12 min Drunken rant about SWG Shutting down Part:1

[GamerDudeRetro]

bioware should have spent more money on the game mechanics than voice overs and cutsceenes. have fun paying to watch an interactive movie.

[DarthXile1]

@GamerDudeRetro I will, and am, cause it's still better than the massive piece of shit galaxies.

[GamerDudeRetro]

TOR is great a huh, single play/coop kotor lobby game that costs monthly to play! how epic!

how is sitting in fleet going? have people been getting the server merges they have been dying for cuz the game has been out 2 months and people are already leaving in masses.

how is the lifeless themepark world of tor going? every planet still empty cuz once u finish ur quests there u have no reason to go back?

[bricethaice]

his rant is invalid. he is complaining about the problems the NGE caused. dont worry when youre done on tor, swgemu will be there for you. give it a try, nothing u bitched about here happens on pre cu.

[DarthXile1]

@bricethaice Hated EMU too, it was garbage.

[Jawz4devils]

SWG NGE was awful, the only reason I played is bc i couldn't be asked to play another game. I loved pre-cu SWG was loads of fun being an individual with not that many having the exact same setup as me.

[pr0pr0]

He'd be 30% more pissed if he even knew what things were like Pre-CU when all that space and all those homes and those player owned towns had a lot more purpose and meaning.

[MrGunrage]

i do like this guy but i disagree with him on one thing and that is its not the people who created it that made it bad. its the fuckers that mad it a peace of shit mother fucking bull shit game.

[SandDragon91]

Lol. You amuse me. I hope we meet up in TOR!

[jandabrock]

Thumbs up for the NWO shirt.

[WooperShark]

Great rant lol I agree with everything you said

[chris2426]

haha do more drunk rants your funny as hell man, and by the end of the day the fields of restuss was just filed with smokey light sabers, CLASSIC.

[TheDabehofa]

I think this was pretty accurate about SWG. I beta tested SWTOR and loved it compared to SWG. Hope you play it and like it more then SWG

[DarthXile1]

@TheDabehofa I am testing and I do love it. TOR is what a Star Wars MO should be. Just waiting for the new build tomorrow, can't wait to see it even more polished, it's come a long way already from the 4 builds I've played so far.

[TheDabehofa]

@DarthXile1 I tried lots of time in SWG to get into Roleplay but was always in some sort of PVE/PVP guild and when SWG started to die I pretty much gave up on it and my in game friends that played it to. Then I tested TOR. Opened up Vent, there were my old guild mates also testing. Started playing with them again they loved TOR as much as I did and RP was worked into the story of the game along with lots of PVE.

[lopido]

Swg died in 2005 with the cu. dont get drunk over it

[litow14]

great rant. doing it drunk classic. if you play TOR let us know. love to see you in there.

[redfox669]

I love people who complain about what other people like in the game. Boo Hoo everyone but me used the black crystal.

[DarthXile1]

@redfox669 It had nothing to do with everyone using the black crystal cause they liked it, it was everyone using it cause SOE was fucking stupid and made it the most powerful crystal in the game, taking away all individuality. Everyone but 12 year olds hated that crystal, but because of it's stats everyone was forced to use it.

[MacMc691]

Nerd rage.

[ltose]

Came into this with a negative outlook, ended up watching the whole video and it was actually pretty funny & true, well done!

[daywalkerjoey]

lol thats what i did i just threw all my crap in the house ill miss galaxies i stopped playing it a few years ago but it was good tor will be better

[Mryesify]

@daywalkerjoey Idk if Tor will be better, but I should never forget SWG, i loved that game. More when it was like 2008, 2007, when people actually Rped. Ill never forget when i got into Rping the first week I got into it.

[JosephHandibode]

True words DarthXile1. SWG sucked with all its ugly player housing. SOE sucks and their game did as well.

[n2123n]

I WANT THAT SHIRT!!! But I agree with alot of what you are saying

[DarthXile1]

@n2123n Everyone wants that shirt, then they find out I got it from the NWO Souled Out Event, and then they hate me. haha.

[tohoproductions]

I actually like pre-NGE... Just not so hot for what came after.

[BeeblesTV]

Bad troll.

[DarthXile1]

@BeeblesTV Trolls do it for the negative comments and hate, I did this because SWG sucked and I was really drunk and it seemed like a good idea.

