Thread: Adios Amigos
Limited use schematics would be a great idea for loot. That way we'd still need the weaponsmiths and armorsmiths to create the uber gear. I do like the idea of the player run economy and if they introduced Diablo 2 style of loot (gear) this would be ruined. I guess Krayt tissue is a good start.
OK, so the devs need to start working on some interesting content which gives us some feeling of accomplishment. The only quest I've done which was fulfilling was the marauder armor quest. At least it gave me something I could use (even though the resists are not very good).
Let me just remind you ppl making those comments of one thing, i am a veteran MMPORG player which means i am spotting serious faults in this game way before you will so when you reach your skill cap and see those faults for what they are you will realise how much time you wasted etc.
Your a vetran? Then why do you not remember when EQ's boss mobs consited of two things, for nearly 7 months after launch....The constant nerfs, the revamping of dungeons ect ect......Sounds alot alike does it not?
Games need certain components to make them great. Multi player should mean just that, multiple ppl working together to achieve the same goal, not just you soloing and occasionally buying stuff from a vendor player or picking off someone, hell diablo 2 offers most of that. There has to be interaction of a HIGH level. Not just some single player game with other ppl acting as npcs.
This game has no reason to work together, it has no challenges. EQ which you clearly no nothing about from your nieve posts had at its very top end 50 completely dedicated and highly skilled people working to overcome obscene monsters using very refined tactics. This game has no reason to bring anyone but your mum along to watch and say well done son. Thats cause it caters for illiterate american teenagers who can barely type never mind play a difficult game. There now you can flame something.
LOL refined tactics? You mean hit auto atack and start the CH chain and go AFK to watch your favorite prime time show right?
1.) A fight in EQ is only exciting the first time, after that its farm status....
2.) Tactics are hardley "refined", any moron can figure out how to defeat the new expansions Vox version 3.7 with *10 HP and *5DPS.
3.) Exactly what tier planes did you guild get too in EQ?
Loot like it or lump it is always the reason to keep playing a game, to want, to drool, to covet and above all to compare your character to your peers. The only difference between your char in two months and everyone elses char in two months will be your name. Extremely casual gamers will be at skill cap with identical weapons as you - once again there is no challenge, no differientiation, no reason to play alot, no reason to play at all.
Things need to change, Unfotunatly not a **edit** thing you listed needs to change....
Anyway suck it and see guys, won't take ya long to realise once ya grind up investigation to see the game is pointless, i just saw it earlier than ya and know from experience what keeps ppl playing, its not what this game is offering thats for sure.
Vet? You probably played EQ when velious came out and then for two years and now think your a "vet".
So if loot is introduced into the game, something needs to be done about how groups are handled.
the only thing that makes a game last long is a good pvp engine. look at DAOC . great pvp engine , lots fun .
the pvp in SWG is not a good one .
you finish level youre caracter ,you finish doing the "tour" of all planets ,all its left is pvp .
thats where they should focus ...pvp
---------------------
Now if there was a 1% chance that a Krayt dragon could drop some weapon that a weaponsmith can't make, now we're talking. It doesn't even have to be a weapon, it could be a powerup which doubles the effectiveness of your weapon.
---------------------
UH, these types of drops have already been added. I've seen several people selling the Vibroaxes w/ mindpoison effects, or the Laser Rifle w/fire DoT damage. they are out there and tehy're very rare. Just because you haven't found one doesn't mean it's not in game. There ire still skill mods, and clothing with special protections. Check the Devs post concerning loot tables........
Not trying to sound like I'm flaming, just don't think very well whne I'm tired. heh
100% agree druss01 !
swg suxx. its the wrost mmporpg i have ever played. i already have cancled my account.
iam a bh 2-4-4-4 and our profession is nerfed to be the wrost in the game. every pistoler, commando, riffleman kills me in 2-3 shots. 90% of our skilltrees are buged or unless.
there is nothing to do in game if you reach the bh weapon4-4-4! leveling investigation is worthless. 50% of all missions are bugy.
pvp is worthless. you can only get fp points.
swg have no future !
No, I changed my mind.
I was going to say some things that were rather heartfelt. But suffice it to say that I have seen many come and go in this profession. And to me, it doesn't matter at what time they leave, and for what reasons. All of those dancers who play, and find that they can no longer play, deserve our respect. And they deserve our committment to give them back the things and aspects they enjoy.

Well, I said the other day, my account is cancelling after the weekend after my char basically having no use, there were quite a good few replies in it too, I made a post last night, went to bed, went to work, came home today, and found thread deleted. Was it something I said or did others say something they shouldn't?
There could have been some responses in it, which could have decided me to keep the account open, for 1 more month at least, but after that my account is definately staying cancelled. SOE can shove their $15 up their arse. I wasn't angry before that deletion, now I am, doubt I'll be back at all now.
I'm sure it was my fault, somehow.
I've no idea why it was deleted, looked fine to me last time I checked it.
