I think it's time to remove insured decay upon death completely and just add 99% wounds as a death penalty. You may want to look into this idea...

hey th, just wanted to say i'm sorry for the ignorant people on the boards who assume they know how the internals of a massive mulitplayer game work.


i'll bring out the firehose to hold them back. they're all just mad about the 1% thing. Hopefully you can get the DEVS to try working on it. I for one see this as a REALLY big thing to change and it'll get more people into PVP. I for one cannot afford PVP...











This post makes no sense...you bash people for being upset...then you say that you cant afford PvP and agree that the decay needs to go away. Perhaps you should use the hose elsewhere.


Anyway...im tired of 15 bucks a month for failed promises, for "we cant do that", for crappy customer support, and for fixes that should come and dont and overall very bad decision making and developing of this game.


The only reason I still play it is because Im a guild leader and my girlfriend is happy with the game.


These failed promises, reversals on decisions, and bad bad bad foresight and development needs to end. The proverbial head must come out, if you know what I mean, and things have got to be done better around here.


They screwed around with player cities, killed (or at least cut by 60%+) GCW activity with Decay, STILL have COMPLETELY broken proffessions with no fix in sight (Squad Leaders being one), PvP balance issues in combat. They screwed around on this and did a reversal of something MANY people were looking forward to.


it never ends. SOE is doing a worse job on this game than EA Games did with Earth and Beyond. I was one of their biggest fans with this game and Ive had a lot of respect for TH's efforts and thos eof the Dev Team. The faith has been there, the problem is SOE continues to fall short of supporting all of that faith.

Furthermore, another reason you may want to add this ATLEAST for the time being util you figure out how ti get things working right is because you failed to deliver, YET AGAIN on a promise. You want loyal customers, try getting things right for a change...

TAKE AWAY THE 1% DECAY!!! FOR PVE AND PVP UNTIL YOU SORT OUT THIS MESS!!! (yeah i am screaming and pissed right now!)

PVP sucks ass with the decayand losing a set of gear in one night is not right and leads to naked fighting!!!

This is the BIGGEST let down from you guys I have ever had!

There's alot of alternatives to decay like some people stated. 25% wounds on a cloned death and 50% on an uncloned is a good one.

What the Hell! this is Star Wars not freaking Star Tailors! I apologize to any tailors within earshot, but for the love of god most people bought this game to fight not to become Calvin Klein!!!!


How can you ruin (yes i said cuz it needed to be said!) this game to appeaze a proffesion that is obviously in the minority?? If you really loved them they would create more clothes for us to buy not make it so my 500k suit of armor is worthless in a freaking day!!!


I remember the post on the front page where this issue was specifically mentioned as going bye bye. Now you turn around and LIE and tell us that its a mistake and was simply worded wrong? Do you think we are all stupid?!? You people are backtracking on your promises. AGAIN!!!


Everyday in various magazines i have to read how this game is crap and none of the promised features are there that where so touted. I was overlooking this problemand giving you people the benefit of the doubt as this was such a new game. However i am begining to think you DEVS are running this thing into the ground. This was suppose to be THE mmorpg!!! Instead it is a running joke too all but your most faithful customers. You take what little is fun about this game (PVP) and crumple it up in our faces! We are only her nowbecause we made friends with people and love STARWARS not because of your crummy game!


I know this alleged combat fix is coming, butI am slowly losing faith in this game and there are several other big name games on the horizen so you people better get it in gear. You have yet to show us any plans of what is in store in the space expansion and we have absolutly no clue what is going on anymore. All you guys do is try to tied us over with posts about what we would like to see in the future( like we really have any say in it). If we did have any say in this gameyou would dump the retarded insurance issue. Seems to me the only content comingour wayis just more Posted promises that you simply will renig on anyways.

I was looking forward to being able to pvp in armor again and not running around in my underwear.


I was looking forward to having some opponents in pvp again.


I can't understand how the devs can write code so that when you die in pvp you won't lose the insurance tag on your items, but they say they can't distinguish between a pvp death and a mob death? That whole statement in itself is contradictory. (read lies)


Nobody (ok 90% of people who pvp)gives a crap about paying for insurance, we give a crap about paying 1million for a set of armor and having it be gone in 100 deaths.


Put up the cost of insurance and remove the 1%.

You know what ?


Even if we where all obliged to vote to a petition on removing decay for being able to play and 99% of us voted for the removal, I'm pretty sure SOE would keep the decay because they decided it is good for us and they are the gods of this world and they know much more than us what is good for us and what we like.


There are tons of posts with good suggestions on death penality and money stink... decay is still here, ty SOE

Or you know you could just make it how you first said....no decay at all if you're insured. That made everyone very happy....

Very disappointing.

Item decay is the only reason I don't PvP. I was really looking forward to engaging in that aspect of the game with the removal of decay from a PvP death.

Bummer....




Same thing for me. I never PvPed and the 1% decay is something that keeps me from doing so. Didn,t they say they would remove the decay from PvP? Why did they turn back? It would have made me try PvP... oh well guess the game will still be a grindfest...
