Star Wars Gaming Megathread Episode II - Attack of the Season Pass - Games

[QUOTE=The Rifleman;49558637]I'm gonna play some EMU for a couple hours if anyone wants to join me[/QUOTE] I'll join in, hop in the steam chat or something

[QUOTE=QueenSasha24;49558580]We'd have Hoth and Endor and that's it.[/QUOTE] If it's to follow similarly to BF2's map choices, we're still missing, off the top of my head, Dagobah, Yavin, a space station. Did I read somewhere that this Battlefront installation is only sticking to the OT? It'd be nice to have a PT introduction.

Factions and weapons are OT Only at least. I'd love to see a map based in Theed

It'd be nice to have a PT introduction.[/QUOTE] They haven't outright said it but it's pretty clear the game is focusing on the OT, which means a significant amount of the content and some of the purpose of the original games is gone. [QUOTE=Tuskin;49559242]Factions and weapons are OT Only at least. I'd love to see a map based in Theed[/QUOTE] Not everything is the game is OT based, though. There's Shadow Troopers, Sullust, the Jetpack and quite a few weapons/items that aren't from the movies.

I think they mean OT era, not the movies specifically.

Is there a way to improve your health, mind, action in SWG other than buffs?

[QUOTE=QueenSasha24;49558580]We'd have Hoth and Endor and that's it.[/QUOTE] i'm still waiting for my authentic tantive iv map.

[QUOTE=Pops;49561156]i'm still waiting for my authentic tantive iv map.[/QUOTE] realistic spam down hallways action [sp]tbh i'd like that if only because the Tantive IV is a cool ship with cool interiors[/sp]

DLC info in the coming weeks [url]https://mobile.twitter.com/eastarwars/status/689203372969209856[/url]

[QUOTE=Tuskin;49561502]DLC info in the coming weeks [url]https://mobile.twitter.com/eastarwars/status/689203372969209856[/url][/QUOTE] IIRC I saw the same exact tweet by them more than a month ago.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;49555544]I think the DLC will probably be disappointing if you're expecting stuff from the old games. Though I'm secretly hoping for a Death Star map I'm trying to think of places big enough in the OT for all the game modes. If the DLC maps use all the gane modes. There really isn't any. I'm guessing they will have some PT planets and maybe 'new' planets like Sullust was Would Walker Assault on cloud city work? :v:[/QUOTE] pt planets? no. maybe coruscant and naboo since they were in the revised endings of rotj, but anything like geonosis, utapau or mustafar won't happen until they do the clone wars game. i hope for either death star or mos eisley. it's annoying to get more tatooine maps at this point, but i'd rather they just stuck to the popular locations, or did it how they did in the previous games where it's based on the movie locations, but as if it were another part of that location.

So I looked to see if the SWG Legends server was up yet and lookie what announcement got posted: [quote=Site Mod] We have been made aware of an incident that unfortunately might have resulted the security of user accounts becoming compromised. We do not know for sure whether accounts definitely have been compromised or not, however, in order for us to ensure the security of everyone's account here, we are advising all of you to change your password. Anyone that needs help with any of this, please do not hesitate to contact Saint, Gray or one of the Forum Mods. Thank you [/quote] Darth Punchus?

wow, they really can't keep their shit together, can they? vosk, did you get approval on the forum yet?

I don't think I'm even gonna look at SWG legends anymore.

Dont waste your time with legends

[QUOTE=revan740;49561515]IIRC I saw the same exact tweet by them more than a month ago.[/QUOTE] I know right? What's taking so long? I mean, they do not even have to have finished the dlc before announcing what will be in it. Do you think they are having problems finding enough content from the OT era to create 4 viable dlcs?

So I'm not sure how interested you guys are now, but legends test server is now up and running fine and they are starting to churn out patches. I think they are actually going somewhere now. Password thing was resolved quickly, I'm doing my best to talk with the admins whenever I get a chance. [editline]19th January 2016[/editline] Oh yeah. Looks like ships are fully out.

If you want to play it just to run around and experience a few things again that might be alright, but don't expect to be able to play on it for long or for it to have a good community. Any proper investment of time isn't worth it. It's based on the incomplete SWG source code and every project based on that so far has failed, in several cases because of the same few developers. Legends seems to be the same team (or some of them) as Reborn, and with Reborn there were problems all the time (Staff problems, admin abuse etc), and with all the issues with legends so far, it seems like the same sort of thing will happen again.

Either they reset the vet rewards on Legends, or they're per-server

I just don't enjoy pre-CU as much as i do NGE. I'm not hopeful, to be honest. But I'm going to stick around for the ride anyway.

Fortunately there is ProjectSWG which seems like the best hope for NGE so far, it's an EMU so they're doing it all themselves rather than just trying to patch up the incomplete SWG code and stick it on a server. That seems like the best chance for a NGE experience with a good community and a dedicated team, although it'll take a while before it's really playable.

Honestly, I'd be interested in playing on SWGEmu and setting up there if that's what everyone wants. I just know a lot less about Pre-CU than NGE. Setting up a guild would be fun still, so I'm on board. I just wish there was more to do than do missions and PVP. But I can be the city curator or something, that's always fun.

I hope we set up the city on a planet that isn't Tatooine, though.

We can start our city, turn out crafters, train people, etc. open up shops. Lots to do honestly.

I must be the only person who really enjoys tatooine for whatever reason

Setting up a city in SWGEmu is going to be difficult. There is [I]very[/I] little real estate left on Naboo, Corellia, and Tatooine, and what little there is is barely enough to set up a mineral extractor. The big thing about towns in SWG is that they require a [I]lot[/I] of very flat land, and there's surprisingly little of it on most planets. I'd say if we want to set up a town, we should start scouting [I]now[/I] instead of waiting for someone to become an architect.

I'll be on later and we can scout around. I think Tatooine is out of the question.
