Star Wars Galaxies SUPAR-REDO

[Human Shield]

Apparently Star Wars Gal is becoming a MMOFPS. I think they revamped the game a few times already and now they are remaking it again. Even heard that Jedi is a selectable starting class now.

I guess you guys can look into more, I never played it but like hearing about how the streets became filled with Jedi's. Making fun of the design flaws is the Codex way.

SWG was kinda cool in the early days, besides the sever stability. The Combat Upgrade royally fucked shit up and now it seems this will fuck it up even more. Way to turn a somewhat unique MMO into Everquest, guys.

Of course, Sony Online sucks beyond comprehension so it's no suprise they pulled this shit.

P.S. I was a dancer

SWG was fun back in the day. I was a smuggler, used to splice peoples stuff all around the galaxy. Was cool, meeting places would be cantaina's and stuff, I'd rock up with this grey overcoat and my pistol.

 

[CrusaderTemplar]

This really sucks. oh well. i own 2 accounts. a Combat and a crafter character. Test center was flooded with afkers and i couldnt get in. Which sucks! cause i wanted to see how the new system would be like.

-Master Squad Leader/Master Pistoleer
-Master Armorsmith/Master Merchant/Weaponsmith


Btw, LucasArts is pulling this shit. As of now, they are taking over and kicking SOE out.
And I will never pick Jedi Class Ever! It should be earned not given.

It should be earned not given.

Earned HOW is the question.

It should be earned not given.

Earned HOW is the question.

Based on hours played and luck, just like everything else in the game. So, the top 1,000 players are entered into a drawing once every month. The winner gets to have a jedi, and is excluded from further drawings.

 

[DarkSign]

The disparity between the % of people who want to play a Jedi and the % of Jedi that should be in a SW society for storyline reasons is the problem.

Put another way, if everyone is paying the same amount, is storyline/gameplay balance worth excluding people from playing Jedi for the sake of game integrity?

At first I thought it was unfair, but Ive come around. But my solution is to merely check every week the % of Jedi to the rest of the other classes and disallow more Jedi until the balance fits. If you want, you might go to another server where the balance is better.

Just my 2 bottlecaps.

 

[CrusaderTemplar]

That and the game going to consoles. oh boy. Servers.....Probably mostly rebels. Imperials must not faltered!But All classes except crafters are Balanced. Since crafters arent combat

 

[Chefe]

That shit is gay. Why does the player have to be a fucking Jedi in EVERY Star Wars game? Fuck that. Han Solo was the best character in those movies.

Having a bunch of stupid jedi running around with force powers. Damn, how stupid is that going to look.

 

[DarkSign]

Yeah that's why the story centers 90% of itself around smugglers...because they are the uberest...err wait. Jedi's get cool powers (like convincing girls to take off their clothes with the power of their mind), are part of an arcane, mystic order, and get one of the coolest weapons of all time.

Oh yeah. Solo owns.

 

[CrusaderTemplar]

oh btw. JEDI WILL NOT GET THEIR LIGHTSABERS UNTIL LEVEL 36 <--------LMAO ROFL. and im pretty sure most people who been playing will get our 9 respecs so we can be what ever we want for those respecs. :/

Jedi wouldn't do something like that because they are teh goodness.

The Sith don't do that either because, apparantley, they are teh gay. But like an evil gay, where they don't rape women, they wear makeup, and they blow shit up. I mean, if I had been directing the first Star Wars movie, Leia would have been torn apart by some Stormtroopers... mmmm...

 

[kingcomrade]

If you'd been directing the first Star Wars movie it would not only be a snuff porno, but would be much better than the mnid dump it is now.

The "good" jedi use their sykik powarzz to go into people's minds and rape their personality. I don't even remember Vader or anyone invading the sanctity of someone else's mind.

Chainswords(Warhammer40k) > lightsabers

Vader: "Leia, who's your daddy?"
Leia: "Oh! You are Lord Vader! You are!"
Vader: "Give it to your daddy!"
Leia: "Oh Daddy! I've been a naughty girl!"
Vader: "You've been kissing your brother again haven't you?"
Leia: "Oh yes Daddy! I've been a nasty incestuous bitch!"
Vader: "Yea bitch! And now you're going to get punished by us both!"

Luke: "Someone called for a Jedi Mind Fuck?"

Is it wrong that I masturbated while reading that?

 

[Chefe]

Yes. You won't have any juices left for the rest of the script...

SWG was cute little game Pre-CU (combat upgrade).
It was terribly unbalanced and you could pretty much solo (pun?) much of the content in the game. Aside from from it's obvious faults it had a great social atmosphere and an emote system that still puts all others to shame.

People were happy with how it worked and only thing they wanted was a nerf on the bioengineer/rifleman combo which was a bit too overpowered compared with other builds.
But they had to screw it up by doing the CU. or "WoWification". Icons were changed, cooldown added to moves and odd particle effects that showed pretty much every action in the game, including an effect for mounting a vechicle.
Aside from adding a lot of root and slow effects to ranged combat the game suddenly became balanced to become a heavily group based game. I couldn't hunt alone on planets where I previously could harvest hide and meat without any problems.

The new gamestyle pissed of people to no end and the guild I was in was decimated in a week. Me and a pal tried to adapt but suddenly having to LFG and group with others introduced LFG downtime. We could experiance the old game by hunting nerfs, but how fun is that?

This new upgrade of the game engine might be the best thing since sliced bread, but I have a healthy amount of sceptisism there.

Beyond being either a very slow reader, or a horrible fuck - no.

Well it took multiple readings
