That was myself and Synge, and that project was tossed out because it was broken garbage, not due to any drama like that. I think there were only a handful of people that were even interested in it.

I miss Stardust! After I burned out on supplying armor and arms to our small community for what felt like forever I got into something else and kinda moved on before all of the drama, but it was a refreshing take on SWG. Afterlife brought it back mostly and I hit Jedi there too, but they made the XP requirements for building a template way higher and it just become too much. I never did their new content - they archived the DB and said they would bring it back if there was enough interest.

Yeah, I never did the new content on SD, that's why I thought it was Afterlife's, but I guess they did tweak stuff. I'm glad the Jaaku instance stayed, that place was awesome for grinding

the intro to this server's old trailer really captures the energy that causes these projects to fail https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AeHyI9HP7Q all the spinoffs may end in drama but swgemu still chugs along over a decade later, gotta give them credit for that Goast fucked around with this message at 04:36 on Mar 15, 2022 |

I am curious how you found it considering that it's unlisted. There is a backstory to the audio clip in there though. "Elysium" as it was called, is what for me came before Stardust. We basically tried to build a better NGE within a pre-cu environment. By the time we finished it though NGE leaked source servers existed and it was basically redundant. We gave up on it like a few weeks after launch when we had a whopping 15 people on the server. Levarris fucked around with this message at 08:23 on Mar 15, 2022 |

That’s a great question, I was from starsider (before it was cool, might I add), and I havent thought to ask. Legends is pretty great. Active community, they push new updates out relatively frequently, it’s a good time.

Is there a no-BS guide to all of the different servers these days? I'm looking for Pre-CU, minimum nepotism/drama, and very open to the idea of accelerated XP, but wouldn't sacrifice the other two for it. E: Started on Finalizer. What's the best way to get some credits on your first character? Erotic roleplay in the cantinas? Bulky Bartokomous fucked around with this message at 18:06 on Apr 28, 2023 |

dead thread, but I'll respond to this:Bulky Bartokomous posted:Is there a no-BS guide to all of the different servers these days? I'm looking for Pre-CU, minimum nepotism/drama, and very open to the idea of accelerated XP, but wouldn't sacrifice the other two for it. missions are the surest way to slowly build into a decent money pile on a fresh character. Once you get ~40k, get an upgraded weapon for whatever combat style you settled on. That should carry you all the way to a finished template, when you can start working on an "end game" weapon. Pick up armor after the weapon, and start getting buffs when you get to solo mission payouts of about 3k/per. Try to get missions for animals that don't have too many state effects.

Anyone have info on swg restoration? It's the first server I've seen that doesn't require game discs and I've always wanted to try swg, but they didn't really have a good new player guide and I had no idea what was going on, just that han solo wanted me to make a speeder then a mayor wanted me to look at bugs and poo poo haha.

Resto is based on a period of SWG that only lasted for a couple of months. It's absolutely my favourite period of the game, but even the live game at that time was very broken. I'd start with the various theme parks (rebel, imperial, jabba, nym) if you're looking for (bare minimum) storyline content. Then it's worth doing the Hero of Tattooine questline which is from memory is easily soloable post-CU and worth it for the self-rez artifact. Beyond that the Jedi grind is far more accessible than it is in a lot of pre-CU environments and pretty regimented in terms of 'do x to get y.' Resto also has Jump to Lightspeed implementation so you can work your way through the various pilot factions and squadrons. It's repetitive and grindy but if you're playing SWG and enjoying it that should be right up your street

I've been casually chilling with a group of pubbies on Finalizer now and haven't run into anything weird or problematic in our city chat (New Hope City on Tat). Generally it's all been pretty chill. YMMV though I guess.

Anybody still on Legends? New patch notes just dropped for the start of their Empire Day event and apparently they added the Assault Gunboat from TIE Fighter. Tryna find pictures but it’s still so wild to me that SWG is receiving updates in various forms in TYOOL 2023 https://swglegends.com/forums/showthread.php?63812-Development-Update-June-2023&p=658011#post658011

There's a ton more people on Legends, but I just started playing on Restoration, I haven't yet given the CU combat emu servers a shot. I figure I might as well. Legends seems to have a lot more support for the client with UI mods to help with resolution issues and the like, however. Using the same as my username in game or noisecomplaint on Discord if anyone's around on Restoration. I might be convinced to play on Legends if there's a group starting there, though.

