Preface - What's so Special About the End of Summer?
From the Development Team

For a few months now, rumors have been surfacing on these forums and various community websites about a significant patch coming to TC:Nova in the near future. Now we unveil some significant improvements to TC:Nova, enhancing the playability of the game. The reasoning behind this: to provide our steadfast community with a playable server while we orchestrate the Object Restructure. Changes will be taking place throughout the week.

As it has been mentioned before, the Object Restructure will not make it to the public test center until it is significantly finished. This update is in no way connected to the Object Restructure and is solely a present from us to you, the community. We hope you will find enjoyment in the hard work we have poured into completing a significant portion of the gameplay.

You will find a selection of our favorite changes from this patch outlined here in this Bi-weekly. We hope you enjoy them all.

----------------------------------------------------

A Froggy Affair

One thing which will surely be noticed by all is the fact that blue frogs have been completely removed from the Test Centre. Everything you should need to function in the galaxy will now be crafted by other players, or if brave enough, looted from mobs using the new and improved loot table featuring: lootable crafting components, magseal and other containers spawning loot, a more realistic credit payout from corpses, skill tapes / attachments being lootable and usable, a revision of every creature's loot items and drop rates to be more like Pre-CU and humanoids being the only creatures which drop credits.

Magseal and other containers will now spawn and contain loot in many of the caves and dungeons around the galaxy. They are extremely important for any aspiring smuggler, and you never know what treasures they may behold to be sold, consumed or used!

----------------------------------------------------

Schematics for success

Crafting has undergone a massive growth over the summer. In short, all current schematics now actually work. A gargantuan collection of schematics has also been added. At last count, these included: All entertainer, scout, weaponsmith, armorsmith, tailor, entertainer, smuggler, chef, doctor, medic, and combat medic schematics. All fully in, all working, and all waiting to be made. A few early Droid Engineer schematics have also been added.

Also worth noting is that the requirement for identical components, which was causing problems in many advanced schematics, has been temporarily removed until factory crates are implemented.

----------------------------------------------------

Seeking Employment!

Everyone needs a job, and Ramsey, Thoop, Dannuic and Kyle were more than willing to oblige. Mission terminals all across the galaxy now offer PvE missions with correct Pre-CU payouts, working as intended. Even more exciting, though, is the addition of complete, correct, and fully functional Bounty Hunter missions of both the PvE and Player variety. This addition sees the Bounty Hunter profession working effectively as intended as per Patch 14.1.

The spawns for mission lairs is now functional also, and it works in a random pattern, spawning different levels of animal and baby. Watch those kimogila lairs!

----------------------------------------------------

[Max]

Are you going to eat that?

Chefs, en guard, don your hats and prepare to treat the galaxy to every craftable chef item, now working as they should, including all associated buffs and enhancements.

Looking for a place to put all those food scraps? Perhaps a friendly Junk Dealer could help you out. They are located all over the galaxy, and will now buy any junk from you for a fair and reasonable price.

For a more risque meal, perhaps a smuggler could assist you in procuring any of the now craftable spices. Smugglers can also slice mission terminals for higher reward payouts, now using all the appropriate tools. Thrillingly, Magseal and other containers are now working and able to be sliced! Get to it smugglers!

http://image.ocdsoft.com/images/rj0aaunbw35epyqebuc_thumb.jpg (http://image.ocdsoft.com/viewer.php?file=rj0aaunbw35epyqebuc.jpg)

----------------------------------------------------

You're going to have to speak up

Player's now start with their race's appropriate language choice on character creation and must learn other character's languages to understand them. Teaching and learning of languages is in and working as a result.

----------------------------------------------------

Excuse me, I seem to be a bit lost...

The planet map (Ctrl V) is now fully populated, un-bugged and in action. All basic trainers are marked on the map. For elite trainers, see the following full list which is 100% accurate to our database: TC: Nova - Profession Trainer Locations (http://www.swgemu.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29393)

----------------------------------------------------

I Feel it too...

What you felt it too? What was it? I dunno, You tell me. I have no idea....

----------------------------------------------------

Epilogue - After these changes....

Exact details for when this patch will be published will be found in the TC Updates forum (under community news) and on the LPE. It will also feature a recap of the patch features.

