Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided (2003)
Just Plain Bad
This Game was Great when it came out , but they started tinkering with it in mid 2005 , they basically Dumbed it down for children. Then as they tried to fix the Game they Took it down another Level on Nov 15 2005. It is so bad now that your IQ has to be below 70 to enjoy it.
When the game came out it you had 32 professions to chose from, you could be almost any combination of ranged fighting(pistols,carbines,rifles), mele(hand to hand,sword,pike) and then with some medic and crafting and entertaining you had it all , even the mighty BH and rangers were there, and by combining theses skills you were unique. And there was even the rare Jedi(really powerful fighter, but not really the end all). At any time you could relinquish skills and add new ones to try new things( I tried 19 professions before I found what I liked best). You had to think about your attacks and have a good plan, along with better gear that you had to either pay to have made or make it your self.
Now you have to choose from 9 professions( just like WOW)and you cannot change and one of the professions is Jedi , So everyone Is one it seems. And there is no way to make your self individualized, you are just like any one who is that profession. Also now combat is in First Person Shooter style, So clicky clicky clicky is all you do. Your attacks are all the same so who ever clicks faster wins in any battle. There is almost no Stratagey at all, Just run around and click. All Gear is now a dropped item from Mobs , and every one can loot it so crafting is gone for the most part. In the words of Miss MacIntyre(a Big Wig in the Game) " We wanted the Game to be Shoot, Kill, Loot, Repeat. " for me this is just like 7 dollar game from the 80s.
So for the most part dropped the ball on this game it could have been huge , now it is just empty space. They have treated their players so badly that it may never recover.
