Thread: Thoughts on the Warren?

Hey there everyone--


I know there's a lot of other issues going on that need to be dealt with, but in my new role I am less connected to the day to day running of the game than I used to be. So I don't have too much to say about something like "did the T21 fixes make it out or not, and if so, why not?" or "why are the harvester hoppers smaller?" I have to refer those issues to other folks these days.


But I am very curious about the reception of the Warren. For those who don't know, it's a major new dungeon with a different type of content than what we have done in the past. This dungeon was explicitly designed to try to tackle some of the issues mentioned with content in SWG in the past. It took us a while to do, and we learned a ton in the process, and I'd like to know what people think of it.


Does it suck? Does it rock? Is it a good model for the type of content that you've been wanting? Is it all wrong? Let us know here.

No clue.


Thanks to the armor bug, my flamer now counting as a rifle(2.5x damage to me from melee), and vendors not working (making it rather hard to get pet stims for my GSP) I'm in no condition to explore new stuff.

It is on Dantooine. I don't want to give away spoilers for those who don't want it, so I will say that if you an advanced message search on "warren location" you will find it there.

I think it rocks, and it's fun, too. The part that is the most fun is to read the stories on all of the terminals. I can see lots of potential in further additions.

Looking foward to it. Sounds interesting. Please fix the major combat issues first. As it is now, combat is very frustrating(no AR/AP, pet AI, instability/lag). Then I will be happy to comment more.

Holo who???


Well I made the trek, thought it was weird there were no exteriors guards or defenses whatsoever, then upon trying to enter I was told something to the effect of "you do not have the proper passkey." /shrug


So I ran around above it and tabbed to see what was inside (if it's a cyborg huurton, could you at least do something to make it visibly a cyborg, like make it/color it metallic some?) I guess I got some free and easy scout xp out of it by running above-ground a lil.



(Plz give scyks, dragonets and rylls their own models, same with wrixes and gurrecks plz.)


(Wookieeroar still seems borked too.)

Well, the game is in a non-playable state right now, and I checked it out myself...



Boy, does it look cool, butyou really need a tank if you're going in with an average sized group, and since pet resists and armor isn't working right, I'm not gonna bother working on it gets fixed.

Please for god's sake give us some info about AR/AP relation problem. My T21 does the same damage as mylvl2 rifle. I dont udnerstand why you guys keep ignore this with so many threads asking for a replyin different forums.

Not trying to ignore it, just juggling a lot of things at the moment.


The armor item is on the checklist posted in the Announcements forum:









Armor is not working or stopping damage at all. Yes 10-Oct It is reducing damage, but not at the correct amount (much lower then it should be). We're currently investigating this..


Anyone who has not been checking out that checklist, please do check it out--we're tryng to make sure there's a clear Known Issues list for you to refer to, and we'll be updating it as new info comes out.
