I
truly believe, that SOE did not plan to make this SWG a PvP
game, that is why at first the penalties for PvP death were so
steep. The game's mechanics were too buggy to support it, the
problems we saw from launch are evidence of it.
But we
surprised them, we formed groups and dropped bases, we
assembled huge raiding parties, and defenders fought
heroically, the penalties merely introduced an intensity in
SWG PvP that could not be found anywhere else. We bonded, we
experienced both honor and betrayal, and discovered things
about ourselves that rarely come to the surface IRL.
You
who were a part of it, felt your heart skip a beat as you read
this.
SOE missed the boat, they read the boards, saw
the flames, the marketers kept playing this game as an easy to
play game, had they come forward and presented it as the
challenge that it is, Pre-CU would have worked. But there were
no SWG devs in the front lines of those epic battles, except
to manage the /reports that came in or to manage "another bug"
with the bases.
In round two ...
Bases returning
... PvP bases, not the combatant bases of the past.
New and Improved GCW
Bases
- All new player-placed PvP Galactic Civil War bases
- Brand new heavy weapon emplacements that all players can
use to defend the bases
- E-Web Heavy Repeating Blaster
- Mortar Emplacements
- Various manned turrets
- And more!
- Exciting new interior puzzles and obstacles to
overcome
- All new base destruction dynamic with Officer-specific
activity sets
They now know. And
this time, it's all they have left for endgame content. We
thought it could never happen again. SOE may just be about to
prove us wrong.

I half agree. Yes, SWG has an immensely strong PvP base,
and less on the PvE, but we need a balance. i love doing FUN
quests that require TEAMWORK and overcomming obstacles and
traps. SWG has none of this, but D&D will and GW has a
little bit. it gives an extraordinary sense of a team and
such, and is very fun. Yes, however, I do agree with your
point. SWG never realized this was meant to be a light jedi v
dark jedi and reb v imp player game.

And with the ability to change status w/o

Aturi, by time you
arrived in our universe, Player bases were:
- Easily obtainable
Though inflation in the game
made millions of credits very commonplace, the price of
faction never went up. Smuggler faction was capped once, the
caps were later removed. Also, the amount of faction needed
to purchase a base was greatly reduced, if you were on a
planet controlled by your faction (and there was always
one), you could get them for under 20k.
Originally, it
cost 60k faction for a Detachment HQ, only a Colonel was
able to hold that much faction.
And just to reach
Colonel, it required a 60k faction grind, all the while
attackable by other players, and certain species had even
more obstacles, on the imperial side.
- Attackable by PvE players
The "combatant
base", and the addition of ranged cybernetic arms with RoTW,
one could actually dismantle a base without even drawing
aggro. Players would drop bases and watch them be destroyed,
without so much as the opportunity to defend them. On my
server, most Base busters would raid bases Special Forces
out of pure nostalgia.
And as I write this
today, they are gone.
It isn't your fault, and it isn't
fair to you.
We who participated in the great conflicts,
the dramatic and valorous battles over bases in 2004, we
failed the newer players, who would never have the chance to
be a part of PvP so soul-gripping.
We went to the
forums and flamed each other, we reported others for
exploiting constantly, we complained about unfairness, we
whined, we had tantrums. That is the nature of being involved
in a truly intense conflict.
SOE was not there, they
did not see us experience the powerful bond that seals
friendships, fighting together to preserve what we had built
together, they never saw true valor on display, all they heard
was the excessive whining and flaming, the complaining and
reporting about exploits and bugs.
I know all too well
these players who failed you, I am one.
I can only say
that as SOE listened to our whining, and slowly rendered the
base wars insignificant, culminating in disabling them, we all
realized just what we had lost, and later what we had cost the
future players of SWG.
There are many game vets who no
longer play, whose names are forever carved in legend, who
want the epic base wars of the past to stay in the past, so
that their own legacies can never be surpassed by the newer
players who they see as undeserving. On the other hand, I see
in talented newer players like you Aturi, who want so badly to
fight for something worthwhile, and cannot find it now, a
potential for real leadership, to achieve something greater
than a list of people you have dueled and beaten, or a pile of
badges. I have read your posts, and many of your ideas are in
search of real challenge, not just individually, but with your
chosen friends, and even your entire faction.
And at
long last, with their backs in a corner, I believe that this
time SOE understands what they must do, to bring back the
GCW.
Publish 30. The best yet to
come.