[MrFutsy]

Exact reason i quit 2 days after the revamp years ago. You were playing in the shadow of a game.

[Spookyashell76]

pre-cu was put state attack, apply dizzy, knockdown attack, then spam your highest dmg dealer for 30 sec (duration of dizzy), rinse and repeat

[Spookyashell76]

Previous devs including Raph Koster has blogged what happend. The SWG code was scrapped january 2002, to be remade from scratch over 18 puny months to be released late june 2003. Thats why it had no content and was totally unpollished. They made the jedi system in 3 weeks, not coz they wanted it like that, they just didn't have time. and as soon as the game was released SOE moved all the talented devs from SWG to other SOE projects. The ones left had no clue coz the code wasn't documented.

[k9nikkita]

SWG was on a downfall after Ralph Koster departed...plain & simple...

[TheTreko16]

Awwwww yeah

[TheBobandben]

lol

[PurpleHoneyBear]

@DarthXile1 Yeah, I don't know why anyone would call TOR "small". The starting worlds are apparently not as big as some of the ones you travel to later on, but there are a bunch of planets!

[MingMonger]

I agree with you on some of your nuances but star wars galaxies did have a lot of quests. There was the legacy quest line .The meatlump themepark. The Nyms quest line. The Kashyyyk quest line. The Mustafah quest line. The jabba themepark. The rebel and imperial themeparks, the instances/dungeons , storyteller and the deathwatch bunker , aurillia the zombie themeparks. SWG's biggest problem was that the marketing team and devs kept changing the game. /goodrant though. Im looking forward to tor

[Takhisisfollower1]

well said. lol

[tohoproductions]

I liked the part where this all true.

[Jaenus80]

I found after CU the game really went down the drain. You're right in that the game was "empty" - but that was after things began to go down hill. It's also the definition of a sand box game - it's devoid of things so that you can do whatever you want to do. I agree there were things that were stupid and should have been changed, but overall it sounds like you'd prefer a theme park MMO with linear, structured quests. Check out TOR. It's very small and linear. :)

[Airisweetheart]

Star Wars Galaxies was epic. You just were not cool enough to play before cu. So get over yourself.

[DarthXile1]

@Airisweetheart Yup, it was so epic, they changed it cause it sucked so much, and then they changed it again in to a shitty version of WoW, which also sucks....oh wait that's the opposite of epic.

[papasmurf520]

@DarthXile1 dude ur assuming shit. swg was a legit game before the cu. faults sure but the pros brought amazing fun man. I'm talking about wasting a whole summer saturday inside playing the game and feeling excited the whole time.

they changed it because of the learning curve. They made it easier for stupid people like you.

[Spookyashell76]

@papasmurf520 No it wasn't, it was crap. it had no content and was totally broken. Stun baton was the only weapon (except lightsaber) with no armorresist, so everyone used stunbatons in PVP. Combat medic dots killing everyone in sight in seconds coz of insane dot dmg. you trew poison dots hitting at upto 1100 per sec and maxed buffed you had about 2900 health and the CM dots was AOE. the system was totally broken! defence stackers untouchables (TKM/Mrifle). +++

[papasmurf520]

@Spookyashell76

pvp still had a learning curve. The game wasn't all pvp.

[Spookyashell76]

@papasmurf520 System was still totally broken. composite was always best so everyone used it. There were 32 classes, wow nice, except there were only like 3-4 combos worth having. Most professions was totally broken and half their skills didn't work. It was impossible to balance due to several thousands of combos. There was so much wrong with pre-cu I don't even know where to start.

[papasmurf520]

@Spookyashell76 Start somewhere. I'm always down hearing people's views on the flaws.

yeah. Some classes were totally better than others. So then you chose the better ones over those. So what that it wasn't cookie cutter. All that didn't matter when the idea of creativity and, making your shop, house. The best weapons were made by other players. Think of it. Playing a game that player made their own content for free. Does that seem fun? Not really but it was. The down time was minimal.

[Spookyashell76]

@papasmurf520 I have made many points already even though I said I didn't know where to start. No players didn't make the best stuff. The legendary weapons you looted trashed everything crafters made, due to the dots on legendary weapons (loot only). Dots were out of control in pre-cu. problem was the combat system was broken all over. 32 classes (about 26 were useless).

[papasmurf520]

@Spookyashell76 Cool story bro. I'm glad the NGE fixed it for you.