After spending a few days on Restoration, I have to say that it really is the most fun version of SWG for me. A lot of quality of life stuff, tons of quest lines, collections to do, combat actually has buttons to press. It still has the full sandbox but with fully implemented GCW stuff. The Restoration guys are actively doing passes on the classes as well. Smuggler is about to get a bit of an overhaul according to their devs on Discord. I joined some tiny guild that's barely online, but I'm going to talk to another one tonight and see if I can get in. The server is decently populated at all hours, but small enough that even 4-5 very active players in a guild could be a powerhouse. The game actually looks pretty drat good still with the various hi-res texture packs/mods, reshade, and some tweaks to make the UI work at high resolutions. I'm doing the Legacy quest chain right now and it starts you off with a speeder, some weapons, and massive amounts of experience for doing the quest chain. It's actually very fun instead of grinding animal nests for hours.

Oh, I'll jump on Legends and grab that gunboat. Their implementation of JTL has been a lot of fun for me and running space merc missions is an easy and fun way to fund my stupidly-decorated house habit.

Yeah I wound up on Legends just because of the player base and it's been incredible. The combat is extremely not that bad and the sheer amount of content is wild. The big thing is that the server isn't filled with only die hard SWG people. There's a pretty vibrant community of folks just doing their thing decorating houses, having RP events, Entertainer-playing lifers, etc. Which is what made SWG so great. They implemented all the late game live stuff along with their own content including hard mode instances, the home brewed Bespin expansion is wild, and with the ILM and other high res client mods the game even looks pretty good. Especially after you change up a system variable to allow the SWG client to use the proper amount of RAM. I'm definitely going to be sticking with Legends for a long time. My combat character is Noise Complaint in game, I found a very large guild of pubbies that's extremely chill with no racism or slurs or weird fascist roleplaying in Crusaders of Rejects.

I still haven't had time to play on Legends, but its the SWG with the combat revamp right with only like 9 classes? I really like the original combat and skill system of SWG, but might be worth it to play on Legends to see the other combat system.

Yeah I signed up on a lark last night and it’s got the class system and JTL, so it’s like CE rather than NGE, I think. Still waiting on admin approval but I plan on rolling a medic and giving it a try, Project Gorgon didn’t do it for me but the big hall of player vendors compelled me to seek out SWG again. I leveled a character to skillcap on Legends in 2017 and again in 2020 or so and had a loving great time, the skill system matters to me but I can accept the more generic one if it still retains all the important stuff and it seems like Legends does

I really like the original combat and skill system of SWG, but might be worth it to play on Legends to see the other combat system. It's NGE as it was when they shut down the servers plus years of adding onto by the Legends staff. The combat has been improved substantially from the garbage at launch and I would even argue that at this point, it's good. The important thing is you have to assign a button to toggle auto attack and turn on firing abilities from the hotbar, and it plays like any other game's combat system. You target, turn on auto attack, and press abilities on your bar. The classes are there, but are flexible, with the "missing" classes from launch added back in, or baked in to every class. For example, you can spend points in creature handler and bio engineer on any class. Entertainer has a melee combat tree, trader can use droids and items to do combat, etc. Once you level a combat class to max, you can switch freely between classes at the respec vendor for a bit of cash. Combat, entertainer, and trader levels are all separate, so you can level all 3 on the same class, and that doesn't go away when you respec, so you can level a class to max in combat, trader, and entertainer and freely spec between. You also get 5 character slots with 3 being allowed to be on at the same time. The Legends team added their own expansion pack and planet in Bespin which uses more modern textures and looks incredible, also hard mode dungeon. Legends also works with a series of mods called ILM, which I can post the link to if interested, which upscales quite a few textures in the game. People on their discord have been working hard upscaling textures, models, effects, and updating the UI. This is what mine looks like with some updated terminal and shuttle textures with the ILM UI. (linked for huge) https://i.imgur.com/NhXRB7N.jpg I was vehemently against the NGE game since it came out, but the Legends community sucked me in and I've never had so much fun playing SWG. There's *years* of content and entire planets to catch up on, and theres legit thousands of people on at any given time, it's more active than live SWG servers were. Last night I was watching a guy in my guild go on a hard mode dungeon run with another guy that decided he was going to be a combat crafter. The guy was kitted out like SWG batman, with cybernetic prosthetics, a completely capped out kimogila pet, special items, throwable weapons, battle rez gloves, etc. The skill trees might not be there, but you can still do whatever the hell you want. Also, you never have to look at another mission terminal again if you don't want to. If interested, I'd be willing to make a new thread since this one is mostly dead with an effortpost about Legends. Edit: Also the Staff runs live events like SOE used to, today was Order Fishy Fish, a monthly fishing competition at the Lake Retreat in Naboo.
