I just downloaded the 10 day trial. im guessing its just like any other mmo? what Can some of you give spade some money? I mean.. help me around? show me the ropes:p
-
It should be easy to play, now that everyone has left and gone to Worlds of Warcraft. Lucky guy, you'll have the whole server to yourself!
-
I heard they shifted it to be more of a 1st person shooter? And Jedi is now a starting profession?
I admit I haven't looked at anything to do with that game since the infamous Jedi-revamp of June '04... where they totally screwed Jedi into the ground.

Your download speed dont mean squat if their server is overloaded or you have a bad route to it.

its been a fun game for me to play, tho less and less so as it has devolved since Combat Upgrade, but I am finished with it after the NGE.
Have fun.

I was in the beta for about 4months before it was released. Not alot of content at first, but lots of potential.
At first you had to work your arse off to get Jedi. It was grinding through proffessions until you had mastered the 5 proffessions that were randomly selected when you made your character. Then they changed it to a quest based system, once everyone had started just grinding proffessions instead of actually playing. I'd already unlocked my Jedi slot before they changed this. So... it used to be really hard to get Jedi in SWG.
Also heard they are porting SWG to the Xbox 360 and PS3, tryin to sucker in the console crowd and milk a few more bucks off the Star Wars license.

Porting SWG to consoles has been a rumor that's been debunked multiple times.

thanks ack ack

I just saw a commercial on the cable sci-fi channel for SWG total experience. The game will not die, it has just morphed into a extremely shallow version of its former self. For the reason states that SOE simply could not manage the enormous size and complexity of the code. They evolved themselves into extinction with the NGE. Noobs will come and play the shallow game and think its neat, all the folks that spent the past 2+ years playing the game will move on, or die :noid
-
Well having never played it I think I might download the game and go from a newbie perspective. Hopefully it won't engage too much of my life and cause me to spend more hard earned cash on it. :O
-
I bet even money it goes console now. I am almost certain thats why they changed the gameplay so dramatically. Consoles is where the money is at. Sucks for us PC types.

It wouldnt be so bad if they didnt have to dumb down everything cause so as not to confound the average retard with his xbox

Well, they halted development of SWG for the Xbox, and I haven't been able to find any reference to them releasing it for the 360. Anyone have a cite for that?

This is the way Sony does things now. They release a product (SWG, EQ, EQ2) and have one goal that is only obtainable through a timesink that requires lots of grinding. Then after a period of time (6-12 months) they numb down the skill level required to get the uber-item/uber-skill to keep the casual player from quiting and keep the new players rolling in.

Yeah, and he offered to give you some cash and gear in the post directly above the one this quote appeared in.

Hey Ack-Ack you got any spare credits available for little old me. I haven't created my character yet but have been reading through all the install docs first. I should go online for the first time tonight on there.

NGE stands for New Game Experience.
Its basically an overhaul of the game where almost 40 professions are reduced to 9, Jedi is now a entry level profession, and a new combat style( first person shooter style) replaces the old target and action, special action combat.
NGE took a really complex amd immersive game, a genuine virtual, world and dweebs it down to a barely enjoyable playing experience for those of us who knew and loved the old game.
Such is life....

the nge was the last straw for me, played since betta and im done! Majority of my guild is leaving to. SOE truly screwed the pooch on this one.
Actually it makes me appreciate AH all the more for what it is. The Devs here listen, pay attention and care about their subscribers. Sony cares about the almightly dollar and little else and it shows.

The thing I am hating right now is the flippin update that I am now having to install and download just to get online and play after spending nearly 3 hours last night downloading the trial software. It seems like they are just wanting to update for the heck of it right now. As Odi said this experience so far makes me appreciate HTC alot more than my initial feelings for SWG. Good thing I had some work I could do while waiting on the 1 hour 58 minute download of the update to the trial software just to create a character.

Just got the game started. I fell asleep waiting on it last night. Now I am about to do character creation before going to work.
