Now there's the question of the day!



To keep word from spreading the group experience was being cut. Simple as that.


That is exactly right. This whole development process for the group xp nerf has been one deceptive act compounded upon another.

1. Untruthful Patch notes suggesting there was only a change to the way xp was displayed.

2. Skimpy testing so no one would notice.

3. Not displaying the actual Xp earned so it will be harder for players realize how badly they have been nerfed on XP.

4. Tiggs claiming she didn't know whether change was intended or not. Even giving her the beneift of the doubt and she didn't know either someone lied to her or it suggest she didn't do her job.

SOE is showing their true colors on this one. They don't actually want feedback on whether we like changes or not. They obviously don't care. Thats why when everyone reacted negatively to change, they pulled it off test center and tested internal until they were ready to spring it on us.

I guess you have been caught red handed this time SOE.






Eaxtly, this is unacceptable behavior on part of SOE, im taking abreak from this game untill there is either new things to do or you realise just how much you screwd up, reverse this bullcrap and give us an appoligie.

/agree. It seems like the CU - in its infinite bork - nerfed the solo game and made grouping the name of the game nowadays, and now pub 22 nerfs grouping. It just doesn't make a hard-core SWG veteran want to stick around; it makes you wonder if SOE wants to keep its players and customers.A jedi can make more xp solo than in a full group apparently, although that's paltry compared to either solo xp pre-CU or group xp post-CU.


I expect SOE and its defenders will point to the CU and defend pub 22 by saying that the CU was very controversial too, but ended up working out fairly well. I can only say this in response to that, or any other defense of SWG/SOE development: I'm only here because SWG is the only Star Wars game in town and the bulk of other serious MMORPGs are Medieval in nature. If it wasn't this dadblamed addiction, I'd be long gone.
