A cursory google seems to indicate that Ciprian Carausu is a former MMA fighter/current Brazilian jiu jitsu coach. So MMO development is definitely right in his wheelhouse.

Legends or the CU one? If it's Legends, it's in the NGE so you just follow the quest line. If it's the CU one, well, you just....do whatever. You can start by doing Mission Terminal missions? Grab two missions in the same direction, head out, kill stuff, repeat.

The CU one. I guess I've been spoiled by all these modern games holding my hand that I forgot that I used to have to hit my head against a wall for a few weeks before a game started to make sense!

SWG CU is more of a PvE sandbox game. I want more MMORPGs like this, but they are always PvP focused instead, or they are New World.

“We don’t really know where this goes — and I’m not sure we really care.”
My most fun online experiences in the last 10 years have been PvE private servers for survival games like Ark, Conan, and Valheim with my friends.

I'm glad Valheim focused on PvE, can't believe how many games shovel in lovely PvP. Outside of online FPS games, PvP blows rear end. Companies need to stop wasting time and resources on a gameplay aspect that always fails.

If I want to fight other players I'm playing Battlefield, not some MMO or survival game.

Yep. I find it funny reading through so many negative Ark reviews about how awful the PvP is. Why would anyone subject themselves to hardcore PvP against random idiots online?

The next full loot full pvp MMO that will totally succeed is right around the corner. Every single other one failed for other reasons, we swear.

Agreed. Lost Skies is the private server PvE version of Worlds Adrift now and I'm pretty excited for that now too.

SWG chat: The CU server (Restorations) also has a quest line you pick up at the beginning and it leads you through the game. I will say, the quest didn't give me a weapon upgrade until I was almost ready to give up and call it because mobs were respawning faster than I could kill. Finally got a weapon from the quest line and it's clean sailing now. Working on Pistoleer and Medic.

Every time I try and get back into SWG I give up because everyone is just AFK farming junk loot for perfect armor patches or whatever.

I'll be honest, I remember playing SWG back in its 'prime' and to me the game was a mess of half finished incoherent ideas and ridiculous grinding gameplay with the occaisional fight between rancor and AT ST pets swarming all over the place. Maybe it's because I never got into the crafting, but half of the classes, abilities, skills, and gameplay systems seemed to be just hopelessly broken.

Should try the new Starship Troopers fps, it's got base building and limited persistent progression with 3 classes to unlock gear options for. 16 player co-op only!

It's ok. The game is in a real rough state still I think, but there's potential. Seems like it's definitely going to be annoying as poo poo if you wanna be F2P though, so much crap needed to unlock other characters. Solo is fine but group content also seems really wack (but that's prob due to beta) I did a boss via matchmaking and it was just a giant slog, nothing dangerous or engaging but the boss had a billion HP so it took like 15mins to kill.

If Wayfinder is in a rough state now, then chances are its going to stay that way unfortunately, if beta testing MMORPGs for the last 20 years is any indication.