After all of these exciting changes have taken place, a full database wipe will occur. This means every character, item, vehicle, do dat and widget on the TC will be permanently deleted from the server. It is a simple necessity of the types of changes we are implementing.

Also, vehicles will be disabled after this patch. Not only is that more realistic to the SWG beta, it is also to prevent a serious crash in one of the other features caused by vehicles. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Without the blue frogs, the economy will be very reliant on the crafters. They will be almost solely responsible for creating the goods that every character will need, from vehicles to guns to armour. Please, support your crafters. Without them, the game isn't much fun.

So that it doesn't take a month for anyone to grind up their template, we have raised the experience multiplier to 200%. This means that there is 2x XP on ALL XP types.

----------------------------------------------------

QA Team Additions

The QA team has had applications open for a couple of weeks now, and we had a fantastic response. We would now like to formally welcome the following members to the team, who will be helping out test these new additions to the TC as well as the OR into the future.


Aceblade
Alex1tmac
BigEvil
Masterage
Malmeister
Obeo
Tovo


----------------------------------------------------

Community Team Reorganization

The SWGEmu Community Team has been restructured over the last two weeks to help enhance our service to the Community. The changes involved:


The old CSR team is now the GM team. GMs will be more focused on assisting you in game, around the galaxy.
All Community Staff now have blue names on the forums. The individual teams have not been merged, this is just a way of us being easier to find and contact.
#swgemusupport on IRC and the support forums are now run by a more organised and dedicated Support team, which includes members of the community which are interested in helping out. See this thread if you are interested in helping out:http://www.swgemu.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27851
The team structure has been reorganised as follows:
http://www.swgemu.com/swgemu/images/max/community-flow-final.png (http://www.swgemu.com/forums/../swgemu/images/max/community-flow-final.png)


If you have a problem and need help, your first ports of call should be the Support Forms or the #swgemusupport chat channel on our IRC. If you have issues with your account, access or banning, emailing community@swgemu.com is the best way to find a solution.

As part of these changes we’d like to ecstatically welcome back Kellina as GM / EC Manager.

http://maxmcc.net/swgemu/icons/Chat-bubble-32.png3) Developer Perspective ("Round Table")

Hey everyone, I have just started my first semester of college. It is quite an experience that is taking a bit of time to get used to. The application process went pretty fast for the first week but because I have just started school things have slown down in that area quite a bit. We are still looking for more people on QA and will soon be contacting some of the applicants. I appreciate your patience while waiting for our response.
--Webbwbb, QA Manager

Hello from your new GM Team! We hope everyone has had a great summer and is ready for some heavy testing on TC: Nova! We'd like to point out as a reminder that /addignore is now available for use and that we hope it will give some of you relief for times when your ears get just a little bit too tired of yapping. We hope it will prove useful to everyone!

As for myself, I've just started back at school and have been working hard with the rest of QA to find any bugs or glitches in the new improved systems. Be sure to do your part and enjoy it after the developers and the rest of QA's hard work!
--Dame, Game Master

Hi
--cRush, Developer

Hello all!

As you can see, the Events team has been very busy! Look for more diverse and exciting events now that we have more options available in game. Also, for those who might be interested, we will be beginning RP-events very soon. I can't wait to get large-scale storylines up and running on Nova! Thanks for coming out to our events and taking such great screenies and awesome movies.

See you all in-game!
<3 El'layn, Event Coordinator


I, like many, recently started school again for fall, but I've still been working when I can on the project, mostly bug fixes on missions and a couple smaller projects here and there as we try to polish the large amount that has been added. As expected, we have seen a lot of bugs show up due to large system implementations (missions had a couple revisions before it got to the form it is now). In any case, I really need to get back to physics. Someone has to obey those laws....

http://maxmcc.net/swgemu/icons/Chat-bubble-alt-32.png4) Closing:

Over the past few weeks, aside from working on this update, I have been working mostly on the community team restructure. By more clearly stating communications goals for the future and current tasks, and making sure the whole team is involved in the development of community ideas, I'm hoping we can keep more in touch with the community and stay truer to our end goals. I have also been working on the early stages of building a complete documentation wiki for SWGEmu and Core3. Almost all pages (except things like policy) will be wiki-editable by the whole community. It will serve as a practical handbook for contributors, developers, future admins and end users. Its definitely in its infantsy, but the plan is to have a serious knowledge base by the end of the year.(Quick-Pic: http://image.ocdsoft.com/images/izta36a9yeq6a73j1jkd.png)

I'd like to re post a response I made in the (now defunct) Project Status thread to leave you with:
I am sure you are quite proud of your witty banter, and the 'I'll show you' attitude, but you are simply helping me prove my point.

