[17:33] *Anon4881* At this years Fan Fest, a video was shown that strongly hinted at Player Capital Ships. When will more information on these ships be released?

[17:33] The video was a technology test straight from a developer's desk that we decided to share with the Fan Fest attendees. It does not necessarily represent anything we are currently doing with the game.







So basically they are saying theres a chance they might have just shown that video for no reason at all? That capital ships might never come to SWG? If thats so there goes my last reason for staying......





As someone who attended Fanfest2 and the first Fanfest this really irritates me. The first Fanfest did a promo for the JTL that was implemented at the end of summer. The Fanfest 2 video actually looked like something that would add good content to this game to actually want me to play in space and get together a group to capture a ship when I board. I was actually thinking that this was the stuff being kept under wraps for this expansion.


Really to tell the truth, seems most loot will either be:


A: Items to decorate your house.


B: High end weapons that only non jedi can use.


C: Craftable items to decorate your house, or just a few weapons that crafters can make for non jedi to use.


D: More clothing items.


As for the preorder rewards so far the only thing confermed is the8 man skiff (probably not fast as this would of beenincentive info given)and the week ealry play time(no big deal). Figure only time more rewards indicated will be if theres a lack of folk buying.


Oh and there is only like 5 weeks before preorder folk will start playing and 6 weeks before normal folk can start. Well a bit longer for me as I can see no incentive to buy. Guess the producers better start giving more of an incentive to folk soon. Can't be more powerful weapons since that would unbalance the current game, which oh yeah only the non jedi could use. Doh! Not Much incentive for jedi player to go there yet.


The only thing interesting will be a contest another player said they would start holding called the "lava run" which sounds sorta fun. Take a stretch of lava and see how far a person can run before they die. Furthest wins. Only thing that does sound fun on Mustafar. Not sure yet. That $30.00 sorta bugs me though. If it was $15.00 then I could see getting "the blue glowee planet" as the "wookie planet" at least also had a space zone. No lower cost either to pre order. As i already got a Flash speeder I need no extra 3 speeder slots in my data pad.


As it is it seems SWG goes "6th Sense" like oh "I see dead people"




How can you say you've lived life if you've never danced?
Well I do remember Han having a one piece suit made out of carbonite but it weighed a ton. Still it didnt require any ironing and was very wear resistant.
Thanks SOE! The CU and NGE gave me my life back. Thanks! Bitterness is the taste of love lost, a tear of acid that burns the heart.
Long gone, in sorrow of song. Stand I make to deliver hope with twisted temporal past, for the ripples in time distort what affects when. Prowlies a must see Clicky!
As a dreamer I sing to the sea and imagine the possibilities and potential this game could free, but when I get home a sad sight there be. A lost fool, for once was is gone, what could've been to never be, and the angel of my heart to be forgotten, locked away by the key of SOE.

Maybe they are adding something better or significatly differentthan premium pearls.. I mean, powercells looted from bh marks is supposedly replacing krayt tissues, so krayt pearls going absolete might happen, and make existing pearls inferior/incompatible.





that is just the kind of bs kick to the crotch i would expect from the devs.....250mil+ and months of work ruined.






As said from a most excellent movie "Space Balls" in relation to Tatooine, "There goes the planet!" Well I can cross that off my list to do things. Guess the kryat population can increase now. LOL

So basically to sum that all up in a few words if you want new loot and to breathe a little more life into this game, Buy The Expansion.

Good afternoon suckers,

If you don't see something you were looking for in this update, it simply means we are still working on it and will have it out to you as soon as we can.

The houses seem really cool. I will be happy to see new robes, just hope they go over clothing.

Premium Pearls

[17:08]

Currently, Premium Pearls do not drop. We will bring them back into the game once we figure out a favorable implementation of these special items; there is not specific ETA for this change and all players that have the old Premium Pearls will get to keep them in the interim.

[17:08] *Corbantis-Callale* Will premiun pearl drops be fixed with the Trials of ObiWan expansion?






lol - there goes the ebay credit market

[17:13] Phaelyn, Squad Leader and Ranger are two key professions that we're singled out as needing change to become more compelling and useful professions. That said, we are looking at doing MORE PROFESSION REVAMPS after these two. Expect some great changes to other professions in the future.


That is what concerns me most - that means they ADMITTED that the curb was a more or less complete failure - and now they are changing everything (more or less) again - expect the worst...

Gush, did you not pay attention at all during CU? that was just the combat update, to change from the crappy old system to the new and improved. Revamps was to follow, soon as the base machinations were set in and optimized for the actual profession revamps.

That's pretty much what we were being told in the profession forums of the professions most in dire need of revamps before the CU struck. So.. either they had a psychic telling them that CU was going to be a failure or *gasp* it's all a part of an actualplan.

The CU did not improve the combat. It is not as good by a long shot. What it really did was screw us out of the uber weapons we busted our hump to attain. They told us crap like the uber weapons will still be uber then they turned my sweet tenloss into a level 30 noob weapon.

No.. not as good, better. Mainly because the old system sucked, with people easily solo'ing things meant for a group which was flawed since the max amount of people in a group was 20, meaning designing new content was.. tricky even if they wanted to.

Take your perception of your gun for a minute and start thinking about the future.

For instance invisibility as we know it today was impossible under the old system. It's been tested on rifleman and jedi, and is the foundation for the RANGER REVAMP. blurrgs only know what great changes are still in store for us, but under the old system.. it would simply not be possible.

CU for the win!

bs man saying new content would not work is bologna and they could have adjusted the difficulty of boss mobs and reduced group size. if you are gonna claim the new system is better then come up with factual statements no spin control double talk propaganda. And cloak is lame when the abillity to exploit it is gone you will be able to count the cloakers on one hand.

[17:52] *jexicredent* On Star Wars Official site there is a screenshot the appears to be players wearing some kind of equipment that goes over the eye. If this is nit cybernetics what is it and does it do anything?



[17:52] That eye equipment you see in the screenshot is actually the special edition goggles given to Japanese players. Unfortunately owning the Japanese collector's edition would be the only way to obtain the goggles






That sucks....Why did the Japanese get the cool goggles...and those of us who bought the Collectors Edition in America get some non Star Wars style ones.


I was looking forward to that too after seeing the screenies. unfortunate indeed
