I've been reading random posts about a new update problem. What is going on
now? I quit after the CU.

CU nerfed soloing, requiring you to group to get anything of
signifigance done in the game... and Pub 22 just nerfed grouping.

Looks like they realized they screwed up, and un-nerfed grouping last
night.

Nope its not Jedi only. Its set on Mustafar (the planet at the end of Ep
3) anyone can work through the quests (posted by a dev). If the quest
rewards can only be used by a jedi who knows

I must admit that I miss the game tho. Back when it was in its prime it
was a very fun and in-depth game to play. My favorite mmorpg to date. I
had 6 chars across 3 galaxies. I too quit when the CU went live and my
world turned upside down. Don't know why I still check this group, I guess
to kinda keep up with things a lil. But after the CU the group seemed to
die too...

I see you say that with a tearing sincerity.

It's sad the dev's change the rules of a world without the aproval of the
comunity.

If you're referring to the nefarious "Publish 22," they attempted to make a
change that split all XP between members of parties/groups hunting together.
Not only did it completely nerf group play, but their math was WAY off.
They wound up rolling it back, for the most part. The only part left behind
is the improper display of XP gained.

In my nearly three years with the game, it's the first time I actually saw
them roll back a publish. Is it worth going back to? Eh. Not really.
LOL. They just keep finding new and exciting ways to nerf the whole XXXXin'
thing.


Sincerely,

They never put the bio linking in, that was just a description error.

third time after the PvP nerfs!

Devs rarely ever consult the playing public before making changes. I
have seen most games put it on a take-it-or-leave-it basis!

Thanks for the heads up. I just came back to this game after a year and
starting fresh I hadn't realised this yet. I have no intention playing any
other game that doesn't reward soloing as a viable game mode in some manner.

WoW has proved it is possible to have viable soloing, PvPing and high end
group raiding all in the same game so I don't plan on supporting a platform
that can't - or in SOE's case - <won't> offer this.