The Emu has many issues that need to be addressed, and while the upcoming patch is suppose to fix some of those issues, the last thing the forums need are moderators, of any kind, coming on here and jousting with members about whether or not the TC is populated.

My post wasn't simply made to attack the TC, and claim that it is dying, my post was made because people are asking for answers, practically everyday, and instead of getting them, they get responses like yours, which in no way help the situation, and can lead members to believe they are simply being mocked.

Quality Assurance is one of the many titles given to members of the community, and if I am not mistaken, I do believe that title obligates said members to do just that, assure players of the community that their money, and time is not simply being wasted, as people are beginning to wonder.

All people are asking for is for someone to come on the forums, and let them know what is happening. Giving out very small particles of information months apart is not very promising. This is not a multi-billion dollar corporation shielding their information from competitors, this is an Emulation project that is lacking in almost any information at all.

Giving out answers doesn't hurt a project like this, it helps, alot. Even if the only answer we get is "we don't know yet", I am sure plenty of people will accept it as "something". Instead, we get silence, and that is very discouraging.
Hi Tropicana,

I understand your frustrations, I really do. I recently returned from an extremely busy time where I could not spend any time monitoring or working on the emulator. However, over the last week or two I have been working extremely hard on, among other things, an update which is at the moment the biggest update we've ever put out. It outlines exact details of "the patch", what's been going on in the OR, introduces new event themes, outlines some internal changes and gives a number of dev perspectives.

I hope you really don't believe that we want to keep you in the dark. It's perfectly true that over the past few months, between the OR and private lives, almost all of us have been less attentive to the community and have not held up the standards that we expect of ourselves, and you expect from us. For that, I sincerely apologize.

I hope that you have the faith in us, or at least the faith in me personally, to know that the intentions behind all that you see is open benefit, and that our lacking is a chink in our armor and nothing more. I seek to expression professionalism and perfection in everything we have done, are doing and will do, however none of us have done this before, and if we can learn a good lesson through failure; Fate I challenge ye.

Regards


And with that, I implore you to do a little dance, make a little love and get down tonight.... Down to the cantina that is.

Have a great two weeks, and enjoy the fruits of the update!

Meanwhile, on Naboo.....

The first thing that greeted her as she keyed open the lock of her long-unused flat in Theed was the musty, cracked smell of dead nannariums. Kellina sighed; if the most pressing problem her home had was unrecycled biomass, then she could count the end of her training trip a success. Dropping her dusty pack just inside the door, she wound her way through the room to two slim, intricately wrought hooks on the far wall. This was always the hardest part: once this was done, she was home. She smiled wryly, and slipped her head through the battered leather straps holding her pike in place across her shoulders.

Careful not to hit the ornate ceiling with the head, she swung the pike to the front and gave the long, wicked blades a last loving polish with her sleeve. "Well, old friend," she said slightly mournfully as she replaced it on the hooks. "Its time for you to rest," Her LVA safely stored, she turned back to the dusty room, "and time for me to get back to work."

An hour later, the flat was looking livable again. The offending flowers had been taken outside, the windows were thrown open and the breezes from the waterfall swirled through her home. She had bought a tin of spice tea when she left Corellia, and she was sipping on her second cup as she settled into her chair and flipped on her datapad. It was time to see what the galaxy had been up to while she'd been off training. Besides, it was better than answering the three hundred unread messages the alert light in the corner was so helpfully reminding her to open.

Naked fighters draw crowds on Lok!

Of all the headlines to see first, Kellina thought as she skimmed the story. Nothing quite like fighting in your skivvies to add an extra dimension of concern to a brawl. She paged forward. This year's Death Race was a smashing, carnage filled success, it seems. The inclusion of the Geonosian Aklays seemed to make things difficult for all, but the winners somehow made it through: the first place winners were LoTrax, Dedaskalion and Faust, second place went to Corbaer and Romulis, and third place to Ma'el and Kendarian. She glanced over her shoulder at her pike and grinned: maybe she should give them a run for their money next year.

