You are not alone in feeling disenchanted. The CU hit many of us like a slap in the face and some have never recovered.Sepiv wrote:I'll be darkly honest...I've been gone what is it, 6-7 months? Other than being curious about the new vehicles and creatures that appear, maybe also curious how the cybernetics work, I really feel that SOE has taken the wrong path with SWG and made it worse.
I hear there are something like 600 Jedi on Gorath alone, with another 100+ in the pipeline because of decisions made. The entire concept of a measured few jedi in the Empire is dead and gone. The world feels nothing like it's supposed to now. I can see ignoring a couple battling jedi as it was in Feb or playing it as the rarity it was. Now they are common. And they are designed to be completely superior to any other character.
SOE honestly must have changed designers and these new ones must think that everyone playing SWG doesn't care about world content -- they only want to become a jedi. Everyone just wants to become a jedi.
The new combat and stat reduction. I just can't say the change will grow on me. It's as if everyone just became less 3D. We are just HAM now.
I'm griping, sorry. I don't want to gripe. I just looked at things more last night and talked to friends who were on at the time. Nobody likes change. This just feels like poorly thought out change.
:x Ranting Jinx :x
The CU basically widened the gap between full-combat templates and partial combat templates. In essence, it took any hopes of me having fun in PvP and PvE and and threw them out the window.
Jedi are even further seperated as the clear Alpha class, and now they are the ones getting the new content.
I am still trying to give the CU a chance.. the problem is that there are few scalable challenges. Something is either too easy, or too hard. I have yet to find a combat experience where my decisions really had a significant impact on the battle. Just being along for the ride does not cut it for me. I am still looking for me first "great PvE fight" post-CU.
). Yeah I had fun solo'ing enraged rancor lairs for $$ and timing how many seconds I could whipe out the lair in, on top of 20 spawns and didnt take me many minuttes. There was no danger anywhere in the game because my character, even unbuffed could kick the crap out of any mob anywhere. TODAY, oh boy I've taken a lot of deaths that were painful to my pride hehee from random spawns I've run into. Anyone still feeling misplaced in SWG should group with us or your friends and take the time to LEARN your class. I quickly discovered that TKM being a tank class was not my idea of fun so if I hadn't continued along the path of jedi I'd have chosen a different melee profession, probably gone back to Pike. Ekade as example again, if Fencer no longer suits your playstyle its not impossible for you to change class without too much hassle *winks* knowing you pretty well, I'm guessing you would prefer a pure damage dealing class because like me, you love kicking ass! So find your new style Sister! You have a whole family and a community here to draw experience from if you dont want to do it the slow way, all by yourself.
