Thread: Fear & Loathing The Community-SOE Relationship, or My Cancellation Quandry
Outstanding post ...wish i could slide it on top of raphs desk =\\\
I've become a board lurker =(...instead of actually playing ..searching for a glimmer of hope and seeing none ..cept waffling...
I log onto the game and just cant get into the mood to play like i did prior to the "bend over dear nerf" i was looking forward to completeing my character then working faction and pvp ...I"m a novice now but a tka master ...i'll try hanging on abit longer see what happens ..
One of the best "i'm not taking this crap from game posts" was from a necro in eq he posted a picture of his smash eq cd no caption or anything ...said it all..i'm getting to that point..

Ok how bout this?
What if they made knockdown cost proportional to the rating of the creature? It would take alot more effort to knock down a red creature as compared to a blue or white?
That was KD would be usefull, but people would not solo reds?
Elloquent, creative, with a dash of writing flare. Should be pinned to the top of the boards. My agreeing or disagreeing is totally irrelevant - this is everything I asked for. A thoughtful, witty, pithy, honest, respectful opinion given of the state of the game, which I have no doubt represents the feelings of many.

you did an earlier excellent post also richie...was thinking about realocating my points to ch and creating a herd of space bunnies =D /sigh
Hey Faitt, i remember the good old days on EQ. But you know they still kept people playing their game, a good game at that. The devs of this game should take a look at how they work and add content. And i dont know about everyone else but having the best weapon i can possibly own within 2 weeks of playing ruined it for me. I would go play EQ but that would be a waste. Good thing Blizzard is releasing an MMORPG, they dont fail often, (crosses fingers)
Great post.
I go through the motions of playing this game in hope that it will improve but the Devs responses appear to be firm and very unyielding. I read the other boards and it seems to me that TKA are being heavily nerfed when compared to other classes. The Devs response to this is don't compare yourselves to other classes as we know they are over powered. What are we to think?
Dev history towards TKA has not been good. Based on that past history I for one have lost faith in their future fixes.
Jetti,
The Force has become three sided. The Light side. The Dark side. The Dev Side. It's not fun anymore.
Sseese...
Very well done. To be honest the KD has not affected me because of my current skill level, yet the game itself has something missing.
You ahve touch on everything that is relevant to the issues surrounding SWG, not just a specific rant.
Thanks,
Munkie!
I agree 100%, but I was stupid enough to purchase a six-month subscription. It doesn't matter how good your post is, because the Devs likely won't read it, and if they do they will dismiss it as the rantings of a flameboi.
Almost all Teras Kasi feel like poster. If the Devs must understand anything, they must understand that.
When I started playing I really enjoyed it. The ease of the game was fun, the new skills and getting new skills all the time. Making stimpacks was the funnest experience. I didn't like everquest, it was too Item reliant and too slow of action with too much timesinks. I hate having to find items, much more hate being reliant on them or doing corpse runs.
But now they are just killing the fun of it. I can't believe Devs think they know what we want better then we do. Good thing blizzard tends to listen to their fans and give them exactly what they want. Hopefully Devs will change their attitude, because their current one isn't going to make me reactivate my account.
I think the reason why I still enjoy the game, is becase this game really offers a lot to a socializer, a person that plays gamme for community, for the livability content (min/maxers have a different definition of content and therefore complain that there is no "content" in SWG, while on the social side of the game, there are more content options that any game out there - food and drink, all kinds of awesome clothing, many different kinds of domestic and social professions, dancing, musicians, character customization, games, upcoming player cities, etc. etc. etc.)
For a person like me, the casual combat person - a person who could have been to teras kasi master weeks ago but was busy doing other things like becoming a novice dancer for a few weeks for fun, then changing and becoming a muscian, then experimenting with rife, then working in the artisan line. I've kept going up the teras kasi line at a comfortable but slow pace. And in the meantime I'm in a good PA I'm about to by a home, I manage harvesters and resources to craft medicines and I'm thinking about trying to do that for a profit, I love to hang out in the cities as much as I love to hunt, I love all the player shops and towns, and I really enjoy exporing the country side because the "prettiness" of the game still hasn't yet worn off for me, though I'm sure that particular thing will eventually.
So I hear min/maxer types talk about cancelling and I think to myself, "yes. From their perspective, from that point of view, in terms of the things they would want to make the game fun for this, this is probably a disappointment." But I am not a mix/maxer, and this game provides more options for a person like ME than any other game out there. No other game has all the things I mentioned in my above paragraph. That's what matters to me. That's what matters to a lot of people frankly, its just that most of them don't take Teras Kasi as I did. I'd say this profession caters to the d00d crowd more than anything else, which is reflected on the forums, reflect in the general attitude towards the game, and reflected everywhere else.
