remember how fun 20 toon groups were, atst s were uber, and how getting weapon pieces here and there to get uber weaspons made.
i remember when 4 20 toon groups used to clash in pvp, this game used to be major pvp. i have played the best online game of all time, it was swg pre cu, as a pre cu msaber menh heal 4004. ans a msord .mdoc. i used to love this game.
i really miss all the fun we all used to have.
now i really dont have 1 good thing to say about it since the cu ruined it.
the cu was a failure, and after 23 publishes, is only worse. heck, i think even the devs have given up at this point.
anybody here ever see the jedi devs names tho? they are a bunch of outsourced habibs, i doubt they have ever even seen a star wars movie.
meanwhile over at WOW, making new friends there, and playing bug free.

This is my last week in this borked game. I have waited long enough and paid enough. Great PvP died with the Combat Downgrade and I cant get into playing SIMs with Sabers.

im not sure what server you play on, but i have yet to run into someone without leg armor. Secondly if you action ever goes under 30% you're doin something wrong.

lol you use more moves now?
Leghit, bodyhit, headhit are all the same move on the same timer
Armor break
KD
only difference now is that the armor break is in place of the dizzy hit, both are/were pretty much a "prepare to be raped" signal.
now this is funnnnnny! Ok, Leg hit, body hit and head hit are similar moves in terms of damage but if you hit a person not wearing leg armor or boots ((forgot which one)) with leg hitit will take out a healthy chunk of their life and the same goes for body and head hit. Now that we got past that there is another thing that needed to be addressed but wasn't by this poster.
Timing! Yes with each move it has its own recovery timer. You may not be able to spam head hit ((Pre CU)) but you can alter between that, body hit and leg hit for a quick rush of power attacks and with armor break, its a powerful combo. Its better to have all three then just one.
Oh but if you do try to perform all that and your opponent surved then you are in deep trouble. Performing that many powerful attacks in a row and just continuining your push on offense depleates your action and you are left with nothing. Your opponent can KD you and force you to be grounded for 2-3 attacks while your action slowly recharges itself. And if they armor broke you before hand, well it can be a real devistating position to be in actually heheh.
However, battles last well beyond the beginning of the fight ((At least all mine do. If you die by these outcomes then you are just doing something wrong or a horrible PvPer)) so many more strats go on as the fight goes on. Keeping yourself alive, timing certain attacks, planning debuffs and such.
You can go ahead and hate the CU, but you cannot say that all that goes down in the battles are "Power attacks and kd/armor break". I'm asking you pre lovers to just stop being blind and wake up. You keep telling us posts that we needed to learn the pre system. Well maybe its you pres that need to learn the new post system...

it was just a statement so calm down one.
second, you don't know how many stupid PvPers/BHers are out there that do this, try spamming their most powerful moves just cause their weapon is uber. Unlike Pre CU, uberness isn't all you willneed to win bouts against good PvPersis all Im saying...

I hate how in the Pre-CU every Jedi used a damned double-bladed saber, and always did Dervish2. Those days WERE fun, though ...
I wasn't a fan of being force to use a double blade but the game was WAY more fun back then.

this isnt when swg was great...... all the jedi battles wasnt great, all the high ranked jedi who didnt deserve the rank wasnt great, when there was actually non jedi in pvp that was great, or no jedi at all. You now see less jedi in pvp now during CU. I dont think CU is better then pre CU, but there is less jedi in pvp now then before.
??? What??? I've never seen more jedi in PvP than there now are! Nothing like 25 person groups with 20 being jedi?!
I can't watch the video from here but will surely watch it when I get home!

I responded to this same thread in another forum... and this video is ALL wrong. SWG was great BEFORE the Holocrons and Jedi explosion. That was when it was fun... more PvP, more PvE... large complex battles requiring real strategy and talent. Now, and after the Jedi popped up in force... is/was one guy running into a pack of enemy, and laying them all down with a saber. Lame.
And no, I'm not a Jedi or Bounty Hunter... and no, I've never fought a Jedi. I don't like what they've done to this game (no offense to the Jedi... your attitude didn't ruin it... your mass population did).
You do mean before CM's would throw area mind poisons and kill everyone in 5 seconds to ?
Long before Jedi ruined PVP there was CM's(again)

Large complex battle come to one to one thing and thats who can gank which side the most. Not much has changed.
