I was finally able to track the login Bug


Steps in order to reproduce it :



  1. Start the SWG Client

  2. Type in the Password

  3. Let the Patcher Check and if needed Patch

  4. Now open a Browser (im using MS-IE), and login to the Board using the Loginbutton on the Mainforum.

  5. (PS : What is the difference between the sign in option i see on the Server specific board and Login on the Main one anyway ? it brings up different Login Windows)

  6. Then go back to the Patcher and push Play, and you will get a : Your not subscribed to Starwars Galaxies Msg.

Hope this helps

Ok an update to my previous posting:


1) I understand why you start in Coronet now, you get a travel voucher to go anyplace you want within one hop of Coronet free of charge. But, travel voucher does not have an option to "use" it on its radial menu. If you buy a ticket somewhere, it does not use the voucher, it simply takes your money. My only guess is that you have to drag and drop it on the ticket terminal, although there are no instructions saying you need to do this. (I haven't tried this yet so I'm not sure this works either)


2) medic droid does offer the first mission now, to find and enter a medical center. I found and entered the NU medical center with no results. I also found and entered the medical facility in Theed with no results.


3) Kudo's on the new player vehicle rental. It only gives you 5 calls for the vehicle, but will anger any noob when their ride auto-stores on them when they dismount. I want to correct this though, I dismounted at the Theed medical center and I thought the speederbike auto-stored when actually I found it a while later halfway across town along a path I had traveled to get to the med center. (about 200m away)


4) your helperdoid does not show as a blip on your radar until you target it. When you untarget, the blip goes away again.


5) the brawler helper droid missions all work to the end. The only strange part was when it gave me an extra knife to accompany the existing newbie knife. (I should have thought to check the serial numbers of them)



Overall, looking good. The thought process involving new players starting is extremely welcome and a great move on the part of SOE.

tested and recreated for QA: bleeds.


bleeds wound secondary stats. example: mindshotx wounds focus or willpower (let's say a single shot does 10-50 wounds to one of the two). every shot will reroll the wounds on those stats: start with 100 wounds in each secondary, and let a player land a bleed... your secondaries will reroll from ZERO and apply from there, rather than from 100 (or whatever your wounds may be). wounds to primary stats still stack.



couldn't get marksman or medic starter quests to work.


entertainer quest now bypasses the ID requirement for wooks... but when it instructs me to go to a cantina or theater, nothing happens.



a spawn of DW hooligans and a SUPERBATTLEDROID (caps are mine) has been appearing near the 0, 0-ish ewok village. is this a warp from the cave? or are the DW venturing out to get a tan and some furry slippers?

Vehicles stilllose their customisation whenyou leave themout, take a shuttle, then store it and call it again.

AOE's are going right through walls. not good.

vehicle repairs and customization don't always stick... storing, repairing/customizing, and storing seems to be a workaround... but it's still a bug. with the 'auto-repair' bug fixed, this needs some attention.

vehicles can be cloned... this is related to the problem with repair/customization stickiness, but I can't recreate it on demand yet. still trying to figure out what causes it.

I created a TC character last night. I was doing survey missions for metal with a mineral survey device. All of a sudden the survey device stopped working. No error message no nothing. Whatever I did I couldn't get it to work. I changed to a chemical survey device it worked, flora it worked. Back to the mineral it did not work. I had to delete the mineral survey device and use a new one for it to work.


What I think I did was try to use the survey device while burst running. I will see if I can recreate the error. I could understand if I got an error message, can't survey while running or something, but I got nothing. When I tried to sample said I couldn't sample while surveying. Somehow I think it got stuck in survey without returning any data. Maybe I was covering ground too fast for the limited 64m range.

Isn't the voucher a reward item for doing one of the newb missions? Free shuttle ticket, free clone, and limited use vehicle rental were items I thought I got from doing the newb missions.

Come to think of it, I don't think I had these items until I finished my noob brawler quests. When Icompleted the first one I think fireworks appeared in my inventory. For the life of me I don't remember seeing anything else other than my clothes, 2 knives, and the famed Ub3Rmelon in my inventory when I first spawned in Coronet.


Oh and it looks like a scroll. Same graphic as the "get out of cloning center free" scroll. Ooh, yeah you get one of those too.

Double Death Blow to NPCs


NPCs are able to be killed twice.


Prob happens about 25% of time.


I KD/Dizzy (UA KD2). While the NPC is attempting to stand, but failing, I deliver the fatal blow. A HAM category hits 0 and I recieve the appropriate xp and faction reward/penalty. However, the NPC then stands up, able to be attacked and with a HAM category still at 0. The NPC is not aggro'd and doesnt run...just stands there. So, I give it a tap... full xp and factional reward/penalty are granted again.


I have not tried this with GCW NPC, but have done it with Sif, Maulers, Townsfolk, NS.


Another use of this is that I kill the NPC with UA the first time. Pull out a 1H weapon for the second kill. I receive full xp for 1H weapon for that kill. In Sif area... was getting 4500ish xp for ua and 4500ish xp for 1H when applying this method towards the same NPC.

New User Experience Typo


Scout Quest, 2nd mission


Current: Hunt enough creatures to gather at least 3 units of hides and 3 units of bone.


Fix: Should be "3 units of hide". Without the "s".

Iwas told that CM's have a max range cap of 48 for their posion throughing distance. This, if ture, is not so. A MCM can still make 100+m posions. They do this by experimenting on the subcompotments and a little on the final product. I was told they do it with the Charges and a little less with the distance. I'm not sure how they do it but it can be done. I'm taking this info right from a good MCM friend I know and have seen this done many times.

This might be on TC but am sure its onlive right now. Was told to post in 2 places this but only found this one.
