Not so much coming back as playing for the first time. Pre-NGE has some weird design choices that I'm still getting used to.

Any of you crafter-types have any online resources for finding things like server best materials, grinding guides, etc? Been thinking of getting a chef/tailor and BE character combo out for some variety.

Holy poo poo Basi is unstable as gently caress. Figured since it's a few days post patch it would be fine. Wow this population is low. I thought Jedi would spike it. It barely breaks 1k people at peak time (up from 800 peak). It would regularly break 2k during the Goontown glory days.

Maybe we'll see an uptick over the weekend but I would've thought any significant resurgence in popularity will be down to JTL release or Suncrusher going live. Jedi is cool and all, but it's a pretty punishing grind on a server that is eventually going to go *poof*.

This has historical data, current spawns with maps, and a lot of filters so you can see what is best currently for whatever you're looking for and what you want for the best if you can find it mouldering in some half-stocked random vendor: http://galaxyharvester.net

Yeah, the rubberbanding is real right now. I do see it break 1k more than before, but the server doesn't seem to stay up longer than 3-4 hours at a time. Thanks for the link.

As of Sunday afternoon the population is hovering near 1300 simultaneous, so definitely a Jedi bump. Rubberbanding and extreme lag spikes are still a thing, though.

Probably less percentage-wise than pre Pub9. I seem to see a lot more people running around doing things than before. A lot more random encounters in the wild as compared with pre-patch, and those I found were mostly ATK. So, at least it seems more lively. Though I'm sure we've got more bots, in the mix.

I was one of the rare Master Docs who actually liked manually buffing in Coronet Medcenter. It was a nice social experience, what can I say.  Got way more tips too.

I'm having quite the fun time there I've been having fun with the pre-CU stuff, and honestly one of the Legends people acted like an insufferable dick on the SWGEmu reddit which, while I know is not like rare for reddits or anything, did pretty effectively eliminate my desire to give it a chance.

Theophany posted:What’s the difference between Legends and SWGEmu? Legends is like Stella Bellum, running NGE. It's (apparently?) pretty much feature complete. SWGEmu and related servers are emulating the pre-NGE game. It is still lacking JTL.

AFAIK there's two main branches of SWG out there. The SWGEmu code and the old SOE source code. The old source code is NGE + JTL, while the SWGEmu code has been building up from scratch and is just starting to think about touching JTL.

cuedotcom posted:Tl;dr I'm currently using Aftermath server instead of Basilisk, but I still have my TKM with some really minor Jedi work done on Basi if there's something I can offer. Advice: 1) Basi's economy is bloated beyond recognition, to your benefit. For example, speeders are so devalued that it's literally cheaper to buy a new one than it is to repair an existing one. Good weapons and 80-90% armor are relatively cheap. Once you get a small amount of credits rolling in you can equip yourself with impressive gear pretty quickly. Your first purchase should probably be a speeder (at ~5k). 2) For simple PvE, you're looking at either Swordsman or Rifleman. If you decide you want to be a Jedi-hunting bounty hunter the FOTM last time I kept track of the theorycrafting wias TKM (Tera Kasi Master). 3) Buffs are everything, and can be found around Mos Eisley reliably on Basi. If you're like me this will take a little bit of apprehension to get over asking for buffs and learning how to interact with the bots, but buffs are phenomenally important. In particular, if you exceed 1500 in your secondary stats (after armor reduction), your special attacks will cost nothing. This is pretty important, especially if you go Rifleman with a fuckoff man-portable artillery piece for a rifle. Don't ask me how many times I've forgotten to apply my full Mind buffs and get myself killed by sapping my Mind on the first group in a hunt.

Yeah, before you do anything from the mission terminals, get 6 buffs from a doctor, and listen to a musician while watching a dancer for three minutes for baseline buffs. It's also important to make sure you have plenty of food - I use two +mind drinks and a +accuracy food for rifleman levelling, and it makes it so I can spam AOE targets for maximum effectiveness. Make sure you take missions that are on the lower end of the pay scale at first so you can learn the ropes - right now I'm trying to figure out how to 'solo group' grind on dantooine for incredible exp, but it's all a little confusing to me. Also pay a lot of attention to your weapon's stats. Weapon quality is determined by the quality of the ingredients and the skill of the crafter, so two weapons of the same type can be completely different - one useful, one useless. Like for instance right now I'm using a T21 rifle (the type of gun that basically defines rifleman) that someone gave me for free, but I need about 16mil to get a top of the line one (which will never happen because I have 500k and no money, though I've been told Jantas (?) are a good source of income) Basically SWG is a really complicated game that allows you to simultaneously take your character in multiple complementary directions but they're all obfuscated by byzantine mechanics, so figure out what you really want to do with your character before committing to something, and decide on the order you want to level stuff. I levelled marksman to get to rifleman and most of scout in case I decide to go squad leader later, and at the same time I've been slowly working on Medic so I can get to Battle Medic one day, which pairs perfectly with Rifleman because you can do AOE mind damage like no other class and be the ideal in-combat healer, whereas doctors provide buffs and heal debuffs. I suggest messing around with the profession planner tool a little bit. I've probably put like 100+ hours in on this character and I'm still lovely and dumb and have no idea what I'm doing. also general thing, if any goons have like...furniture they don't need, or they're willing to sell for cheap, please send Nasreddin some mail. I got a giant naboo style house in the city of deception on dantooine and it's a giant empty shell atm.

There is an option when crafting to have it not produce an item that would take up space in your inventory. Instead, since you're probably using grind resources (bad stats) and not experimenting anyway, it gives you extra crafting XP and just consumes the materials as if you'd made an item and then destroyed it.

Greatly appreciate the response and offers of support. However, I'm not sure this game is my speed. Recently watched a video covering the pre ce? And other changes. Too much grind and lack of content for me. No nostalgia tug either as I mentioned I didn't play back in the day.

There are alternate servers that run on SWGEmu code with tweaks and variations to taste, some fairly recent. I mentioned I play on Aftermath instead of Basilisk right now. It launched this year, so still fairly fresh, and features gameplay changes I like (modestly increased exp rate, covert/overt/TEF PvP system, and a unique Jedi implementation). I mean, it's still SWG and its still gonna be a sandbox grind, but if the problem is just that Basilisk is stale there are alternatives out there.

I actually rolled a character on Legends and its pretty solid, its basically what StellaBellum was trying to be, though the server has been up over a year, but I havent seen less than 1100 people online at a time yet. They only allow you 1 account, but you can have 6 characters, and 3 logged in at a time. I also like that they do monthly events and dont seem to be afraid of adding new content. I would play on a preNGE server as I like that character system way more, however I hate that there are no quests and its all just grinding...

I've never played this game before but I've been recommended it by numerous people. I've got SWGEmu all installed and set up so just waiting for a free moment when I can have a bit of an explore and see what you can do in it. Some of the YouTube videos I've seen have been interesting but it is the crafting that really grabs my attention. It does seem like a rather deep game to just into though.
