At this time any goon who has registered and PMed me has been added to the Testing access group and should now be able to see the alpha test forum with the download link etc. If you want in, register and PM me your SA name and you will be activated. For those already in: http://www.darklightswg.com/forum/index.php?/topic/273-welcome-to-open-alpha-testing-phase-i/ That post will explain what the status is on everything in the test and provide you with the download for the launcher.

Levarris posted:Bounty Hunter is now a "Secondary Profession" which only includes the investigation line. It is something you can choose with any primary profession. So you could be for example a Jedi / BH, a Commando / BH and so on. gently caress yeah, now I can hunt Sith Lords and get paid for it. I call dibs on the Jedi Council.

SweetBro posted:So is there a reason to ever not kill yourself with an alt if you ever have any non-substantial amount of bounty on your head? No, however you would be as unlikely to randomly pull your own alt's mission than you would to pull any specific person's mission. You don't know the target's name until you roll up on them, and all Player bounties are the same price.

I forget, didn't you say you would also be balancing armors so that composite isn't necessarily king anymore? What about cosmetic slots for clothing to appear instead of the armor you're wearing? I may be trying this out, but only if my most favorite profession (tailor) still has a good/better reason to exist. As it stood in pre-CU, tailor stuff was really only useful for non-combat people with slotted clothes.

I'll second that. If it's just another world where the only variation between players is what color their composite is, I lose interest.

All armors have the possibility of the same potential yes, so it's not a choose your composite armor color as the limitation of choice anymore. As far as clothing goes, appearance tab is something I would love to do, it would be a stretch goal if anything.

Only had a little bit of time to play last night and this morning, just playing it like it was a fresh server: make a character, level up normally, try to be self-sufficient, etc. Started as Beast Master and it's pretty cool, but the XP is hilariously slow to start with compared to the combat XP I end up getting. Not a huge deal, but it's worth noting for later. I ran into an issue with Ranger being impossible to level because it caps the Scout XP you can have at I think 2000 XP and you need 10k for the first level (these numbers might be off - I'm not on right now). Also, unless I'm doing something wrong, DNA sample doesn't work - it always tells you you're not skilled enough. I'll try to be on later to jump on TS/Mumble and see what's up with everyone.

The levelling curve should feel about the same across the board. iamthehans posted:When/ho long is it going to be open for the goon testing? if its up tonight i'll craft some meds Until the end of the open pubbie alpha weekend later this month. Until the start of that weekend it's goons only. Pubbies only get to try it for 3 days.

Levarris posted:Open Alpha Testing from 2/27/16 at 00:00hrs to 2/29/16 at 00:00hrs Eastern Standard Time. I don't really have the time to commit to test but I hope everything works out great! The changes sound well thought out. Will definitely be interested once the alpha is up semi-permanently. The biggest barrier will be getting people to give it a shot, I hope the swgemu purists give it a chance.

I had Scout experience stop entirely for me. I started as Officer and Ranger secondary. I dropped Officer for Beast Master and kept Ranger. I stopped receiving Scout xp. This was all done the old fashioned way before I found the frog. I'd agree with the Beast Master difficulty, as well. I didn't dedicate a whole lot of time to it, but the only thing I could tame at Novice was a chuba; he was getting me 50xp each mob I killed that he got a shot or two in on. I switched to Soldier (Light Infantry) and had enough to go straight into the second box. Carbines seem like they are still very broken, as I was able to do significantly less with the second box and CDEF carbine than I was with Novice Officer and the CDEF pistol.

I've had a quick go at crafting, and I've noticed that both artisan assembly and experimentation cap out at +40 in all the trader professions, which only gives you 5 artisan experimentation points overall, when master artisan in pre-cu gave you +100 to both and 10 crafting points. This might hamstring people looking to make decent crafting tools and the basic items that use artisan assembly and experimentation, I dunno if it's worth adding more artisan skills as you skill up? Crafting seems good so far in munitions trader, rather enjoying it!

I believe artisan experimentation only applies to specific items that were solely for artisans and there are additional skill mods for specific crafting archetypes that fill out the rest of the points for things like armor, clothing, etc. Not to mention wearable skilltape mods, and food. HexiDave posted:Groovy. Do you have an official issue tracker? I can just post stuff there if I find anything.

This was all done the old fashioned way before I found the frog. I haven't personally done any testing on scouting / ranger as all I did was literally merge the skillboxes of ranger / scout into one tree. I'll look at that asap, there is absolutely no reason you should stop receiving that xp type unless for some oddball reason the server thinks you are at the cap for that xp type.

Before people would just trade you starter pets for free, I think it took me about 30-40 tries to finally tame a baby outside of Kadaara. Leveling them sucked too. I'm not saying this because I'm a jaded vet, and want you to deal with the same poo poo you probably went through leveling a BM in pre-CU before, but most people tend to forget how bad leveling that initial profession actually was before they could get buffs/help/etc. I actually wouldn't be apposed to Levarris increasing the XP for BM related things because of how stupidly hard it was pre-CU. I will definitely be adjusting the xp for beasts. This isn't pre-cu anymore and I don't want anything to feel glacially slow. As for speeder durability, it shouldn't.

Oh sure, I did plenty of grinding back pre-CU and I know the pain. But, I was mostly referring to the XP gained in comparison to the other professions. I was getting 3-4k Combat XP per kill and 50 XP for Beast Master only if I sent the creature to attack. In order to do that - since it was only a baby - I had to do a weak attack first to get their attention while sneaking the critter in for a quick hit or two. I haven't had a chance to test other combat professions in the new system, but I bet it wouldn't take nearly as long to level (hours for the first box). I'm sure getting a beefier pet gifted would help a lot, but just starting out solo means really uneven leveling time. Anyways, as Levarris says, it'll get adjusted in time and I mostly wanted to make a note of my own experience. As for BE being rolled into BM: it is, but as of yesterday DNA sampling is bugged so I can't test it.

Hey Levarris, I ran a batch import from the SWG assets to UE4 a few nights ago after talking with you (and playing, it was awesome!!, killer job on the Hex Heroing because holy gently caress I would never do that) just for kicks, and found that the good ol .msh still translates well to our newfangled modern vectors that also contain 3 floats. Any comment on the scenario: Would it just have been a better expenditure of talent and resources to port the old SWG to a new engine, since the server seems to handle a good portion of the logic load? In regards to the original SWGEmu team direction. Thanks

Thanks Perhaps, but the EMU team would never have directly supported an effort like that, it would be too flagrant a EULA violation for them and they've tried to stay within a certain legal gray area.

I think the most tragic thing about the SWGEmu is Nostalgia getting in the way of actually improving the game. Hopefully the Suncrusher team will do that once they hit publish 14 I really hope someone does the mission system 2.0, it's something SOE always intended to do for the Pre-CU version of the game.
