New Galaxies Expansion

11
(Dantooine, Kashyyyk, Dathomir, Yavin4, Corellia, Talus, Endor, Naboo, Rori, Tatooine, Lok)
plus space stuff (the Kessel/Deepspace thing)

 

Wow, they got desperate enough to add in HK-47.

 

I thought a game like SWG would have 20 or 30 worlds by now.

 

What is this about HK-47?

 

I think you're wrong. I love it. Most fun i've had in years, excluding deer hunting.

 

There was a bit in the press release about a new character with one mission: to 'destroy all meatbags'.

This is surely HK-47.

 

Wow. As much as I love HK-47 I'm glad I got out of SWG when I did.

 

How on earth wuld you do that without them getting extremely repetitive? It's difficult enough to think of something different (and luckily Kashyyyk wasn't a second Endor). Mustafar works, Fellucia would have been nice, an ice planet (not Hoth) could work, but after that it gets thin

 

It's supposed to be a big galaxy and I don't see 11 worlds being enough. Unique locations on each would would make it different enough. I wasn't aware that SWG was restricted to using worlds that are totally different from each other.

 

So what's this one about? Ob1 gives you orders? On Mustafar? To do what?

Clean the decaying bodies out of the control room so he can renovate it as a batchelor pad?

Oh well I guess most of us will never know what Ob1 wants, seeing is only about 1% of us are Jedi.

 

Obi-Wan's dead, so I doubt he cares about a bachelor pad.

Though I struggle to think why he'd rather talk with dancers than help Luke out.

 

50% of the players are Jedi, not 1%
which is the big problem

and they did say it's not a Jedi-only expansion, just high-level. You know, there was once a time when a group of non-Jedi could finish stuff, and did!

Oh I wish I was around to see that... it's been over a year, and the game still makes me feel like a noob.

 

It's well over a year for me, too, and I know I'm a n00b. All my equipment is average, I only have 5 million credits, I don't carry much food with me (actually just converted pre-CU stuff until it runs out) and I'm still a freaking useless Creature Handler

that's what I love about this game: It's one of those other things you can have a lot of fun with, without being any good at it (if you're not a WS/AS, that is. I should become Tailor )

 

you have...5 million credits?



And I felt special when I discovered 47000 in my posession for no reason...I was barely scraping by with a few hundred...dang creature handlers get all the fun!

 

It's so great to hear that non-Jedi can play the expansion too.


I mean, really, A crystal that turns your lightsaber into lava?!?!

Why, that's just what my non-smuggling Smuggler has been waiting for over the past two years. I thought what I wanted was some sort of dynamic Smuggling system, but silly me, as a Smuggler why would I want something like that?


Thank God the Devs really know how to keep us non-Jedi players happy.

 

I have been out of this game for a while,... was the expension in space with the ships was cool?

 

Jump to Lightspeed? Eh...I just got it. Since I can't afford much of anything anyways, I really can't afford a ship. So I'm missing out a bit on that entire expansion. I haven't noticed many other changes, besides the two new species (ithorian and sullustan). The expansion after that, Rage of the Wookies, also didnt present much of anything new to me.

 

CH just got a revamp though - like my freind said CH sounds actually fun now... albeit still useless.

To smuggle you need four or five dozen systems at minimum, contraband cargoes and civilian traffic to blend in with. SWG goes for finite detail, which limits the size. You can't have missions like the family/freighter missions out of XWA in SWG.

I'm sure their are people that like going from movie scene to movie scene, but I'm also sure their are others that would give up much of that detail to have a larger game. One that is more Space Sim/RPG then EverCrack with blasters and lightsabers.

 

Hahahaha. I've never played any SWG games, but that just makes me laugh.
