Thread: Rotw okay what are the devs smokeing.
I know how you feel man. I didnt even play ROTW yet and I knew that it was gunna be this way. The lack of movement is just like every other MMORPG wher you can t run up a friggen hill. The fighting system sounds very familiar....and on top of that, if you check swgcreatures you will see that long long ago I called that all the creatures on the planet would be the same friggen CRAP on all th other planets... trust me The force told me that making this would have been a bad idea, why couldnt they add a better planet
Like Hoth. That fits into the game. I mean here.. Time frame wise it is correct, Inbetween ep 4 and 5. The rebels have the secret rebel base, so rebel missions and such can come from that base, you can go there recruit and maybe they can add a new profession for it like who knows engineer (control turrets), walker pilot or something. anyway, It would be a huge PVP place too, every week there is a live event where the imperials attack the base, there is a small imperial camp that you can go too. Whoever wins gets bonus exp or faction or something, NPCs and players would be in the event (just like battlefields were) you die your out for that round. It would be fun for everyone. Creature handelers like us could tame taun tauns and other hoth creatures, Big game hunters would go on Wampa hunts in Wampa caves. The planet would be harsh and hard to live on (a differnt looking terrain planet for a change). so no houses on it, but you can place harvesters and hoth would have rare and good minerals for crafters. You cant use a speederbike on the planet. The snow speeder aircraft would be a new ship, maybe add new cloths for tailors like clothes for the cold weather, new Cold res. armor (before the CU) Cold special ability weapons (like swords and such) and new quests and missions.
If you ask me something like that would e fun, When I heard Kashyyk was the new planet I was so disgusted I didnt play galaxies for almost 2 weeks.
No offense to those who enjoy it, but This game is really on the edge of its rope and getting worse by the day.
I've already cancelled my account, however it is prepaid so I will continue to try it out until it expires, but so far my impressions are bleh!!
Search your feelings young jedi. You know it to be true! 
Bye Bye MCH, now MRM/MD (YaY! THANKS TO THE CU, BACK TO BETA TESTING!!) 
Also Smuggler's Alliance Ace 
Well though I agree with the EQ2 (not EQ) and WoW similarities I woud like to point out that both those other games have vastly bigger areas of free travel in before you come to zone boundries.
The Graveyard even has a "Spirit Healer" right out of WoW.
I also note that miners on the Wookie world are reduced to hand sampling the resources cause you cant place harvesters anywere we tried and the resource map is the same as it is on other planets and the high concentrations are most often in the green areas on the map were you cant get to. 
Sigh
Now as to levels there is this lizard that is lvl 55 but fights and dies like a lvl80 so I think they (the DEVs) are not being totally honest with us on that lvl system. I am MCH so that is lvl 55. I have enough pistols that I can hit with about 500 each shot. I have a (now lvl 70) Cragy bulma. the 2 of us could not take that lizard down. She still had 50% health. It was only when I grouped with 3-4 other players were we able to take her out.
BTW I HATE running into invisable walls when I am running for my life.
-Indene-
Well its good news for me
Since I didn't buy it
Glad I didn't waste my money
Feel bad for all the people who did though, I'ts a shame they don't listen to the folks in the forums for ideas, they seem to have little imagination and keep duplicating other pieces of software lately.
it is ok, not gret though. The fact that there are zones sucks, totally removes freedom of movement and exploration from this great game.
Oh well, I Still like the game, however it does seem borked.

i discovered that too. then i grouped with another guy and he mentioned "elite creature"
what the hell is an elite creature. is this some way of giving surprise to pve'rs who are bored with the lvl system?
"it says its a 55 and im an 80.......but wait it keeps incapping me? what the hell.
soe make up you damn mind.
to me ROTW was a secret tactic to force people to buy "JumpToLightSpeed" cause ROTW's content seems nothing bigger than a normal publish, while the description for the digital download says "as an added bonus you get JumpToLightSpeed!
so basically by dangling a new planet infront of our faces they will get more people to try the space expansion.
i like the new planet, want to try the quests, but i feel it should have been a publish instead of something i paid for, especially when i already have the space expansion.
