Smedley at Fan Faire just announced that the Battle for Echo Base will in fact be brought in as an instance. Imperials will be able to Battle with ATST's or snow speeders if your on the rebel side. Will be a complete layout of the entire station that will have something to do with rebel vs imperial in a hurry up and get the stuff out of the base if ur rebel. And an Imperial side invasion focused to stop the rebs from evac.
Also they are bringing back life day again this year and a Halloween type event.

Yay! They've finally won my account back! It's just what I've always wanted!!!
FALSE: I do not want to play swg
And it will work just as well as the rest of the game............
Uhhh...... yeah......
Looking forward to this, and the rest of the game works just fine. At least the vets can't say this is recycled from Pre-CU
I imagine the next major effort to bring back vets (with a free trial, of course) will happen right after this comes out.
If there is a free trial, I'll of course check it out. Dunno what my Jedi toon has to do with a battle that had like two FS types present at it, and only one of them ignited a lightsaber at the battle, but what the hey...
CH, Jedi, Commando, Smuggler, BH, Scout, Doctor, Chef, BE...yeah, lots of SWG time invested.

Would be nice but it's instanced and that totally goes against what the game was about for me so still not going to come back.
hoth should have been introduced as a adventure planet a long time before the NGE fu***d this game up
to little to late for this vet
QFT
Actualy Hoth was officialy announced earlier this year, and Lifeday never went anywhere they are just bringing back the adventure element that was assosiated with it.

Yes , the Battle for Echo base was perviously announced but WoW that Chris Fields and SOE likes to pretend that its really the fifth anniversary of the Game .
Its the Fifth anniversary of the Original Game yes but its going to be 2 more years - 10/15/10 for the fifth anniversary of the NGE - an anniversary unobtainable.
Unaware of the Jestor?

I HAEV TO SUCRIB3 N0W!
I'm sorry but how can you say this game works fine, every single instance you go in is bugged in one way or another. I would try and list them but tbh there are just too many:)
As for the hoth instance all the time i played this was 1 of the consistant wants, along with decent changes to profs(and look how thats turned out:(). I am considering going back to try this(only been gone a short while so guild is still there). However i'm not getting my hopes up. I'm expecting it to be bugged and flawed beyond belief, completely unbalanced due to the ludicrous stated items they've introduced and just another half-arsed attempt to introduce something wanted to the game.
Expect the Hoth instance and especially the vehicles to be horribly buggy, like every other thing they do.
I think that this new instance is a platform for testing out vehicle combat for other games, most likely, the Agency.
Indeed, it seems every aspect of the NGE, from the NGE itself to every change implemented during the NGE period, has been a test bed for their other games.

Really the instances are bugged? I run them daily and I do not see how they are "bugged". I know you all want to be popular on this site by slamming SWG but just saying stuff like "the game is horrible", all content is bugged" just is not true.
I have run many of them as well and most of the bugs are occasional and/or not gamebreaking, but many people have had problems with them that are worse than my personal experience (especially people who use pets and things I do not use), unless of course there is a hidden cabal of false reporting going on on the official boards. I suppose that is possible, but I tend to doubt it.

