[envoker]

As the title says again,

What am i missing while waiting for my game to be deleiverd still?(will the bloody thing hurry up!)

Is it good? lots of fun? i cant wait hehe

IT does seem tho that we do pardon the french but get the shit ripped out of us when we ask if others are going to be comming to it, (small minded idiots) well i do anway.

Give me the whole load down if you can dont miss a detail hehe

Thanks

its a good game yeah but the missions suck i dont think it was a good idea making that one of the only ways to get money its not the only way but it more or less is if you get what i mean

 

[envoker]

ahh missions

They do seem to sound like a drag, but they seem to be the most popular (and by sounds easiest) way to earn some cash.

Guess i better get used to it, going dancer after all lol

 

[envenom]

the game still is'nt a UO beater not for me anyway

 

[envoker]

but..

Do you think it has the potential, and will eventually be better than AU, and DAOC? (only played daoc, i am sad i know, shot me please lol)

 

[Ebonn]

Missions are great for cash, not great if your looking for intresting things to do.. i was a bit short of cash today. 3 hours of missions later. 60.000 creds again !!

as for potential. i never liked UO, never played AC, and it makes DAoC look like scrabble, if your a diehard fan of FPS games it might not apeal to you, if you like RPG games, it probably will.

I love this game its awesome!

Got a Marksman that I am training up doing missions and just blowing shit out of things The game is absolutely HUGE, spent most of today with a few mates exploring corellia (or whatever its called) and still haven't seen half of it yet!

There are just so many things to do in SWG it can get really confusing (which is a good thing), me and a few others while searching Corellia found a 'dungeon' some cave in the mountains, we went in and started blasting all the mobs in there and made our way down (awesome graphics), there were some locked containers we couldn't get access to I think we needed a smuggler to open them.

Also one funny occurence today was when I was in a medical bay getting my wounds treated when one of the novice doctors went to treat one of the other patients he couldn't.... so it started like this "Hey! What are you doing in here Imperial scum???", "What I'm not Imperial!!", an onlooker says, "He isnt imperial if he was he would be an enemy to me but he isnt", medic replies, "he's a covert"(undercover imperial)... so the medic procedes to start yelling, "hey guys!, there is an Imperial here!!".

I started laughing and left, I don't know what happened after that but was very funny to watch. I arent with the rebels or empire yet so it didn't involve me.

 

[envenom]

yeah its a good game and there is alot of potential here its just the missions well they suck basicly theres no other way to describe em i have'nt done a mission in about 4 days now and i dont intend on comin back.


atm im training my creature handling just got mangement 3.woulda been nice if the mobs actually dropped some gold/loot would add to the fun.

 

[Faeldawn]

The only problem i have with the game is that i cant decide what NOT to be, so far i have tried every basic trade on the same character and a few elite trades and i havent found one i DONT like yet

 

[old.pala hellraiser]

Yeah Faeldawn I know what ya mean I haven't seen any classes that I thought looked pants, they all look fun to play (even the dancers and musicians).

 

[SilverHood]

I'm going for master rifleman, master scout, and the rest of the points all over the place

got 5 skills in the artisian tree, 4 in the medic tree, 2 int eh entertainer tree and 8 in the marksman tree....

getting wilderness survival xp has to be the slowest in the game, because I've already capped scout xp at 30k, and im still 30k wilderness xp from Wilderness survival 4

Did some PvP the other night.... it's great

only probelm atm is that your gains aren't proportional to your losses - kill one rebel, and die to a rebel once, and you overall imperial faction points go down.

Entertainers are the choice profession for those that want to meet people and have fun, im a Novice Musician atm and loving every second even though the xp need for Musicians is immense

 

[envoker]

lol

i am going Dancer but i dont mind having to take longer to get more skills, it looks that fun of game that it will fly as your having fun, the missions seem to be just a quick easy yet boing way to earn fast cash for them times you want to buy a new weapon/armour/cloathing/skill etc

not like you need to do them ALL the time (will spend a few hours a week on them, or when there is no one to dance for, of if theres a new outfit on the town i want ) there like tasks in DAOC (i am sick of compairing it to DAOC lol)

Well anyway keep, keeping me informed so i get more and more excited for the game,

 

[SilverHood]

to master any elite profession is imense...

need nearly 5 million rifle xp for master Rifleman

atleast when i'm grinding I get shitloads of harvested hides and bones.... so I help an armour crafter advance at the same time

 

[envoker]

awww how sweet!

I hope your saving up for all my tips the lot of you

j/k hehe

 

[SilverHood]

oh yeah... you're missing server downtime ever day from 1gmt to 5gmt

pain in the arse

 

[envoker]

...

That sucks... i would normally play 10amgmt - 4pmgmt then 10pmgmt - 4amgmt.... lol

stupid late shift lol

 

[SilverHood]

was only an hour today, but it still sucks

especially since BT routers are playing up atm

Today's patch was to stop the uber-rifle exploit and delete those that had been made using the exploit.

How many other MMORPG's would not only fix an exploit, but delete all that has been gained by those abusing the system?

Wtg SOE :great:

Despite all the whiny crap going on on the swg boards i think the dev team is doing a quite fine job,considering the buggy release.

Most huge bugs and exploits are fixed promptly,ofcourse there are still issueses open,but that goes with the territory )

 

[Faeldawn]

To be perfectly honest i kinda like SOE games atm, playing both SWG and Planetside i find their update system to be excellent.

Still a few server-side issues to be addressed, but they are certainly a lot more responsive to problems/bugs than GOA are for DAoC.

Main thing i like is that they patch small and regular, unlike DAoC where you get one massive patch every 6 months or so and so must put up with known bugs for all that time. The DAoC patch system was hell for my poor old 56k at the time, on adsl now, but im pretty sure that 56k shouldnt have a problem keeping up-to-date with the new patches.

The humaniod mobs do, tuskans , spice feinds etc.. comon how silly was a tree dropping 90s or stm in daoc... creatures shouldnt have cash imo

Do get a bit discouraged when an enemy shoots me in combat but then i cant loot his weapon when he's dead

The harvesting system is an excellent idea imo, its more realistic to skin your prey than find 70 silver coins "on them" ... doesnt bear thinking about where a Worrt would keep 70 silver coins

Had a real funny encounter today. Was playing my Wookie Unarmed fighter, doing some hunting with a mate on Tatooine. We come across a weird looking building so we head over and this female NPC (called a Slave and then her name which I can't remember), starts yelling "Help me please, I need to get out of here! if they find me i'm dead help me please!", so I start looking around thinking wtf and I see 2 stormtroopers coming out of the building and searching the area, I automatically thought right that's it your going down imperial scum, so I procede to click on one and see he cons red.. all of a sudden I realise they are STORMTROOPERS FFS! So I can't do anything, they spot her and start running after her, blasters firing. It takes a few shots and she's dead, one of the imperials looks at the other one and says, "heh, wasted her"

LOL
