My mate got into the beta... it has more running around over long boring distances than LOTR 2 (if thats possible?)

we've both been big mmo players, WWII Online, UO, etc.

Everquest and This are possibly the worst and most boring games i have ever played.

see im not the type that plays "rpgs" online.. to me you cant have a true rpg or MMORPG.. most peps dont rpg.. they just attain high lvls and snub others or help all they find.. the whole point of a rpg is roleplaying.. it is just hack and slash..

games like delta force are fun but then again just hack and slash..

a non linier game would be nice.. although again EQ and such could be this but.. its never ending.. the same quests are usable over and over till you move up to something more challenging

weee, finally got my new computer and got too involved in SWG to come back lol... then my power cord blew...

anyway, my report is... Buggy yes, but that doesnt take away from the game, cause they are constantly fixing bugs.

Laggy... HELL YES, even on broadband (10mbs) and with my UBER system (PM me if you want to know ;) ) it lags still if shit gets busy...

other than that, FUN, cant wait for stories to kick in (allready had a couple but since my laptop cord blew i couldnt take part... sigh) and mounts/cars/space things will rock the house!!!

hope you all play! DO IT NOW!

Bought this game when it came out, it seems like they did NOTHING with the high end game, you can kill the same stuff all the way up your lvls, and one high end class is completely NOT WORKING. They need to add more high end content bad, there really is nothing to do unless you are a bounty hunter then you can kill anything. This post is all over the place but i'm very disapointed with this game, I heard that George Lucas made SOE release it even though they said it wasn't ready. And with the daily patches have the stuff they dont even tell you they are doing, it's all crappy.

well they just came out with an UBER patch, and now stuff has gotten alot better.... check it out if you want too, and dont if you... well... dont...

I play Ogre. Running an Imperial PA on Lowca. What server you on?

Time will tell
 

I Guess in a few months (or years) SWG will be a great experience but right it can not stand up the hype.

I play EQ since 3 Years and i love the static content that is there, i cant start to play SWG until they patch in some static dungeons :) ... i dont like the idea to run through some place and everytime bandid camps are somewhere else, it does not feel right to me

Haha what's funny is people in EQ who bitch about static content,and say they should change it every few months.


But I guess the grass IS greener on the other side.

I just cancelled my account. I'm now awaiting World of Warcraft, because Blizzard knows to release a game when it's fucking done.

I recently bought SWG. I personally havn't noticed any MAJOR bugs. Any game,even more so any game that is as large and imersive as an mmorpg will have bugs. Deal with it. As for Blizzard, well maybe but as I recall Warcraft 3 had (and still has) bugs. But I will probably switch to that when it comes out, if only because I am a die hard warcraft fan. Been one since I played the shareware of the first one. Any SWG players out there PM me.

What mmorpg isn't a chatroom with graphics?

Anyone play Star Wars: Galaxies?
 

I just got SWG a couple weeks ago, and for a while, I thought it was great. I was wondering what some other people's opinions on it were. I'd prefer opinions from people who actually play the game, please.


Lately, it seems like all I do is feed my harvesters power & money... craft stuff (I'm an architect)... and do missions to get money --- which then goes to feeding my harvesters... is an endless and boring cycle

So anyway, I'm thinking I might switch professions, because being an architect isn't very fun. Are the combat classes cool? One of my friends is working towards commando. It looks interesting. Would a Mon Cal even be able to be a good fighter?

You could make a really good Combat Medic, They get good AOE dots and can heal so they are good in groups, then while you do that you can work on getting something like pistoleer or carbineer, Pretty much any race can be decent at any profession. Medic stuff goes off of mind, thats why Mon Calamari would make really good Doctor/Combat Medics.

i have the disks sitting right here on my desk. when they decide to patch in the fun i will return.

I think there's already a thread on this topic but anyway... a friend of mine got the Jedi rank for free, he plays in cheat mode and is only allowed online for 30 minutes a day. He, Sony and Lucas are hooked up.

My account ends on 10/9

I played for two months. The game just lacks content. Plus all the exploits of the last month have left the economy in a pathetic state for anything who didn't exploit.

I strongly advise against anyone playing a game developed under SOE. I've detailed why, in the Planetside thread.

i played beta for a while and i really didnt like it

too bad you think this, they have done some incredible stuff with Everquest.

Well, I hit master weaponsmith, got 3 boxes in Carboneer, and master marksmen. I had to sell the account.

I mean this game is boring.....

I wanted it to be good. Just isn't enough to keep me interested.

The game doesn't suck, its just not that good right now. It may be ok when the SE comes out, but until then I would not waste your money beta testing er I mean "playing" this game.

I betaed this game for several months. The only redeeming factor in SWG is the Dev team. They have a commitment to the community that i havent seen better anywhere...and i have seen a few.

One of the bad things about the game is the fact that it was released several months to early to make Sonys ½year result look better.

Even though the game has some of the most experienced MMORPG design teams of all time, they managed to make a lot of mistakes. There is an underlying balance to everything in the game that makes for a somewhat boring experience.

The whole Single Character Server issue is also very bad. As is the ridiculous implementation of Jedi rarity. The game was also touted as a skillbased game, instead of level based as EQ and DAOC. In reality it IS levelbased, though masked a bit to look skillbased..

To me it is simply an undertested, severely flawed game that looses its attraction very very quickly... it is a shame, because it had a lot of potential.
