I need to vent my frustration of everything that sucks about the tech industry right now. What better place to do so than in my blog. I considered writing down these thoughts in e-mail messages to myself, which I would delete, but why do that when posting in a blog is just about as productive! (albeit...
Ok , yeah, I'll admit it...glitch wise, there are many MMOs out there that beat SWG. So, why do so many people play it? I have been pondering this question for a while now..and I've got my answers after doing a little research. It's all about the community, no other MMO has the community...
Perhaps it's just me, but I feel the official SWG forums are at a low point. I'm not talking about the technical issues they've been having, nor am I saying the mods are slacking (because they aren't, the posts in question aren't necessarily against the rules). Blame the NGE, blame the CU, blame PvPers...
This is just so I can keep track of all the things in SWG that drive me nuts. I'll do my best to separate these things into a few different lists. This is a work in progress and will always remain that way. Bugs & Annoyances Radar only displays its current zoom level when you mouse over it. This...
Well, first off, let me introduce myself. The name is Bendak Starkiller, I have been playing Star Wars Galaxies for about one year and three months. I have not been subscribed that whole time. for various reasons, Real Life, a little game called WoW, but never the less, no matter how long I have been...
As many of you know I've been playing a little EQ2 during the past couple months. Since I've gotten a little deeper into the game I figured it was time to offer some of my opinions. Most of these are comparing EQ2 to SWG in some way or another. I'm still a newbie in EQ2; keep this in mind...
... are really getting out of hand in SWG. I didn't mind them when they simply showed us a state effect such as stunned or bleeding, pre-cu days. Logged into TC tonight to check out Medic and it just wasn't worth it for me because the game is so DAMN UGLY with all those particle effects! Grraawww...
Just bare with me here, this does relate to SWG… Some of you might already know this, but I'm a network engineer IRL (that's right, I not an appliance repairman). Titles mean nothing to me though and I actually don't do as much hardcore networking as my title suggests. We are a Microsoft...
UI - Suck it up and give us the "official" option of the pre -NGE UI. This one sucks and has more problems than a balding Wookiee . Don't try to improve it, don't try to pretty it up, don't try anything! Just make it work with the NGE and leave it the hell alone. Radar - Good job...
Lately I've been almost irate over the way SOE handles their Test Center server. The major item in this chapter was the new smuggling system. The developers who worked on this system were actively communicating with people who were testing. They were trying to fix issues found during testing and kept...
