It seems that the core of the game is being changed from skillsets to twitch gaming, fair point....I'm a CS player as well as a SWG player so I get how twitch gaming works

I'm seriously concerned at the concept of having twitch gaming being played by thousands of people on a set of servers which are notoriously laggy; it's gonna be hell to play at peak times. Cross continent players (eg US players on Euro servers) will be put at a severe disadvantage. We will all be buying new PC equipment in order to not be put at a disadvantage by having low graphics settings.

If they wanted to make a MMO version of Battlefront, couldn't they have done it seperately, and left SWG alone??

And from this post http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=nge_discussion&message.id=63it seems that only CL 80 Jedi will get any compensation? What about Jedi who aren't CL80 or tinker with a lot of skills that used 250SP but not CL 80. Are all of us thrown to the dogs and basically made the same a someone who respecs into Jedi as a CL 80? Please please please tell us that SoE isn't doing this.

Hello all. As most of you know, I have been in Austin the last day and a half. We have been testing out new changes to Star Wars Galaxies. While most people will be afraid and uneasy about the changes, I want to let you know about what is going on, and how things are going.

First, let me start by saying that combat has become more fun and is a better change for the game. No longer will it be all about mashing specials and the best weapon. This is a new system and is not a rehash of the old or current system. With that im mind, please keep an open mind.

Now coming will be a drastic change in skills. There will be 9 classes as follows:

Smuggler, Bounty Hunter, Commando, Medic, Force Sensitive, Officer (think SL), Tradesman, Entertainer, Spy. Poli and Pilot will remain unchanged.

Most experience can no be either quest based or grinding. With skills will come abilities as well as rewards. Crafters will have 4 sub crafters. I will not get into the large scale of the changes. As there are others that are also having things to say about it.

Basic points, entertainers and crafters will no longer draw agro unless they pick a fight. There are drastic changes to the way that specials work. I will be writing up basic 0.1 guides when I get back home tonight. Those will be in more detail.

As for TC itself, please hear me before you go nuts on this.

TC will be put in stasis for a week or two to start out. These are drastic changes that need to be worked and tested from level 1. After that, TC will be brought up to test mid to high level as well as /respec. The detalis on this will be each person gets 10 respecs on which the 10th will be permanant. You cannot change your skills anymore, what you start is, is what you are. No surrendering and re-grinding.

AND ALSO THERE WILL BE NO BLUE FROGS SO DON'T EVEN THINK OF ASKING!!!!!!!!!!!

I know TC does not want another mothball. I did all I could, but the fact remains that we need low newbie testing. I did manage to get you all notice. Please use it to the fullest.

I will leave the rest of the details to other people who were here as well.

Ok everyone here it goes:

As you are all aware of by now,we are about to go through some major changes over the next few months.

The above quotation seems to be 100% true.

I for one was NEVER told about any such changes in any way sharpe or form. I dont know one thing more than any of you all do.

I will be posting much more as I find it out for myself. I appologise for the chaos but as you can see we have all been left out of the loop on this one.

This is now our number one concern. How will we be effected by these upcomming changes?

What i am upset aboutis the timing of these changes. If you remember back when CU came out they mad a big deal about the fact that they had been planning and working on the changes for some ungodly amount of time. Now, assuming that they were being honest then, and i have no reason to believe otherwise, as the changes were on a HUGE scale, i would assume that they have been working on these changes for a long period of time. It bothers me that they have been working on these changes and conveniently failed to mention them until the day after the release of another expansion. This is a cheap tactic to get us all to spend money on the expansion and then say "oh, by the way, now that we have the nice influx of cash, we are gonna re-do the whole game in yet another effort to bring back old players that quit after CU so we get even more cash."

I've said it elsewhere, but thissmells likethe first step for game console integration. We'll all now be play testers for thePS3 version.

I've been playing sincelaunch and have been slowly grinding toward Jedi from the moment I heard about the hologrind. I dumped master smuggler/master creature handler, which was fun, to do my first holo profession -- merchant! Then I had to grind squad leader (solo with no friends-begging random groups to please let me be the leader) and Combat Medic (again solowith no friends) I could never havebeen a power player. I work, I have kids, I have family commitments everyday, so only got to play afew hours a week andalways solo. I got my silent holocron but couldn't unlock before the revamp. I now have 5 and 3/4 FS lines and this is announced! I feel gutted. It's not enough that the rules kept changing, not to mention FSexchange rates, but to take my loftiest, greatest in-game goal and dream and turn it into a starting professions is the ultimate betrayal.

I havefiveactive accounts, for mykids and I, and have bought every upgrade and expansion. I won'tthreaten here that I'm going to quite or cancel or what not, but I feel so... cheated, so... lied to that I... hell this is too hard to write.Thanks SOE for 2 1/2 great years. Thanks for nothing.

I'll make padawan before the change, but then what? Instead of being a vet that's been through the wringer, I'll be running around with 9 year olds playing Jedi? Mrs. Kenobi, Can Obi come out and play?
