| Another SWG Combat Upgrade >:( | |
|
Gradius - ex-Student  |
Ok, for those of you who still play Star Wars Galaxies, you're well aware that yet another CU is coming out within the month. I'm sure you remember the first CU, which totally ruined the game for most of it's players at first. There they added combat levels, took away stat migration, toned down the doctor profession (now they are as useful as entertainers), amongst other things. Well, if you thought that was bad, check the following links to see what they are changing now: Letter from the game producer Julio Torres General NGE (New Game Enhancement) FAQ Let's take a look at this shall we? First and foremost, there will now only be 9 professions. That's right, you read that correctly. 9 professions. These include Bounty Hunter, Commando, Entertainer, Medic, Officer, Smuggler, Spy, Trader, and last but not least, Jedi. Yes, Jedi will now be it's own profession no different from the rest. What's the point of this "enhancement" you might ask. According to studies from players, fan bases, and outside critics the game has too much content. In other words, it's too hard for a brand new player to learn everything there is to know about the game in 1 day. Also, in opposition of what the game was originally designed for, the profession revamp gives players the chance to play the role of their favorite Star Wars characters, rather than play their own role in the SW universe. Let's move on to an issue just as severe. Items will no longer decay. The economy of SWG revolves around crafting, the decaying of items, and purchasing replacements for them. Without item decay, crafters will now be screwed. Along with this, the economy of SWG will also be screwed. Now people will buy the best weapons, clothes, vehicles, etc., and never have to replace them. Goodbye crafters. All in all, the beauty that made SWG different from all other MMORPGs is being stripped out of the game. Not only that, but everyone and their mothers will be a Jedi. Now everyone will be the same professions, carry the same weapons, wear the same armor and so forth. Reminds me of Guild Wars. Sony has really done it this time. They took a freaking awesome game, added some of Slider's coding, and made it a game for every 10 year old to enjoy.

I enjoyed this game alot, post CU, but this looks like crap...especially the no decay crap...def gonna make alot of ppl leave, looks like i got out just in time _______________ Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker. Is it because he was a whiney farm boy from some backwater hack planet? No, it's because he was a FREAKING JEDI. He could block lasers with his lightsaber. He could levitate droids & rocks & crap with his mind. Come on, he choked two pig dudes with just a simple gesture. He cut off Darth Vader's hand and kicked him down a flight of stairs. He got his @$$ zapped by lightning from the geezer Emperor, stood up and said "s'at all you got b!tc#??" |

Quote: Currently, the early game has a steep learning curve and there is no clearly defined path of advancement or adventure. Many of our fans who bought the game did not see enough Star Wars style action early-on and ultimately left our world. It is our goal to change this and improve the experience for all players all players under 10 years of age*** _______________ In the navy and LOVING it!

This is a double hit for BHs. Good thing is that theres more Jedi and easier Jedi to hunt.......but the bad thing is...as Gradius so rightly pointed out...''Everyone and their mothers will be a Jedi.''......BHs are experts in PvP but now we will face packs of Jedi....... Also as I am 4434 in CH, i trained solidly during the Double XP days for this, only to find the tossers are taking it away. Retards. My deux cents.
