Apparently you didnt read what TH said. The CU will be free, the expanison will cost.

What facts are you basing that statement on? It seems to be a pessimistic stream of consciousness that you've typed there.


Just because they make the technology available to muck about with in game doesn't mean the timeline advances, they are just putting it in because you can see cybernetics in the movies.


You only see speederbikes (swoop is from EP II I believe) in ROTJ, but that doesnt mean they weren't around befotre that.






Ok, youre right. I just misread the comment. Though I swear it wasnt some sub-conscious thought about cybernetic limbsbut rather from a comment here: http://pc.ign.com/articles/594/594329p1.html

Im usually pretty positive on the progress of what the devs have been doing, but I think this decision is going to reallyruin SWG if they foward the timeline. It will be such a minute GCW.SWG needs to be in a perpetual timeline between ANHand ESB,IMHO.




I have to agree with the other posters and say your statement makes no sense at all. They are introducing cybernetic limbs for players, not giving Luke a cybernetic hand. They wouldn't forward the timeline and skip right over ESB anyway... There are some pretty significant things we would miss if they did that.


I think the game will be perpetually stuck between IV and V for a long time, but I hope they do slowly advance the storyline at some point.






Some of my pet peeve bugs:
•Armorsmith protection layers were not converted with the CU.
•Ship Details window does not close when you click "Travel" resulting in the message "You have lost the target. Closing interface."

What 2 planet expansion? Do you mean the 2 new space zones in addition to the planetary zones?

I was wondering the same thing. At no point did they EVER claim there were going to be two new planets with JTL. People assumed there would be, but you know what they say about people who assume.

Are you retarded? seriously?

How many years did George Lucas spend making new special effects so he could go back and redo Star Wars the way it was meant to be seen.

Come on he made Pixar and a whole bounch of different special effects just so he could perfect his movies.

George Lucas is a pefectionist and being the way he is so is his company.

Lucas Arts is not the problem. Its SOE. Just look at all their other games.





Are you saying that the way he butchered the scene with Han and Greedo in the cantina was the way it was meant to be seen? *shudder* Give me the good old unmodified trilogy in all of its glorious imperfection any day.

Yeah well if they say
  • And experience the all new combat system featuring new weapons, new armor, new effects and an all new user-interface to make combat even more engaging and fun!

  • This says to me that either you will pay to get the CU, or the CU will be done before the expansion. What I am wondering where is the other new planet that was supposed to be in the 2 plant expasion with JTL?

    SOE should have known that Lucasarts wants the revamp coordinated with the release. It only makes sense. Why attract 1,000s of new players to a broken unbalanced game so they can quit after a month?
    Now the fire is lit under SOE to make it happen. Good call if you ask me





    Oh yeah, because we programmers are known for getting great code out under a limited deadline... Great call.

    p.s. "light a fire under..." is a phrase that was commonly used by the two worst managers I ever had.