I know this is probably going to be considered off-topic at some point but how the existing instances play and are bugged for me is essential to new instances coming up
first off i try to post as honest as possible for anyone thinking of trying games to be kept as informed as possible
i wouldn't say the bugs are occasional more just not constant and can change each time you go in and no not all bugs can kill the instance but some definitely do
most constant bug i came across was people being kicked from the mustafar instances, only part of the group gets to go in they exit, you try again and a dif part of the group gets in each time, took someone 3 days just to complete the beetle cave because of this
part from this how about going onto the vettes and the walls, ceilings and floors being invisible and having to fight stormtroopers floating in space
.
Tusken heroic where the civs jump off the roof or wandering back and forth for no reason into the tuskens spawning outside, they die u fail.
Axvar Min where none of the npc's will take any damage no matter what element u use against them.
Even went into IG-88 where I didn't take any damage at all lol pity everyone else did
on there own you may consider these type of thing gamekillers or not for me it's because they seem intent on making all instances group only and to spend sometimes up to 3hrs to get a group together, go in, it bugs and you fail is just not good anyway you look at it
I liked how you could purposly bug the IG-88 instance everytime by having 1 person enter as the two large droids comes out, making them target the mouse droids instead of you and making the instance easy to do in less than 10 minutes. Has that been fixed? The ISD instance, where you fight until the squad commander spawns, well sometimes he NEVER spawns. Exar Kun, where someone's pet got perma stuck in the last part of the instance, preventing the room to spawn.
Oh the Mustafar Beetle cave instance, lol, that's one bug that's never been fixed (less likely now, nobody goes to Musty).
Assuming for a second that the timeline has been totally and completely distorted, I get the feeling that this Hoth instance is not going to be what many peple expected.
Firstly, it's a PvE experience only right? The single most "iconic" battle in SW lore and already it's failing to achieve what people wanted for Hoth - a PvP battle.
Next, although vehicle combat sounds promising it loses some of it's thrill IMO because of the PvE only experience. Also it'll likely be a very linear experience accounting for only a portion of the instanace. The usual vehicle freedom the game offers will likely not exist with these vehicles, but rather you'll likely be guided through a canyon or path of some kind.
And I even have my doubts that the player will have control of the vehicle at all. My guess is that the player may only be a passenger or only have control of a turret of some kind while the vehicle is controled by an NPC.
But who knows? Maybe I'm wrong, but my gut tells me I'm not far off.
Why don't they just completely port Battlefront 2 over and save the dev money?
I just can't comprehend why SOE doesn't see a difference between a FPS and a MMORPG. Yeah, FPS games are very popular, more than MMORPG's will probably ever be, but they're different genres, and I'm so tired of this trend of mashing the two togther.
Now as far as the vehics go...Ive seen agency trailors and that new free realms kiddy game their pushing. ANd it all looks like open field is the way SOE is going. This atm can go either way. And the 5 year beta test that is SWG does not give me a great hope as to this "new" idea working well. I truely do love the game and the people Ive met there. (Almost 90% were adults--refreshing) But this may be a little too late for the vets. I've been playing since beta and i'll be here when they shut the doors. I guess im into S&M or something.
Par for the course. SOE announces a pretty neat-sounding upcoming feature for SWG, and Jestor Frodo and his typical band of haters have to come in and tell us all how much they hate SOE and how much it's going to suck.
Take your negativity over to the "Vet" Refuge board. KTHXBAI
So I started to walk into the water. I won't lie to you boys...I was terrified. But I pressed on, and as I made my way past the breakers, a strange calm came over me. I don't know if it was divine intervention or the kinship of all living things, but I tell you, Jerry, at that moment ... I was a marine biologist.
Or you could just play Battlefront.

"Capitalism is currently working as intended."
Look, ya'll.
This is exactly the kind of Content that this game should've been recieving over the course of the past Five Years.
No, Meatlumps.
No, Exar-Koons
But this, Galactic Civil War content.
I'm going to follow this, and if it actually does turn out to look like fun, then I'll play it even. AT-STs and Air Speeders? Long time coming, I say... And it may darn well be fun. Whether this game is an overall Disappointment or not.
IG-88 instance takes my guild 5 to 8 min to complete, without using a exploit like you mention or any other. The ISD Squad commander always spawns in the instance, not always in the same place though, look to the large room where Krix spawns. I have never seen the pet problem you discribe. And all the Musty instances use the same entry system the heroics do now so there are not any entry problems.
I personaly run these instances daily and do not have the problems you describe, nor do I see other people having these problems
i personally was quite excited when they announced a space update, before this the only space quests where go there and shoot a couple of ships and follow a freighter from this point to this. I also had some multi player ships that i kitted and decorated and had absolutely nothing to do with them
after the space update i had some more quests that were go there and shoot a couple of ships(only with higher lvl ships) or escort a freighter from this point to this(only longer distances). A ground based combat instance. And a new multiplayer ship that takes how much grinding to get??? and still nothing to do with it
this may look like a good update but best not to get your hopes up about it
as for the rest of the game not being a problem in relation to this update because they added ludicrously stated items and buffs to heroics and collections u are likely going to need to be able to do the rest of the game without problems or u are going to get owned big time in this pvp instance
and as for a long time coming - hell yes how many years and they MAY( and i repeat MAY) be actually adding some real Star Wars content to a Star Wars game. If (big IF) this update works whatever the devs were given to create this could they be given it again and maybe they'll do something right with the rest of the game
