I've seen quite a few posts about the patch being bad. I'm a Commando/Squad Leader and I've found that most things in this game are very expensive and require the help of others to do. My biggest complaint is with the "nerf" of missions that they call a fix. Previous to this patch I, with the help of my player association, could obtain a level 60 destroy mission. I could earn a cut from the roughly 20k credits that my friends and I earned, and I'd also have a bit of challenge in my life. Now I'm stuck with the prospect of soloing level 25 missions to make a meager 3 to 5k. It's no longer usefull for me to take anyone along in my group since if I did I'd earn less than 1k per mission. Missions have not been brought more in line with my level, they've been made too easy and, in my opinion, a waste of time. With all the complaining I've been hearing about PvP getting nerfed I'm left with little to do except run faction missions... I can promise that I won't play this game much longer If I'm stuck with lvl 25 missions for the rest of my existance... A Master Commando should be able to get more difficult missions than that. The only thing that will keep me here is getting that fixed or an expansion real soon. Good luck to the rest of you, but at the moment things still need a lot of work.

Has anybody noticed that our pets don't yield the same exp they used to . Now after the patch I don't care how low level my pet is or what i kill i get like 1 point of exp . Used to be I could hit the noob yard and at least get a few points with a low level pet . Now i have to take my lowest level pets mountain wort hunting just to get some points . By chance am I to assume that I'm going to be reimbursed for my stims and time . Just a thought .

i am glad that they made this game live. i am still enjoying playing it. any company making a game like this is taking a huge risk. thankfully, there are companies like verant / soe that are willing to take that risk and make the game. it may have its problems, but i like it.
i am a software engineer and i hate to tell all of you this, but there is no such thing as a perfect piece of software. there will always be bugs, always. especially when you are writing software to work on hundreds of thousands of different computer configurations.
i would much rather that the people at sony spent their time improving / fixing the game than spend their time fighting with the players that they already have.
be happy for what you have instead of mad about what you want. it is a life strategy..
an optimist says the glass is half full.
a pessimist says the glass if half empty.
an engineer says the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

I'm in QA too, and besides a lack of process and management it appears to me that there is more marketing drivingthis than development. It seems to me like the marketing people set a date and a huge list of expectations, and because of the scope of the project and the lack of good process, many milestones were missed, and dev fell behind. Once that happens, ship dates slip, and there was too much pressure to get it out there.

So combine an overly ambitious project on a overly aggressive schedule, a lack of testing, process, and internal documentation, and a marketing department trying to sell to people who, if the product is late, will do nothing but ***** and complain about the program being late, and you get a game with a lot of problems.

That being said, I do hand it to the dev team for creating a pretty damned good engine. But there's still too much unfinished work, and Verant/SOE/Lucas/whoever need to knuckle down and work on it with a good QA process and management.

ok ... HERE WE GO ...

This was not planned properly from the start.

I test software for a living ... and do QA management.

I can smell a lack of process and documentation and this game reeks of it.

I am seeing a lot of posts to the effect of ... you need 250K testers to test this properly ... or how can you remember every little thing, just be happy that what is working is working.

One piece of software wiht a few client machines could test 250K capacity. It's called LoadRunner. And if the documentation were there, automated scripts test all the working functionality as bug fixes are comming in from/to test.

As far as having massively distributed servers farms with different machines that are responsible for different tasks and need to be syncronized ... piece of cake. Just takes forthought and documentation, and everything can be reproduced in a test environ with a virtual machine for each piece of distributed network instead of an actual machine. One test machine can simulate several synch'ed servers.

Long story short, and to no surprise, there was a CRIMINAL ( yea caps baby :p ) lack of process and documentation that lead to this unfinished program.

Sure the graphics rock and the Star Wars genre rocks, and being able to chat with others while hunting rocks ... but we payed for more, we were promissed more...and we should'nt just shrug and say 'Hey ... thats how MMORP's go'.

Especially with EQ to learn from ... this should have been much more together ... the space expansion should allready be out and this character balancing should have been addressed in test a long time ago.

I STILL have not been able to download the patch. It keeps saying "update could not be initalized" Is anyone else getting this? STILL getting this? Anyone know how to get past it?

(I get past the login page to the "updating" page, but the update never starts downloading...)

I second the notion that BHs and commands aren't doing much for damage in pvp anymore. My best friend plays a BH and he got kill today by a novice marksman and he started the fight. I'm not really sure what to think of that. I guess he is going to have to bag the BH weapons for pvp. However, at least commandos still have the burn effect on their flame-thrower. They just have to get with in 16m to use it.

Here is food for though, maybe the derv are trying to get players to stop pvp all together. Even though it goes agaist this whole emp/reb thing and starwar in general. But remember like that one guys posted - we should be kissing the devs butts. They are our online gods (rolls eyes). We should follow them like sheep never questioning anything they do or ever complaining. If they raise the price again of this lacking (errrrr clears voice) I mean great game we should just keep paying without question. Even if they double it. Anyway, was making a point. Without complaining and feed back, nothing ever gets beter or improves. Hell if you guys are Americans, this country is here because a bunch of people complained and were pissed off. Verant is a business and I promise you that if they don't think they have to fix something, they sure as hell won't do it. So ***** and complain until verant can't take it anymore.

no more money missions on endor, and everything is a bit buggy...and lots of nerfing...wasn't there a comment something to the effect of "you'll never see a nerf in SWG?" i seem to remember something to that effect being said.

just a reminder to the ppl whining over other ppl complaining about the patch, we pay for a service, just as u pay ur isp, now if ur isp were down as often as swg u would be complaining, if this were all for free i wouldnt complain at all, but since we pay for a service that service should be in order, if every business were running as swg are the world would be chaos, and i find it disturbing that the devs are telling ppl to either stfu or quit the game, ever heard the customer is always right? well at least if u wanna stay in business, not that i think this would happen, but without customers swg would not excist anymore, and without swg i do think a acouple of devs would be without a job.


Now, all i have to complain about is the fact that a BH or commando cant do more pvp damage than 300 max, and thats with llc lightning single 2, while a CM can throw 500dmg poison, and pretty much cant be harmed since the eye shot is nerfed to 50dmg along with torso shot, and he can heal other damage himself faster than anyone can inflict it on him, other than that i think the games runs alot more smooth after the update wich is a plus, and generelly the patch seems good except for the always nerfing, allthough this nerfing is ridiculos.

Hmm..with the addition of this patch, I can no longer remove items from my factory crates..Fun...

love this update, it really makes sense that a CM can take out 4BH/Commandos and dodge 2 atst's, its a gr8 thing that my 120k llc give 300dmg while his poison gives 500 mind damage untill i get healed, hurray for pvp, thats one thing thats dead for sure....

ok first off you guys need to chill out, talking all this nonsense about " sony launched an unfinished project". Ever play EQ? that damn game is almost 5 years old and STILL gets patches and STILL gets bugs to this day.

MMORPGS are always a constant work in progress patches and server downtime come with the territory.

You say you are not getting what you paid for? you play dont you? you have met new people and gone hunting havent you? Then you got exactly what you paid for.

Another thing, anyone that knows anything about game publishing knows that there is a developer and a publisher and a production company...publishing companies set the deadlines for release dates if the product is not done by then guess what? too bad launch the game or we pull funding, hence why blizzard can delay games endlessly on testing since they do everything in house.

Its just one day folks its happend before it WILL happen again no matter how much you ***** no matter how much you complain no matter how much you threaten to quit life goes on and so do the patches forever. /end rant