She kept reading. There had been an increased interest in big game hunting, with large organized hunts occurring on Endor, Lok and Yavin IV. It seemed from the holos that casualties were minimal, which was always positive. Mos Eisley had been attacked again by Tusken Raiders, but the citizens pushed them back, while increased farming on Dantooine had stirred up the Kunga Tribesmen. Both incursions had been successfully turned back, but the sudden appearance of large numbers of Nightsisters on Dathomir had almost overrun the small Imperial outpost there. That must have been something to see, she mused. Nightsisters were not the kindest of neighbors to deal with.

Last month, the Imperial Game Commission had placed a premium on krayt dragon hides. That would explain the sudden surge in dragon hunting on Tatooine and the subsequent large hunting parties. Several large outdoor events had been staged as well: the society pages were full of slightly embarrassing pictures from Learning, Inyri, El'layn and PhantomLeader's birthday parties. She had no idea how the Ithorian had climbed into the fountain in Doaba Guerfel, but it seemed like he was having a good time. It was his birthday, after all.

She took a long drink of her tea and stretched. As fun as it was to idle away time on the holonet, it was time to get to work. She keyed in her security code, and opened up the Imperial Intelligence documents. Next to her on the table, her tea slowly went cold as she sifted through the reports. The Rebels had been busy.

Somehow, they had managed to locate and activate several databanks from the wreckage of the Death Star. Most of the data had been recovered, but several Rebel agents had escaped with some of the data. Imperial Intelligence had tracked them to Tatooine, then recovered the datapads during a covert raid of Jabba the Hutt's Palace. Somehow, the Rebels located the Imperial regiment guarding the datapads, then engaged the troopers at the Oasis and stole them back. It appeared the Empire gave chase, following them to Corellia, then finally to Rori in an attempt to crush that particular cell. She frowned as she read the battle report. Something had to be done about the insurgents.

While on Rori, the Rebels had located a former Imperial operative and strong-armed him into giving up information on the Empire's shipping lanes. They had attempted to rob a storage facility on Endor, but were badly beaten as they escaped. Kellina read and reread the last report. The Rebels had last been seen on Dantooine: there was no doubt they had taken what they could and made their way back to their long-abandoned base in the north. She laid her datapad in her lap and leaned back into her chair. The base was in a strategically sound position, but it hadn't been used in months. It would take time for the Rebels to get enough manpower and supplies there to make that a viable position. So far, there had been no increase in traffic to the sector. If they were holed up on Dantooine, they were being quiet about it.

Outside her windows, the sun was slipping below the horizon, and the wind was slowly dying off as she silently mulled the reports. Sending a platoon of stormtroopers in to wipe out the cell wasn't an option yet, since the Rebels had a way of slipping out of even the worst situations. The Empire needed intelligence first: reliable, up-to-date tactical assessments of their position in the old base. There was only one person she could think of who could get them that kind of intel.

She pulled her comlink from her pocket. "Imperial Center, get me Ekaika Forge."

[dedaskalion]

OMFG a bi-weekly.

[Valkyra]

Enjoy you guys!

[Tonedus]

Nice update, cant wait for it to go live on Nova :-)

[fettman]

Woot dare i say that us amature developers may get new toys to play with soon too LOL

[ivelios]

I think it will be great to get back on the grind. It kind of takes some of the fun out of the game when you just have to click on a gungan to max a profession and get a full kit of gear.

Also, now that mission terms and lairs are working, it will actually feel rewarding to go out and explore. Also the in-game economy will actually matter, for a change.

From a strictly developmental perspective, the fact that everyone will be running around grinding instead of just hanging around Theed all day will probably result in many more bugs being reported, due to the more thorough testing of gameplay mechanics.

A quick question (if anyone has the time to answer), how many credits will players start off with? How many did we start off with back in the day (does anyone remember)?

[dominius]

Awesome. Many thanks to everyone.

