Thread: New Weapon Schematics??
Its been rumored that the new weapons will be released with Rage of the Wookies.
Wandering through the Wookiee homeland of Kashyyyk this past Sunday night in the Episode III Beta Test of Star Wars Galaxies™ were several leaders of SOE's development team, including the Producer of Episode III, Dallas Dickinson, Lead Designer, Cinco Barnes and In-Game Events Manager, Jason "Pex" Ryan. Looking to do some testing as well as have some fun they decided to surprise some players and invited a group to join them on a journey to our first instanced dungeon in spacethe Avatar Platform.
The Avatar Platform is a high level dungeon accessed through space and rumor has it the Avatar Space Platform is the most prominent symbol of Wookiee oppression and slavery. The most powerful of all the Trandoshan slaver clans calls this station home. The large, high level dungeon is the final step in the Zssik clan story arc. The players must enter the dungeon and fight their way past both enraged Wookiees and defending Blackscale Trandoshans. Ultimately, this leads to a confrontation between the players and Harwakokok the Mighty, leader of the Wookiee Resistance. The challenges of this quest are high and come at you fast but the team was able to survive and emerge victorious! It is definitely a challenging series of high-level missions that seem to escalate in level of difficulty and fun!
Inside the Platform there are a number of side quests involving everything from opening sealed bulkheads to freeing Wookiees slated for execution.
Loot on the platform is almost entirely quest based. Perform the main quests and you will earn the Trandoshan Scale of Honor or a Star Destroyer Hologram for completing the Imperial quest. The side quests on board offer a range of new pistols, rifles, and carbines that can only be found from the Avatar.
Certain Guards were heard whispering in Kashyyyk that another group may challenge the Blackscale Trandoshans on Monday and Tuesday night departing from the Kashyyyk Starport in the evening hours. If you think you are tough enough to join them....be there around 6PM Pacific Daylight Time!

One of my PA Members just bought a few Renegade Pistols cheap on the Market tonight... she just saw them and bought them...
Those are CU Pistols...
So the CU Weapons are already in the game, just no one has really bothered to really look for them all I guess.
There is a whole bunch of Intimidator Pistols and Renegade Pistols listed on the Galaxy Wide Vendor Search as I type this... CU Weapons.
I haven't searched through the Rifles and Carbines yet but I know there are no Proton models listed yet because I looked for some.
These new schematics are in the WS skill tree :
RSF sword (Lvl 40)

Death-Hammer Pistol (lvl 40)
Intimidator Pistol (Lvl 54, skill Master Squad Leader)

And there is also variants from existing weapons (light laser rifle, lightning rifle, flame thrower)
Others new weapons come from looted schematics probably (nobody knows atm, except maybe ROTW beta-testers, which are still under NDA i think), and the list can be found here :

ah, this is the kind of info i was looking for, that combined with the person that posted that thing on ROTW (which i found after i started the thread) leads me to believe that i'll probably find the schematics through quests from ROTW.
well folks, thanks for the info and good luck with the new system.
THERE WILL BE NO WEAPON SCHEMATICS IN RotW!
ALL WEAPONS ARE QUEST BASED!
Well, I guess, but are there that many and are they that interested? Anyway, I hope we'll see some new schematics in game soon! Message Edited by U-Exports on 05-05-2005 11:23 AM
