Commando Archive

Now I know I could post this else where but I dont' want to. I value the opinions of my fellow commandos quite a bit. Ok, now what do you feel is more important (in a long term sense of the game). Let's take a look at the current status of the game shall we?.......Ok we have Force Sensitive players' and soon we will have Jedi a-plenty. We have the space expansion (yes its fun, it's new, it's and expansion) and now we have a distant light at the end of the tunnel that could be one of two things (be it the death of a great game or the lights above a surgeons table after they revive you) A.K.A the Combat Upgrade and so we continue to wait.

So lets' say we get the Combat Upgrade and it's great, the Devs' have achieved balance to the Force and people are now happy with the defined roles and abilities. Then what? What else to we have? For those of us that have been playing for quite some time there is no new content left. So essentially what has been received at that point is this. We have space, we have balance, we have no more to look forward to and SWG is now full of thouroughly bord players (this is just my view). I would say that yes, all of the above should be first and foremost to adding new content (with the exception of JTL). I for one truly like the idea of the FS village, and high level bunkers and the exceptionally rare items that SHOULD be hard to find. But some of the only true content (by Starwars relation that everyone can/will/does participate in) is the GCW. Now I've read, and heard that a GCW revamp/upgrade will be happening. And the possibilities there after. Now I am well aware that I am looking into the distant future here, but, the true reason of this post is revolving around the Content of the game. I do enjoy what is there currently, there arestill a few things I have yet to accomplish (like make it to the bottom of the DWB by myself (impossible I know)).. Ok time to wrap it up, if you take into account all that has been stated, all you have done, what you are currently doing. Ask yourself this: What do I want next? Is it profession related or content related? (base your answer to be after the Combat Upgrade please) Please be honest with yourself here, the game is fun, but the true purpose of any game really is what it's about and what you do in the game. The secondary purpose of this game is that we are all part of a fictional universe and are able to do as we please, but the must have a better defined pupose IMHO.

For those who have read this and are in some agreement thank you. For those of you who have read and are of the polar opposite opinion, please keep in mind this is my opinion and just an opinion that I do not force upon anyone else.

Well, thats pretty much why im still not gonna renew my subscription even after these announcements that should have come a long time ago. I figure maybe i'll come back in a year or two if i dont get hooked on another mmorpg by then (which i will...im sure) maybe by then, they'll have this combat stuff straightened out...and gcw fixed...and professions...and maybe some more content

Actually...the thing that get's me excited post CU is the idea of the GCW Revamp...As many feel, when you think of Star Wars, besides thinking of Jedi, you think of the Galatic Civil War between Imperials and Rebels...That is something that hasn't really been captured by SWG to the scope it could be (just as Jest3r)...

I would love to see large battlefields full of StromTroopers clashing with Rebels (Commandos working on both sides) with AT-STs, AT-ATs, E-Webs, and other GCW related weapons and vehicles all clashing...

One we get through the CU and we figure out what else we need (like possibly some more grenades tweaks and other changes) I feel like we should push for the GCW to see their love (which is scheduled after the CU...it comes after a few other profession revamps I believe)...This would be the best time for us to get things like the E-Web, a revamped rocket launcher, and other things we've been pushing for that are big battle related...

Ya I remember reading some where we are sapose to be the Tank killers and stuff. We need to have more stuff to blow up then!

And we need to show more of our RL and less of watching the Riffleman out damage us with there Riffles! And it should not take like 15 rockets. But yes I think we need more to this game. But right now ide be happy with a more then 169 point Flame thrower!
