Fortior	Posted - 2005.11.06 11:22:00 - [1] Anyone else but me who thinks we're getting more players in the near future? Lollerskates
Dak Hakin	Posted - 2005.11.06 11:30:00 - [2] So they are dumbing down SWG... _______________________________________________ If you fear the thorn, do not crave the rose
SengH	Posted - 2005.11.06 11:35:00 - [3] yeah sounds like the copied over what planetside was supposed to be and mixed them both together... the result? now both planetside and SWG suck. Could have been good games but SOE ruined them. Planetside beta was the most fun ive ever had gaming, retail however is as dull as a rock.
Corair	Posted - 2005.11.06 11:41:00 - [4] Edited by: Corair on 06/11/2005 11:43:31 I actually went on the Test Centers last night and today and it's just horrid. I left due to the Combat Upgrade (what a joke) and now... now I don't even know what to say other than "what the hell were they smoking?" Thought this quote was funny, though: "When Sony and Lucas set out, we said, 'How can we do this and not make another EQ?' We didn't want it to be all about Luke, or combat, or lock our players into a class. So we created a system that would allow players to switch professions during the game, and there would be a lot of gameplay around making that change. If you want to go from architect to scout we've created a system to make that happen." -Julio Torres Right now there's flashy special effects, 9 classes that you can't change out of, pictures of the main "iconic" characters for each of those classes (Luke is on the Jedi class) and it's all 3rd person shooting combat now. I laughed, I cried, I even died a little bit on the inside... Edit: Oh ya, here's a site with screenshots of the "skill trees" which there is zero customization: Linkage -------- I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code.

Galk	Posted - 2005.11.06 11:56:00 - [6] You realy have to feel for those that play it. "the game is moving from the 34 class mosh pit of skills down to a focused 9 iconic classes. There will be some concessions to players that have been around for a long time, but it'll be up to the players to decide whether these concessions are enough to keep them interested." Kick in the teeth or what, to those that stayed on after the combat upgrade. tbh those that are still kicking around playing will probaly continue to do so purely because of the addiction. But in the future id imagine that people will avoid starting up with a Soe mmorpg, i know i wouldn't even consider it after what iv'e seen them do with this. ----------- When they asked me if i knew you, id smile and say you were a friend of mine.

But in the future id imagine that people will avoid starting up with a Soe mmorpg, i know i wouldn't even consider it after what iv'e seen them do with this. True, but you're also missing the key issue for a TON of players - they JUST released a payed expansion that promised loads of content based on the CURRENT system that the NEW system doesn't even contain (they've completely done away with the Creature Handler profession and did a revamp of the profession and added items specifically for Creature Handlers in the PAID expansion!) People are outraged that SOE would keep such a thing in the dark while making endless promises about what they were going to do with the current system. There is already a class action lawsuit being filed by a few on grounds of unethical business practices among other things. When your players are suing you each time you screw with them, wouldn't you get the hint? "Star Wars: An Empire Divided" isn't far off... -------- I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code.
Galk	Posted - 2005.11.06 12:15:00 - [9] Well sure i was unaware of that, my post was about principles on the way they treated their commited players and not much else. If they did go as far as claiming content on the box of a paid expansion yet knew all along that these changes would negate all of that, then on ethic alone, id be outraged, and that would just bolster my previous comment. I don't pretend to know the legal issues of this, so i realy can't comment above what iv'e allready said, that being it's just poor showing from sony online, and it doesn't enhance their future image. ----------- When they asked me if i knew you, id smile and say you were a friend of mine.
Nafri	Posted - 2005.11.06 12:19:00 - [10] looks like the games doesnt go well enought basicly thy try to make it more like WoW, which may be good for new starters -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscription canceled
D'lor	Posted - 2005.11.06 16:40:00 - [11] Edited by: D''lor on 06/11/2005 16:42:00 Edited by: D''lor on 06/11/2005 16:41:08 Yep Fortior it looks bad for fan's of SWG, i stopped reading it about halfway through, what i did see was bad enough. Let's review though....Lucasarts, been know to make a good game or two here and there, but mostly games that feel rushed and incomplete it's like they looked at them and said "meh good enough" SoE...nuff said,as long as they can continue to push out expansion after expansion (with the same price of the actual game mind you) and sell them, they couldn't give a toss about what's going on in, at, or around their games. So is this really a surprise after all? My two cents.
Dark Shikari	Posted - 2005.11.06 16:58:00 - [12] I was talking to a friend who played SWG the other day, and he was commenting that the entire game was about to be ruined. No market, no economy. All items will now drop from enemies instead of being built. Etc, etc, etc. Stupidity. - Proud member of the [23]. Don't get the reference in my sig? Click it.
Slink Grinsdikild	Posted - 2005.11.06 17:10:00 - [13] Edited by: Slink Grinsdikild on 06/11/2005 17:15:17 EQ2 is shrinking, Planetsides devteam was cut back by 70% since release and now this.. Looks like they're not doing too well financially, and rightly so. Companies like SOE, Mythic and EA are money grabbers. They will crank out broken expansions for their games almost every year, which in the end makes it totally unplayable.
D'lor	Posted - 2005.11.06 17:35:00 - [14] Edited by: D''lor on 06/11/2005 17:35:03 Originally by: Dark Shikari I was talking to a friend who played SWG the other day, and he was commenting that the entire game was about to be ruined.

