I do understand the publishers that want to advertise their hard work.
When it's the xxx time you see the splash screens and videos I say please let us get rid of that crap!
Instead of making us smile/happy it's annoying us if not worse...
I still remember a game, which I had much fun to play, but after 3 years I could not stand anymore the ads vids not even the music running in the background while loading the game.
I agree we can hit ESC a few time to go faster. So I ask this very question :
Mr Marketing why aren't you letting us to bypass all this once for all? Is it so much to ask? It's not like we don't know who made the game, who published it and who's taking our $$$ each month.
So you have new vids, ads or whaterver, just reset our flag.
For now I'm looking forward my WAR next tome unlock : Waaagh! XXX intro display, you earn the ability to bypass the loading ads & vids.
Am I the only one?
Looks nice, still can I have PANTS for my male character please? Or at least the choice.

I don't even think that makes any sense. Maybe the OP has some mental issues that are causing him to see the future and tell it via inane ramblings.
Please note the OP stated later on that English is not his/her native language. I believe what the OP was trying to express, and I could very well be wrong, is that people that played SWG do not want any SW based MMO, they want a MMO based on SWG. A new MMO based on the aspects that made Pre-NGE SWG beloved by the Vets. As much as I would like that, as a SWG Vet I know it will not happen under any circumstance. Bioware's style of game play is completely different than SWG and many of the sanbox features that were in SWG will not be in Bioware's upcoming MMO. Still, I am looking forward to trying the game and seeing what it has to offer to the fans of Star Wars.
*EDIT* Edited due to not knowing the OP's gender and had assumed the OP was male.
Well Gajari your post made me really laugh but I feel sad for my English skills.
I do my best to improve it, (read books, watch tv, voice chat..) even it's really hard as I tend to think in multiple languages and well it gets messy, really!
Alindale, thank you for your words and try to explain what I was trying to say. ![]()
For the story, when I first heard about SWG, long before launch, I was looking forward a mix of Dark Forces I (not Jedi Knight) with X-Wing. I was really disappointed by SWG combat system. But it let us chat and fight at the same time, so it was great.
I really liked the socialization, full med-centers and cantina's (before messy players cities). For me the hologrind and the CU was a major blow to the game, it killed the social aspect. Players where able to heal themselves and well everybody was out macro-grinding.
I did play NGE for a few months but it was the death blow to SW. It could have been great with a real FPS engine. Sadly SOE, once again, delivered a half finished product.
Pre-CU SWG could have been THE MMO out there. For me it will always be Caveman Galaxies : cave dungeons and Janta owning a full equiped futuristic combatant with stone knives, dude!
Once again the marketing team is all wrong.
Most of the answers have been mentionned :
* Vets want HOT as a planet.
* Vets don't want NGE = broken semi-FPS gameplay
* Better merge server to keep players than expect huge come back. Focus on what you have guys.
* Vets liked socialization and crafting, both are dead.
* Vets don't want another WoW farming / grind game (Sith Waist anyone?)
* No boxes on shelves = no new comers
* Vets will be back to try Hot, then leave when the trial ends. I know that's all my friends do. We log back, visit new places, kill a few mobs, take pics of us, our houses then we are done.
SOE has only 2 ways to bring back SWG to life
Edit: didn't mention the 3rd one = make a new game, as it's already being done.
See you around a cantina on october 21th... ![]()
SWG: SMED ;)
