Thread: This new XP thingus
Message Edited by Linox on 08-19-2005 12:04 AM
This is just plain stupid. God I am so tired of sony at this point. Its about time to scrap this game completely and start SWG 2. And please for the love of God don't give it to sony. They continue to ruin this game by trying to make it more difficult to solo and now less fun to group.
What used to be fun was a group that went after the high level mob's and dungeons. Whats the point now? You have nerfed XP in groups to where we again Don't want to group because we hate the crapiness of getting 800 xp per kill (if that) and the lack of lvl 81 - 82 Mobs in the wild other then through missions.
Why can't they just see that they have made this game suck? I want my fun game back, at least before this new nerf grouping was kind of exciting.
They are trying to nerf those who comit to the grinding up the FS branches, which is stupid, you should be ashamed of how little like Star Wars this game feels like. I also feel as a Ranger you are trying to fade me out into nothingness,
Master Ranger was Elite, Master Ranger meant you have spent hour upon hour in a camp getting there!! It meant that people wanted to know you because you were often wealthy and money wasn't a problem.
I don't know what I will do now, I was slowly working up the xp to fill my fs branches but i still need 4.5 mill fs xp and under your current system that would take me about 2 years, by then this game will be way outdated and time for another.
I don't expect them to care or change this for the better, how can I? They continue to make this game frustratingly unplayable.
I have never been able to find people who want to do the Kashyyk quests etc, I can never find people who want to do the dungeons. Whats the point to a game where content for the advanced player is only accessible with a group? Thats retarded, its time we try a different strategy. I say those who go to the SWG Fan Fests Stop going and write a letter saying how they feel SWG is no longer fun anymore.
Only if they get hurt in the Wallet will they actually notice, I don't plan to renew at the end of my current billing period. Whats the point in playing a game that gives me no pleasure? I love the Star Wars Genre but Sony has totally failed to bring it even close to my expectations.
The CU is one thing, and I do think that alot of it shows promise, but not this xp nerf, and not the fs nerfs. And it very much sucks the slowness of killing creatures now. If I had to say what I hate the most, I hate that someone who pays $15 a mont for fun gets sand kicked in there face and sony calls it "fun". I think the CU has too many flaws, and grouping had become fun again until this more recent XP nerf which makes you want the smallest group possible that can kill quickly.
We will likely see 2 - 4 man groups and people will become more and more annoyed if ppl ask to join there group, by kindly telling them to go fudge themselves.
Sony you have Ruined a game that was, and could have been alot more fun. I will never as long as I live buy another game Made by you, as you are morons, I will also avoid any other products made by you, wether it be hardware, software, or anything with your name on it etc.
You have besmerched the name of Star Wars and I hope you earn the wrath of George Lucas, the Stock market, Star Wars Fans Everywhere, and especially God.
I hold the deepest enmity for your work on SWG, you have ruined the game, you focused way to much on balance and forgot its a freaking game and its supposed to be fun and challenging, not frustratingly boring and pointless.
Please stop trying to fix things and just scrap the game entirely, at least then it would be easier to declare this game dead.
Unless some Titanic Changes are made to this game I declare today "SWG Death Day" now and forever more.

I don't really have an opinion one way or the other on this xp change. I'll just sit back and let the jedi handle it-- I'm pretty sure I could hear the whining before I even turned on my computer this morning. I've got a feeling this situation won't last long before another xp change is pushed live.
I do have one minor gripe. I liked having my xp recorded in spatial. Other than that, I really don't care. I got too many other gripes about swg to worry about.

Group Experience Changes
Group experience calculations have just been reverted to pre-publish 22 on all servers. This did not require a downtime however some players may need to log out to see the changes take affect.
The new display for the group experience changes that was introduced in Publish 22 will be remaining as is. We will be looking into longer term fixes to address some community concerns about what the display shows.
The announcements section and launchpad will be updated with new information when it is available.
Thank you for your patience.

SOE is like the goverment. Takes something simple and complicates it, changes something that doesnt need changing and when something needs to be fixed they run with their tails between their legs and shove their head into the ground.
Well, yeah. Otherwise, all that time and energy might have gone into something useless, like fixing Ranger. Busywork FTW!

Yes, as linus posted only the display is staying, the actual XP gained was (supposed to have been, haven't tested) reverted.
