| |
| − |
| |
| − | protocols have been optimized on the client. (For those that are
| |
| − |
| |
| − | curious, we throttled excessive disk io in the UI saving code and
| |
| − |
| |
| − | limited the amount of back scroll text that is saved to the uis. This
| |
| − |
| |
| − | should help out with client lag and make larger uis files considerably
| |

| |
| − |
| |
| − | </strong></p> <p>• Added checkboxes to force sorting the
| |
| − |
| |
| − | player's datapad and inventory contents. When run the first time, these
| |
| − |
| |
| − | values should default to "on". The toggles are located under

| |
| − |
| |
| − | backpacks will no longer be auto-unequipped. Note: other faction items
| |
| − |
| |
| − | may auto-unequip and can sometimes overload your inventory. If this
| |
| − |
| |
| − | happens, you will not be able to move. You will need to move items out
| |
| − |
| |
| − | of your inventory into an equipped backpack, bank, house, get help from
| |
| − |
| |
| − | a friend, etc., or delete items as needed until the inventory count is

| |
| − |
| |
| − | "Recyclers" have been added to the game. There are 5 types of

| |
| − |
| |
| − | directional indicators that display a gunner's target to the pilot of a
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ship with turrets. In a multi-passenger ship when a player mans a
| |
| − |
| |
| − | turret, when the gunner cycles through targets, the pilot should see a
| |
| − |
| |
| − | light gray arrow that indicates the direction of the gunner's target.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Please note that this should only appear when the target is off screen
| |
| − |
| |
| − | (similar to the standard target arrow) and that if the gunner and the
| |
| − |
| |
| − | pilot have the same thing targeted, then the target will only be
| |
| − |
| |
| − | indicated by the player's blue arrow. </p> <p><strong>Tutorial / New

| |
| − |
| |
| − | you receive a message in the middle of the response, your private
| |
| − |
| |
| − | message is sent to another player. This is now fixed by changing

| |
| − | <strong>February 24, 2005 </strong></p> <p>In this publish we bring you
| |
| − |
| |
| − | major changes to Star Wars Galaxies. These changes are listed
| |
| − |
| |
| − | below: </p> <p><strong>Galactic Civil War (GCW) and Temporary Enemy
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Flags (TEF) </strong></p> <p>The Galactic Civil War (GCW) will be
| |
| − |
| |
| − | heating up as players fight for control of the planets. The system is
| |
| − |
| |
| − | broken into two major components. The introduction of an improved
| |
| − |
| |
| − | flagging system for factionally aligned players (redesign of "Temporary
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Enemy Flags" - TEFs: they no longer make players vulnerable to PVP
| |
| − |
| |
| − | without declaring faction) and the introduction of a GCW tracking
| |
| − |
| |
| − | system that allows players to battle over planets and win control of
| |
| − |
| |
| − | cities for their faction. </p> <p><strong>Group Friendly Looting
| |
| − |
| |
| − | </strong></p> <p>Group Looting in Star Wars is a variety of methods for
| |
| − |
| |
| − | how players in Star Wars Galaxies can distribute loot.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | These systems will allow the group leader to determine what type of
| |
| − |
| |
| − | looting system his group will use.</p> <p><strong>Player Event Perks
| |
| − |
| |
| − | </strong></p> <p>Every week there are a many player-run events held
| |
| − |
| |
| − | across the galaxy. These events can be anything from PvP tourneys and
| |
| − |
| |
| − | role-playing events to murder mysteries or dance parties. To help
| |
| − |
| |
| − | players more easily run these events, the Event Team has been working
| |
| − |
| |
| − | on some special tools and perks. </p> <p><strong>Force Sensitive
| |
| − |
| |
| − | </strong></p> <ul> <li>The Phase 4 version of Captain Sarguillo in the
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Village of Aurilia will now grant his second quest to players who had
| |
| − |
| |
| − | already worked for him in a previous instance of Phase 4 </li> </ul>

| − |
| |
| − | <p><strong>Server Fixes </strong></p> <ul> <li>Improved Server
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Stability <li>Fixes for crashing to desktop <li>Optimizations to water
| |
| − |
| |
| − | code to improve client performance. Water detail control

| |
| − |
| |
| − | </strong></p> <ul> <li>If you have triggered more than one veteran
| |
| − |
| |
| − | reward at the same time, the announcement will remind you that you need
| |
| − |
| |
| − | to claim the first reward before the second will be offered.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <li>The command /claimVeteranReward will now bring up the choices for
| |
| − |
| |
| − | the new veteran rewards, in addition to the Sorosuub. This will also
| |
| − |
| |
| − | fix an issue where players choose the option to be reminded in a week
| |
| − |
| |
| − | for rewards and they change their mind but have to wait out the week,
| |
| − |
| |
| − | now players can type /claimVeteranReward to reinitiate the process.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <li>Anti Decay Kits will now reset the item it is being used on to
| |
| − |
| |
| − | maximum hitpoints. Items that have already had Anti Decay applied
| |
| − |
| |
| − | will also be reset to maximum hitpoints. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Combat
| |
| − |
| |
| − | </strong></p> <ul> <li>Fixed a bug where a dead or incapacitated person