Oh man, if that's how it's going to be the Ebayer's are going to have a field day with that game. Your friend should get out while the getting is good.
Clementina	Posted - 2005.11.06 20:16:00 - [15] Sony Online Entertainment is making new strides in the MMOG industry. Advancing on the paradigm that it is possible to make people pay to be beta testers, SOE in their game Star Wars Galaxies is now making people pay to be alpha testers.
Arti K	Posted - 2005.11.06 20:48:00 - [16] Wouldn't it be cheaper for them to make a star wars skin mod of diablo II and just buy the rights from blizzard?
Saeris Tal'Urduar	Posted - 2005.11.06 21:19:00 - [17] You know the #1 problem with SWG is, why this wont be any better than what came before. They have no passion for their game. They are making the changes strictly for monentary reasons. Not to make the game better, Not to fix whats broken, Not to make an improvement, Not to increase enjoyment, Not to make the game more fun to the people playing it or others comming into it, And not to make something different. I wanted so bad to have SWG as my second MMOg I'm a very big fan of the SW universe. But you know what it was at its basic, AO with a different skin. Just another MMO just like all the ones before it. Yes, I'm sure some of the writters, programers, coders, artists have a real passion for SW. But for the people who make decisions.."Hey look at SW universe lots of people like the movies and books. Lets do a MMO and make millions - Hmmm let use EQ as the model keep costs down and we know people like it." (Lack of imagination 4tl) Three years later Our subscriptions are down on all our SOE games (yeah, dumbasses they are all clones just with different skins. Lack of imagination 4tl) Lets see what is successful. - (at the moment) - Ahh lets copy Guild Wars -Who cares if people have invested 2 1/2 years of monthly payments . - F'em! - (Lack of imagination 4tl...dumbasses) They will never get it. As more and more people find EVE (you just dont see it advertised like other MMO's) it will get bigger and bigger because, It is different, It is enjoyable, It is an improvement compared to whats out there, Its not broken, (bugs yes, but not broken) It is a better game. And most important, *CCP has passion* for what they created**
Astabon	Posted - 2005.11.06 21:26:00 - [18] Sad. I was't a heavy Galaxies player 'till Jump to Light Speed. I had been in the original beta and didn't like it. Knew the game wasn't ready. The space expansion made me pick it up finally. It was a lot of fun, but player created content was always the key. Not sure how CCP pulls if off better here. I think becaue we have better tools. I played until after the recent Rage of the Wookies expansion. When Planetside (one of my all time favs) added advertising to the in-game walls, I canceled my Station Pass subscription and re-directed that cash to EvE again. Happy I did. Maybe this will be a good thing for Galaxies in the long run. Too bad for the long timers, but I really liked the "sandbox" feel it had before...looks like that's gone now. I'll try the 10 day thing, maybe in December, but I have EvE, City of Heroes, and World of Warcraft to keep me busy enough for now.
KingsGambit	Posted - 2005.11.06 21:27:00 - [19] Originally by: Saeris Tal'Urduar *CCP has passion* for what they created I agree with this entirely, and I think it's the reason Eve Online is as good and popular as it is. Few dev teams take such an interest in their project, and give and take as much feedback from the player community. Saying that, I believe Eve could be a lot better, balanced and bug free, but the main thing with any MMO is the simple fact that it's MM...massively multi-player. There are maybe over 50k players in Eve, so to keep many people happy I think sometimes CCP has taken a "cop out" route rather than risk alienating too many. Any criticisms aside, though I've never played SWG, as tempted as I have been as a fan of the genre, from the sounds of it I'm very glad for that, and makes me infinitely glad that it's CCP coding Eve and not SOE. Eve wouldn't be near as enthralling and fun as it would be without them and the mature community that play it (for the most part). ------------- My T2 Shop**
Wrayeth	Posted - 2005.11.06 22:25:00 - [20] This is what happens when the game company cares more about making money than about making a quality game. I played SWG from shortly after release up until about last February, and I can tell you that this news doesn't surprise me in the slightest. After about the first five months, the game went totally to ****, with the devs swinging the nerfbat left and right with no regard for the consequences, subsequently also boosting some classes to a ridiculous level. I thought the missile changes in EVE were unbearable...until I remembered what happened to Commandos in SWG (don't get me wrong, I believe the EVE missile changes went a bit overboard, but...well, damn...). -Wrayeth

