Star Wars Zombies (Wookiepidia)
Thx Ravekidd
1st Day (Friday)
We attended the TCG panel to learn that much of the given balances to decks are now more inline thx to the new expansion. This is the MMO forum side so I won't further comment on that.
Briefly talking with Loche, we learned the dev team is working diligenty on new art tools so we will see some more wearables and other art assets.
Beast Masters take note!! There are new mutation not in the .tre files that have been added. NO ONE has discovered them as of yet. Keep up the work on your favoite beast type as there could be a nice surpise. Loche wouldn't reveal any hints.
For a suggestion to the dev team, we pitched that a new system should be established to identify buffs for the unexperinced player. Possibly a color or number rated system to show what buff overrides another buff and what catagory a give buff is. This is a very early concept to flesh out.
The New System is: Star Wars Chronicles
Star Wars Chronicles is a new player constructed quest system. The quests will be usalble or sellable by the creator. Item looted from in game MOBs drop to allow different additions to this system. These are called Looted Relics. Details are still being finalized on the new system. Check City of Heroes for thier simular system.
To coincide with the release to the new Star Wars book Death Trooper, SWG will get a new adventure dungeon. The Death Trooper adventure will be invaded with zombies. More details will be released tomarrow.
GCW Panel
The GCW was an interesting panel but few seem to be reporting on that. Much of the GCW concerns are being taken into account. Limited planitary control, Space blockades, ALL profession involvment in further GCW content. Areas that were listed Combat, Morale and Supply were outlined for focus. Even neutral characters will have a indirect involvment such as BH missions paying more for faction struggling for control. Bases are being discussed to shift rewards for protecting a planted base instead of rewarding blowing them.
All these topics were pointed out but still up for discussion. A major part of questions focused on the Battlefields.
