Star Wars: The PVP Wars

It is my honest opinion having played the game from it's inital release until now that the game is far below what it used to be.

Role-playing is no longer an option. It's just not possible. There's no way to be a roleplayer in this game and have it be fun. Also, the game has been re-designed for the people who love to PvP, or do player vs player battles. For people like me, who don't enjoy PvP battles, this leaves very little to do.

The quests, almost exactly 8 months later, are still broken and not working. I've done a number of them (and attempted to on others) and while some work, for every 1 that does there's 5 to 10 that don't. A fine example is that when you hit a certain combat level or non-combat level with your character, you get items that initiate quests. All of these items post-30 are still broken.

When the game came out it was buggy, but it got better. Last november they made the game an over-glorified beta test, and it's to this date still no better than toilet paper.

Sony ruined this game!

The New Game Enhancements introduced ruined one of the best MMORPG's on the market. It is now just an ill conceived first person shooter with no direction. They removed over 20 professions from the game and the interface is now unusable. All the servers are ghost towns now and there is a mass exodus from the game. I do NOT recommend this game!!!!

Loved it but had to leave it

This was by far, the best MMO I've ever played. Granted I came in after CU but still I loved it and was part of CIO, a DJO guild. But because of the NGE, had to leave. There is nothing left to it. It plays more now like Unreal Tournament on a global scale with much of the substance that made this game the most unique MMORPG out there what it was. Smugglers can no longer smuggle, you're forced down one path, no more custom templates, etc. Sorry, pre NGE I would have given it 5 stars but now it's not even worthy of the one I'm forced to give it.

Don't waste your money on this game

I have played SWG for over a year and a half and I have a level 80 Jedi. The game is great in concept but it never reaches a point beyond a Beta game. SOE and LA have seen fit to totally alienate the player base with screw up after screw up. They avoid fixing bugs and keep pushing out new product. My recommendation for any one considering this game is to start looking at other games that are not SOE produced.

If you do buy this game just expect that you will be let down time and time again with promises made and always broken by Sony Online Entertainment.

By the way they just released a revamped version of the game that is so full of bugs you can not play it decently.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME

Sony has changed the game dramatically. The game is no longer a MMORPG, but a MMOFPS. People are leaving in droves. Do not get on this sinking ship.

Save your money. SWG is dead

I wont reiterate the many problems that have so many upset. I will just say that when 85%+ severely dislike the NGE on ALL websites with reviews I dont think it's just a vocal minority. Dont believe SONY propaganda, thats right,... there is in no way possible an "overwhelmingly positive" response to the ruinous NGE. Save...your...money!

Not worth it

Many people loved this game, but it is basically bug ridden and unplayable most of the time. When it first came out and there were beta testers, we knew we were beta testers for a while. We didnt expect to be beta testers for a full 2 years and then have the game completly change, have to beta test that one, and then when that one starts working, have them change it and beta test the thing fully again. I guess if you want the experiance of beta testing a game for a 15 dollar monthly fee and being a QA tester for a buggy game and having to pay on top of that, than this game is for you. If not, there are many other stable MMORPG's out there that will not have a complete overhaul 2 times within 6 months, and then be changed from a great MMORPG to a console game, shooter game with no real interesting story or characterization

Ruined by development

For 1.5 years this was an OK Game that needed some touchup... Then, over the past year, Developers have ruined everything that made it special.

Now, until they roll back this is an embarassment

the people at SOE are bait and switching liers

I've been playing this game for 2 years. It's riddled with bugs and Sony keeps making sweeping changes to the game instead of fixing the bugs. The latest sweeping change means that all my hard work put into attaining Jedi status was a complete waste of time. Sony didn't announce the changes until after they convinced many people to purchase their newly released expansion pack. This is one of the most deceitful tactics I seen a company practice to get money out of their subscribers. The game will soon be converted to a first person shooter for mindless hours of buttin mashing. I'd advise everyone to stay away from it.
