Thread: new up date is in and im hellishly mad
How many times did you get cloned????? 2% for uninsured items, 1% percent for insured items and 0 if you are incapped. these are the decay rates.
I am a master armorsmith as well as a commando and as I said before,I dislike this system
Its sad to see my helmet lose 50x more condition then it has in over a month of use AFTER I insured
Dont bother posting 'why i quit' threads.
SOE's Webstapo is closing every thread as soon as they pop up. I posted the reasons why im cancelling my account today and it was deleted with some self-praising 'i deleted your post because its not constructive' crap. Translate: Unless you lick our butts and congratulate us your posts will be deleted. Sieg Heil!
This is the first company EVER that I see that strives to screw their own game even further into the gutter.
First off I am totally against the Decay System that was implemented. I do not believe items should be damaged for dying. I think items (all items) should have a set decay rate per day. Whether you play or not time is still passing. In the real world items decay with age. In our fake gaming world in order to keep things moving along and help keep the item database a little cleaner I think normal decay rates should be increased from what they would be in real time. My thought was that each item should have a certain number of Durability points. The better the item was made the higher the durability points. Each day each item loses 1 Durability point. Armor, Weapons, Clothing, Jewelry, and Wearable Containers would additionaly be damaged by combat damage. BUT what do I know.
That being said. Last night I forgot to clone TWICE (DORK!) and I lost 5% on each my items each time. Ok fine my mistake I'll take the hit. Then I went to clone and with all my armor and gear it was like 1200 Credits. I thought to myself "That's it?". The cost was cheap for insurance even a low level commando can make that in a single mission. I haven't died since then cause my two deaths prompted me to contact a Doctor friend of mine to come help me hunt. No death or decay the rest of the night.
So to summarize. Yes the system sucks but we can't do anything about it. Remember to clone and insure. Get a doctor or combat medic to join you hunting.
Before you label someone a troll, you might want to check on how long others have posted also.
I'll cut anyone a good bit of slack, especially someone that is clearly from another country, but having said that, posts that include spelling and typographical errors that are so bad as to make the content unintelligible are a waste of time for all involved.
I like Maddogs, and know he has a lot of valuable thought to contribute to the discussion, and really don't want to see that value lost because people can't make it through his posts to see what he's trying to say.
I guess what I'm trying to say, and did try to say above in the area of constructive (albeit, perhaps teasingly so) is that if maddogs slows down just a little more and is a bit more careful about how he types and spells, his message will come through more clearly.
Unfortunately we live in a society ("HEY! WE'RE LIVING IN A SOCIETY HERE!!!" Geo. Costanza, Seinfeld, 1990's/early 2000's TV series) where impressions are made easily, and people will look past what they interpret as poor presentation and miss the value of the content.
If you aren't happy with that criticism, then too bad, but don't just a-s-s--u--m-e that your fellow posters don't have the right to politely criticize and offer feedback that, if taken to heart, may help make for a more easily understood conversation.
Finally, please remember that currently SWG is primarily a North American based game, and these forums are clearly U.S. English based. Using the language in the correct manner is a common courtesy and something that visitors to these forums should rightfully expect to see.

ok i see that many of you like and many dislike it and now ill give my
number 1reson why i dont like it
ok guys whats the name of this game its swg and the GCW ok and this really kills the GCW part of swg
see theres those of us who have maxed out on skillpoints seen almost all the intresting sites in game and done all the npc quest whats left to the game ?
PVP and this ruins pvp 100% only time i did pve is to get the mony to keep pvping (its costly for a commando to pvp 
) i like pvp the way it is now i dont want it to change for the worst like it just has now no one wants to pvp i haveent seen a overt imp all day my favret to pick on (some one who just like me is a pvp battel lord ) donsen't even want to pvp any more she says here armor is to costly for it even to loose 1% (i dont blame her its awsome 82% krayt comp) and if we fight without are armor were both one hit kills she can one hit kill from 64m i can to with a nice panick shot pbc but only if there not wareing armor/orbufed
see guys this ruins the name of the game if you dis agree plzs tell me why
Alright you all need to back off of maddogs spelling first off. Second, I dont think that the decay is all that bad. I died today by being stupid. Saw some creature I hadnt seen befor and my death was proceeded by a usual conversation that I hear right befor dying...
friend: Whats that?
me: I dunno
Friend:well poke it with a stick
me: O.K. /poke
me: dead
And of course the past 5 times I've died has been right after going to a new planet and I forgot to clone. I think one of those times was proceeded by a "Watch this!"...dead
Anyway I didnt think it was that bad. I mean its max durability stayed the same. What I wonder is if they fixed the repair system to where I can get it all fixed without it breaking.
About the collectors edition glasses, I didnt even look at mine thinking they shouldbe safe. Guess I should have. If those get damaged I cant get them replaced or fixed so that needs to go. Maybe I should sell them to some idiot and see if they are at 100% when I get em back.
guys i just seen the most dispickabel thing ever just hapen
i was in ah and 5 overt imps runinto town and incaped all the one who were runing missons then they walked up to them and sed /tip me 2k or i db you
and you know what most of them tiped them
so they just kept doing this intiell i had enough got naked and burnd them and after about8 deaths i got them all
my point is guys this is down right rong this is bull
DEVS WHAT ARE YOU THINKING IS THIS WHAT YOU REALY WANT TO HAVE HAPEN
I think most mad because they have expensive armours/Equiptments. For the time taken to acquired a set of those sure not easy. But what happen if it only cost you 50-80K ? I don't think it matter that much.
IMO the decay is not that horrible, but I mostly PvE. I also have Fiegn Death, so if things go south, I can hit that and even if it incaps me I cannot be DB'd. Where I do feel the decay hurts is in PvP. I know that PvP results in an obviously large number of DBs when compaired to PvE and thus even a 1% extra decay becomes huge in one night of fighting. Say you do insure your 33000 condition composite BP and die 10 times in one night. In that one night you have lost 10% and therefore, even with repair your armor is only going to last about 2 weeks before you need to replace it. So every 2 weeks you are dropping 300k+ for replacement (sliced how you want it) armor. Not only that, but you have to waste a ton of time finding that armor and getting it sliced right. Personally, in order to get the encumbrances the way i wanted them, I have bought as many as 6 composite BPs just to fill out my set. If I have to go through the same hassle every 2 weeks, it is just too much, I would rather just use spices and go unarmored.
My solution? Make PvE deaths decay equipment (like now) and PvP deaths give severe faction point penalties. How severe? Well upon DB I currently lose about 30ish FPs. How about if they made it a loss of 2x current numbers. Die 10 times in a night and that is 600+ FP lost, which is a considerable penalty to some, but not as severe as 10% item decay.
ok first off will you losers quit **edit**in ragging on his spelling. jesus it must feel so good and self gratifying to notice the short commings in others.
ok now that that is out of the way. he has a point. thsi is total b.s and while im not going to cancel my account over it. i wont partake in pvp. my new motto is **edit** pvp. untill the DEVS fix it i wont partake in any of this bs. the DEVS are going to keep fooling around untill they piss every1 off. one day they will be sorry for pissing so many people off. i dunno w/e i put my spiel on now i gotta go,
