Thread: Once upon a time in a galaxy far far away...
Once upon a time holo's came.
Jedi and the ability to become Jedi was still closely guarded which kept them rare. Never forget that it was SOE/LA that did this to the game as an obvious marketting ploy. They are responsible for the Jedi explosion and continue to promote it with the constant fixes to that profession while others get ignored.

Perhaps you are right friend, and perhaps LA is more responsible than SOE since they hold the rights. And if every player wanted to be a Jedi that would be one thing but there are how many proffesions? Not everyone wants to be a Jedi. Just it has become such a disappointment to play this game.
Well let me share a secret with you as well.....(hehe I to have been FS since they changed the requirements) but I prefer simply to roam with my pets and see it there is infact any place I haven't been yet.
I just wish my Jedi in games such as KOTOR were as all powerful as the Jedi here cause it seems a blaster shot to the head kills me just as quick as it would if my character wasn't a jedi.
But I agree with what you say and still if LA had any integrity to the fans who watched the OT growing up this game would be better. But it doesn't really matter to me anymore, I'll stick to offline LA games which will never change but also never get worse.
I just felt that I rewally needed to say something, I know that they don't care about one person, hell they don't even care about the whole smuggler community, but i felt as though I had a right to say I though the game sucked before i go spend my money somewhere else (and I promise SOE it won't be on any of their games)
Actually, this is the only SOE or LA game I will ever again own. This game will more than likely be the last MMOG I play since DDO is gonna have to really knock my socks off the play it.
Simply put, at this point I look at this game as an investment. It may have been a bad one, but I've already sunk enough money into it to stick around for at least a little while longer, but never again will I trust either of those companies to put out a product that I am willing to invest in ever again.
So far I have enjoyed the LA games I do own. And yes they do tend to focus on Jedi at least it isn't annoying. I really enjoy KOTOR and KOTOR2. And have a lot of the older games like dark outcast and Jedi academy which I enjoy playing from time to time. Which is why SWG is such a disappointment to me, LA can make good games. Ah well what does it matter. They don't care about anything but their paycheck.
Capt_Baobob has said maybe later he'll join COV and well I am his wife so maybe I'll tag along. Or I may go Auto Assault, we'll see, just we won't be coming back here. Any chance they will fix the smuggler profession is so infinitesimal and even if by some miracle they do, it will be to little to late
It isn't about the online or offline games really, it's about trust. Let me put it this way, you invest money in a business that says you're going to recieve a certain return on your money. If you don't see that return, why reward them by investing in them again with a different product or proposal.
At this point, I'm nearing my breaking point where it will be time for me to cut my losses and walk away. I feel that I've invested enough in time, money, and friendship to stick around a little while longer to see if I'll ever get the return on my investment, but never again will I trust either of those two companies to provide what they're saying I'm supposed to get.