[xavjer]

Thanks for the info, Max, after your response to the SWGEmu status, I kinda hoped for such an announcement. ;)

Even more exciting, though, is the addition of complete, correct, and fully functional Bounty Hunter missions of both the PvE and Player variety. This addition sees the Bounty Hunter profession working effectively as intended as per Patch 14.1.


Is this the official confirmation of jedi implementation in the game (a test version maybe)?

Please confirm or correct me if I'm wrong.

[Max]

Just one question, dunno if i missed it, is CH in?

EDIT:

Another one, will all starting locations be enabled now?
CH will not be in unfortunately.

As for starting locations, as far as I know all starting locations should be available from the selection terminal in the space station.

I can 100% confirm that player bounties will be available as they were in Pre-CU.

[Chayn]

WOOT!!!! Is Taunt in? Petty, I know, but it would make my noob/rifleman/wifes experience more enjoyable if I could keep aggro off of her.. lol :)

[Vlada]

CH will not be in unfortunately.

Thank you Max.

Now to decide where to start, Tatooine anyone?


I can 100% confirm that player bounties will be available as they were in Pre-CU.

Maybe this is a better quote about Jedi implementation.

I Feel it too...

[ziggystardust]

woot, nice update. cant wait to get stuck into all this new stuff!

[xavjer]

I can 100% confirm that player bounties will be available as they were in Pre-CU.

Does something bad happen if you clearly write "jedi"? :D


Will multiple toons per account still be allowed (doc/ent bots)?

[RegularJohn]

:O:O

[Smyth]

Thank you very much for all the time and effort you have put into giving this to us!! Even if some of us do seem ungrateful at times, we do appreciate all the hard work you put into this. Even the smack talkers... ;)

[Lubbe]

Would be weird not having armor, weapons or buffs. I can't wait to get started :D

[morganellie]

Excellent news, glad to hear med crafting is back and that Talus is open, that'll mean I can get some Talusian Water Vapour for my med components

Damned exciting news, this'll mean a lot of group hunting with no blue frogs, wonder if people will migrate over to Tatooine? we may even see people back in Anchorhead!

[Dafole]

This is just to great!!!! cant wait until server are up!!!

[BigEvil]

High-Fives and Handshakes all around!!

[Vuse]

Anyone ever see the youtube video of the college kid playing WoW who finally got his first lvl 60 character? He got up and started running all over the place waving his hands in the air and screaming at the top of his lungs .... well that was me about an hour ago lol.

The grind is back ... time to separate the men/woman from the boys/girls. Just wondering how many people are going to sit back idle now until the community grows enough.

Side note *betting energy drinks and Mountain Dew do very well in the stock market over the next few weeks lol*

[Wint3rz]

Superd job devs, cant wait for server to be up :D

Awesome update! :D

[Kaimerai]

Yaaaaayyy :D

[Lobreeze]

Does this mean no more line of trainers in Theed by the public crafting stations?

[slyyke]

Holy Mary, Mother Of God... :eek:

I definitely second that

[KroniK]

Awesome update this one really makes it feel like the original game.

I'm not 100% lobreeze but I think it might.

[emperoranubis]

Sweet! Working crafting! This is gonna be awesome, I've been waiting so long for this :eek:

[Emerzon]

Thrillingly, Magseal and other containers are now working and able to be sliced! Get to it smugglers!

You got it boss, GREAT update! Thanks to the entire team for all the work they have done to get us to this stage of the game, KEEP IT UP!!!;)

[Torchsinger]

will the GUILD TERMINAL still be operational?

[atticus13]

*Keeps trying to log in , in anticipation....* :lightsaber:

[Rodd]

totally worth the wait!!

[dedaskalion]

will the GUILD TERMINAL still be operational?

Looking forward to the answer to this.

[MikeCool]

Good to see something finally updated with this.

Nice job, would like to see another Bi Weekly update next month. ;)

[Lubbe]

I believe CH and buildings will arrive when OR is done.

[cRush]

Why wouldn't the guild terminal be operational

[Pelopunky]

I'm new here, so sorry for this question:

When will be the server opened again?

PF:Sorry, I'm spanish XD

[AZIronman]

I honestly didn't expect this to happen in 09. I'm pleasantly surprised.

Thanks for proving me wrong.

