Thread: Space and Ground Quests mixing not sure I like this at all
i have mixed feelings about this. On a personal level, i love this mixture. Yet, i have been helping a lot of friends with their missions. They are tier noob to tier 2. It is impossible for them to do it, and it is hard when they get destroyed, and have to repeat all the ground quest to get back to space. I think they should be a walkaround for some people, maybe add extra steps to their quest. There should always be options, if you are flying or ground impaired.

Space to me is just an arcade game... Follow target, shoot... Boring.
I thought space was going to be like Earth & Beyond with cantinas we could dock at and run around inside of.
For me, the only fun thing about space is running around inside the MP ships. The only reason I want Master pilot is for the MP ship. But I'm happy with my vet reward so I never bothered to master, just 3333. These stupid quests are forcing me to master.
Don't want to sound like an @ss, but you don't have to do the quests.
There are many quests you can do without ever going into space, there are many that you can do without ever having to spend much time on the ground - it was about time we had some that mix the two.
If you don't like it then just stick to doing ground based quests only.
However one option might be to do the space quests in group with a multi-player ship. Need one master pilot though.
These combined missions are fantastic, you can't get upset about them just because you can't do them.
I thoroughly enjoyed it and was amazed at how it all tied in beautifully, I got a real sense of accomplishment out of it and it must be the first time a SWG quest has ever given me that.
The entrance to the hunting grounds is for players that have taken the time to play the game... if you haven't bothered to play JTL before then that's your fault.

I am a 2222 pilot, so I should be able to handle these ships no problem. When I played in space before, I was able to handle groups of enemies like this without too much difficulty.

To get access to certain areas of an expansion I paid in full... I do have to go into space.
There is nothing I hate more than quests that must be done in order to gain access to areas. I hated it on EQ2 and of course here it is in SWG. Go figure.

I get to the point where I have to do the space excort mission.Background: I bought JTL when it came out and really did not like it too much. The twitch aspect is not what I wanted in an MMORPG. I have a PS2 for that if I want.So I am in space doing the escort, talking with my bud that are doing theirs as well. I get jumped by the fighters and the lag is so awful, that I can not hit these ships at all. The fighters are making right-angle turns and rubber-banding all over the place. Maybe its because I am playing at a peak time, but it was awful. My two friends had the same issues and gave up on it.Basically, their opinion was that wookieeland can go to (your favorite place here). I am of a similar opinion. I know that the devs want to integrate the ground and space game, but I think they should understand that there is a large group of players that do not like the space game. I being one of them.This also ties into the Boba Fett Relics quest, where I got waxed in space because I couldn't kill the fighters and got ganked by some neighboring fighters that agro'd me. Now I am stuck on that quest too, unable to go forward or backward in it.Please devs, put some thought into making resets for these quests so that players who fail or have technical (lag) problems, can do them again. Otherwise, you are locking us out of a lot of the new content.Thanks,EawetWanderhome
I absolutely love the ground/space interaction. This is what has been missing from SWG in my opinion. If you watch the movies you always see ground and space action. This is the most immersion I've experienced in game.
I can relate to the lag though. Space has been more laggy for me lately. In fact, everything has been more laggy for me. It's not gfx related either. I've tried turning everything off, and get the same lag. It is extremely bad in Kashyyyk space. So I can sympathize with you. To keep my immersion going, I just pretended the lag was do to the pilots +rooting+ me in space
