My problem with this is 2 fold...

Give the gaming people what they want.. LUCAS wanted Jedi to be in the game as a class.. Koster didnt. Its very crappy we cant be jedi.

2. .. if thats such a problem they should have placed the game in a different time frame. Like KOTOR time..

SWG is an excellent game.. the first few days you play it.

There is just really nothing there to do... except of course Kill.. but SWG even fecked that up by taking out the loot factor. There is no loot. There is no reason to kill anything except to gain experience.

I played for 6 months.. mostly because my MMORPG friends kept playing. We all kinda drifed away.. me being the last to leave.

I might check it out again when the space expansion comes out.. but still right now.. I dont know who they managed to make SWG boring.

Lack of loot and content is a death blow to this game. Shifting resources, while initianly neat and challenging, became a MASSIVE headache. No Jedi (yes I know..but like it or not thats whats Star Wars is about), no conflicts, imbalance issues, still stability issues..

I understand why this got coaster of the year in CGW.

It amazed me how, a few weeks ago, how many people thought this game was going to be like NWN. Everyone was downloading that alpha just raring to play it.. of course finding out later its nothing like NWN.

Now.. even though the beta signups are up for a week.. and Blizzard has made it clear that its not first come first serve.. people flock to the servers.. and crash it and lock it up.

Ever read the battle.net forums?

Ever play somone on Battle.net..

I weep for the future of this game. Blizzard better have a HEAVY banning hand on this game or its going to be a disaster.

MMORPGs are ALL about the community.. a few 100 griefers can ruin the game for 1000's..

....but still dissapointing..

The history of PC gaming is a road paved with articles like this.

I have been heraing the demise of PC games since the 1980's.

Somehow.. It keeps going on.

It would be simpler for them just to do a "Jedi Server"

.. but Im not sure why.. everyone is blabbing about it


"Is the NDA Up?
Yes, for a couple more days. We need to change the legal EULA in the Launchpad and we want to get one more big stability patch in."

....on a 5 year old computer. Those screenshots are HORRIBLE.

It looks worse than FS2002

I love the misspells.

nope.. I expected this..

Mark my words here.. WOW will be a 2005 title.

I have never been comfortable playing these kind of games with a control pad.. as a result I gave up on the PSX2 version. Next month is going to be a good gaming month!

Been waiting on this for a while..

Cant wait to get it..

BUT!

Has anyone else noticed the trend of a game going gold now.. and then we have to wait 4 weeks for it?

It didnt used to be this long..