[Lobreeze]

There isn't much left in the game NOT implemented is there? That's pretty f'ing epic.

[happysem]

AWESOME UPDATE!

I just got chills.

RELEARNING LANGUAGES! Thats how it should be!

I can't wait to start grinding!

[cRush]

I'm new here, so sorry for this question:

When will be the server opened again?

PF:Sorry, I'm spanish XD

When it's ready...

Realistically - within the next 32 hours.

[happysem]

Oh real quick, what about vendors?

[odwill]

This update rocks my socks! Excellent job Emu team!! A big Thank you to everyone in the community who waited patiently for this to be completed. Enjoy!

[Amitrov_Derinth]

I find it funny in a strangely ironic way that I just started playing last night and now this happens. :)

I'm happy, of course, nonetheless. Well done guys.

[club4542001]

Ya know i have longed for a pre-cu game since the CU came out and never found one. I am simply amazed on what u guys have done here. just found it a couple weeks ago this is just awsome can't even word how excited i am about this great job everyone that had part in building this epic game once again:lightsaber:

[MonJoe]

I was hoping for the return of structures but this more than enough. I have been wandering through my game collection trying to find satisfaction but now I can get some serious playing in. Thanks a lot!

Hmm seeing as we not have vendors will it be possible to increase the amount of things you can sell on bazaar until structures/vendors are added?

[Kayliaah]

Holly Pokemon!!

This is the most epic update ever!
I literally jumped all over the room and almost said Yatta like a retard.

Too much information for my brain I can't believe it.

Max has mastered the Ninja profession with that update.

Impressive, mooooooost impressive.
I have the feeling the TC is going to have a HARD time in the next days. :D
Finally! Back to heavy testing!

Love you guys.

[opoke]

Totally fantastic and ridiculously awesome. I check in on the status of this project from time to time and even do a little testing when I can. Recently, I got the bug again, and a week later is the best update I've seen. Nothing short of you announcing the launch of TC:Suncrusher could have made me this happy.

Seriously, keep up the good work. Amazing job. So much love and respect to everyone who's poured their heart and soul into this beast for making it what it is and what we all hope it eventually (and once again!) be. Thanks so much!!!

[Craigybbz]

nice update i love the fact that BH PvP missions is going to be in worth the wait i say roll on suncrusher :)

I just want to thank all of you for bringing our beloved game back to us. Just a quick question, will the harvesters work now or will we still have to grind out the materials?
Thankyou so much.

[Tropicana]

Thank you very much for the update Max, I am glad to see that you stood by your word, that makes me feel much more trusting of this project.

Just re-read it it's so good. :D

Bazaar preview, I was right ! <3
Junk Dealers.
NPC's finally have something else to say.



Do the NPC's only respond to the player who talk to them now?
Because seeing "I have nothing to say to you." spammed in spatial is quite annoying as you never really know who is the spammer.

funny thing about that, is that some npc actually talk to you when you arent even talking to them, they just start talking when you run past them.

hope that is fixed :O

[Sadeous]

Thank the Maker!!! Great job Team thank you all so much for this :D

[Kayliaah]

Same!
Well, that's how they should react, I remember when the devs first added the Commoners on the TC, they later added the emotes so you could see the NPC's "talking" with each other, and later it got magically bugged. :(

NPC's should have moods, emotes, should random talk to the passer-by...
I even remember a few attackable NPC's doing Exotic 4. :D

I also can't wait to see them patrol, it's gonna feel so good.

[praxi34]

An absolutely amazing update, words cant describe it. The home stretch is officially here. :)

[Darksund]

thank you devs! man... this is awsome gonna master TKA first!

QA Team Additions

The QA team has had applications open for a couple of weeks now, and we had a fantastic response. We would now like to formally welcome the following members to the team, who will be helping out test these new additions to the TC as well as the OR into the future.


Aceblade
Alex1tmac
BigEvil
Masterage
Malmeister
Obeo
Tovo




I'm highly disappointed that I didn't make the cut. I blame most of it on my recent hibernation.

[Kayliaah]

Omg droids!
That's so great.

Dame hax!

[Rivendal]

I have followed the project for a long time, but I've only recently actually found some discs and started playing. I'm very excited to see how far you guys have come and I can't wait to see what it plays like when the servers come back up. Great job devs!

