After 8 months away I decided to come back and try this game again. JTL was and still is the best part of this game. The space part is great, the rest of it has serious issues that will probably never be fixed.

First off here is a list of stupid annoying things that make me not want to play the ground game -

1)my speeder gets disabled in one shot and I have to buy a new one - dumb

2) i can't step backwards ? (really stupid)

3) combat animations occur long after messages show up (you have been knocked down, then 2 seconds later you see it)

4) I can't land my ship anywhere on a planet (why not? doesnt' follow the Star Wars theme very well)

5) Item decay (Item decay sucks, and if you are going to have it you need to be able to repair everything at once - ie WOW)

Bascially this game is getting it's butt kicked by games like WOW because the devs of this game have seen fit to implement time consuming, money draining, and flat out irritating things in the interest of making people subscribe to this game longer. Here's a tip - you don't have to implement the annoying junk to keep subscriptions if you make the game FUN in the first place. And that is the root of the problem, the entire ground game in SWG is NOT fun. Heck, even EQ2 combat is more fun than SWG. The only reason and I do mean only reason this game even has any people playing it is because of the Star Wars theme. If this was not Star Wars it would have had the plug pulled a long time ago.

The only thing right with this game is JTL. Which brings me to another irritating point, why can I not as an Imperial Ace Pilot, convert my imperial prestige and starship combat exp points to FS exp? WHY? I'll tell you why, the devs want everyone to play the crappy ground game to eat up all their time.

Combat upgrade eh? Actually it did zip for the fun factor, so in essence you all wasted your time. Take a que from Blizzard and go play WOW for 30 minutes. You may get an idea of fun MMORPG combat. Then scrap this entire mess you have and start over.
