I havent been on test center as yet. But I will be checking things out today I hope. There is much about whats taking place that truly shocked me. The communication, the expansion release followed by the NGE ( would have caused me to delay the purchase, had I known of the NGE), the gutting of professions, the cookie cutter nature of the new professions ect.
But I sat back and asked myself, what is it that I truly like about SWG and the game in general? What did I dislike the most? And how is this latest revamp going to affect points one and two?
What I enjoy the most is hanging with the friends ive made in the guild. Thats number one. And in general, playing my Jedi toon and PVE in particular.
The thing I have disliked the most is forced PVP! Yeah spare me the "If you didnt want to PVP then you should not have gone Jedi" arguement. Its the most common refrain the BH community spits back at Jedi.
Im a really decent Duelist. Mentally im prepared, foods, moves and an understanding of whom im about to take on. As a Jedi I rarely lose in a duel.
Now when a BH attacks thats another story as I dont always have my foods and spices at the ready, or i get totally taken by surprise and before I can react and fight back the tide has turned against me. Last night I had only my second bh attack since pub 24. I won the first one and lost last night. Man that droid's constant damage really added up, not to mention the easy repair the bh had. But it really didnt matter as im still on the positive side and even if i were negative. The negative points wont carry over.
So after I logged last night it hit me. So what if the NGE changes the combat again! So what ifmy Jedi is no better then anyone elses toon? Why should I care? Now with out the interference of BH's I can freely hang with my buds, and do what ever the heck I want with out having to look over my shoulder. I can finally relax and use my Jedi toon for pure fun. No pressure at all. No exp loss.
Despite the dumbing down of SWG for the masses, I might actually be able to relax and enjoy the game and stop and smell the Alderan Flora!

Im not sure what being a "carebear" means. But if it means enjoying the company of friends and not playing a game to prove to others how uber you are, then perhaps I am a carebear by that definition.
In any event, im not spending all my time nashing my teeth over a game. Im an adult and i do my best to keep things in their proper perspective.