| − | on Rori rebel story mission so that it highlights as an ally <li>Fixed
| |
| − |
| |
| − | plasma conduit repair bug </li> </ul> <p><strong>UI </strong></p> <ul>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <li>New mouse button behavior in modeless test interfaces: <ul>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <li>Single left-click selects object when the button is released
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <li>Double left-click now selects object and causes default action
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <li>Single right-click selects object and brings up the context menu
| |
| − |
| |
| − | when the button is released <li>Pressing a mouse button down in the
| |
| − |
| |
| − | scene to move the camera no longer deselects the object; however, by
| |
| − |
| |
| − | default, clicking quickly in the scene will deselect the current
| |
| − |
| |
| − | target. </li> </ul> <li>Using commands targeted by name now works for
| |
| − |
| |
| − | targets on vehicles and mounts. <li>The UI hud effectors will no
| |
| − |
| |
| − | longer override opacity. UI elements will appear at 100% opacity

| |
| − |
| |
| − | didn't have a target and typed an action <li>Ground radar

| − |
| |

| |
| − |
| |
| − | will display tooltip info about the blip. <li>Removed extra popup
| |
| − |
| |
| − | windows when clicking on friendly players </li> </ul>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p><strong>Musician / Entertainer / Dancer </strong></p> <ul> <li>Fixed
| |
| − |
| |
| − | /stopwatch/stoplisten canceling buffs out <li>Entertainer mind wound
| |
| − |
| |
| − | healing has been toned down. There is still a twice as much gain
| |
| − |
| |
| − | in experience for healing mind wounds than there was prior to Publish
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 13.0. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Harvesting / Resources </strong></p> <ul>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <li>There will no longer be a penalty to harvesting while in a
| |
| − |
| |
| − | group. Instead, there will now be a 20% harvesting bonus if you
| |
| − |
| |
| − | are in a group and at least one group member is within 64m of you when
| |
| − |
| |
| − | you harvest. If there is a Ranger present in your group and is
| |
| − |

| − | within 64m of you, the group harvesting bonus will be 30% for you when
| |
| − |
| |

| |
| − |
| |
| − | <li>Searching a creature lair will have a higher chance of finding eggs
| |
| − |
| |
| − | as well as a lower chance of finding nothing or finding a jar of
| |
| − |
| |
| − | bugs. You might also want to try searching the lair again; there
| |
| − |
| |
| − | might be a chance you missed something! <li>Increased the amount of
| |
| − |
| |
| − | resources spawned, so that rare resources will be slightly more common.
| |
| − |

| |
| − | if you drop a bag in a house, leave the house, and come back later, and
| |
| − |
| |
| − | open the bag, you don't see the contents of the bag until you pick it
| |
| − |
| |
| − | up. </li> </ul> <p><strong>New Players </strong></p> <ul> <li>A

