Alright so I got to play for about an hour last night, and I didnt mind the new icons to much for the actions, however, I couldn't find a medic to heal my wounds or an entertainer for battle fatigue, also it took me over an hour t do one simple searcha dn destroy mission from and imperial mission terminal, that is not right, not to mention they moved somespecial skils/moves and got rid of some, half of this so called upgrade needs removed, mainly the "level system on top of the skill system.
When Star Wars Galaxies was in concept, design, programming and in beta testing I distinctly remember devs and everyone else concerned in making this game that it was not going to be level based at all, that apealed to me and the fact that it had more then just combat in it with the artisan and entertainer professions, and that it was suppose to be different from EVERQUEST, what a dumb game, the Combat Upgrade does have some highlights to it, like the warm up and cool down for special moves and such, and the interface that i have heard about sounds like its a bunch of CR#POLA, its Star Wars the data-pad interface fit the game perfectly with the icons before the Combat Upgrade, and also from what I hear is they are basically beta testing the Combat Upgrade LIVE, thats not what people pay for, when I get home i plan to go in and see if SOE has actually ruined it from what I grew to love from way before when it was in development.
If SOE has ruined Star Wars Galaxies I would like to put a call out to all those who play, anyone who works at SOE and disagree with the conversion to a level based system, to join forces and either get SOE to go back and remove the Combat Upgrade(quite possibly downgrade) or to open source the Galaxies code, so we can remove it ourselves, and make a competing Galaxies to our likeing that SOE has no control over, we should also try to contact Lucas and or Lucasarts to get them more involved and throw a fit over this "Upgrade" as i have yet to see what it is but I have a feeling that it is bad from what I have read. Also on side note, I have been told by a friend that the upgrade has made it nearly impossible to get Factional Armor, that is not ok with me.
