Should be a way to go from Imperial to rebel but there should be no return.... No way that once you are a criminal you could join the army again after fighting against them... It's absurd.... Once you choose to be Imperial or Rebel it should stick with your character... Imperial to Rebel but no Rebel to Imperial.

Im sorry, but i still get the distinct feeling that they cared more for keeping their jobs, than they cared about the people they were about to foist the product they made on.

That's extremely easy to say when your job is not the one on the line. These are human beings you are talking about. They have spouses and kids to feed, rent to pay, car payments to make. If you seriously expect them to go into personal financial bankruptcy just to stand up for you, as a player, you are being ridiculous. It's easy to stand there from the comfort of your living room, with your rent paid and your job secure and point fingers at the guy who'd lose his job if he acted in the idealistic way you seem to want him to act.

MMO's are stagnant because all current ones rely on the dated EQ1 model of advancement... Level, level, level, the fun comes when you hit end game.... (For most is doesnt).... MMO's should be less time sink and more skill based...

MMO's are stagnating because they are all the same on the core levels.

Heres what he says is what i am getting too, NGE was a mistake and not listening to the players

 

<AND> means both nge and not listening = a mistake. Your not a idiot your a I-ron.

Please cut and paste the part that says "NGE was a mistake and not listening to the players"

Well, I will acknowledge the mods for doing one thing pretty well... They usually stop gold spamming sites fairly quickly... Only a few stay on here for long.. I reported a guy several times last night for it and i think it took them a bit to get them..

I don't expect anything from volunteers, but I do appreciate them... Free work is free work...

Read #2 if you cant make out him saying NGE was a mistake and not listening to the players was a mistake then your a idiot and a I-ron

It is easy to make out him saying. Not listening to the players was a mistake because he actually says that.  As far as him saying "The NGE was a mistake" yeah, ummm, I must be a idiot then.

Welcome to the club... WoW does indeed have stagnant water feel and smell to it as of late... I also burned out on the grind....

"We aren't mandating any big changes to the game. We've learned a thing or two with our experiences with the NGE and don't plan on repeating mistakes from the past and not listening to the players."

Is the exact quote - in case laziness prevents anyone from taking a gander... It's not really a secret... Although, I am sure the NGE let them cut some people or move some people to other games by deducting complexity from SWG... but he always does speak of the NGE with a tone of distaste... as most do... not all of course... but most.

It's not complete and polished yet... They would have to be crazy to release the game as it is - instead of getting it completely ready for release and making more of their game in the long run.

No worries, I did not do any of those things.. I appreciate your response nonetheless but the community manager hasnt returned any of my emails for about a week.. I think it was a mistake on their part.. Mistaked identity maybe.. I mean it was rectified but I just wanted to make sure it was clear that it was.

Its funny how quickly rumors grow. Smedley said they "They learned a thing or two",  and I noticed someone posted "SOE admits NGE was a mistake". Now its already "SOE admits NGE was a great mistake". What is next? "SOE admits NGE was a total disaster" ?

Although, I am a vet of the swg game.. I do not believe that it would be in the best interest of SOE to rollback servers or even change to the pre cu after haivng stayed with the NGE for this long.... I do however feel that it would be a good move for them to create a newclassic server, although I wont cry if they dont...  I have more or less moved on, just hoping somewhere down the road of mmo's another will resurface with the options and crafting resource systems of the old SWG.

Hey while you have  a sec admin, mind telling me what my recent one was about? It was odd for sure, as I didn't break any of the rules... I went through the correct channels and was put off the temp ban, but I am just curious that is going to count against my total strikes before a perma one?

At the time the CU came online SWG was nearly perfect in its vision. It just needed a bit more bug fixing and some content and it would have been awesome. Now we have a totally broken game, and by the sounds of the article this will be the norm for SWG. Who really knows if they can ever really fix the damn thing. I say kill it and start a new game that works for everyone and give them a bit more options and a lot less work. It seems they are doing 3 times the work.

The game was always broken (just ask any smuggler) and the whole issue is that the old system was nearly impossible to write content for.  How do you write content that can be handled by a group of 20 or a group of 2.  That was always the problem, the game mechanics were not conducive to questing (aka content) but everyone wanted content.  Which is why the the CU and later the NGE happened.  To make it easier for the devs and the casual player.  The game was not even close to perfection.  The subs were falling and they felt they had to do something drastic.

Good luck, I don't speak idiot which is what they do - So we will need a translator... Any volunteers?

To me it feels like WoW is getting stagnant... The updates come slower and slower and with less things for people to look forward to.. Dunno, I got to 70 twice and I just think the game lost a lot of its draw recently... I think as an expansion, TBC was simply more of the same and it didn't hold me.. Hope others demand more from WoW in the future... I think they lost a lot of their key developers and are struggling to appease the masses now with a less experienced team.

Before anyone jumps on the anti-sandbox bandwagon here, the issues with SWG are primarily with their own toolset and worldbuilder. The sandbox model isn't working against them, they were just too stupid to make proper tools to accommodate the sandbox setting.

It's easy for them to deflect blame, but the real issue here is that they couldn't competently handle a sandbox design. That doesn't mean it's impossible to do so.

Actually it's more likely a matter of economics.  The original game was not meant to have quests, it was a sandbox game.  Now the issue is how much it would cost and how long it would take to write those tools.   That means no bug fixing or new content during that time.   If the economics only support a team of 20 then I doubt they could afford the time or the money to write the tools.

Basically what worries me about this game... I love the ideas... I love ffa pvp and player looting like old school Ultima Online.....

But...

What worries me is that this game has been in development longer than humans have harnessed tools or fire. There comes a point where you just have to stand back and say - Really, I know its a small independent team but an eon is a long time.... The graphics are already getting dated, the ideas that once were original or going to be focused on are becoming blurred, we get no information from them.... and beta has been SOON since I still played UO.

I dont think that the trials are working in anymore.. but I have heard from a friend that still plays that down the pipeline they are supopsed to be releasing a free trial period soon.