| |
| − |
| |
| − | a new story Arc! Read on for more details. </p> <p><strong>Quests
| |
| − |
| |
| − | </strong></p> <p>Today begins the first part of a new epic quest series
| |
| − |
| |
| − | called "Secrets of the Syren"! Who is the pilot that everyone
| |
| − |
| |
| − | is searching for? What was the dangerous cargo he was carrying that
| |
| − |
| |
| − | both Imperials and Rebels want so desperately? Rebels should report
| |
| − |
| |
| − | immediately to the Tyrena Cantina, Imperials to the Bestine Cantina and
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Neutrals to the Theed Cantina! </p> <p><strong>GCW </strong></p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>• Increased the difficulty of higher level faction base
| |
| − |
| |
| − | spawns. (Now that the rebel and imperial faction bases spawned entity
| |
| − |
| |
| − | difficulty and numbers have recently been brought into balance with
| |
| − |
| |
| − | each other, the difficulty of the spawns at bases higher than the
| |
| − |
| |
| − | forward operating bases are being increased) </p> <p>• PvE
| |
| − |
| |
| − | (non SF) faction bases can no longer have control terminal menu options
| |
| − |
| |
| − | for resetting their vulnerability timer (which shouldn't have been
| |
| − |
| |
| − | there anyhow, since PvE bases are always supposed to be vulnerable),
| |
| − |
| |
| − | nor can you shut them down to abort a self-destruct countdown, once
| |
| − |
| |
| − | started (which better fits the non-PvP nature of these bases). </p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>• Added hacked terminal and base destruction alarms to
| |
| − |
| |
| − | factional bases </p> <p>• Added exterior reinforcement
| |
| − |
| |
| − | spawner to hacked factional bases </p> <p>• Decreased point
| |
| − |
| |
| − | cost of faction turrets </p> <p>• Decreased point cost of
| |
| − |
| |
| − | the factional forward operating bases </p> <p>• Factional
| |
| − |
| |
| − | base deeds should now indicate what faction they are for by their name.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | </p> <p>• Increased GCW point value of factional bases for
| |
| − |
| |
| − | all bases higher than Forward Operating Base </p> <p>•
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Slightly increased cost of Tactical Center to bring it in line with the
| |
| − |
| |
| − | increased toughness of its spawns </p> <p>• Fixed an issue
| |
| − |
| |
| − | where Imperial guards were spawning and entering Moenian cantinas </p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>• Fixed rank display in recruiter conversations </p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>• News terminals will now always open the news headlines
| |
| − |
| |
| − | when you double click on them </p> <p>• Fixed several bad
| |
| − |
| |
| − | faction base objective-terminal spawn locations and orientations </p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>• Fixed terminals only working if you were special forces
| |
| − |
| |
| − | </p> <p>• Added roving security personnel to hacked
| |
| − |
| |
| − | factional bases </p> <p>• Fixed a bug where objects could
| |
| − |
| |
| − | block players from entering factional bases </p> <p>•
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Changed how GCW faction perk costs are changed based on GCW status.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | There was a bug that caused items to get cheaper as you started to
| |
| − |
| |
| − | lose. This was incorrect and backwards. If you are losing, items get
| |
| − |
| |
| − | more expensive on that planet. </p> <p><strong>AI </strong></p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>• Fixed a bug where AI would warp when moving towards a
| |
| − |
| |
| − | destination (such as fleeing, etc.) </p> <p><strong>UI </strong></p>

