So Zion..... oh Mr Constructive Criticism. I suppose there is a constructive way to look at this too right?

Guess the level system is the nail in the coffin. Too bad, I had almost recovered from the shocks off all the other changes.
I will stick around to see what the actually put into live, and then it is probably the end unless they have a magic trick up their sleeve.
I really hope some heads will roll in SOE management when they realize its a complete fiasco (I dont blame the Devs, I blame the idiots that forced through an acceleration of the project which prevented proper alpha testing etc that could have stopped this).

Its not really the acceleration that's killing it.....its the new developmet team. Its just like any other place out there - They don't want to work on a system they didn't create or want to understand. Its old and doesn't work so lets not acknowledge that the old system ever existed its all about the new system developed with more bugs and confusion that the old system.
As far as all the quitting and cancelations....
I don't think they care because they cannot understand the magnitude until it happens. They have lived through this once before the dreaded Publish 9 that brought us the jedi revamp. I couldn't start to tell you the number of people who cried
"\cancelAccount;"
As a result the huge amount of jedi's that were bought off of ebay.
They could live with those losses since that community was so small....this time they are failing to realize this horrible CU affects everyone (not just jedi's)
I think june/july/august are going to be very bad months for SWG.....and I hate to start thinking about what will happen on our small servers

the only reason why im still here is cuase i pre-pay.. my accounts run out at the end of next month.. thats 3 45 bucks a month.
they had a great system in place.. yes it needed tweaking, and yes armor needed to be reworked but the base was rock solid, this new lvl system is total BS.. god i even read a post from a dev in a chat.. umm MMORPG.com or world or something i forget.. you can find it off launch pad or main site..
Anyway the dev even stated stuff like more arcade like, faster paced W T F is that.. umm take what could ahve been the greatest roleplaying game of all time.. and turn it into a crap arcade game.. god when you have coripondents quiting left and right.. it just aint the AS cor.. and people that have played this game since launch and paid 2-5 acounts saying this is it.. god thats a ton of people. Maybe the new people wont notice that this game has fallen to knew lows.. but ill tell you what. when the 75% of people leave that have been suporting this game since launch.. the noobes sure the hell aint gonna stick around for long.. 6 months.. i give this game 6 months..
they killed merchants, They left many profs with nothing for over a year.. Sqaud leader, smuggler, dancers, musicans, merchants.. i could go on.. Instead they just nerf away what little the profs had and now they are screwing with the main crafting profs.. They are killing half the game.. this game isnt just combat.. but thats all they care about, this whole CU is an all out F&^K the craftetrs.. Unless there is a crafter revamp folling this CU like the next day... the have dumbed down crafting soo much its pathetic. Instead of getting deeper and more content and totally imersing yourself in a great game world..
Its now.. click click crap,, click click crap.. what a joke. an 8th grader could write more interesting plot lines.. btw what ever happened to the monthly arcs?? i think you have your heads to far up the butts of the EQ2 people to smell the roses what you had was great and different.. what you have know is a clone of any number of games out there..
For anyone that is interested. in somthing different
. Dungeons and dragons online is on its way and headed by the creater,, the man himself Gary Gygaxx this game looks to have a great combat system.. a game where sneak and back stab accually work vissually as well as part of game mechanics in a realistic way
another one that looks promissing is Auto-assault If you want fast paced with post apocoliptic themes it looks nice, waiting to hear about beta : P all you road warrior fans out there.. this looks awsome
and for all you trekkies.. Star trek online.. all i can say is WOW this game seams to have it all.. well all for you total trek nerds : )
playing with NPC's.. or people maning your own ship.. upgrading along the way. its too early to tell, but the entire dev team is a bunch of freaky trekkies when you have total fans and people that know the lore better than the creaters fronting a team you know its gonna be good..
One last Q.. are any of these devs star wars fans?? have they even played game.. to totally say forget what the crafters and non combat people have loved about the game and everything since last summer is all about whiney jedi..I hate to say this but i hope this game just fails misserably and someone else can pick up the peices.. SOE might learn something but i dought it.. atleast then we might have a developer that cares about a saga.. and history and sticks with continuty.. cuase this.. this aint the star wars i grea up with..

Because of the level system that is the core of combat in the CU, all combat will be based on levels and armour will make almost no difference. So I say Yippee!! I can cancel my AS toon or re-roll him for all combat and stop complaining that they have totally $crewed the pooch on AS in CU.Thanks SOE, I was really worried that the crafting aspect of the game I enjoyed so much was being taken away, now I get the comfort that it wouldn't have mattered anyway and I can just move on...The proofBleh.... i dont see any GOOD news in you post and dont see any proof ...I don't need proof as I saw exactly what the poster described on TC myself.
Only thing the armor I wore was useful for was it helped me combat a few things +1 from my level. I would fight something at my level with no armor and I would win with 50% of my health left. I would put on armor and go after something one level above and I would end up with 50% health. If I attacked anything +3 above my level...even with armor on...I was dead every time.
So in fact the only thing armor did was give me a few hundred more XP for killing something one level above mine.
I will not bother with armor if thats the only return on investment I get.
I had to wear the Padded armor helm also...that wasn't worth +200xp per kill
Sounds like the level system needs some tweaking and a few whinning kiddies cried wolf way too soon without allowing CU (IN THE TEST SERVER -- KEY WORD TEST) enough time to balance out the level system.
no wounder AS'ers are getting shafted, if its players like this making meaningless dumb posts from data gathered on a TEST server then you should get what you deserve

If your not an armorsmith don't comment on stuff that doesn't affect you, even though his post was a broad generalisation he is still correct we have now been converted to "Tarted up Tailors".

You know what, I don't believe you...
Since you obviously havent understood the reason or concept behind the posts, try to read them all again and get back to us later when you finally do understand.

Now rumor has it that the DnD mmorpg is coming. Many of my guildies plan on sticking together and moving there when it does. What are they thinking? This is not a revamp....its an entirely new game.
