Was so much more fun before the NGE was released. Don't bother buying this game now.

I've played SWG for about 15 months now. Most of the time I had fun hunting, questing, just hanging out. Now, everything has changed.
The game is no longer fun to play. The fighting is too distracting. Before the change I was combat level 80 and could easily take out a group of CL75 creatures. Now, I am up to CL83 and have a hard time with 2 CL73 creatures. The special attacks don't work all the time, healing takes too long, and switching between special attacks (numbers 1 through 0 on the keyboard) while running (w,a,s,d keys) and keeping the enemy in focus with the mouse is just impossible. If you happen to accidentally shoot another NPC that happens to get between you and the mark, then you've got that creature coming after you, too.

Also, the game feels like a Beta. The quests don't work as expected. Creatures get stuck in building and rocks, so you can't attack them. The NPCs that give out quests are bugged. There is a cut scene when you travel to Mustafar, which was cool to see once, but now it just takes another 20 seconds to load the planet (also it has crashed the client on my a number of times). The options don't stay set. Inventory and chat windows don't always work as expected. I am sure there are others I can't recall at this moment.

Finally, the development team just sprang this huge change on the entire community. Folks that have been playing a long time, and have dedicated many hours to playing and having a good time. To me, this shows lack of care and responsibility to the people who have been supporting the game for so long. Some people may find the changes to their liking, but from my judgement most, including myself, do not like these "New Game Enhancements" and feel like we've just been slapped in the face.
