Camera: You can now rotate the camera all the way around your ship in space when you have it unlocked.
Character Sheet: When viewing another player's Character Sheet, hitting the 'Alt' key will toggle the sheet on and off. To bring up your own Character Sheet while viewing another player's, hit 'C' or 'Alt' once to turn off the current sheet and 'C' again to bring up yours.
Combat: Added an option to have creature names and radar symbols blink when they are in combat with the player. Turn on "Creature Names and Radar Symbols Blink when in Combat" in the user interface options to enable this feature.
Combat: Experience point reward flytext will now fly over the mob giving the XP rather than always over the character.
Controls: Hitting the tilde key (or whatever key you have bound to opening the radial menu), will now open the radial menu on an object inside an inventory or other container -- if you have no world object selected.
Cybernetic Arm: The Cyborg Critical Strike icon has been changed from the Bounty Check icon to a crosshair.

Notable settings include:

You will walk/run if you hold down both mouse buttons.
Secondary abilities will fire immediately if you select them from the toolbar.
Radar: Left clicking a dot in the radar sets it as the intended target.

In the Officer Profession screen, Officer phase 3 is now referred to as Commander while phase 4 is referred to as the higher rank, Captain.
Toolbar: The toolbar will now indicate if a target is out-of-range for an attack. This will be indicated by a red circle with an "X" on it displayed on the toolbar slot.
Toolbar: Added UI actions for the top row of buttons on the toolbar (Bank 2) called toolbarBank2Slot00 through toolbarBank2Slot11.
Targeting: ESC will now drop the intended target (outlined in a green box), but not the look at target (indicated by a blue box). This fixes some issues with losing track of your target unexpectedly.
Fixes Bug: Clicking on the Space tab in the Professions screen, and then clicking on the Politician tab, would cause a mix of Space and Politician art to appear and make the Politician tab unusable.
Fixes Bug: ‘Describe functionality' in the pop-up menu when right-clicking on hotbar items was broken.
Fixes Bug: Fixed an instance in which the toolbar would become "frozen" or unresponsive to special attacks.
Fixes Bug: If there were too many items to list in the Rewards section of the Profession screen, there would be no scrollbar to indicate that there were more items.
Fixes Bug: If you created a macro with an old-style icon, it would be removed from your toolbar the next time you logged in.
Fixes Bug: If your current selected title was one you received from a badge, opening the Character tab of the Community window would result in the drop-down displaying "No Badge," at which point you could not clear your title until you selected a new title in the interim.
Fixes Bug: Layout on the alarm tab of the options screen would hide the "Add Alarm" button, causing confusion.
Fixes Bug: Resolved some minor graphical issues with the target HAM bar.
Fixes Bug: Occasionally, usually after use of the "Change View" button, datapad tabs would lose all their contents and show a blank page.
Fixes Bug: On some computers, if a player had a weapon equipped, the weapon would render incorrectly on the inventory screen and/or the character sheet.
Fixes Bug: Right-clicking on an inventory item, when you had a radial menu up already, would not correctly move the brackets indicating which item was selected. As a result, the radial menu would sometimes appear to be for the incorrect item.
Fixes Bug: Scroll bars would not appear when the examine text for an item was too long – in either the examine window or in the examine pane of the inventory window.
Fixes Bug: When scrolling the text in the examine pane of the inventory window, or in the examine window itself, the tier, no trade and unique descriptors would sometimes disappear.
Fixes Bug: The "Reset Defaults" button on the Chat Color tab of the Options menu did not work.
Fixes Bug: The "Show Signs" option under the "Misc" tab did not function properly.
Vehicles and Mounts
Players can no longer call the Instant Travel Vehicle in a private instance.
Added an error message that will be displayed if you try to use the Instant Travel Vehicle while mounted.
Visual effects for damage done to BARC Speeders, AB-1 and the Lars Family Vehicle will no display in the correct place.
Bug Fix: Vehicles that place Buff effects on a player will now be correctly removed if the player is ambushed during a smuggling mission.
Mounts: The store pet command is no longer available while you are mounted on a pet, you will have to dismount it first.
Vehicles will no longer stand vertically at the crater on Tatooine (Approx 411,-130,5496).
World
Rage of the Wookiees: Fixed a few Wookiees on Kashyyyk that had both the converse and attack as options at the same time.
Trials of Obi-Wan: Bosses in the Kubaza Beetle Cavern, Decrepit Droid Factory, Koseyet Mining Camp, Working Droid Factory and the Volcano Crater have had their erroneous loot lists removed (which is why those NPCs disappear so quickly).
Points of Interest: Pygmy Tortons of the Pygmy Torton Cave are now moving, making it a little more difficult to navigate around them.
The two cloning facilities in Theed are now differentiated from each other on the cloning list. They are now listed as "Northern Theed" and "Theed."
A flag banner floating in the sky on Dathomir has been removed.
The Naboo police officer is no longer spawning on top of an Imperial/Rebel officer in Theed.
Fixed an issue causing some NPCs in Theed to appear on top of each other.
Vaik'anna Silverlight should no longer fall beneath the steps in Theed.
Vance Groten no longer checks his wrist while explaining that he loves working in Dee'ja Peak.

