General Discussion

Our new Star Wars Galaxies Correspondent writes this short article giving a few play tips for players who may have left the game and are planning a return.

"Even though you played SWG, you are not a vet of the game you just joined"

I always said that if I wrote a guide for returning 'vets', that would be my first sentence. If you can't get past that point, then frankly, you should not even attempt to play again. This is not the SWG you knew. Sure there are remnants of the past; your city may still be there, heck, maybe even your old house. You'll probably even find some old acquaintances traipsing around the star ports if you're lucky. However, what you used to know, what you used to own, where you used to group, and more importantly your reputation is irrelevant now.

SWG is in its fourth iteration: Pre-CU, CU, NGE, & Post-NGE. There are specific milestones between NGE and post-NGE, namely chapter 6 and game update 4 - Ch. 6 increased NPC difficulty to promote grouping and GU4 marked the final balance pass and update of all profession expertise systems. So for those of you, and I know who you are, who complain and gripe about how terrible the NGE was, realize that like Pre-CU, the NGE does not exist as you knew it.

Read Tips for Returning Vets

 What a bunch of lying hell that is.

 SOE is not allowing me to play the game for free. Just because of the forum nazi move on their part which had me game banned for 22 months ,I was allow to return to the game on my dime . I tried the game for two months and found it to be the abomination as declared by over 200k other players.

 I will not pay for another month of SWG-NGE post or whatever SOE wants to call it when other vets are getting the game for free.

 Word has it that the game is on life support anyway.  The game is unplayable and unwanted ...pull the plug and make way for the TOR.

 Get back to Work on DCUO , SOE Austin. But make it good. Your Company best not screw up that franchise.

( I am amazed the DC took leap of faith of partnering with SOE after the EPIC FAIL with the Star Wars Franchise - We await the results of this union with a well earned critical eye)

I've been trying it out since they offered this free month, but I'm having quite some problems.

I made all UI changes to make it more friendly, and started my lagacy quests to lvl my BM pet. I'm lvl 85 and tried the Azura first quest. Requires me to kill azura members and leads me to a small compound with lvl 91 NPCs. I can't pass them, nor kill them. Inside there is ppl afk, so none to party with. Am I lost?

So I went to Kill beetles on Mustafar. Destroyed a nest and got about 4 beetles on me. POU, incap. Get up, use heal, they re-aggro. POU, dead.

I feel like a noob, and that's not bad, but I don't see what I can solo there anymore. My gear sucks, I respec to medic since BH BM wasn't getting me far alive, but I didn't gain much so far. Not on qhat concerns quests that seem are solo, but are not soloable. And my server is quite dead, plus my prime time in europe and me beeing on a USA server (there wasn't european ones when the game launched) aren't helping.

Any advices here would be welcome.

Seriously,

To me it seems you are THE All Time SOE hater! So why even posting here?

Appearently you got so mentally insane on the SOE forums to deserve a whole 22 months ban!

I have placed some constructive critism with an emotional string attached on the SOE forums before and never have been warned nor banned for it. Ever!

So to receive a 22 month ban means you went out of line BIG time!

So no one really cares about what you appearently have to say. Wich is basically nothing, then the usual RANT at SOE like so many of you Pro SOE haters!

It's becoming old really. So old that you guys are becoming so sad, you might want to start thinking about looking for a shrink and get some serious help!

Cheers

Trust me when I say, as a fellow Kauri player, going back will simply make you sad. I tried it again over the free month this last summer, and while finding the same old bugs and crappy systems that were in place when the NGE launched, what I didn't find was any sign of life. I searched the entire galaxy for life at prime time and found 5 people total, 4 of them afk.

Trust me, the best tip for a returning SWG vet is dont.

I think you are the one out of line here, not him. Unlike you, he has a reason for his aggression towards SOE. Saying he needs to get a shrink for bashing an MMO company he doesn't like on a MMO forum? That is what I would expect.

So, he has a reason. What explains your aggression towards him?

  Thanks Dal.

    As far as me going out of line Big time is truly debatable to the point that I can say that the decision has unjustly applied. In case you don't know of the roleplaying gems that got me banned , please read my blog here or on MySpace.

 I have more right to take my position about SOE and SWG then you could ever have a postion against me for doing so as Dal has already explained.

I plan to be just as criticial of SOE as they were of me - all things being equal.

I'll stick with my resolution -- never giving SOE a dime.  Nor the population number support they'd get from me coming back for a month.  But enjoy!  Each to his own.
