Star Wars Galaxies System Revamps

Posted by Zonk on from the the-one-who-will-bring-balance-to-the-force dept.

Star Wars Galaxies has been out for over a year now, and Sony Online will be attempting one of the most ambitious moves in a MMOG to date. They're completely overhauling the combat and loot systems for their game. Now that Jump to Lightspeed is finally out, they've made available high level concepts for the combat revamp, concepts for the loot revamp, and actual data on the first loot revamp pass. From the combat revamp: "Star Wars Galaxies is making bold changes to its extensive in-game combat system. The goal of this all-encompassing set of changes is to make game play more strategic, more interactive and ultimately more engaging and fun for players of all levels."

    With SOE also supporting EQ2, I don't know that it necessarily matters. In my opinion, they should just abandon the trainwreck that is SWG and throw more resources at EQ2. Perhaps even an SWG2: Return of the Content.
