Wow... what a really great tip...


Here's an idea TH, how about a tip that tells us, your customers, how we can get SOE to listen to our feedback cos you blatantly don't.


2005 was shaping up to be a great year for SWG. Things were moving in the right direction. Communication increased ten-fold, frequent bug-fixes and patches came out and some great enhancements were made...


And then the CU happened - or more specifically, the level system of the CU happened...


I recall you once said that the devs wanted to take time to get the CU right. Wanted the input from your customers so you could deliver some we wanted. What the hell happened?


You're probably bored of all the threats of people quitting now, but know this TH. I cancelled my pre-order for ROTW purely because of what I tested on TC-EP3 and TC5. I'm willing to give the CU a month or two to convince me. I am giving you this chance and there are many others like me. I have to ask - is no one in SOE even slightly bothered about this? Is no one bothered about the countless "leaving" threads? Even a little acknowledgement would go a long way.


All you have to do is say something like "We hear you. We know the majority don't like the CU, but please trust us - we believe you will like it very soon". This acomplishes two things: we feel like you're listening and our confidence in your decisions can be increased.


Communication TH - it's not that big a deal to ask for is it?


But then again, I'll be very suprised if this post isn't removed....

Why don't you give us the option to go back to the old interface.

The terrible design you are forcing on us bad enough without having to look at those ugly anti-immersive icons.


Anti-immersive? Have you looked at them? Like "Head Shot" being a pic of a ST getting shot in the head? Or maybe "Cripple Shot" being a AT-AT toppling over from getting shot in the leg? You mean those anti-immersive icons?

Look a little closer next time.

The devs can't please everyone.






The factionally aligned ones are the most anti-immersive. If you are a imperial player, why would you want an icon that includes one of your factions soldiers or equipment being attacked by your action.

Along the same lines as another poster mentioned.. If your In Game resolution is Lower than your Desktop Resolution you can ALT+ENTER to send SWG into a window mode. This is sometimes helpful if you dont want to ALT+TAB while doing something else on your computer. I like to do this so I can keep a closer eye on what is going on in the game while I look something up or chat someone on instant message.

p.s. this is a Tips thread, not a whine thread, trolls please move along..

Another good tip would be to suggest the devs unlock everyone's second character slot, and give everyone a freemonth of playtime(the devs owe that to the players anyhow) ... for almost two years this was barely a 23 hour a day game with the daily server downtimes. Two years =24 months, we've only received 23 months of productwhile paying for 24 months of service.

This weekly thread should be re-named "The Tuesday Vent Thread"


Sorry, sounded funny at the time....




My tip (to try and stay on topic):

If you highlight icons on your radar it will tell you the name of the blip, what it is (entity = critter, character, NPC, etc), how for from you it is and a few other things.


I find this really helpfull

You need to get on one train and stay on it. (pick something, andwhen you get quashed just shut up)


I'll be 100 credits that every one you know is sick of hearing you complaining (jumped ship?)and that's why you're here complaining to strangers.

May I ask, did you cancel you ROTW pre-order too?


Why did you pre-order it in the first place if you were so unhappy? or are you happy with SWG1 and don't want SWG2?


I'd much rather get a new game for free to $30and have the one I pay for get cancelled, shut down, or just given up and and have to spend $80 on an entire new one.


I didn't even pre-order it, nor did I with JTL and didn't get around to really getting it untill I found out about the "travel" button.
