Droid Engineer Archive

I don't think its possible to stop it, and honestly I'm not so sure its a bad move for the game as a whole. That doesn't mean I like a lot of the changes its making to crafting, but it would be better to see about getting some changes made there than to try to stop the whole upgrade.

No options to stop it, it's set in stone just like the CU was - they ignored all the problems, lied before like they are now about the community responses, have no clue how to design a game system that will be sustainable, and have consistently (since this new dev team was hired) shown that they don't understand, don't pay attention to, and don't like crafters whatsoever. Look at what they did not only to us, but to Armorsmith, Weaponsmith, and BE for crying out loud.

With this new New Gormless Experience they're putting in, we don't even have to work on Droid Decay, you know. Since all decay is going away - crippling ALL crafters instead of just Droid Engineers.

Put it in perspective - since Rage Of The Wookies, crafters have been continually sidelined and the player-created economy has been the victim of constant assault by them. Look at the "quest" weapons that the WS community can't match. Look at the so-called "crafter content" of Trials Of Bait-&-Switch that was released.

There's nothing we can do, they hate us and do not want our money. They are incapable to dealing with the code that was originally released. These devs are led by management that is simply unable and unwilling to consider us a valuable demographic - in fact, I doubt that any of the management in charge of SWG has any real business knowledge at all. Nothing they've done so far has shown any cognizance of market share, customer loyalty, or how not to destroy a revenue stream.

Simply give up, seriously. This isn't going to be a viable game- and I doubt they will keep it open much longer after 90 percent of their current subscribers leave.

Yup. it's over. I think that it basically goes like this:

to the loyal MMORPG crew: ,,I,,

to the 3s attention span console crew: come on in, we change rulesets at least every 4 months.

so we're out.

they spent something like a year putting this NGE together.

Think of all the stuff they could have done and sorted in that time! Makes me sick tbh

Nothing will stop this debacle going live in about a week. They don't listen to their community. They don't learn from past mistakes. And less than two weeks of testing fora change this massive is laughable.

In-game riots...

But really, canceling your account is the biggest way you can stop SOE.
