Do not say I did not prophesize this. TH knew he would do it. Combat CH's knew he would do it. The Combat Rebalance is further delayed.
TH spells the demise of CH as we know it. As we know it is pretty SNAFU right now.
Pay attention to GAME INFORMER's TOP 10 games at E3 this month. WOW made the list. JTL did not. People have given up on the SWG SOE team. I for one have as well. Many more will follow.
Even the much anticipated City of Villians (which is not due out until 05) got a write up in the back. JTL is not mentioned anywhere.
All that being said, TH whammied us once again.
It is sad;I was so excited about the concept of a Star Wars MMORPG when I started in August, but it seems that due to a team that is either understaffed, or underqualified (I'd bet money on understaffed) the game is falling so short of the potential that it had. With the WoW and City of Villians releases looming over the heads of SOE I am very suprised that they didn't buckle down and do what Sony does best, out-develop the competition. That is how Sony's Playstation won in the hot market of console games, they out developedNintendo, Sega, and Microsoftplain and simple. SOE's decision to not follow this model, I fear, is the beginning of the end for a game that could have stood out far ahead of the pack.
I for one will be picking up WoW on its release, and although I'd love to have a truly great Star Wars MMORPG, SWG just falls short in many areas.
