There are a few suck-ups and others who will like anything you feed them.


The rest of us (85% or so), ain't buying what your selling.. Perhaps it's time to wake up and listen to the larger player base who pay your bills?


Living in happy dreamland won't stop the exodus. I just cancelled my 2 accounts. I'm not a malcontent. I've played from doing corpse runs to the present. I leave only because I'm convinced the Devs live in stone towers and eat rainbows and buttercream-blissfully ignorant of the chorus of voices crying for a sympathetic ear.


You blew it Sony. Looks like your going to blow it tommorow too.Pity. This game had so much unrealizedpotential....

In Austin, our Star Wars Galaxies™ team is focused on a big change to the game's combat system. The "Combat Upgrade" is now live on the SWG test server, and it's getting very positive feedback from the SWG playerbase.

The "Combat Upgrade" is now live on the SWG test server, and it's getting very positive feedback from the SWG playerbase. The team is also putting the finishing touches on Star Wars Galaxies™: Episode III Rage of the Wookies™, which launches in less than a month. The SWG playerbase is very strong, and we're continuing to put a lot of effort into making Star Wars Galaxies™ even better and adding new content all the time. The latest expansion pack adds Episode III content into the universe -- something our SWG players were asking for!






Obviously someone's Rose Colored Glasses are a bit too dark. More then 75% of us are NOT satisfied with the Combat Upgrade yet no one at SOE cares. Like I've posted before, when alot of us finally have enough... we will go our separate ways with our fond memories of the SWG that we have grown so fond of.

This guy needs a clue, can someone help him? Some things I like, although I don't understand what's wrong with the majority of the combat that needed to be fixed. Could've just patched what was wrong and been done with it. Now I have to play EQ3, ie SWG.

/I dont belive that u will ever read this but i am going to give u my 2 cent any way. AS far as the cu goees it is the worst thing I have ever heared of and if your people are lieing to u and telling that the majority of players i s giving positive fedback on lol just tack a few momuments to read these pages and tell me what it looks like the majority thinks of it . If u relase this new combat systey u will loses alot of players. Granted hat might be the intedned idea to weed us of and get a new crop in . But sir to lie to us. This so called up grade is the worst thing that I have ever heard of and it will no longer be star wars only another one of your many games with a star wars coating .If development is lieing to u becouse they are unable to come up with new idea so the copy other game combat systems such as "WOW" or "EQ2" perhapse it is time to get some new blodd in your devlopement team . What ever the case maybe sir if u alowe this "CU" to be realsead as it curently stands u will loses over a 1 week period 45% of your customer base and over the fallowing 2 mounths u will lose 50-65%. Those are over course only my progetion based on the the thought i have read and the feedback i am hear in game vary few peole like this CU .

Well I've seen a lot of feedback about how "excited we all are" about the new CU and expansion, but what about SOE's customer support? I haven't seen a lot of posts about them and Galaxies has got the worst CSRs I've ever seen and so far it's just getting worse. People in my guild aren't putting in tickets about ligitimate issues because they don't wanna be banned for disturbing the CSRs naptime. Mostly because they've put in tickets and after the CSR closing the ticket without fixing it, they put in a new one and are actually threatened with a ban. Why are they completely revamping the game with a new system when the current one is still so broken? First fix what's broke guys, then consider creating new game mechanics.


Well that's my two cents. Fix your game, then give it stuff.
