Endor itself is actually a gas giant. The world known as Endor is actually a moon, sometimes called the Sanctuary Moon or the Forest Moon.


And getting all the chat channels into one is handy when your in a cantina in an entertainer group and having discussions on /guild. You just have to keep the other boxes available when you need to read back.


Tip for entertainers: go into options, chat, and color the word "Tips" in such a way that it will be very visible. Then create another dialog box for system messages, so these tip messages stay up for at least 10 seconds and also removing the system messages from chat.

How about instead of the "Did you know..." thing you just update the page with the patch info at the same time as the patch itself goes live? It used to happen, it used to give you something to read while the patch downloaded.. Nowadays you're left in the dark until quite a lot of hours after the patch when the notes are updated... :-/

To use the ingame notepad, just type /notepad and it pops up. When you are done writing whatever you wanted to write, just close it, the notes will be there next time you type /notepad

Psyke,



hehe..that so funny cause its true, I have a friend doing pikeman. He is awesome at strategy but your so right when you say, couldnt hit the ground if he dropped his weapon. Its not him, its the profession. I know Im not a game dev, but all you need for dev except for coding is pretty much common sense.



pikeman is so broke...

I think for the players with 2 accounts it woud be nice to learn how to run 2 swg clients in a single windows profile.


Now as far as i know, and after reading all the licens agreement I belive that this woudent be an exploit.


I have found a way which does not require any changes to any existing swg files nor does it involve 3rd party software.


If interested I am more than willing to share.


Regards

How 'bout this for Monday:


Did you know...


We care more about fixing a profession that shouldn't even be in the game more than we do one of the most popular professions in the game. Read all about it in this week's Friday Feature.

Got one for you....

Did you know that the little tidbits on the server loading pages, there's alot of them with information that was outdated on release day, and is even more out of date now....

My favorite is one that says multiple scouts in a group will each be able to harvest a different resource, and shows a graphic of a radial menu that never made it to live....

Let me first say thanks. Updated info & tips are much welcome and I always believed one shouldn't have to visit these boards (or any website) in order to get the most out of a game.

That said, and not that I want to be negative or anything but isn't there already a place in game for these pieces of information in the planet loading screens? Yes, some of this info is severely wrong, and may be a client side thing currently and require much work to be able to be updated regularly, but why have the same types of information in 2 places? Why not revamp the loading screens instead of shifting to the already cluttered update notes window so people will actually see these notices when they play? The place in game seems to be already established for this type of message but instead of current tips it tells players totally wrong information like to insure your stuff so you don't have to do corpse runs. Why oh why can't these updated and relevant tips go there instead?

[if you haven't guessed, i hardly ever read the update notes screen. this game already takes so **edit** long to start and get into that i click through everything i can as fast as i can]