I agree with you 100%.
As an ex-GCW Correspondent, and a long time GCW fanboi, I
loved the base wars of the old days. I got so involved,
it almost cost me my fiance. Atarius is talking about a
challenge...
I remember gathering together with 90 some odd rebels, to
try and take any 1 of 4 hot imperial HQ's, from a defending
force of around 150 Imperials. Housewalls with itty
bitty alleys in them surrounding the bases, with a cloner 200m
away. Notorious CMs on both sides digging out their
nastiest poisons.
The slideshow that commenced once the action began.
"I'm killing him!" /flip
"Take that! /flip
"I'm ... dead? W T F?!?! I was just at full
health! lol /flip
and so on..
There has never been a more exciting time in all my years
of electronic gaming (we're talking since Pong here) and
nothing since has come close. I know a lot of WoW die
hards who still feel the same way.
If they get the GCW right this time... have some foresight
into possible ways to abuse the systems they come up with, I
predict a massive return of players, as well as a genrous
influx of new players once the word hits the street.
E-Web blasters? How long have we asked for
those?
Publish 30 is going to blow the people who play this game
away.
Oh, and I hear your Rebel yell, and silence it with the
Imperial Boot Stomp.

Cause and effect.
GCW and pvp were both very important in the beginning.
People fought for hours between Bestine and AH. Then we raided
bases non-stop, without any reward or a reason to do so, just
for bragging rights. But there are only so many times you can
repeat something.
They ignored our problems, most important ones being
turrets and cms for months, then we got bored, stopped pvping,
stopped raiding bases, hardcore people started
leaving the game, SOE nailed the coffin with their stupid
GCW revamp unleashing base planting all over the planets. So
what happened ? Very few pvpers and GCW players were left. Now
they will revamp GCW ? Wooohoooo...too late.
All they needed to do were fixing stupid man-controlled
turrets which were shooting 15 times per second, reducing dot
damage and giving us a reason / award for raiding / defending
bases. Here is your revamp.
Please allow me to
introduce myself; I'm a man of wealth and taste. I've been
around for a long, long year, stole many a man's soul and
faith Oropher, the Fallen So if you meet me, have some courtesy, have
some sympathy, and some taste. Use all your well-learned
politesse, or I'll lay your soul to waste The Plural of Jedi is JEDI. 1 Jedi, 2 Jedi, a
bazillion Jedi Pleased to meet you,
hope you guessed my name, but what's confusing you is just the
nature of my game Guardian of
Darkness Just as every Rebel is a
criminal, and all the sinners saints..as heads is tails..just
call me Emperor's Hand 'cause I'm in need of some restraint.

I not only /agree with
you Auraboron, but I can tell you that it is already
happening.
I have already seen an influx of returning
players, as well as a growing enthusiasm among newer players,
because of the announcement of publish 30. Among the players
who are gone, and I talk to them daily, it is hard to find a
single one who does not plan to come back when publish 30
hits, at least to check it out.
Oh, and btw Ivoiv, you
still know how to show a lady a good time

And people are secretly putting Embassy houses in or
adjacent to enemy cities.

Be Ready.
The sun you see low
to the horizon is not a sunset, but a newly rising
one.
Yes!

that is why
at first the penalties for PvP death were so steep.
What penalties? There were no penalties
for PVP death when the game first came out.

Ever since they started
deviating from the GCW by taking battlefields out and cutting
this and that out I became bitter with each surgical
rip.
I remember the pre-CU days when
the PvP was extremely exciting, I mean I actually had
adreniline running through me in some of those battles. I am
very much am disappointed that a great many of the post-cu and
NGE people can never experience what we had. I mean, to all
the people that battled in those far gone battles, there is no
way to convey that experience. I've only had an adreniline
rush from sky diving (and a few other things )before that, IT
ROCKED!
I got the Access pass with my
main main account to play Planetside and EQ 2 with some
friends...there was an ulterior motive though, as I cursed and
flamed the CU then the NGE, I hoped that those days could
return. My main problem was the absolute stripping of the GCW
from SWG. I mean COME ON I bought the game
and I watch Starwars for the Good Vs. Evil, the Big Bad Empire
Vs. The Rag Tag Rebellion. I wanted to be caught up in the
Galactic Civil War from the movies!
Jedi, are the focal point of the
story told int he movies and some would say its all about the
jedi, but I would say "Jedi are only a story in a larger weave
of a epic tale, they, like us, have been caught up in the
Galactic Civil War. It is THROUGH the
Galactic Civil War that Jedi and Sith wage their battle,
not smothering it like The Views chicks on a
cheesecake."
Anyways I digress, I'll get to
the point, patch 30 brought a renewed interest back to SWG for
me. But, I still haven't forgotten the bitter past
SOE...amazing how long the human mind can hold memories
