Star Wars Galaxies

Someone on the Official forums posted this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUw007jZ7QQ.  It's a bug that they were able to take the AT-ST out of Hoth (this is on TC, remember) but it does show that vehicle combat can exist outside of Hoth.  Here's hoping that combat vehicles outside of Hoth do become a reality in the near future :)

Honestly Obraik, why don't you just go and play Battlefront 1&2?

Vehicular combat is just dumb, especially in the time period SWG is set in, they'd have to grab yet more bullshit from the EU, rebel "tanks"... ewwww, seems like you couldn't give two hoots about canon, Jeddai all over the place, reb "tanks".  Well for the record I hope they add it as well, if nothing else it'll drive more people to play SWTOR.

I think that vehicle combat would be an excellent idea for SWG. If they have indeed broken that barrier in Hoth, then surely it can be implemented in the entire game. 

And in response to the previous poster, SWG is not just the Star Wars movies. You can't have SWG without EU. It has been that way since the beginning. The planet Dathomir and everything on it is straight from the Star Wars novel "The courtship of Princess Leia".

Anyway if everyone would just refrain from using the "N" word (NGE), maybe this curse can be lifted from SWG and people would see how good a game it realy is.

My $0.02.

There's a vet trial active right now, 30 days free for folks like me to go and see for ourselves how good a game SWG really is. I lasted less than 30 minutes, there's nothing good about it, from the shit combat, the even more shit control interface, and most shockingly for me, the dumb fools actually think they added content by adding farmfest instances and Restuss "pvp". They couldn't be further from the truth, by removing the focus on player cities and player dropped bases, they've actually taken more content out than the skeleton crew dev team that's working on the game currently would be able to put in if they had another 5 years to do it.

My $0.02. then is that the game ain't even worth playing, for free.

Again I'm going to have to troll this thread.

Ok first of all the game needs a z-axis and collision because seeing that vehicle tilt over the landscape is just pathetic and I know it's been something SWG has needed all along but if you have vehicle combat then you're going to need them things so it doesn't look sooo stupid. It's like seeing a giant Dino thing or w/e they are on Dath and seeing him walk along the ground over the bumps just looked stupid because he wud just have a tilt like he's stuck to the ground with moon boots.

Then second of all please get a new UI that looks nice cause I can't stand to look at that horrible clunky ugly thing.

Third please fucking sort out them retarded animations because they looks stupid

Forth sort out the poor effects

Finally Fix vehicle movement because it always has been retarded but if you add combat into the mix then it's even worse.

I know you're fed up of people trolling your threads but honestly why arn't SOE making fixes to the parts of the game that it needs to attract new people, it's just a broken mess of a game with crap new content because of all this shit that since the NGE has suddenly become more apparent that the game needs these things.

I've spent the past couple of days trying to enjoy SWG again. What I'm finding is that the game has become so dependent on gear, collections, and buffs that I would have to spend an incredible amount of time grinding just to be effective in combat again.

Not to mention that my server (Tarq) is completely deserted. The greatest number of players I've been able to find with the new search function was 76... during prime time, during a free vet trial.

To be blunt.... I understand your affection for the game. I still have an emotional connection to my characters, to the few friends who do still play, to my old houses and my old player city. I badly want to play and enjoy a Star Wars MMO.

But SWG is not a good game. It is rididulously dependent on gear and buffs. The Heroic instances are entertaining only the first couple of times... after that they are incredily repetitive and boring. Collections are quite possible the most mind numbingly boring system ever created in the name of "entertainment". The few "story" elements found in the game are remarkably shallow and pathetic, even for a MMO.

The current SWG has replaced every instance of  "fun" with an instance of  "grinding". And by doing that, the current game is the worst iteration of the game that I have played. And that includes the game immedietly post NGE.

Sounds like someone has poor hand eye coordination.

You can get mods that put the old UI back etc etc etc. All the things you complain about are inherent in EVERY MMO out there.

The type of MMO that SWG used to be is gone, and it alot of ways, that sucks, but it is what it is and no amount fo whining is going to change it.

You are, as always, entitled to YOUR opinion.

Erm.... no actually, I've been playing Farcry 2 and Fallout 3 and having a blast, nothing wrong with my hand-eye coordination, not that it's relevent.

No mods, UI addons or anything of the like can fix what is simply bad combat mechanics, it's a core game problem and nothing that can be helped by tossing a pre-cu skin over it. That soft/hard lock thing is possibly the dumbest thing I've ever seen in any game that's got any form of combat. Couple that with the fact that they STILL to this day refuse to completely discard the free aim crap the NGE came along with, despite the fact that hardly anyone uses it and it immediately gives returning vets and new players a really bad first impression of the game when they start it up. Those are the things I'm complaining about and no, they're not inherent in every mmo, just SWG. Not every mmo out there has been bent over the table and rogered 3 times.
