Jedi Archive

you would think a petition where 100k or so players said no cu would have made them change their mind.

In a hot minute.

I'd love to comment, but doing so would only tease me into believing that it could somehow happen. I hate the level based system vs. the former skill based system. The former system in all of it's flaws, had a more natural feel to it. Now it's just simple math and the outcome is already determined. Damage is always the same based on attack. No randomness in damage. No "once in a while really good hit" that could tip the balance. the CU is stale and unimaginative. It's getting worse not better. veteran players are leaving or have left. Oh well...every MMORPG has a shelf life. It appears that SOE has grown long in the tooth. This alone is why they are trying desperately to add expansion content vs. fixes. If they can string some of the players on for another 6 months, it's a marketing win.

It has been said before and can been seen in the type of content/expansions that have been added. Namely RoTW and now the ToOW. Kashyyyk and Mustafar have ZERO to do with our current timeline. In our timeline, Kash is an Imperial Controlled slaveworld. There wouldn't/couldn't be any wookies running around. Mustafar?? WTH? it has NEVER been mentioned prior to RoTS but this "content" somehow supercedes what SHOULD be relevent to our timeline, like Hoth, Capital Ships, Bespin...Coruscant for God's sake? SOE and SWG are continuing to try to capitalize on the success of RoTS despite GLARING timeline/continuity errors it presents. Why? Because those of us that are old enough to have actually seen the original trilogy are NOT the target market. It's the younger generation who only know the original Star Wars characters from DVDs that their parents bought.

Not to slam the younger group, I don't. But SOE puts out a product designed and set in OUR generation's "Star Wars" then twists it to somehow try to "fit in" with the more current themes. They should have released two seperate games with two seperate timelines. If they did, I'd put money that the Han Solo, Luke Skywalker Star wars would be a far better game to play than the Clone Wars, Anakin, Padme game would be. I won't go into why, but I will say we have alot less "leetspeak, pwn'd joo n00b" crap going on.

Oh well, a large tangent here, sorry and I never answered the question...or did I? You decide.

Id love it, cause then Id just drop Jedi andgo back to my Def. Stacker Template, and go beat up on Jedi all over the place just like the good ole times. Not too many jedi could do very much damage to some one who they could not hit, or if they could hit, they were Intimidated, to death.

Good ole Intimidate, Stun, Blind,Dizzy, KD, Mind Spam, Warcry, Mind Spam. lol

/cry i miss that.

Atleast pre cu effort ment something, now its like

You hit for 653

you hit for 653

you miss

Atleast pre cu you could land the good hits, dodge, counterattack, block, knowing your opponent mattered, states mattered and so on.

I'd still own.

dam, pre-curb with new eaps, thatd be the schlitz dude.. .that would rox my sox... tk/BH? try my TK/jedi!

tk since pre-CU, i cant give it up man, i love it, even more so now that i can wear watever cool clothing i want!

Would go to a pre-CU server in a heart beat, aswell would a ton of ppl start their accounts again.

Starting from scratch with a ton of other players preCU would be simply awsome fun.

What they should have done was adding new stuff to the old game, not the pice of arse that we playing on now.

I would love to go back to Pre-CU. Those encounters with BH/TKMs were some of the most fun fights I've had in this game.