Then I can here and found the beauty of brutal, unforgiving PVP. But PS will always remain on my comp, if only for the icon. :P And yes, SOE screw it AND SWG up, but I think SWG moreso. http://img468.imageshack.us/img468/2354/evesigsm6gn.jpg Your signature exceeds the max allowed filesize of 24000 bytes - Garik
Strathis Mikluk	Posted - 2005.11.07 14:04:00 - [23] So, how long 'til Warhammer cotton on to the market? I can imagine the MMORPG market would suit them well, and it means they can make cash without the expensive lead overheads!

I can imagine the MMORPG market would suit them well, and it means they can make cash without the expensive lead overheads! The Warhammer MMORPG (based on WFRP rather the WFB) was in development for several years before being dropped about a year ago. Dolce et decorum est pro imperator mori

TheDamned	Posted - 2005.11.07 15:08:00 - [26] I've learned after EQ2 and SWG to NEVER, EVER buy another game put out by Screw Over Everyone. I met the EQ2 Devs at E3 and I was shocked at how clueless these tools were. None of them knew what the other was doing. They constantly had to ask eachother for answers to my questions etc. SOE is a ** company ran by a ** CEO, Smelly. Whats funny is SOE is coming out with an MMORPG that is FREE. But they wont yet say what it is. It's pretty funny when your company sucks so bad at puting out MMO's that you finally have to make them free so people MIGHT play them.
BillyBong2	Posted - 2005.11.07 15:57:00 - [27] Yeah, I think part of the problem is when they released the expansion, they touted new items for a specific class, Creature Handler that would allow them to control higher level pets. Guess which class is not part of the 9? We all know how long it takes to code these kind ofchanges. So, even before the new expansion hit the shelf this was being done, so one could really get them on false advertisement, at least for 14 days. The expansion hit on say a monday and the changes were announce on say a Thursday. Interesting, isn't it. And yes, I agree with the poster who said that CCP has passion for their game. They will continue to get my money and possibly ad second and thrid account! B.
Danton Marcellus	Posted - 2005.11.07 17:30:00 - [28] Phew! I'd like to take this oppertunity to thank the APC posters and moderators on the SWG forums for getting me banned from them boards or else I just might be up for a game of Yatz... Diablo. Remind me about The Maze. I'm Danton Marcellus and I approve of this message.
Corair	Posted - 2005.11.07 19:08:00 - [29] Ha! To add insult to injury, they're adding another Space Expansion shortly (vid from the FanFest I believe): Linkage Not official yet, but the forums pointed that their expansion page is updated with a cryptic message about space expansion. My poor friend stuck with the game through the Combat upgrade with a whopping 7 accounts, all updated with the expansions. He's gonna end up quitting in a few days with no compensation for all his money and efforts. I'm gonna try to get him to come here to play -------- I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code.

Clementina	Posted - 2005.11.09 06:18:00 - [31] Edited by: Clementina on 09/11/2005 06:18:04 Actually now a serious question. Why do gamers allow themselves to be abused like this? SOE makes a game, then makes an expansion, then right after they sell the expansion, they change the game completely, apparently on the word of some focus group. Furthermore they seem to have a history of doing this, changing the game to approximate whatever is selling well at that moment. Why do people continue to shell out money every month, to be abused? It just don't make sense.

It just don't make sense. I'll keep it simple: BECAUSE THEY ARE RETARDED. I've read at least 300 posts on their forums about this latest shenanigan "upgrade" where the poster has claimed that they didn't know it was coming out and they just started working on it and they refuse to believe the part where SOE has been working on this for nearly a year. I've also seen more than enough "Well, they may ruin this game but I'm staying till they pull the plug!" threads as well... Also, when you think about it, if they HAVE spent all that time and money getting this far, it'd be pretty hard to say "OH WELL! Guess that won't work anymore." -------- I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code.

Otaz	Posted - 2005.11.09 19:47:00 - [34] I quit SWG last Friday (11-4) by cancelling 3 accounts that started at release. AND Im glad I found EVE to replace it though now I wish I had found it before I found SWG. The changes are horrible IMO and take away everything that made SWG unique in the MMORPG genre as well as what made it fun.

