Really? Did you ever play it?
SWG had many, many faults, but not feeling Star Warsy was never one of them for me.
I did actually. It never felt like Star Wars. It never caught the feel of the movies for me. It didn't get anything right about Star Wars. It may have been adequate for RP'ers to do what they wanted but that isn't Star Wars. Its not about a giant do what the **** you want, its about that feeling of going into a giant space battle between the Republic and the Empire and taking down what seems insurmountable, its about overcoming the odds, its not about exploring space. Its about being part of an adventure to unbelievable places, not sitting around in a cavern grinding my dance skill.

It was running for eight and a half years, that's quite a long run for a failure.
So can a person in a coma with life support. We don't know the specifics behind why SWG kept running, for all we know SOE could have wanted to axe it but they couldn't because LA had a contract with them or hell, maybe their bandwidth costs weren't that much.

1. Droids do that all the time, so do a lot of the alien humanoid species, including ones you can actually have as a Player Character.
2. They weren't too iconic to be a playable race in SWG (and there were a LOT more playable races in SWG too, 10 in fact) and there was absolutely no problem with them as such there, you could make that argument with Yoda, but not really with Wookies, admittedly though none of the current classes really scream Wookie, except bounty hunter maybe, but they wouldn't work so well as the mirror Trooper.
The real reason is probably:
3. BW for whatever reason couldn't manage non-human PC, just different coloured human "aliens".
SWG sucked. It never felt like SW and that is why it failed. Nothing about it captured the SW feel.

Put an immediate halt to all future content. No excuses. STOP!
Fix the game as it is in it's current state, terrible. Upgrade, recompile, reverse engineer what ever you nerds have to and make this game worthy of 2012.
- DirectX 11
- Mult-Threading for high end PCs
- Class balance across the board (DAILY HOTFIXES IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES - WORK FOR IT!)
- Daily bug fixes across the board (Bioware should hunker down and go into HOTFIX MODE ONLY!)
- Crew Skill inconsistencies
- Loot issues
- Level 50 gear issues
- PVP balance ISSUES
- THIS LIST WOULD TAKE UP WHAT SERVER SPACE THEY LEFT
Then, after the game is launch ready and up to date with 2012, they add more HardMode(easy mode) instances
Oh and remove sharding, so this will become an MMO. Just thought I would throw that in there too.
Advertising an MMO that is actually a single player game is a lie. Like Peace.
Yes, because it takes all the programmers to make one fix, so every single one of them must stop and working on what they are doing and BW must make all 30 programmers fight over who gets to fix the single bug while the rest sit around doing jack **** wondering who the hell thought that breaking up their teams and taking them away from the sections of codes they worked on was a bright idea. Also DX11 is overrated, in the right hands it becomes a useful tool, in a game like SWTOR it won't do much.

I'm not sure if your saying that looks good.
And here from the Rise of the Rakghouls trailer.

You do realize at that distance I can make the textures for the robes for those jedi 65536x65536 and you would not be able to tell the difference? The only thing that higher resolution textures will do is reduce the amount of blur on textured objects as you get closer.
-
I think what they're doing is monitoring the cheats for now and working so that the anti cheat nukes them all in one blow. Make the hackers feel safe with what they use now then when the time comes nuke them all.
-
They should make a FP thats based around a group of 4 but 2 republic and 2 empire. Say they're forced to ally to take something down but throughout the FP both sides can try to push their agenda in order to screw over the other side or something and in the end depending on their choice one side may come out on top or they might come out even.
-
AJDHAJSKLDJAJDHKA. High resolution textures aren't going to make much difference. The only difference they will make is decreasing the distance before it begins to look like ****. They will not magically make everything look better. You can't fit 50 pixels of detail into 10 pixels on screen and you can't force 100 into 10 pixels on screen. High resolution textures will also look like **** at at the distance people are taking these comparison screenshots.
-
They are using the same textures. They just aren't stupid enough to zoom in close enough to where the textures look like ****.
-
Im 13, anyway, I put in addons because it seems some of the community wants it!
Except it kills any fun whatsoever and eventually they become required. So unless BW bans people for requiring addons to get in a group, I won't support them.
-
Restart your client, if you get disconnected and reconnect sometimes this bug shows up.
-
Well, it is talking about suggesting stuff, but I was more on spot that this is comparing the lack of features it has to other mmos.
Take 4 out and I'll agree. Addons kill fun.
Also you sound like you're 12.
-
To post this way on a forum? It is against forum rules - (also called vulgarity for a reason but I won't go there).
Uhhh as long as hes not insulting anyone he can say **** all he wants.
Also OP you can't drop any quest thats part of a series.
-
They did have an update, before the forums were wiped. They essentially said no we're not bringing it back but they are working on a new version that they like more. The reason they took it out was because it made a lot of gear look the same and hurt gear progression.
-
It was certainly a lot more fun than the space combat here designed for 5 year olds. Who wouldn't want to actually pilot a variety of Star Wars ships with total freedom of movement?
I would but I don't want it like SWG. I want it to be the iconic experience that was in the movies, not going herp derp lets explore space like SWG.
-
Except this is Star Wars, space combat plays an important part in the movies. They are already working on improving it, so even they know it isn't acceptable in it's current form.
You can't say someone should omit content just because it takes time to create otherwise we would only ever get the most basic of games. Maybe they can add proper space combat in the first expansion SWG managed this the year after launch.
SWG style space is definitely a no. SWG never caught what Star Wars was about in space, hell it never caught what SW was about at all.
-
Yeah that's the one... But IMO it looks bad. It's bright red and looks more like a sci fi outfit out of the 60s.
No that's not the one we're talking about. Thats the 70 per piece one, we're talking about the 200 per piece.
-
Yeah you can from the Starship commendation vendor. Costs 200 for each piece though and 225 for the helmet.
-
Imperial Agent.
-
So you would rather repeat the same **** over and over for a year just so you can do some raids?
-
If my Sith could she might just do it.
-
Stop ridiculing the issue or us complaining dude! Outrageous!
Just because we like to see what was in the BETA does not make us whiners without reason!
See my post above as for my thinking behind why we do not have the game we should.
But you Mr. find me a single female player that did NOT comment on how crappy her garment looks! And I have a few in my guild let me tell you. And enough of the guys are over this as well. Think before writing nonsense. There is like how many pages now about this issue? 10,000??? So mate, this means it is serious. Period. >.< LOL
You do realize at the distance half the *********** pictures are taken even high resolution textures are going to look like ****? The only thing that this will do is halve the distance before they begin to look like ****.
-
Yeah but no. 40 months just to get something done is excessive as *********** hell.
-
One word... Professionalism.
People like you are the reason developers don't talk to the community. Anytime the devs try to have fun with the community or do something awesome you people go "HES NOT A PROFESSIONAL HERP DERP FIRE HIM".
why isnt there a wookiee race

It was dying long before then. It was bleeding subs like crazy and LA made them try to save it. The developers are at fault for failing to sit at the meeting and finding out what made Star Wars so great. Lucas Arts may have pushed them but it was ultimately SOE who failed.