[Master Chief]

Based on what I've seen and adding this update, this update will, in short, be the final patch needed for all the missing content between here and what SWG used to be, so this should probably be the final push towards the launch of 1.0!

[Master Chief]

Well you would know more than me, so what else would there to be done aside for testing?

DEVs... Marry me! :P

Hey, it would be the greatest honor to join their ranks!

[RedFive]

Hmmm, says online...

[ANewHope]

So is it up then?

[marauder144]

It's up but you need an admin's permission or something...I just checked.

They got our hopes up for nothing. :(

EDIT: It says you need an account, I misread it.

[Kayliaah]

Login bug, up, but not really. :)

If you can't login, then it's d... bugged.

[Omegataco]

it's d... .

No not the "d" word! Don't say it!

[Kayliaah]

No not the "d" word! Don't say it!

I know it was close. :(

[Dame]

internal testing, still gonna be a bit longer folks

[Kayliaah]

Dame has spoken.

[ANewHope]

So bluefrogs are gone for templates as well, not just gear?

[Lobreeze]

A Froggy Affair

One thing which will surely be noticed by all is the fact that blue frogs have been completely removed from the Test Centre. Everything you should need to function in the galaxy will now be crafted by other players, or if brave enough, looted from mobs using the new and improved loot table featuring: lootable crafting components, magseal and other containers spawning loot, a more realistic credit payout from corpses, skill tapes / attachments being lootable and usable, a revision of every creature's loot items and drop rates to be more like Pre-CU and humanoids being the only creatures which drop credits.

you're welcome!

[Kayliaah]

So bluefrogs are gone for templates as well, not just gear?

Gone is gone. :p

And damn it feels good.

[Dafole]

Will we get a complete patch note on this update?

[gustcloak runner]

I cannot wait

[Kayliaah]

"You will find a selection of our favorite changes from this patch outlined here in this Bi-weekly. We hope you enjoy them all."

[silentspanky]

Do not forget when its being updated expect alot of internal testing, restarts, tweeking and down time. Yes this is a Emu we all have been looking at from day one *Well atleast I did. But give more paitence. I myself will be in basic training, then navy training then my armed forces training. Which is like 14 wks + 5 wks + 9 wks = 28 wks of training overall so give or take 6 months. I will be damned if I do not get to see sun crushers launch before I am off which is oct 18th. And trust me I still have paitence for this emu!

In short, do not rush the swg emu team. They are very dedicated and take every little detail as it should be but better! I was around since day one. NGE might be ok but it doesnt compare to pre-cu. Sony would of done ok if they sticked with the skill tree. But they didnt. And I await the added expansions *obi wan, wookies... Plus all those fun quests and JTL!

(Please oh please godly people whom I bow down to. Make sure JTL+Wookie+Obi is gonna be included!!) I do wish for there to be insight on this! i missed the quests and instances and stuff!

[Amitrov_Derinth]

"You will find a selection of our favorite changes from this patch outlined here in this Bi-weekly. We hope you enjoy them all."

Hmmm. So much for my attempt to be clever. Sorry 'bout that. XD

But seriously, I think that they hit everything really worth noting. Everything else with probably be either fixes or features that work in the backgroun or don't make too much of a difference...

[club4542001]

so i tried to log in seeing how it says that nova is online but its saying see an administrator for access is the server up or no?

[inyri]

The server is locked for internal testing. Please be patient while we wrap things up.

[gustcloak runner]

It says the servers are up but it wont let me long in, says auto login is disabled....they still working on it?

says i need an admin login?

help?

[gustcloak runner]

oh lol i just read what u said after i sent the post sorry lol

[marauder144]

lol

[gustcloak runner]

how long do you think before we get to play, i wanna start grinding

[marauder144]

ETA is sometime around tonight EST, but that is subject to change.

[corbaer]

how long do you think before we get to play, i wanna start grinding
Some time between now and October. I promise.

Seriously, they don't know when... if they did, they'd have announced it already. Best answer to any "when" or "how long" question that you can ask is "when it's ready".

[atticus13]

Will Endor still be unpopulated? Just curious...

