Hello all. As most of you know, I have been in Austin the last day and a half. We have been testing out new changes to Star Wars Galaxies. While most people will be afraid and uneasy about the changes, I want to let you know about what is going on, and how things are going.

First, let me start by saying that combat has become more fun and is a better change for the game. No longer will it be all about mashing specials and the best weapon. This is a new system and is not a rehash of the old or current system. With that im mind, please keep an open mind.

Now coming will be a drastic change in skills. There will be 9 classes as follows:

Smuggler, Bounty Hunter, Commando, Medic, Force Sensitive, Officer (think SL), Tradesman, Entertainer, Spy. Poli and Pilot will remain unchanged.

Most experience can no be either quest based or grinding. With skills will come abilities as well as rewards. Crafters will have 4 sub crafters. I will not get into the large scale of the changes. As there are others that are also having things to say about it.

Basic points, entertainers and crafters will no longer draw agro unless they pick a fight. There are drastic changes to the way that specials work. I will be writing up basic 0.1 guides when I get back home tonight. Those will be in more detail.

As for TC itself, please hear me before you go nuts on this.

TC will be put in stasis for a week or two to start out. These are drastic changes that need to be worked and tested from level 1. After that, TC will be brought up to test mid to high level as well as /respec. The detalis on this will be each person gets 10 respecs on which the 10th will be permanant. You cannot change your skills anymore, what you start is, is what you are. No surrendering and re-grinding.

AND ALSO THERE WILL BE NO BLUE FROGS SO DON'T EVEN THINK OF ASKING!!!!!!!!!!!

I know TC does not want another mothball. I did all I could, but the fact remains that we need low newbie testing. I did manage to get you all notice. Please use it to the fullest.

I will leave the rest of the details to other people who were here as well.

Well guys, I honestly don't know what is going on. Apparently the above info is legit, but I certainly wasn't told about it

The most stunning news is the streamling of the professions. Bounty Hunter will still exist but I have no idea in what form

I'll be keeping my mouth shut for now, but I'll be posting more information as it is made available

I will also be unsticking all other threads as this is easily our most pressing issue at the moment

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(*EDIT*)

I said I'd post more information as it was made available. The following info regarding Bounty Hunter was posted by Tiggs on the New Game Enhancements FAQ

• Bounty Hunter = Boba Fett

Bounty Hunters chase the worst foes in the galaxy. You will learn to use whatever dirty tricks you must to bring your prey down. When someone needs an enemy taken care of, they hire Bounty Hunters to do their dirty work. Tracking down and eliminating people are what Bounty Hunters do best. As a Bounty Hunter, you must learn the tricks of ambush and assault so your prey does not escape.

General Skills:

Ranged Combat

Bounty Hunting

Melee Combat

Capture Techniques

Specials:

Ambush - high-damage special ranged attack

Razor Net – slows your opponent's movement and damages him, too!

Merciless Onslaught – very high damage attack

Will Bounty Hunter missions and other missions still be located on my datapad?

Yes, you will still see mission terminal quests on your datapad. However, there will no longer be Bounty Hunter missions that target other players, they are only NPC based going forward, and these will appear in your Quest Journal.

As for being BH Missions/Quests.

I did not get to try the terms, but as for doing BH stuff. You do quests from the onset of the game. Level one, your first bounty target is like level 3. So there is not really an investigation grind like before. The bounty quests part gives XP/Rewards/Skills.

Oh yea I forgot. BH would get an ability to "scan" NPCs to see if they have a bounty attached to them, kinda like SW:Bounty Hunter I would imagine.

Amazing that they want to push this live in 3 weeks with only a small handful of correspondents even knowing it existed.

Sounds to me like another Combat Upgrade. Maybe the new system will be more of an ubgrade rather then the downgrade we've gotten over thr passed severla months. Unfortunately I dont like what I've read so far. I guess I'll just have to wait and see though. This game has been such a waste of time.

Hey Sam,

Did SOE get the boot? Seems like that starter kit on amazon was legit afterall. I just wondered if LA was taking complete control(would explain about the lack of knowledge about this new cu).

Well I think players who stuck around after the CU are going to be mortified lol!

what was once an intricate work of art is not going to be effectively killed and turned into just another game.

/yawn I wonder if anyone out there is watching the bottom line?

Julio Torres needs to be fired.

My account has been canceled.

Thank you for taking my money and royally messing up a game I enjoyed above all that I have played in my 6 years of online game play.

Thank you for reminding me why I boycotted Sony and most online games.

Thanks for all the fish.

Seeing that my guild is all Bounty Hunters, look forward to more accounts going bye-bye.

Basically they have dumbed the game down further. it's a first person shooter, an online version of KOTOR if you will, hehe.