Reevus	Posted - 2005.11.09 21:08:00 - [38] Found Eve about a month ago from EQ2 and SWG, and words cannot do justice to just how happy I am about it. SWG really had a few good things going for it. I loved the complex mining and crafting systems, as well as the vending system. It was nice to finally see a game where you could craft items and didn't have to be at keyboard the entire time with an icy hot sleeve around your wrist feeling the burn. (EQ2 Anyone?) I loved factories and harvesters. Eve has all of this and more. I'll be here for quite some time. The bait and switch with the expansion is beyond bad though. Words escape me.
vecdran	Posted - 2005.11.09 23:51:00 - [39] Edited by: vecdran on 09/11/2005 23:51:15 Good God, SOE has sand for brains. That's the final nail in the coffin. SWG, the mmorpg that could've been. Well, now the mmofps that could've been :/ Bastards. Lucasarts needs to start making their OWN PC games again.
Xelios	Posted - 2005.11.09 23:51:00 - [40] Planetside was great fun in beta and early release, but since Core Combat it's gone down the tubes. There used to be epic battles with hundreds of players fighting over a base, huge empire wide raids where 100+ players left the sanctuary in a massive armor column and rolled over the enemy... Then they released Core Combat, complete with (at the time) omgwtfyarrbq weapons and some of the most ridiculously tedious map designs I've ever seen. In the last 4 months I haven't seen a single good cave battle, because masochists seem to be few and far between. Then they released the BFR's, which were again omgwtfyarrbq machines, not to mention the absurd flight variants that move as fast as tanks and can fly to safety once every 10 seconds. Couple this with mostly moronic CR5's who keep splitting forces because they can't decide on a common target and the new "rabbit ball" event that's effectively a "We Win" button for any given continent (even if that continent has been faught over for the last 5 hours), the game is nowhere near as good as it used to be. I imagine SWG will suffer the same fate. I still dispise SOE for making one of my favorite games of all time, Tanarus, pay to play after it'd supposedly been "in beta" for 7 years. Yes, lets charge people monthly to play a game developed back in '95, I'm sure that won't totally destroy the player base Signature removed. -Zhuge ([email protected]) Woot.

Not to make the game better, Not to fix whats broken, Not to make an improvement, Not to increase enjoyment, Not to make the game more fun to the people playing it or Isn't that the beauty of it though? For all its money and influence, SOE has f***ed up simply because it considers nothing but the bottom line. Of course, CCP made EVE to make cash too - but they take other things into consideration. With MMO's WE have the power to effect changes. Not like your average crappy EA tie-in (Sims expansions anyone?). Because MMO's automatically constitute a far stronger community than anything else associated with games developers have to get things right, and have to listen to the players - or else the above happens. SOE's online games are suffering a lethal haemmorage, and they bloody well deserve it too. EVE can only profit from this. If they get the blade serves in soon that is. Loyalty, Integrity, Honour.
Corair	Posted - 2005.11.10 02:14:00 - [42] Linkage Ohhhhh I am gonna kill everyone one of those ******* bastards... $50 for a game, $30 for each expansion, now you get the game and an expansion for $20.

Khristopher	Posted - 2005.11.10 08:49:00 - [43] Edited by: Khristopher on 10/11/2005 08:49:55 BTW I don't have a link handy but they are giving all players Jump to Light Speed for free soon. Something about rewarding SWG vets or something. I never bought RotW or the new expansion pack but I did pickup JTLS to play some when it first came out and it was fun and all but the game as a whole is pretty rough/beta stage and these new changes are making it worse. Since they are now giving the expansion pack away I want my $30 back! As for CCP my eve time has been cut back lately but it has nothing to do with CCP. CCP still has an awesome game and the updates/changes they have been doing have been good for the game as a whole (I may disagree with some they haven't been on the massive screw up scale that is SOE). SOE getting smaller Eve Online getting bigger yar!
Jin Entres	Posted - 2005.11.10 11:11:00 - [44] I'm glad I chose EVE. (CCP could offer a discount for all SWG players, btw)

I used to play on the Ahazi server and there is literally a thread for who's leaving (nothing too odd bout this one...) and one to decide which WoW server they're going to play on, ha ha! There's a thread in the NGE (the second combat upgrade coming in a few days) titled "Stick the NGE up your ass!" and has like 500 replies.

Lord Elric	Posted - 2005.11.10 17:51:00 - [48] Yep SOE have screwed there player base big time they released NGE 1 day after getting players to pay for an expansion which is now usless :) "Requested items: One Mark V ECM unit, 1000 km of fullerene cable, one low yield nuclear warhead. Stated purpose: birthday party for Amarian dignitary." -Special Operations Service requisition form-

You can always have several B-Wings fighting/PvPing vs an Imperial Star Destroyer in Eve.

