SWG Chronicles Review

Or, SWG: Chroniclulz.

It turns out this was not very well put together. What are the odds of THAT happening?

I - As a Chronicle MASTER, you will actually be able to create the same lame quest and mission content already existing in the game.

II - But now, it costs YOU and the BUYER credits to do so. If you create a mission with a 10,000 credit reward, that money comes out of your own pocket. You therefore have to sell it on bazaar for 10,020 to break even. The buyer pays that much, and is rewarded 10,000 credits, so they lose money too. It's a no-win situation.

III - In order to accomplish this, you are loading up your inventory with stack after stack of chronicle relics that you can't use yet. There is little or no inventory left on anybody as it is, so these are thrown away (sold to the junk dealer) anyway.

IV - I spent the whole night creating quests, and I am now 1/10th of the way to the next level of chronicle master, a grind equivalent to Everquest days of boring stacked upon boring.

My hope was that Chronicles would bring Star Wars content to SWG via the players. But there is nothing in Chronicles that equates to Star Wars content, therefore it's just the same old same old crap only the players now have to PAY their own money to deliver that crap to play.

Chronicles is a failure.