[Spookyashell76]

@papasmurf520 NGE made it worse, at launch only 2 stats mattered in NGE, Combat level and armor. All versions of SWG were fubar. acctually the game was at its best at the end of CU, and that was crap!

[papasmurf520]

@Spookyashell76 I see what you mean. Some people liked the CU however nah dude precu all the way.

[Spookyashell76]

@papasmurf520 I challenge you to show me a single video making pre-cu look good. selective memory is funny and it fooled me too after I lost it for first a fubar CU (But CU was acctually the best version at the end of CU) and then the totally f'ed up NGE. NGE was a disaster and probably the biggest F'up in game development history. What were they thinking. Even the programmers told the NGE designers: We shouldn't do this, we simply can't do this. But they were overruled!

[DarthXile1]

@papasmurf520 Says the idiot who failed to realize I'm bashing both versions for being absolute shit. And what fucking learning curve? Pre-CU, you use a blaster you gain xp in blasters. NGE you just gain XP. Wow, what a learning curve, however could people figure it out.

[papasmurf520]

@DarthXile1 Both versions? There were three versions. Precu, CU and NGE. And maybe even more dunno I left after the NGE launched.

Hey man I had a lot of fun grinding. It's a little weird bashing a game you never played. You get ur heat from total hearsay even if it's mildly correct.

[The123dsd]

I love your shirt

[TheMuffGoblin]

when the game was populated I liked the player housing and cities, it didn't seem like an empty world because it wasn't, I'm surprised anyone played after 2005, loved the game pre-nge

[drayofchilastra]

The stuff on this guy's wall tells his life history. Just sayin.

[Acisao]

wut the hell are you talking about you dont know shit about swg.............. noob gtf

[DarthXile1]

@Acisao Yes, A two year vet noob. I'm sorry your favorite game is a giant pile of shit.

[Acisao]

@DarthXile1 k im a 3 year vet and starsider has a shit load of people on it bro

[DarthXile1]

@Acisao I know, I was on Starsider, Just another one of the many to easily defeat Shitrom and the Kun family. But the population of one single server is not the topic of this drunken rant I made. It is the many many faults though out the entire game.

[MrUNITEDTiLLiDIE]

@DarthXile1 are you looking forward to SW:TOR or not?

[DarthXile1]

@MrUNITEDTiLLiDIE I'm absolutely looking forward to TOR. A promising Star Wars MMO? How could I not be?

[DarthXile1]

@MrUNITEDTiLLiDIE I'm absolutely looking forward to TOR. A promising Star Wars MMO? How could I not be?

[MrUNITEDTiLLiDIE]

@DarthXile1 i hear you bro, all these stupid ass SWG players whining that TOR isnt SWG, there shutting it down for a reason dammit

[walmartian]

lol he's dead on about the housing... tho i hav some epic house memories from SWG- I once hijacked a kids house by not leaving it when he wanted to move it.. another kid asked me for my stuff cause he thought i was xfering to Bria so I placed some house on Talus thats was like a 20 min drive from the closest shuttle port, and instead of my stuff it was alien NPCs dressed in exotic dancer gear and named appropriately after his mom and his boyfriends

[howdlej]

Total agree, after i leved up and completed 70% of the collections,heroics,quests and got maxed rank in pvp the game was just soo boring and no worth paying shit for.. and everything is just out of place. C'mon Sith and Jedi 'Meditation' rooms in the middle of no where when jedi are supposed to extinct

[CunningLinguist5]

Getting drunk and ranting about video games. You sir, are clearly a successful individual. Yep, the sky is the limit for you!

[DarthXile1]

@CunningLinguist5 Sounds like somebody just got their shit game insulted.

[marquez768]

You're absolutely right. btw nWo 4 life

[JosephHandibode]

DarthXile1, you have common sense. Too bad some SWG fans don't have a clue what fun is when it comes to games. Glad to see the horrible game close. Just don't want the crybabies coming to SWTOR.

[KingPadboy]

Surtak!

[bitchesh0es]

lmao. you my sir. are the greatest at rant videos.

[DarthXile1]

@bitchesh0es Thank you kind sir, I plan on ranting more about SWG, mostly cause it bothers me so much.

[JACKxTHExRIPPER]

hahaha nice. wookie tree wookie tree wookie tree
