Need an honest opinion....Follow
2 posts
I started playing Galaxies when it first came out. I stopped playing in late 2005/early 2006 after SOE ruined the game. How is the game now? After almost 1 1/2 year absence, has SOE made any changes that brought the game back to any semblance of what it was like prior to the big change? I really like what the game offered especially after the Combat Upgrade around May of 2005. I'm really looking for honest opinions. Is the game worth coming back to? If I did come back, would it be difficult for me to "pick up" from where I left off? Is there any info out there that could tell me about the changes to the game. Thanks.

this question has been answered so many times now, that its becoming an eyesore, seriously, if you are at all interested in finding out, then download the free trial and have a go at it yourself.

I know this is posted not more than 6 or 7 threads from top in the forum, but I will echo Dancers comments. Download the trial...you can still reactivate your toons. It should still have all of it CL and equipment, that way you don't have to start from the begining if you don't want too. As a hint for future posts....check the other theads within the forum....we have answered this question alone about 50 to 100 times and the answer is all the same. DOWNLOAD THE TRIAL VERSION AND GIVE IT A TRY!

If you had bothered to read my post, you would have noticed 2 things that should have clued you into what I was saying. Instead, you have to make a post that is insulate, insulting and irrelevant.
First, I have been away from the game for over 1 1/2 years. By extension, I've been away from the SWG forums for the same amount of time. How am I suppose to know that this question is an "eyesore" for you? If it is an "eyesore", simply move on. There is no need to make insipdily snideful remarks.
Second, if you bothered to notice, this was a post requesting honest feedback from those playing the game. Loading the game back up or downloading the trial isn't going to give me the insight other players have concerning the game. Since this is a forum for players of Galaxies, I just thought there might be some people here willing to provide some constructive comments about the course of the game since I stopped playing. Guesss I was wrong on that assumption. I'm sorry if I crashed someone's personal virtual sanctuary where helping others is verboten. Good day!

Hey ralphmtsu,
I also recently came back to SWG after a 2-year sabbatical. I left before the NGE changes, so the new system was a shock. But after 2 years, I knew that it would be radically different, especially after reading about the NGE blunder.
After a few days of being back, and after the shock of the changes wore off, I actually liked the new system. As far as I understand, SWG has done a decent job of fixing a lot of the NGE bugs (not all, mind you).
I can't really tell you much about the new PvP, PvE combat system, since I am mostly a trader/crafter. From what some of my guildies tell me, they mostly like the new combat system. It all depends on what you like to do, and what profession you choose.
I have one level 74 Spy. Before I left, he was a master Pistoleer. It sucks that I have to grind him back up again, but at least he didn't start from a level 5, instead of the level 70 that he was given when I came back. If you want a fighter class, I would probably suggest a BH, Commando, or a Jedi. You can always switch profs to another fighting class without losing levels (except jedi, from what I understand). Although it may cost you money after the first time, unless you got a respec device.
The Allakhazam, Warcry, and SWG Wiki sites all have a lot of relevant useful information on the new system, along with some outdated stuff.
As per the suggestions of some of the people in this thread, I would download the trial, and stick with it at least a week to get a feel for the changes since you were last on. If you like it, then buy/register the full version. From what I can tell, a lot of the servers are still sparsely populated. But the last 6 weeks, I've noticed a huge influx of new and old players. I would suggest starting on Bria, Ahazi, Bloodfin if you are a US player, or Chimaera if you are in Europe.
I hope this helps.

BTW Ralph, if you left after NGE was launched, then you should still have the same level character(s) from when you left. If you had any structures, they are probably "stored" on your datapad, with all their contents intact.
If you deleted the characters when you left, then you will most likely have to start from scratch again.

...there should be a permenant thread titled OLD PLAYERS THINKING OF RETURNING
but then again all it would say is dl the trial..
so dl the trial,

... if someone is genuinely in need of help thats fair enough, but this has really been covered so many times already, even on this forum, some are genuine but most are just people wanting to keep the 'IS SWG STILL RUBBISH SINCE THE NGE WAS INTRODUCED' argument going, which by now im pretty sure both sides are tired of, or should be. and because individual perceptions are just that, the only answer that can be given, is... download the trial...
if you have any gameplay questions then by all means, there are a lot of people here who will gladly give you their 'honest' opinions on solutions etc :D