Is there a free trial ? Combat in SWG no longer works. You can't keep your target - you end up shooting other people accidentally because they got too close. Plus, there is no escape from their shots as the "bullets" will CHASE you. They added in 3rd person shooting to the game and none of it matters. If you want that stuff you mentioned and a lot more with FOCUS to the game, go get Star Wars: Battlefront 2 and be happy that you didn't spend tons of money on a dead MMORPG. I played the game since release up until their last monstrosity changes and I tested the lastest one THOROUGHLY and it's a complete failure. -------- I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code.
Crystal Starbreeze	Posted - 2005.11.11 01:09:00 - [53] Well i have to say i was floored when I found out about this. I always kept my SWG account open as i had a lot of friends in SWG and the break was nice from time to time. But my class from day one was Master BE/ Master CH so there is nothign whatsoever left aafter the NGE. I had to say bye to my many created pets as after Nov 15 they will cease to exist. I took my Wookie Bearclaww to theed gave some noob 30m credits and admin right to my house and the coordinates. I then sat him on the top of a ridge overlooking a river typed a few goodbyes to close friends who were leaving also, trading MSN info and logged never to look on SWG again. (caceled accoutn and unistalled SWG. It was depressing but at least i had EVE to go to, unlike my friends that are now stuck tryign to fill that part of their lives that SWG filled. I of course suggested EVE, but i think they are going to WOW. It was a good run and had fun even though they really screwed it up, it had its moments. It been a few days since i found out and Im still fuming and upset about it and I dont even play it anymore really. Want some entertainment go to the forums and read all the people leaving and sayign farewell to an OK game....not perfect but kept my interest for some time. It was by far not a bad game but thats what they are making it.
Corair	Posted - 2005.11.11 06:47:00 - [54] Ya I found my screenshot from when I was in my house, crafting for Doctor and had that message about Lord Vader sensing a disturbance in the Force, signifying that the first Jedi had arrived. Everyone was so excited and we couldn't wait to see the first sabers (of which I have pictures also.) Then after the first Christmas, the troubles began... 2 free holocrons (was supposed to be one, but someone botched the code) and the Hologrinding-Era began. After that, the economy crashed, roleplayers vanished and it became a 24/7 grind-fest for almost everyone I knew. I ran a city for a time and it was pretty awesome (a city on the beach called Savvy Beach - I even made a giant ship in my city hall out of couches...), but they just kept screwing with us... each time something worked out they'd call it bugged and change it, constantly changing the "flavor of the month" profession templates to keep people shelling out money. Downward spiral into chaos and we're up to present day where the game is about to die. I have WoW on the side, got a lvl 60 mage to play with all my old SWG buddies - try as I might, none of em will stick with EVE ("it's too hard :(" bunch of babies...) I highly prefer EVE and always will, so I can always laugh at the other companies as they kill their games while EVE thrives off their mistakes -------- I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code.

Stated purpose: birthday party for Amarian dignitary." -Special Operations Service requisition form-

Ombey	Posted - 2005.11.17 11:15:00 - [61] Originally by: Xelios Planetside was great fun in beta and early release, but since Core Combat it's gone down the tubes. There used to be epic battles with hundreds of players fighting over a base, huge empire wide raids where 100+ players left the sanctuary in a massive armor column and rolled over the enemy... Then they released Core Combat, complete with (at the time) omgwtfyarrbq weapons and some of the most ridiculously tedious map designs I've ever seen. In the last 4 months I haven't seen a single good cave battle, because masochists seem to be few and far between. Then they released the BFR's, which were again omgwtfyarrbq machines, not to mention the absurd flight variants that move as fast as tanks and can fly to safety once every 10 seconds. Couple this with mostly moronic CR5's who keep splitting forces because they can't decide on a common target and the new "rabbit ball" event that's effectively a "We Win" button for any given continent (even if that continent has been faught over for the last 5 hours), the game is nowhere near as good as it used to be. Xelios summed it up nicely. I loved PS so much, it was a totally absorbing game with huge battles. I un-subbed in Feb, went back for a month on the back of their free month offer for old players.... and it was dull. Not to mention a lot less players, hardly any pop-locks, even at peak times. ombeve.co.uk
Gray Carmicheal	Posted - 2005.11.17 11:20:00 - [62] I just unsubbed PS (PlanetSide) and an SWG account for this. And I'm so glad I did. -RebelCommander, NC Markov, TPC
