Treasure Map Badge

Friday, September 5th, 2008

I am obsessed with Treasure Maps on my Bounty Hunter, so I decided to go for the Treasure Map Title and Badge. I normally prefer to use the “Elder” titles on my toons, but this toon is not an Elder.

Making good progress, just need the Rare Oval Gems, which I have not looted any yet..

SWGPets.Com

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

This is a great resource for info on the creatures of Star Wars Galaxies. Created by: Ztez of Ahazi and Arey of Intrepid, it is a great spot for Beast Masters and BM Crafters to gather ideas and info. Nice work, guys!

Incubation Time Mod

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

I am still unclear on mods that affect crafting-type sessions that last several hours. Does the mod register when you start the Incubation, or is the mod only effective while the toon in online?

Weaponsmithy

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

Recently, the Munitions Trader got an update in weapon crafting. The update did not get allot of hype, but I think this update was HUGE. Suddenly, weapon crafting has so many options and customization, offering combat toons the ability to commission unique weapons.

Munitions Traders are once again taking pride in their weapon crafting, and 80% of the player-made weapons will be better then looted or reward weapons. Weaponsmiths are searching for old resources to get server caps on sub-componants, and making names for themselves as uber Weapon makers.

I hope the upcoming Droid Commander adds the same level of customization to Droid Engineers, breathing new life into Engineer Traders.

I commissioned a FWG5 for my Master Medic. I LOVE my new Pistol.

Now, if I could get a FWG5 pistol with the DX2 sounds, I would be one happy nerd :)

UPDATE: Cijj from http://SWG.Weltennet.de asked if this was crafted from the old Featherweight FWG5 schem. It was.

Exar Kun Mural

Monday, September 1st, 2008

A group of us did the Exar Kun instance last night. It was only my 2nd trip, and the first time I have been in a group that finished it. We looted the very rare Exar Kun Mural, our Server’s first.

Group member Agira won the roll for it, and placed it in her Mall. Congratz Agira! It was allot of fun.

T-Shirts?

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

One of our Guild Members Kal-lel (Superman FTW) is widely considered the most knowledgable and skilled Crafter in our group. I wanted to nominate him for SOE’s Player of the Year, but he is inelidgable because he lives in Canada. It sucks that SOE is hand-cuffed by federal commerce laws, and players outside the U.S. cannot win stuff.

Since one cool thing about Fan Faire, is they love to give out free T-Shirts, I had an extra SWG: Trading Card Game T-Shirt. So, I mailed Kal my extra shirt.

I will probably be arrested by the Postal police, and shipped somewhere without high-speed internet, but that’s ok. :)

It got me to thinking…

Valara, any way I can get some more of those shirts? I will ship them out (at my own expense) to Guildies, and others players outside the U.S. Compliments of SOE and SWGBlog.NET. What do you think?

Can’t be much to ship a T-Shirt to Australia, right? :)

More TCG: Good and Bad

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

I logged into the TCG, and the item that disappeared yesterday, appeared today, the Han’s Hydrospanner. I also went to the TCG Store, and purchased 4 Booster Packs. In the Card Manager, I chose to unpack all 4.

A window popped up showing me 15 cards (1 booster). I closed that window, and that was it. No more new cards. wtf? I checked my whole deck, and I had 69 unlocked cards.

As a Fan Faire attendent, I recieved 2 Booster packs, I purchased one last week, and 4 today. I am missing some cards. I posted to the Troubleshooting and Bugs forum, to see if I can get some help.

In the meantime, I noticed a pattern with the 4 Starter packs that come with the game:

  • 36% Units
  • 32% Abilities
  • 20% Tactics
  • 12% Items

When I build my Deck, I am trying to stick to this formula.

On another note, the Han’s Hydrospanner will give you a rare collection piece, if you are cl90. I logged in my Jedi, in hopes that maybe the toon that used the Hydrospanner will get something that toon needs. I recieved the Shelving Techniques 9. A collection not on this toon. So much for that theory :)

Trading Card Game Observations

Friday, August 29th, 2008

I logged into the TCG, and I got a popup saying I received a Star Wars Galaxies Item. Cool! The card looked like a hand holding a double-sided Hilt. I closed the window and went into Card Manager to get a closer look at my new goodie.

It was not there. I filtered for both ‘Redeemable’ and ‘Redeemed’ and it was not there. I looked in the complete Deck, and did not see it. Strange.

This account also has my Jedi, so I logged her in to see if I could /claim the item. I did get another Target Ackley and Fan Faire 2008 Poster, which is great, but no new item.

No matter. I was going to blog today about how the 2nd Scenario for me was consistantly kicking my ass.

I use the Rebel Deck on this account, and was fighting the Sith guy. I swear this guy was cheating :)

  • Often, he had 9 cards showing, and I was down to 2 cards total.
  • He played the Strangulation card 3 times in most games, which always killed 2 of my units, somehow
  • He was regularly attacking my units or me directly, not sure how.

Since I got owned so easily, It could mean one of 2 things.

  1. I suck at this
  2. I was missing some combat techniques that he was using.

The ironic thing is, I logged in this morning to get screenshots, and I beat him easily. No idea how :)
