Thread: What if...

Sounds like I am not the only one with the thought of cancelling that's for sure. I am leaning hard in that direction, and would have probably quit a long time ago if there was something better to capture my attention. It's also hard to just up and leave something you have invested so much time in. I guess that's pretty much what everyone is going through right now though.
For me it's not so much as I've invested so much time into the game as it is that I'm finding myself with little to nothing to do. On top of that, the things I've loved about the game continue to be removed or modified.
Commando has always been a cheated professian other then for the flamer and launcher pistol. However, they nerfed the fire DoT and added stupid blankets, so the flamer is useless now making all of commando a waste other then novice for the LP. But wait! They nerfed the LP as well, so now all of commando is a waste. That is one thing I loved about this game and can not return to.
BH has also been ruined. They nerfed BH and upped everything else, makes no sense. Then they nerfed the scatter and the FWG making pistols altogether useless. And master pistoller is already a cheated professian from the start as most specials don't work and don't even come close to comparing with headshot3.
I have 3 accounts. One used to be my brothers and the other my sisters. I have cancelled my brothers account and have cancelled/reactiviated my sisters on several occasions. I am about to cancel hers again and come the combat revamp I'll be canceling mine as well for good.
The only problem with me leaving SWG is that I feel it's the closest predecessor to UO. UO had homes, mounts, clothes, hair styles, banks, furniture etc... UO was a game but on top of that it had a social layer. As where EQ had a game but no social aspect. From every MMORPG on the horizon I see none that hold up to what UO had. WoW looks good but no homes or anything. So it wouldn't really hold my interest too long.
But that reason for staying doesn't hold up too often as clothes are totally bugged in the fact they dont fit right. Homes aren't fun for decorating as all the furniture looks the same and you can't get too creative with that absurd item limit. Mounts aren't as fun as they were in UO and vehicles would correct that but don't for the simple fact there just pure transportation, you can't really paint your bike or anything sense it comes out after a call or two and then the fact that vehicles are bugged just makes it totally stupid.
However, being the fool I am I continue to put my trust in the "developers" believing that they might finally come around and make this game what it should be as there is amazing potential in SWG. Only they never do. And come the combat revamp when they totally destroy this game making it completly unplayable in all means... That is when I will quit. Reason being, the combat revamp will change the major aspect of SWG which will reflect upon the entire game. And the revamp will stick to unless they change it again 2 months later which isn't any better. So that is when I quit.
The only game I see that I am halfway looking forward to is EQ2 as it already stated to offer homes, mounts and even boats. Also character customization. Reason I'm not looking totally forward to EQ2 is that I hated the first and after SWG... Anything from SOE right away gets doubt from me.
Keep in mind that when you cancel your account you can still log in until the billing session runs out. You don't lose your characters immediately, and you can reactivate it whenever you want. It's too bad the fear of losing what we have all worked for almost a year to obtain stops us from doing this. I'm not just referring to the FS Slot, but your main and all your possessions in game.
For those of you happy with the revamp, kudos to you. I just think my current situation on live is far better than the one I am faced with when the conversion goes through. If I don't cancel my accounts, I will probably just take the enhancer tree and master a ranged profession. At least I can have some fun with Force Run 3 and PvP until another game comes around that meets the expectations I had for SWG.
Does anyone know if you can wear composite, use force armor 2 and do decent damage with Master Carbineer?
