[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"

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.

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...

[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

seams to me that exclusive content that is as old as dirt should be made available for everyone. You should be able to craft flashspeeders and sunglasses now and a year from now the same should apply to taming varactyls and crafting barc speeders.
hellsyea thats a great idea. i mean why wouldnt it make sence?
