Star Wars Galaxies Overhaul Continues

Posted by Zonk on from the there's-a-noise-under-the-hood dept.

With the combat update to Star Wars Galaxies coming up soon, you would have thought the design changes to the game would have slowed. Instead, the development team is making major changes to just about every system, with looting changes, a complete revamp of the PVP system, the addition of a Planetary Control Meta Game to the design, and for good measure a well thought out Veteran Rewards program is going to be added to the game. Criticism of the game's real or percieved flaws aside, you have to be impressed with the team's dedication to the virtual world.

  1. My Grief with SWG by Krizhek · · Score: 4, Informative

    Was that I constantly felt like I had to log on
    -I needed to get on to check my factory
    -I have to go one and check to see which of my items were sold
    -Have I collected my resources from my farms?

    Then a shared multi-guild base was razed by a bunch of 12 year olds when no one else was on.
    I ended up quitting since it was affecting my relationship with my wife.
    Then right after I had quit, the game ,the weight of the world felt like it was gone.

    The game actually had loot options when it launched, but they didn't work so Sony turned them off.
