Dude just found it on my own it seems sweet but I dont want to get my hopes up though I am siked about the cybernetics

[Jerrel]

[Novall]

If you can wear armor over em then it'll be cool to me.

Yes its pretty sad, WHERES MY JABBA CASINO DAMN IT!.

[Hashum]

It all sounds pretty sweet to me, I'm looking forward to it. Of course when the combat upgrade hits all of my current weapons will probably equate to crap, but what the heck.

Man, i was so happy about this new thing, and then you bring that up!

Why?

Why?

Whyyyy?

Who has been lamenting the absence of a wookiee expansion?

What part of the game is made to rock "if only we had cybernetic limbs"?

If Episode 3 was not coming out would there even BE this expansion?

Jedi Starfighters? Continuity's already dead. Do they have to piss on it's grave too? What did continuity ever do to them? Why the vendetta?

Bio-Engineer, Pistoleer, Ranger, Smuggler, Squad Leader, etc....NOT ONE of these Professions could be fixed with the Dev energy used for this expansion??

As weird as it seems to me, I sometimes cram for reasons to come back to this game. But, in the coldest essence of reason, it's not about me coming back to the game...it's about the game coming to me. Maneuvers like this one just push the game even further away.

This Veteran Player has some valid points (edited for brevity):

This is a flat out marketting expansion that adds nothing to the game but the same crap that has been pushing SWG further and further away from an actual Star Wars feel just to appease the Episode 3 viewers....all the while, long standing veteran gamers who have been waiting for content have more stuff put on their plate.

People complain about SWG not feeling like Star Wars. You know why? Jedi breeding on servers like rabbits, Jedi Starfighters, and crap from the prequal trilogy piling up everywhere. And most of all, a criminal element. ...What would the Rebellion be without Han Solo? How expansive was Black Sun and the Hutt syndicates? These organizations and people strait out of the underworld molded the Galactic Civil War and advanced every single movie.

Get the frackin' game working. Get the professions working. Get the Galactic Civil War and Criminal Underworld going. Those are the power plants of Star Wars and Star Wars Galaxy. Dumping this expansion into the mix is doing nothing but piling more broken stuff into a stack of already broken items. All of which need to be fixed.

This would be funny if it wasn't so enraging.

I hole heartily agree

This is just a marketing sceam and we need to blame marketing for this not the DEV's (though I do love to rant about them). I've lost so much confidence in the game giving me anything real to hope for that I look at this and go "hey at least we can wander around a new planet." THAT is sad. Jedi starfighters, as long as they are super rare like Mando armor thats ok because we are at a point after they where created. Either that or they are so crappy, like you can only install lev 2 parts into it, that no one would really use it, opting for the better fighters out there.

Hey guys...calm down. Let's quench some angry flame fires. There was a SOE post by one of the devs saying, "Hey, we're going to release some info about the next expansion soon, but that's going to come at the same time as the Combat Rebalance. We want to assure everyone that the Combat Rebalance will be a free download for the service blah blah blah..."

The Combat Rebalance is going to affect everyone down to the crafters. And marketing is a big deal. Face it--you can't market Star Wars Galaxies Expansion Pack 2: Rise of the Professions That Needed A Lil' Somethin' Somethin'.

Because they all do. And they're working to fix them through the Combat Rebalance (which despite that deceptive name, WILL affect most crafting professions). And we have reassurances that we're going to get that. And I'd say we need to give the devs some credit--they're really pushing out a lot of fixes, a lot of new content here lately. They're working hard to regain our trust and keep people still playing the game.

And I'd say that they're starting off with some good progess. So give them a little credit...and hey. Calm down. Eat a cookie.

[Oroho]

I can only hope that there are some new creatures on that planet that I can tame...or a new mount..or something. Because the lims are starting to remind me of those machines that are used to assemble cars. I mean, C3PO's arms look better...

Hopefully, it goes over better than it's sounding. :makes a lil note not to rant right after waking up:
