Star Wars Mailbag: The Sequel

Former Star Wars Galaxies Players Are Still Crying Foul

(CBS) 
Commando lets see, once upon a time commandos used flame throwers and grenades and other heavy weapons, now commandos uses Storm trooper E-11 carbines because thats "Star Warsy" oh and by the way, wanna be a commando in clone trooper armor just like the icon says? TO BAD there's an ARMOR RESTRICTION. Commandos CANNOT wear clone trooper armor which is what their ICON IS. All of the commandos old heavy weapons are DISABLED. Grenades are now just another carbine attack, the only difference is this attack flashes instead of zaps.

Spy was the greatest profession idea ever, it mixed Ranger(good sneak escape abilities) with pistoleer. However NGE released Spy with the lovely bug that their only specials were bugged and didn't work, so now your trying to spy on an imperial base.. oh wait SOE/LA REMOVED ALL THE IMPERIALS/REBELS AND THE WALLS FROM THE BASES CAUSE THEY WERE NOT STAR WARSY ENOUGH. Since when is a base not Star Warsy... Dantooniee,Hoth, Yavin, Endor.. don't make me go on. Since when were Storm Troopers guarding these bases not Star Warsy.. the only thing not star warsy about Storm Troopers is their wow accuracy. Oh and BTW Spies Iconic character is Boussh and guess what, you can't wear that kind of armor as a spy, you have to wear.. CLONE TROOPER ARMOR!

Medic... wow this is great. Medic is no longer a support class it is now a COMBAT class, the heals are horrible, the good thing about medic is well they do more dmg than JEDI. BTW guess what medics your based off of a droid with 2 lines. Oh and yea.. you can't wear droid armor AHAH YOU LOSE.

Trader.... worthless, the new loot tables drop guns so often and so much better than trader crafted items that there is no point other than engineer traders who can make droid.. oh but guess what as a trader you are the lowest combat.. your iconic guy is Lando who did some pretty nice blaster work for a Combat level 1..

Entertainer.. the ultimate slap in the face. now entertainer buffs are so dismal they are worthless. no one bothers with them. entertainers do little more than dance and pray some rich role-playing pervert comes and visit them.

What I don't understand is why SOE/LA instantly thinks that teens are gonna love the NGE, they did NO POLLING NO QUESTIONERS NOTHING to us. I do not know anyone that likes the new game as much or anything near as much as the old original day. I would take PERMA DEATH compared to this, at least then you had someone to die with now you have... your iconicness to die with.
