1 star is a start. If you follow the "better than nothing" logic.

Why did they even put a star raiting in the forums.... People seem to have more fun slapping 1s to people then actually caring what the post says...


btw WoW does look real good too and I will prob be getting that as well. (gotta love Blizzard)




The Force is my ally, and a powerful ally it is...

I am pretty sure they are both wives/children/etc. of SOE employees and are trying to spam the thread so the mods have an excuse for locking it in the morning.

Either that, or just two people that are really sad...

That flame really sizzled.....and since the real game is battled out on the forums each night....I guess Damaniac and I tag teamed you bee-hatches. SPAM WARS -----------> A GALAXY RETARDED. (I borrowed this line from someone else on Naritus who is far better than I)

Serouisly TH, why have the combat revamp after JTL when this game is already bugged to living hell and ur wanting to bring new extremely bugged stuff the game? Iv been here since Day 1 and this game is still as bugged as it was. Each patch u guys just add more and more. The Server lag on ALL the planets blows so hard since Patch 9.1 that everyone is crashing all the time. Instead of fixing this u add new **edit** to this game.


Ever try going to a battle TH? Come to Bloodfin and go to VoD around 11pm to 1am EST and all you will ever see is Fencers, Riflesman, with all them having docs in their template, CMs, couple pikeman and a couple swordsman and maybe 2 TKMs. Thats what u have to be to PvP and stay alive.

Tell me please, I am fascinated by human nature....Why do you rant? Does it make you feel any better? Do you think you accomplished something? Did you make a difference here?

ahem... read above... *cough* hypocrite*cough*

i notice you are registered feb./24/04... did you happen to notice that almost 85%+ of people who are saying the are going to quit have been playing PAYING for more then 9 months... if you had seen everything they have you would feel the same way. . youll see keep playing and paying... im sure in 6 months youll still think it was $ well spent... psh






Speak for yourself, not him, or me. I'm not leaving and you better take me off that "complaint counter", not all posts here are negitive. You can note MY registered date and post count. He is right, many of you are throwing a tantrum when all they want to do is NOT make the mistake they did a year ago with JtLS. Is this cambat rebuild really that much more important then having the spaceships added? NO it is NOT. Sorry. That is the hard, cold truth.


I know something about schedualing of a big software project and sometimes you can throw all the programers in NASA and JPL with all the capital of theNational GDP behind it and actually make it take LONGER to do. This is the right aproach, had to be done.

Since I lost my hour-long really well thought out post to the ether, here's a just afew thoughts:


-Jedi Revamp is balancing Jedi combat. A combat balance.

-The Creators had a dream. To play in the Star Wars universe. To fight in the war itself. To fly in space. To be able to become a Jedi. Jedi and Spaceflight are contained within the broad envelope that is the GCW.



-JTL being called an "expansion" is a fallacy, I think. It's a completion of the whole. Jedi is also a completion of this whole.
-Think of it like a pie-chart. The pie is, with equal thirds 1) Jedi, 2) Spaceflight, 3) Everything else. GCW/Combat is not part of this pie. It IS this pie. You cannot fix a pie that isn't all there yet. Unless you want a game that's about one slice. The vision is to have all these slices work together seamlessly.
-Step back and look at the big picture. The Publish 57 picture. The 5-year outlook. These schedule changes take place, and will be completed, in the next six months. They are creating a game to endure, not to pander to the MTV generations quick-fix and me-want-now.

-"If you're going through hell... keep going." -Winston Churchill

-Once the dream is complete, then they can fix it so they all work together, instead of it being a slap-on addition.

-The Devs are not trying to trick you. They are trying to help you. They lose sleep trying to make you happy.

-There is no possible way to please this many people all at the same time.

-Concede to the possiblity that the Devsknow what they are doing, and are smarter than you. It's possible, right?

-If you think they are just about the money, yeah, you're kinda right:but they are long-term investing. Making a lot of customers happy for years, rather than the few impatient ones happy for a few months.

-If you are thinking of quitting, or taking a break, maybe you should. But keep an eye on things, because that which is driving you away will be fixed. And by fixed I mean improved. And in that, right soon.

-...us trusting zealots will keep things tidy for you.
