i dont totally disagree, and i know what u mean by doc-buffed tanks, but groups certainly weren't nonexistent. People didn't solo dwb or vette, just those stupid janta missions that we all used for credits

And as far as GCW, i just want battles that are fast-paced and exciting rather than 8 completely dominating jedi on each side fighting each other and everyone else staying out of the fight or shooted from the background

cu is just so slow...i loved spamming strong attacks (for me stopping shot, torso shot, or eye shot) repeatedly and whittling down my opponent's health bar

i miss you pre-cu...

I disagree to the solo thing to a certain point of view, in PvE and mission for money was very heavily solo but when it came to PvP you could not PvP alone due to group TEF, there were extremely large scale PvP at times and they were fantastic and I fear those large scale PvP will never happen again even in the CURB.

Clicky of a video.

SOE slamed us into the CURB realy hard and messed up our car. The real SWG had very smalling thing that may have need to be fixed. NOTHING like this piece we call SWG today.

Where's the incentive forlarge scalePvP? Everyone's FS grinding, Jedi grinding, farming something, etc. This game has too much grinding. Plus, there's no good reason to PvP other than for bragging rights, "PWN this", or "you got PWNED"(I hate "PWNED"). The attitude of PvPers doesn't outweigh the benefits. Not saying all PvPers are like this, but we all have the known PvP big mouths onour serversand it's not worth dealing with.


In addition to this, what I never see is advertisement to include non-Jedi's which is the bulk of our clientele. Because of the Jedi's on my server, everyone automatically thinks it's only Jedi that PvP because that's the only thing they see in static cities such as Theed. Maybe we should try weekly battles by advertising in all the popular places. I'm on every night and haven't seen this kind of stuff. You want people, ask for them. Throw bots down in MOP that say "come one, come all. Prof doesn't matter. Rebels meet here, IMPs meet here. You'll get instructions from there." Then have someone organize the arrivals in groups of 8, but have a PvP leader that can give them PvP 101. Remember, the majority of players don't come to the forums, so trying to organize from here is futile. Also, have non-Jedi PvP battles. People are either afraid or hate Jedi, so set up those times as well and advertise "Jedi not welcome!" I think it would be interesting to see what would happen if we actually advertise. Bare minimum, you'd have people come by to check it out.


Just a thought....

hell, i'd pay an extra 5 bucks a month or so if it cost that to be on a pre-cu server, i'd want absolutely nothing more than that right about now...

R.I.P Pre-cu, we miss you...

You should have seen it pre- 9 ... man we were pretty nasty really.

I miss those days as hard as they were... sure we complained but nothing like this and it was 20 times harder then this could ever be. It's funny we got as far as we did without and coaching or guidance.

I too miss those days of respect and honor held alot more water then they do now. I dont know exactly what happend it just kept getting worse over time... I do wish some of you that show care and real intrest in the class that you would have seen that and been part of it. You would have really apriciated the class then even with all its real bugs... not just no "premium pearls".... we had some very very bad ones... then though.

pre-9 was incredible. Just incredible. Jedi was tough to grind, but godly at 4444 guardian... I was reading through the old skill tree (link in sig) and I realized just how much better it was. While I only unlocked in may in the old system, I fought quite a few guardians on my main (and beat most of em too, but that was because I was a better PvPer overall, not from lack of power... if anything, they gave me far harder fights than they should have), and they were definitely better than anything we have now, in addition to having a far harder grind.

I miss being able to go out on Dathomir, kick a rancor in the hindside then high tale it to a nearby Singing mountain sister who as seeing I had 5000 faction in her clan would go tank for me while I helped attack the rancor. It was great! Or being able to adjust my stats so i could put on a composite helmet and dress up in a robe and go out fighting. Even had fun getting a 2nd account whom I trained in Doc and Musician to support my main. We'd both go out on missions where she'd rez my sorry self, but it was ll good.


I also miss the witches of Dathomir using Force attacks. Now they just sit around on their bums, maybe pulling out a weapon or such but still just blah and no help when fighting creatures. So much for immersion after the CU. Was just going through my game photo album and it saddens me all that I have lost.





How can you say you've lived life if you've never danced?
Well I do remember Han having a one piece suit made out of carbonite but it weighed a ton. Still it didnt require any ironing and was very wear resistant.
Thanks SOE! The CU and NGE gave me my life back. Thanks! Bitterness is the taste of love lost, a tear of acid that burns the heart.
Long gone, in sorrow of song. Stand I make to deliver hope with twisted temporal past, for the ripples in time distort what affects when. Prowlies a must see Clicky!
As a dreamer I sing to the sea and imagine the possibilities and potential this game could free, but when I get home a sad sight there be. A lost fool, for once was is gone, what could've been to never be, and the angel of my heart to be forgotten, locked away by the key of SOE.
