 1....FIGHT" and "Fatality!!"

    I -MIGHT- pay to see that...

    So let me get this straight You all say the event sucks and so on . Yet you say you have been to alot of events that were better . When it is nothing differnet than anything the game offered Pre-nge . The event is created using the engine the game is built with . When you say the events suck you are saying the game sucks pre/cu or post NGE .(because that was/is a majority of the content)   . When you are saying so because of how content is designed and works/Looks .You are saying the engine sucks . Therefor must not of liked any aspect of the game because Pre-cu post NGE the engine still is the same. The rules are different .

    What do you expect ? Compared to most of the live events that have happened this is definitely a little larger scale, and has a look a little different than the norm (X-wings, Ties, artillery are a few that stand out) .  Not to mention it is an event to open up a new avenue of high level questing . If this was put in back during Pre-cu I personally would of loved it .

    Honestly, if this event was put in during PreCU I might attend. But that's not to say it doesn't suck. The content in this event is already in-game elsewhere. The only difference is the city explosion.

    An MMO should never produce content that is available to players once because, after the event happens, all the hard work put into the event goes poof, as does the subscriptions it pulled in. They should work on making repeatable content like the Corvette. Players are still having fun on that one to this day and I bet it took much less dev time than the Restuss thingy.

    From the Dev chat today:


    Will there be any point to return to Restus once the quests are done? Both Mustafar and even more so Kashyyk are not much to return to once the actual quests are completed, bit different though since Restus is on a normal planet.

    <Swede> The video some of you have seen is not the end of the Restuss 'event'. After that part is done, the battle will be ongoing, with artillery strikes, bombing runs etc. The only real difference will be that there will now be quest npc's in the city that will not go away and that will provide repeatable content. The Restuss 'event' will not go away once it has reached its final stage (city in ruins, pvp battlefield with repeatable PvE quests). Only the build up to the battle and initial battle (showed in the video) will be a one time event on each server. You can find that here: http://swg.stratics.com/content/movies/swgmovie.php


    Basically, the stuff you see is a climatic introduction to a new series of quests.  Except with this, you need to do some work to get to the main quests, and you need to work together as a server.  Yeah, some of this stuff has been done in bits and peices at different events over the time of the game, and people have enjoyed those.  So, they're taking the bits that people have said they enjoyed and combining it together to create a story, one which you play a part in.  To me, it sounds like fun and I hope they plan on introducing new content like this in the future.
