Almost there. New content great, rest of game buggy.

Hmm, the 400 people that played this game are upset that the business decided to make the game more attractive to the rest of the world. Go figure. Truth is I bought this game 3 years ago, played for about 3 days and said this game is BAD. They made the changes and I came back, now this game is half bad.

Been playing over about a month. The concept of the changes are wonderful. I like the how they setup the first 10 levels. The tutorial , training and introduction to the game is wonderful. Gameplay in the first few levels is very good. However, once you finish those first few levels and find yourself on the original content, beware. After the new content (the first 7 or so levels), the game becomes buggy on its best day, outright unplayable on normal days. They are starting in the right direction in concept. Execution however, is horrendous. The new content shows promise and shows that the devs can get something right. I just wished they fixed the rest of the game before they put out the good stuff. Seems like an unfinished product.

Most of this game presents itself like it is still in beta. All laws of physics appear ignored when you can walk through all walls, vehicles and furniture. It is almost as if there is no solid mass. When outside most of the walls or solid, its just the rest of the game is not, which just isn't realistic. I have not come across a single quest that hasn't been bugged in some way. NPC's can unhittable because the are stuck in a wall, (yes stuck in a wall), making it impossible to finish a quest. You know how there are some rare times in a game when an NPC is merged within a wall and you laugh at it, well in this game it is more common to be stuck within something that to not be. When you go to an NPC for a quest I have encounter many times when the chat bubbles are blank and you don't know what kind of quest the NPC is offering, if it is a quest at all and not just idle chatter. So you click on one of the empty areas and hope something good come out of it. I don't liek how they give level 2 or 3 newbies (like me in this case) level 64 missions. I have 3 missions that were given to me pre level 5 that I still have at lvl 22 and will have to keep until the 50 -65 range because I can't delete the quest and I can't kill the targets because the are all over level 50 something. Boy that drives me nuts. The bugs are everywhere so be ready to feel the frustration.

I like the games economy and the player cities are a great feature. There is lots of potential in the rest of the game however that has not yet been realized. Listen to me ramble. I love Star Wars and wish that this game was better than it is because I SOOOOO want to play a Star Wars MMO. But I want to play a good MMO and this one is not good.