[gustcloak runner]

lol i have never posted on forum before so this is kinda kool. I was wondering i had a guild going named (GUARD). Maybe you heard of it. I guess that it will be removed as well, and i would like to get the recuit out from under my name and make it better any ideas?

[marauder144]

Good morning all,

At 2:45AM EST, Test Center Nova was taken offline for a full patch update and database wipe. For information on the technicalities of what was added with this patch, please see the latest Bi-Weekly Update here (http://www.swgemu.com/forums/showthread.php?p=408957).

As noted, the update will include a full database wipe. This means all characters, items and non-static objects which previously existed on the server will now be deleted. This is a necessity of patching. We apologize for the inconvenience.

The update should take a number of hours. I'm afraid I cannot give you an exact estimate at this time, however this thread will be updated with any new information.

EDIT: Latest estimate stands around Evening on Sunday Eastern. Very rough and subject to change.

Thank you for your patience, and have fun with the massive updates that are coming on to the Test Center today!

From the Wipe/Update/Downtime post. Or something like that.

[gustcloak runner]

bummer....

[Tabatron]

Gosh, it's been a while. The news is awesome!

[gustcloak runner]

So much for my insane lance....

[gustcloak runner]

I have now realized that i am not very patient

[ANewHope]

Is CH in? :(

[Audune]

Yeah the only thing remaining of the Blue Frogs is the spot their feet left not covered by dust.

And man, its a beautiful thing =3

[tehmulletman]

As it has been mentioned before, the Object Restructure will not make it to the public test center until it is significantly finished. This update is in no way connected to the Object Restructure and is solely a present from us to you, the community. We hope you will find enjoyment in the hard work we have poured into completing a significant portion of the game-play.


and we all appreciate what you are doing thank you very very much for all the hard work you guys/gals are putting into this we are all very thanksfull
:mangrin: THANK YOU VERY MUCH :D

Lol we are all waiting for the inevitable moment when the server will come back online.

yah thats true xD but still if i leave the character just runing i can pass over the place... >.< there is something like a waypoint autopilot?... kuz watching my character's ass for one hour isnt my concept of fun xD hahahaha

and for the other guy before... its true never played SWG before this... and if the systems were like this before its ok im still loving the game, but one thing walking isnt that funny when the map looks so... naked... the plants are plain and there is not too much thing to look when u are walking around im pretty sure u know what i mean xD

If spawns are properly distributed... you won't be auto-running anywhere. Hopefully there will be a good distribution of spawns (or of course the dynamic spawns w/ lairs, that are likely not in place).

[gustcloak runner]

I guess all guilds are wiped out as well

Apparently not:

I just might have to pull out 300 and watch it also.

If people are this excited for just a dinky patch for the TC, imagine how freaking ecstatic everyone will be on THE Launch Day. I can't even picture it. :O


Just hope all those stress tests pay off and the mass log ins don't crash the servers.

Hey guys!! imagine going back and D/L the trial version, checking forums for any potential rollbacks to pre-cu and then finding out 2 weeks ago that this EMU project was almost complete.

Christmas came early this year!!!!!

i was around since launch and i am so excited that this is happening. I want to say good job to everyone that has brought this into existence!!!!

EDIT: By "dinky" I mean it's a TC patch.

EDIT of the EDIT: Donations shot up like $100 dollars. Wow.

It will be a world record for the largest number of orgasm's at the same time...

Yeah, by the "dinky" comment, I meant that this won't be much compared to Launch Day. Clearing up confusion there. :)

Has happened before... but all that can be done, is done to prevent such SOE launchday-like catastrophe's. Most of the things that can be done relate to the Truffle Shuffle however.

christ, if we are all this excited now, how on earth will we act the day the game is actually done...

i cant begin to imagine it

srsly

I feel so giddy right now its scary. Almost as good as SWG day 1 :).

I remember day one. I actually got logged in, looked around the windowed floors of the tutorial for ten seconds and crashed. Not able to log in again until they restarted everything the next day.

Waiting to get back in was like sneaking a peek at the Christmas tree at 3AM and seeing all the presents, but not able to actually open anything until after 8AM. Just like tonight. I am giddy also.

This. Everything I wanted to say. Right in this convenient little post right here.

Sir, I bow to your exceptional ability to put what I was thinking into good words.

:bow:
