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 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!

---

Finally found a solid reason why this game is, as others have said, becoming more WOW-like or EQ2-izied:

Sorry, don't know how to clickify

...and I know its over a week old, but this reporter probably got his facts from the same place Mr. Smedley got his SWG facts.

Everyone this is exactly why we are seeing the changes that we are seeing...it even mentions the game rules will be changed to match the other mmorpg's such as WOW, EQ, EQ2, and FFXI. But...then it was just a april fools joke...lol

This makes me think like they realy want to get rid of Veterans at all. Newbies will be ok with new system as they not get used to old still.

But loosing 50% peoples heh *cough* CU simply turn game in EQ'ish game. Thats not SWG anymore, fast phased combat is myth, Dynamics gone down by 100%. Just make it 3d action then? Why not

Episode 3 hmm. Never have seen anyone asked for it, nor as Full scale expansion.

CU will "RIP" SwG. I am not whining here, do DEV's actualy see what peoples tell, ot the yacting like Bull which see Red flag? > > > > > *BAM*

have u even played eq. some fruit one day penned the phrase that CU is like wow and eq, and like lemmings you all bought into it. typical.

---

I'll meet you halfway. HALF of the CU is the best thing to ever happen to this game....the rest of it is the worst.

so how much of cu have u played. im lvl 18 right now and i cant go back to the busted live game. its a mess. cu even its its buggy state is far superior. i knwo exactly what i can fight, and exactly how to level. no guess work. if i die its because ti was my fault. not because i didnt understand a list of 45 numbers that make no sense. i have played since day 1 and i stand by the claim that cu will be the cure for this dying game.

You think i am telling it out of nothing - do you? I am not making statments before i tryed thing i am writing about. Lvl 22

[edit] Game died because of another changes - CU is not the cure for sure. Adding GDK scales drops from each of Giant Dune Kimogila? Adding hell loads of krayts? Things like this turned game in easy gain, day's before then when you actualy had to find it, it was hard to find stuff on killed rare mob as well. Now there is hell loads of it and it have no price. As well as PVE bases which drop a lot of very nice CA's, ones which was impossible to get before. Even if ones like this was dropping it was very, very rare. Now almost everyone can buy RIS or this UBER CA's (clothing atchments), DoT (damage over time) weapons which is completely out of balance. This is the thing which should be put back t normal, not by CU. CU is just big simplify of game, they made it more casual, i don't think player even need to use keyboard now in combat you can fight same effective just by mouse. *YAWN*.

Enough with the pissing contest, you like it, we don't. Yay for everyone involved...this is getting nowhere. If you feel the need to discuss it further, use PM's or IM's.