| SWGStraticsVoice - 7:16 AM PDT | Posted By: RainStar |

 We'll start off with quotes from the Austin Game Conference that were found on Gamasutra.com
Gordon Walton of Bioware Austin::
... You're all a bunch of whiny little b----es. We're all victims of the guys with the money! No. Guess who signs up to make the game. Guess who along the way decides to change things. ... Guess who won't stand up and lose their job rather than ship s--t. I put myself in there. I've done that. I've made bad decisions ... many more times than most people here in this room ... I think the challenge here is, are we agents of our lives, or are we victims? We're talking about, oh, it's going to come from the top down. Well guess what, if nobody will work for those schmucks, it'll come from the bottom up. ... What are they going to do? They don't know how to put it on a disc. ...
The other thing is, we're not holding up our end. Somewhere along the way we caved and promised something we couldn't deliver. So you can't say it's the other guy, it's some other motherf---er. No, it's not. Everybody in this thing is responsible for what happens. Every single person on the team had a opportunity to do better. And I'd like to see more people think about how they're going to make it happen rather than sit up and rant and b---- about it.
Rich Vogel of Bioware Austin:
Looking out at E3 this year, there is nothing innovative coming out in the next three years, and that's pretty sad.
Scott Jennings, senior designer at NCSoft:
Players are like "ravenous locusts," and while Blizzard releases patches with updates to the game regularly, they're not as accessible as they ought to be. The system "is best described as, 'Let's make something so frustrating, people will just post the damned patches for me,'adding that he had a FilePlanet account just to download new WoW patches.
Part of our primary service of an MMO provider is providing the damned MMO. The second part is just being there – letting customers play when they want, as expected, instead of waiting in line – something else WoW doesn't always provide. Further, MMO services should provide respect in the form of competent relations with its players, treating them as people rather than piggy banks.
Raph Koster, formerly of SOE/SWG:
Content isn't worth a damn. What is of value is the relationship between the consumer and the producer. Being good is no longer an exclusive. In a hit-driven business, the epitome of success is to be the Beatles or Elton John, which means having a consistent record of making blockbusters, or almost never screwing up, of always earning out reliably and of doing this over the course of decades. Those people are so rare they are the dodo, and their share of the audience as a percentage of the population is shrinking.
The goal instead should be to be the Grateful Dead. You don't want to be the number one hit, you want a relationship so that you can ding them over and over and over again. The band's t-shirts may make more than their recordings.
SOE's John Blakely and Todd Fiala: Don't make our mistakes.
John Blakely: .....But what I would have done differently was be more sensitive to the target audience. The audience you launch with is the one you've got.
Chris Kramer, Director of Corporate Communications at SOE
In late winter through early spring, SWG was one of SOE's biggest gainers in terms of new players to a live game, coming through both the trials and through new software purchases.
Jason Ryan, the Events Manager for SWG:
We’ve had great responses from the players. The last two patches were player initiated bug fixes and lingering issues. The Expertise system is going in and has been well received.
Alan Crosby, Director of Community Relations at SOE:
Players have been very upbeat on the forums and the questions are mostly about the future and what the game is about moving forward.
Now we go to the SOE/SWG site where Chris Cao made the boards light up.....
The Game vs. the Boards by Dev Chris Cao
