Thread: Enough is Enough
I was ok with it at first only eyewear for the "gold box" people. Whatever. I bought the game the first week to. Been playing just like everyone else. Now its getting old. Devs when are tailors going to be able to make eyewear and hats that dont make people look likeajackass. Realy though. Ive been patient, i dont complain about the bugs or the nerfs. But if people cant make it dont put a slot on the bazzar. And dont tell me what if someone wanted to sale a pair. Dont kid yourself. #%$# the gold box players.
Let the CE crowd keep the visor/ski goggles...
But how about adding some real eyewear? Reading glasses, small circular/oval lense glasses (optionally tinted), wraparound sunglasses, monocles, maybe a Cyclops-style visor...
Seriously, we don't want to take your collector's glasses away. I'd much prefer we not have any eyewear at all to those hideous things, though they do look okay on someRodians. I'm not a Rodian, though, so you can keep 'em.
This patch was a morale breaker.
It demonstrates an utter lack of competence on the part of the SWG team.
Much as I'm dying for something to play I cannot in good conscience support this pathetic excuse for a game for another month.
I have to take a break for a little while, and hope that some of the many issues which plague this game, and this profession in particular are resolved soon. I just can't stand it anymore. This game could be so much fun if it wasn't always poking its finger in my eye.
What drove me to this point?
Two nights ago, the server disconnected me while I was hunting with my friends. I could not get back in. I wasn't very happy about that, but it happens... I could deal with it.
Last night I logged back in to play. This was the first time in six weeks that I didn't log out in a city. Guess what... while the game is loading, the battle music is playing, yes I'm under attack and can't do anything about it. Oh well, stuff happens. I survive the battle and when I finally get in, my guy has wounds so I camp to heal them. Not too big a deal, but the bad breaks are mounting one after the other. I pull out my three GSP and go exploring. I walk for about two minutes when all three cats get stuck. Hmm, must be a server boundry out here. I call them to me... POW, all three are thrown into my datapad as soon as I call them to me. Man, this is getting old, so I call them out of my datapad. What is this? All three cats now have over 33% damage to their health pools although they've done nothing. Man, now I'm getting mad. I want to use the cats, so I heal them back up. This is about 6K worth of HAM to heal, but it only takes a couple of minutes. I start walking again. Suddenly, a hostile NPC spawns directly in front of me and begins attacking me. I have one of my cats on guard, but it is not defending me. I order him to attack... Poof... all three cats go back into my datapad and I'm alone. Now I'm really mad, but no time for that now. I try to shoot at the NPC but my pistol doesn't fire... instead my guy shadow boxes as if he's trying to do hand-to-hand. I quickly equip another pistol and he does indeed begin to shoot. I kill the NPC but my HAM is kinda low. I try to heal myself but nothing happens. Surprise, five more NPC spawn all around me and isntantly begin shooting at me. I haven't even gotten my heal in yet, can't call my pets back, and I'm in trouble. I attempt to shoot at the NPC again... shadow boxing, re-equip another gun, okay I'm shooting now. Where's that heal, I hit heal again... nothing. Too late, I'm incapped. Now I get several messages on my screen that I can't heal while incapacitated... nice to know. Here comes Mr. NPC... deathblow. Cloning... For the heck of it after I clone, I call my pets back out... you guessed it... all three have about 33% health wounds again.
All this happened to me in less than 20 minutes of play last night. To continue on like this would be masochistic. I'm taking a break. I hope things don't get this bad for you... obviously I had a really bad run of unlucky encounters with the game's bugs. But if the bugs had been fixed, this kind of nonsense would not be possible. This is supposed to be fun right?

There is some really strange stuff happening lately.
Yesterday morning I was fighting some NPC's with 2 pets out. All of a sudden the NPC's dissapeared and a friggin' harvester appeared where they were standing. **edit**?
I logged out cause I knew it would only get worse. Logged in an hour later and everything seemed normal. Well... as normal as usual anyway.
Good luck bro, but yea, I cant blame ya for taking a step back from this torture. To be honest I have parked my creature handler and playing an alt till some of these things are fixed. You know what really makes me laugh? The bug where you had to click the PCD 4 times to get a 'call' option... They fixed it and now you have to click 'store' 4 times to get call... lol, what the heck did they fix again?
Heres my experience today: Pick 2 missions on Lok. head out. See a perlek all alone...hmm...let me /sampledna. break mask scent, fails sample, attacks me. 3 more perleks pop into existance. incap. wait 45 secs, death. Clone. Head back in the same direction. get about 500 k out...take a step boom from no where 6 marooned pirates pop into existance. incap/death. Clone. head back in that dir, being more cautious, head up a mountain, see three red dots roughly 90 m, break mask scent, instantly hear the attack music, get disoriented as nothing is close to me, then bam 3 vesp's pop into existance. incap/death. clone. head back in the general direction only now im creeping one step at a time. Slowly creep up to my first mission, and viola, no camp there. Cancel the mission. On to the next. Again being very careful...i get up to the marooned pirate camp, take out the first pirate with my graul, the 2nd, now the third was behind the camp and had not agro'ed. I sent my graul for the third, and surprise, surprise. There was another group of six marooned pirates also lurking behind there, who joined in the fray and yep you guessed it - the graul bit the big one ashe was not interested in /follow today. This happened in one hour of game time, and today is the first time my failure rate at EVERYTHING was 100%. It occurred to me quite ironically and angrilyas I shut the game down that i'm actually paying for this misery.

this is apt.
in other news I too am giving my CH a rest to play with another character. just my bad luck my other character is a rifleman. hahaha, what an idiot I am. wanna get away from a buggy class for a while so I pick rifleman for the alternate character. big mistake. don't do that folks, DON'T. (you thought creature teleportation was anoying as a CH? try being a rifleman prone at 60m, under cover, open up with a /concealshot on a mob, suddenly his 5 buddies magically teleport to standing on your head, do 2.5 times normal damage as a penalty for you being a rifleman, kill you in a couple hits. I've been killed by corellian butterflies for goddsake.)
