LOL, must not been around the CU long enough to know that.

This isn't a CU that SOE put into this game, they did a complete overhaul of the game to make it look cool for the release of the movie, instead of just doing the CU like us players asked for.

This new system they put into the game took away many of the realism, and life like looks playing in a real like SWG world enviroment.

In real SW, you don't see magic effects come off of mobs or players.

You don't see combat levels show over players heads, or mobs for that matter.

This is just one of several reasons why many players canceled thier accounts, and went to other games to play, and for the most part, so have I, but still trying to learn to play in this new system in order to play with a special friend. If it wasn't for my friend, I would have quit SWG entirely.

Most importantly, trying to have fun playing in it again, but still working on it.

There will always be a couple things that were added in SWG that I totally dislike, and really unnessesary , and just have to live with it, since SOE wouldn't let us players have the option to use the old toolbar Icon system, which they could have, but didn't. Just goes to show how much SOE listens to its players.

They have proven that many times past , they put thier own ideas before they even listen to us.

In fact the system is much like EQ2, and like many other games. Its no long unique from other games as it once was, and that uniqueness is what drew myself, and many players to SWG, because it was a totally new game from all others, now SOE has changed it, and has lost that appeal to draw new players.

I seriously doubt the expansion helped much bring in new players. Most websites give SWG a low, or very low rating now.

The ratings and and over 60% of players had canceled thier accounts speak for itself of what people think of SWG2 (CU)

Thus, reason why its also known as SWG2

actually..this is stil SWG1.

what you were playing before was SWG:Beta.

Talking about SWG beta, LOL, this SWG2 is really worst then SWG1.

SWG2 is more like , or worst then the SWG when it was first released, and the combat system is definantly screwed up. Only thing that seems to work fairly well is the PvP part, other then that, the rest of the combat system is way out of wack.

You can see that from many post of problems with attacking mobs, from other players in these forums.