Roughly 80% of the people who play SWG never read these boards. We know this from our own internal metrics and it poses an interesting question. Are we talking to people who play the game or posters who play the boards?
I don't mean to imply that the people who post here don't play the game. Far from it. There are thousands of well-constructed, thoughtful, and insightful posts from people who obviously know the game very well. Just read a few lines of these gems and you'll realize that, first and foremost, these people care about the game. Their focus is the game. I think the lion's share of the profession feedback in the last couple publishes is a fantastic example of these players who post.
But, at the same time, these boards are constantly cluttered by the reverse. Posters who play. They use these forums to lash out at others, criticize wantonly, and generally feed their own egos. They regularly attack devs and moderators, clinging to past wrongs and imagined slights. They focus on themselves instead of the game. To them, the boards are the real game.
As devs, we aren’t here to play the board game. We’re here to play, and to make, SWG.
The upcoming chapters will see the remainder of the profession expertise systems implemented. We have a lot of work to do and the feedback from players who post is going to be invaluable. You aren’t going to like every decision we make and we understand that. We have a limited resources and time to accomplish all that needs to be done. But, as I’ve said before, we will be here (on the boards) and we will be listening. If you’re up for a focused discussion of ideas, we welcome you and you can bet you’ll have our attention.
If, however, you feel the need to throw another stone, indulge a rant, whine, pick apart another poster, argue a dead point, rules lawyer, quote ancient history, or engage in any of the other classic board game moves, don’t expect us to pay attention. We have better things to do.
We have some SWG to make. Chris Cao
Editor's Note: To say The game vs the boards thread got a lot of responses from the community would be an understatement.
Raph Koster's post on his his personal website, part of which says this:
Tide’s Horizon and Lum are both talking about this, but I am frankly a little loath to. I don’t want to come across as criticizing, since that’s not really my intent. But lately there’s been a spate of discussion about what community relations is, whether forums should be run, etc.
As you may know, I have fairly firm opinions on this. But that’s not what I want to talk about just now… and really, what I am saying has little connection to the actual original thread that kickstarted the topic yet again.
Edit: since the preceding sentence was apparently not clear enough: this post isn’t about SWG or Chris Cao’s statements. It could just as equally apply to Linden Labs switching to a blog mechanism for communicating to their users, or really any company that sees forums as an adjunct to to the world. Please don’t hijack the discussion to debate a given game’s management.
Here is the rest of what Raph had to say on that matter.
That's it for this edition of interesting quotes and posts.

Some interesting news was released during the chat tonight. Spy, Commando and Medic professions, GCW, armor and other questions got answered by the Devs. Curious? Read on!
Fariq_Asaka: Now that we know that Trader is not being revamped for Chapter 4 and given the lower amount of content that is scheduled for this Chapter, do you think we will be able to do the Commando, Medic, and Spy Expertise systems with Chapter 4?
Rogue_5: Absolutely. I am happy to say that expertise updates for all three of those professions are planned as part of Chapter 4.
fordaith: since it has been brought up that Spy is on deck for chpt 4, heard a rumor that Ranger style items were being added to Spy, any truth to this?
Vapor: We are still very early in the design process for Spy Expertise. As we get further along with the design I would expect to see information posted in the forums. Stay Tuned!
The entire chat can be found on the Stratics SWG HoC Chat Logs page. |