| |
| − |
| |
| − | </strong></p> <p>Have you ever wanted to search for an item to buy
| |
| − |
| |
| − | without having to travel across the entire planet randomly checking
| |
| − |
| |
| − | vendors? Well now you can! We have enhanced the functionality of
| |
| − |
| |
| − | our bazaar terminals to include the ability to search all player
| |
| − |
| |
| − | vendors for items you may be looking for. This new feature will greatly
| |
| − |
| |
| − | improve how vendors are handled in the game. Read on for more
| |
| − |
| |
| − | information. </p> <p><strong>Overview </strong><br> The purpose of
| |
| − |
| |
| − | vendor search function is to allow vendor owned items to be searched
| |
| − |
| |
| − | from anywhere in the galaxy. This will include the following
| |
| − |
| |
| − | functions: </p> <p>• Each vendor owner can decide whether to
| |
| − |
| |
| − | allow his or her vendors to be searchable in the market. There is
| |
| − |
| |
| − | an option for vendor owners to turn on/off the search option on his or
| |
| − |
| |
| − | her vendor. The vendor owner will be able to find current search
| |
| − |
| |
| − | option settings for each of his or her vendor(s) </p> <p>•
| |
| − |
| |
| − | When a vendor owner turns on the search option, a player should be able
| |
| − |
| |
| − | to go to any bazaar and list all items owned by this vendor </p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>• When a vendor owner turns off the search option, the
| |
| − |
| |
| − | vendor is no longer listed in the galaxy-wide network search. With this
| |
| − |
| |
| − | search option turned off, vendor owners have the ability to conduct
| |
| − |
| |
| − | private auctions. Players will need to physically go to the vendor and
| |
| − |
| |
| − | click "Use Vendor" to list items from this vendor. </p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p><strong>Vendor Status </strong><br> For all the existing vendors,
| |
| − |
| |
| − | the default option is set to no. Players have to go to their
| |
| − |
| |
| − | vendors and enable this search option. For all future vendors,
| |
| − |
| |
| − | this option is set to yes by default. For vendor owners to check if the
| |
| − |
| |
| − | search option is on or off do the following: </p> <p>•
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Select the Vendor you wish to turn search on/off for </p>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <p>• From the radial menu choose "Vendor Control"
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <br> Once you have selected "Vendor Control" then choose
| |
| − |
| |
| − | "Status" </p> <p>• A pop-up window will show if
| |
| − |
| |
| − | the search option is on or off </p> <p><strong>PA Hall Leadership
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Succession </strong></p> <p><strong>Overview </strong><br> In the
| |
| − |
| |
| − | current live environment, a PA does not automatically handle the case
| |
| − |
| |
| − | where a PA leader has retired from the game. This condition results in
| |
| − |
| |
| − | leaderless PAs, often with active members who wish to continue to run
| |
| − |
| |
| − | the guild. In order to resolve this system, we will implement an
| |
| − |
| |
| − | automated PA succession system. <br> <br> <strong>Allegiance
| |
| − |
| |
| − | </strong><br> The existing "Allegiance" system interface will
| |
| − |
| |
| − | be removed. Instead, guild leaders will be able to turn on voting at
| |
| − |
| |
| − | any time. Every two weeks, the votes will be tallied and a new guild
| |
| − |
| |
| − | leader selected. This is to allow guilds the option of a democratic
| |
| − |
| |
| − | process. Not all guilds will want to enable this option. Guild leader
| |
| − |
| |
| − | voting will default to off. </p> <p><strong>PA Hall Leadership
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Succession </strong><br> There are now two methods for PA Hall
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Leadership Succession: direct leadership transfer and leader elections
| |
| − |
| |
| − | as explained below. </p> <p><strong>Direct Transfer </strong><br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Direct leadership transfer is executed by the current PA leader at the
| |
| − |
| |
| − | PA management terminal. The leader would select the "Transfer PA
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Leadership" option at the terminal. They are then prompted to
| |
| − |
| |
| − | enter the name of the person who will receive leadership. This person
| |
| − |
| |
| − | must be online and be standing near the terminal. The person who will
| |
| − |
| |
| − | receive leadership must also have enough lots free to take ownership of
| |
| − |
| |
| − | the PA hall. If they satisfy the requirements, the PA leadership and
| |
| − |
| |
| − | the PA hall ownership will be transferred to them. If they do not
| |
| − |
| |
| − | satisfy the requirements, the existing leader will receive a message as
| |
| − |
| |
| − | to why the change could not be made. Trial accounts are not eligible
| |
| − |
| |
| − | for leadership or PA hall ownership. </p> <p><strong>Elections
| |
| − |
| |
| − | </strong><br> During the regular weekly PA maintenance, the system will
| |
| − |
| |
| − | examine the last login time of the PA leader. If they have not logged
| |
| − |
| |
| − | in for one month, the system will send an email warning to the PA
| |
| − |
| |
| − | members. The warning will explain that the leader has not been active
| |
| − |
| |
| − | and that a voting process for a new leader has been opened. </p> <p>The
| |
| − |
| |
| − | voting process will use the same interface as player city voting. Three
| |
| − |
| |
| − | options will become available on the guild management terminal during
| |
| − |
| |
| − | voting: </p> <p>• Register / Unregister - Any full PA member
| |
| − |
| |
| − | may run for election. They would select this option to add themselves
| |
| − |
| |
| − | to the ballot. Only members on the ballot are eligible for election.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Any guild member in normal standing can register to run. Sponsored
| |
| − |
| |
| − | applicants will not be eligible to run. </p> <p>• Cast
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Vote - This option allows a member to select who they wish to vote for.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | They may also choose to abstain. A member may change their vote at any
| |
| − |
| |
| − | time </p> <p>• View Standings - allows the player to
| |
| − |
| |
| − | look at who is currently registered and how many votes they have
| |
| − |
| |
| − | received. </p> <p>Exactly two weeks after the election is started, the
| |
| − |
| |
| − | votes will be tallied. The individual with the most votes will become
| |
| − |
| |
| − | leader of the PA. </p> <p>In many cases, the owner of a PA hall and the
| |
| − |
| |
| − | PA leader will be different characters. In order to prevent a PA from
| |
| − |
| |
| − | losing a PA hall due to the absence of the hall owner, PA leaders now
| |
| − |
| |
| − | have a limited ability to claim PA halls they do not own. A new guild
| |
| − |
| |
| − | terminal option "Accept PA Hall" will appear (for guild
| |
| − |
| |
| − | leader) if the hall owner has not logged in for 28 days. Once the guild
| |
| − |
| |
| − | leader owns the hall, the structure may be transferred to another
| |
| − |
| |
| − | player using the /transferStructure command. </p> <p><strong>Profession

| |

| |

| |
| − |
| |
| − | fighting was rather rough in Corellia space today. I had the
| |
| − |
| |
| − | opportunity to actually see some of the fighting. I could kick
| |
| − |
| |
| − | myself for not bringing my holo-recorder! It appeared to end in a draw,
| |
| − |
| |
| − | but of course I can't actually report that! Interestingly, two
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ships crashed: one on Talus and the other on Corellia. Sources
| |
| − |
| |
| − | tell me that an Imperial officer named Ceth Laike at the Imperial
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Outpost in Talus is looking for the pilot of one of these ships. A
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Rebel named Acun Solari in Tyrena is looking for the other. I
| |
| − |
| |
| − | hope they didn't land in bad spots. Sometimes the local gangs
