Please help. This is a serious question and NOT one intended to flame the game or start a flame war. I have been playing the game for a couple of months now and have been enjoying it. However, I now find myself as a master TK and a master Doctor and no longer see anything to do that is fun in the game - but I recognize I must surely be missing some content. So please help me out. Obviously since I am master level (no macro by the way - all real) I have done so many missions I am blue in the face. I have acquired a fully decorated house and have over 10 million credits in the bank- so killing creatures for profit really isn't fun any more. I have done many of the badge missions (they are really all the same and very boring). What am I missing (oh, I find no real fun in PvP)? I do thank you for your serious answers (if there are any).

Grind. that is the only thing in this game anymore. There is no real content at all. You can basically beat this game in a month. But seeing as how you have done a combat profession, why not try your hand at crafting. It's a different experience seeing if you can build a successful business. Just a suggestion.

I find PvP fun when I am grouped with only a few people. There is a lot of excitement to be had when you continually run the risk of dying and you manage to survive. Set traps where everyone can play a role and you can humiliate your enemy. These personal events are what keep me playing. Finally, beating the 1st tier three mission of storm squadron the other night was the most fun I have had playing this game in months.

MMORPG says it all. It's not only about the game's content, it's also about the content you create. It's about the interactions with your guild (if applicable) or your grouping with other members towards a common goal. My best times have always been grouping with like strengthgamers and goingNPC hunting.


Have you thought of becoming a JediMaster? Have you progressed through all available professions? Have you thought of owning your own town or becoming a strong political figure? Have you acquired all badges?


Have you been intospace? JTL is wonderful.


SWG can give you only so much. You also have to give back in order to make the connection/relationship work.

I don't play flight sims so I can't say if there is anything to do in JTL. I still am in disbelief they chose not to add anything to the game (ground is the game)in their first expansion (besides a game withinthe game). There is no content. DWB, Corvette are their idea of content ?? They are nothing more that harder versions of some of the other dungeons.


I am in no way quitting SWG, I like hanging out with my guild, running my new DE business andworking away at my jedi from time to time, but as it looks like SWG may be in soome serious trouble with regards to long term survival, it is time for all of us to consider alternate games. Yes most are interested in EQ II or Wow (I know I am)


However for now if you want content and some neat quests, I would recommend pre-ordering Guild Wars and getting into the stress test. There was an open event this past weekend and a closed one (pre-order gives access) this coming weekend.


While the quests were not epic puzzle solving quests (but I believe they are working toward it), they werefar more interesting than all the SWG quests combined andGW only just finished alpha! I really enjoyed what I got out of it, everything is time instanced (nice to avoid uber d00ds), PVP was alot of fun (I hate SWG PVP), quests requiredteam work, customer service was quick to respond, loots were nicely varied and all useful (if you could not use something that dropped you could break it down and get resources/weapon upgrades from it), etc...


Everything withGW is not wonderful but hopefully upgrading to it is coming. The user interface, chat, email, navigation are not nearly a good as the SWG, there is no intricate crafting system (you take looted items/resources to NPC crafter), at the moment you can play a human only and professions are somewhat limited.


Sorry I have no answer to your question of what you can to do for conent in SWG, but I think in this game there is no content, PVP is not content, loot camping to get that +25 tape is not content, kill camping NS spawns for crystals is not content, the themeparks are not content (they are ajoke), JTL will not keep people interested for more than a few months, combat rebalance (is meaningless other than to PVP'ers), GCW could be content (oh thats right they have not felt it necessary to do anything about the fundamental base idea that is SW).


Yeah I am bitter, I still love playing this game, but so many people have left due to the narrow sightedness of the SWG team. This game had such potential and still can be salvaged but things really need to start being addressed to the masses, not to the uber leet crybabies on the forumsthat are worried about a CH with 3 rancors.

I recently took a break from my two main characters and started a pure crafter on a new server. I have set my self the goal of never killing anything for money - it is fun trying to level up like that, at least it is for me.

Well Ive been organising guided tours to the corvette and shortly to DWB. Nightsister elders are also a challenge as are krayts (finding them is a problem).

PvP is another worth while arae to get into since human opponents are always league ahead of even the most impressive NPCs.


I think the key to enjoying the game though is teamwork which takes effort but can be very rewarding. If you are a loner you will soon get bored and go alone to somewhere else lonely. weep 4 u 1 do.
