Why I QUIT Star Wars Galaxies!

So basically, you sucked at the game, and so you didn't like it anymore. Roger that.

I call shenanigans on the details of this tale, due to the fact that when it came to purchasing faction bases:

A - It was not a group activity. Only a single player made the purchase for a regular old inventory item. There was no true "guild" aspect to the mechanics. While technically players could transfer points to others to "contribute", this leads to....

B - The currency involved, Faction Points, was absurdly abundant and easy to farm. Buying a faction base was no big accomplishment at all. They were literally made to be destroyed. And finally...

C - Bug or not, no noob guild puts a single base in the center of town thinking it would somehow be secure. Standard practice was 3 with the entrances in close proximity with overlapping turret fire.

So, as they say, "cool story bro", but it sounds to me like you either did not really play SWG, or perhaps you were a drooling toddler at the time and didn't really understand what was going on.

play SWG legends, it's better than live ever was

Come and join SWGemu

1.0 release is almost there

I still play it to this day 😄

I quit because of the CU.

Apparently you are a super lover, dude it's a pvp mmo you should expect adversity

Best game ever made! Valor/Eye Shot. Rebels rule!

You pansy 😅 🤣 😂

Not the Mist (or generic Housing place) music from FFXIV playing in the background

This is how his villain arc begins 😂

I just hit f1 and kill noobs

Sounds like you were bad at the game I mean if you were the biggest imperial guild and you couldn't defend it 😅

How can one still play this game? I just missed out on it growing up and I’ve always wanted to get into it

Sounds like you need to make a comeback :)

You could lag switch this game. Id solo entire player made cities doing so. Turn off interenet, run to where ever in city, turn on internet. Rubber band slightly and boom inside passed defences.

And yet I'm still playing emulators of it all this time later

Weak

so bad at urban planning and pvp?

So basically you quit because you wanted to troll and the game didn't let you 😂 good on swg

All this just to die to zoning laws

I heard of this, not sure if it was my server but I heard of it. Imperial guilds got raided A LOT due to those bases, because they made such huge and easy targets for Rebel guilds to kill and farm for Faction.

I guess this is a case of play dumb games with your base placement win dumb prizes with rebel attacks.

When did jessy cox become based? I remember watching the co optional podcast, and he just always felt like a fanboy, but now he doesn't feel like that anymore. What changed? What broke him

Shave

I would love for Jesse to play Star Wars galaxies now, some people have now brought it back

as someone whos never heard of star wars galaxies this sounds like the everyday Rust experience

swg shut down 2012. move on dude.

i loved that game some of my best mmog memories

You can still play it

When I first played starwas commander; the rocks and rubble were part of my wall defences. I learned the enemy found a tech to walk through rock and rubble. I was soo mad I requested my $20 refund I payed for time/building. Who's laughing now Disney. Nobody, because you killed the dreams of 90s 2000s babies, ever since your white glove hands got to Lucas arts entertainment. Sorry for the folks that bought ea battlefront series. No one won! There was light and dark; then there is Walt Disney! How are you enjoying your governship in Florida BTW waltdisney?

You are not an imperial until you leave a critical location unprotected... they death star'd your ass.

Oh Galaxies....how I still miss you like sweet summer breath of a lost love.

You love to see it gone 😅 thank god i don't play mmos/games that does this

Sounds like that's a Jesse problem...

This is going to happen in Star Citizen and people are going to be like. "I waited 15 years for this shit?"

I had a lot of fun playing with my dad and brother on galaxies, sometimes I miss that game

The moral of this story?
Dont be a massive aggro troll.

ah the shadowbane problem

Isn't having a glaring vulnerability in your base rather on-brand for the Empire?

I quit SWG when the NGE came out. It was...terrible.

(Someone did do a great SWG machinima around that time with "This Used To Be My Playground" as the music. Although the music video someone did in SWG for MC Chris's "Fett's Vette" is still my favourite.)

"It's all about that base, 'bout that base; no rebels."

I mean, seems pretty on brand for the Imperials.

Hey

I played a wookie with a big ass gun.

I got my ass handed to me by a space camel.
At the point I realized I was reading a book while waiting for the game to let me play it again, just so I can get my ass kicked by pathetic wildlife?

I noped out so hard.

Imperial marched hiscway outta there

My cousin used to be obsessed with Star Wars Galaxies and at that time I was playing classic WoW. Whenever we hung out we'd swap stories of crazy stuff that'd happen in our respective games; really miss those times.

Dang, i just lost some great weapon's stats in the "Combat Upgrade" (that i worked hard for, beating AFK bots in the Batcave...) but that led to the same thoughts. And still crawled back after a few months, not much before the Benny Hill of Warcraft update.
