So we'll be able to tame pets and they will grow but it will be impossible to get CH skills because we can't get XP due to pets being unable to attack, right?

Or am i missing something?

(e.g JTL exp or Jedi quest lines etc?) i understand that the game will have to first be brought to a point where all proffs are functioning properly to move next but it would be nice to know where we stand :)
Again well done on a fantastic work!!!!

Great Job all! I can only imagine how hard you've all worked to get this list of fixes and implements done! Thanks for that.

I truly do not mean to sound ungrateful by asking the following, so please do not take it as any sort of disappointment on my part. I was wondering if the bug for being able to log back on to Nova has been fixed yet? Currently anyone who had been away for a long period of time, then tries to log on via the Launchpad ENHANCED will be locked out of the TC Nova server. Even if they have re-installed the games current Launchpad they cannot get to play on Nova. I have tried to get around this bug by creating a new character on Nova, however the next log in I am faced with no avatars. So was wondering if there is any update or news as to whether or not this is being looked at?

Lastly, for about 6+ (2008ish) years involved with the EMU project as a player/tester, all I'd ever heard from other players is how much they cannot wait for Bio-Engineer to be working again. They would convey the same nostalgic lament of missing the profession profusely as I, myself has held. So if I am honest, I do feel a tinge of saddness and neglect that BE has again been sorely overlooked when it comes to animal stats and functions. Can anyone tell us an approximate timeline of when the stats of a DNA sample can be crafted into a workable statted pet please? I'm sure I'm not the only BE fan who has been patiently waiting and waiting and waiting for this profession to see some remarkable TLC. I understand it may be difficult to program or code, so I'll just keep on keeping on, but it would be very kind of you guys to give us some sort of heads up as to what is going on in terms of this professions future so we feel less like hostages of the profession. /youarereleased (from Dinner with Shmucks).

Thanks for all you've done and please know how much of a great feat you have accomplished in my eyes and in the eyes of all of us who loved this game and are experiencing history in the making! If I can speak for others, our giddy applause and worn hats are tipped to all of you involved in re-creating this game voluntarily! :D KUDOS to you and to this community of die-hards!

A factory crate isn't a container. so no it should count as 1.

Such a bug doesn't exist, this is something that is happening on your (client) side. Has nothing to do with the server.

There are no ETA's as for the timeline... If its not in this publish it might be in the next one, if not in the next one in the one after that etc. Read patch notes, read our next publish checklist and you'll find your answers if there are any to be found.

Such a bug doesn't exist, this is something that is happening on your (client) side. Has nothing to do with the server.
I read a thread/post about it. It basically said, that "...If you tried logging onto the game using LPE before using the New Launcher, you won't be able to log onto TC. It will be looked into." and I have not been able to find the post ever since which is why I decided to ask here. I could've sworn it was posted by you, Vlada. I found the post originally due to not being able to log onto the TC and when I read it, I then proceeded in finding out how to re-install the game's NEW launcher. So this bug did exist or was posted as being a bug at one time about a month ago. Thanks. I only want to contribute in some small way and since I cannot do anything more technical than reporting bugs, I figured I'd try yet again to get this figured out, hopefully with someone's help.

Ellyssia has sent me a reply to this in my inbox so I'll continue to try to fix this, client side or not. I have no idea how to do anything when it comes to going into files in my computer and changing things. I am very uneducated when it comes to computers. I know how to turn it on and off, log onto games I enjoy, and check my email. :D So sorry you don't recall the post which I have since not been able to find using search. I really do hope I can help out sometime using TC Nova. If not, no biggy I guess. Just another thing I'm exluded from in life due to my own ineptness. :P

Sweetpea when you launch the game and get to the character select screen do you see TC nova characters or just your Basilisk characters?

Based on your previous post about this it seems that the last time you played on TC Nova was prior to November 2013, if that is the case all those characters were wiped and you will have to create new characters.

If you installed using our new launcher and you are able to play on Bas, just try creating a new character, it will give you the option to select a server, TC: Nova or Basilisk.

So great. Thank you!




Weapons without a powerup will no longer artificially cap their speed at 1.0


Does this mean we can attack more than once a second? I thought the 1.0 actual weapon speed was fundamental to how the speed formula works.

Attack speed still caps at 1.0. Weapon speed does not. Since weapons speed, skill mods, and special attack speed modifier all are accounted for when determining attack speed, having weapon speed below 1.0 can sometimes be beneficial.

When I first logged on all toons were gone. I had to create new ones. Using the new launchpad (which btw i LOVE) I have my newly (month old) created characters but none of the ones I had prior to Nov 2013. Also, I tried creating a toon for TC Nova as my original ones were gone also, and created one, but then I still could not log into the TC Nova server, and when I came back the next day to try again, the newly created TC Nova toon was gone. Guys, I'm soooo very sorry I clicked on LPE before checking out the forums or news. I just had no idea the launchpad enhanced would have been an issue. :P I hate being a burden too and it looks like I've hijacked this thread had have become just that. PLease know how very sorry I am for that! I'll work this out with Ellyssia via forum-mail. :) Thanks guys, I'm so sorry!

Adjusted loot and loot chances on all Dathomir NPCs


After about an hour of killing nightsisters at the stronghold, about 85% of them just dropped credits and the other 15% dropped junk weapons, clothing without any modifiers, and one shard. The elder just dropped 2716 credits. Is this drastic reduction of drops as intended or is this something that needs to be fixed?

As far as i'm aware, all behavorial 'features' like that will either fall under the *creature AI* umbrella (so maybe Publish 6) or be added during BETA-testing phase.

I miss them too. It's the little things/details that make something go from good to great, great to superb, etc.

It makes sense for certain things to not work, such as damage tapes. That's the reason they're doing it the same on here. Now the original issue is that SOE should have just removed them from the loot tables, and they didn't, so I think at some point the team will actually remove them. As for survey tapes, I've not heard anything about them no longer working and I can't imagine why they wouldn't. Must be a bug.


Was curious to why the skill tapes for Medicine Use / Combat Medicine Use and Combat Medicine Effectiveness was hit with the nerf bat ?

The reason for this should be obvious. It makes no sense for someone to take the first box of medic and then be able to stack enough med use on their gear to use Stim D or E. If you want more healing potential you should have to go higher into Medic. When you can't spare the points you're more inclined to have a Medic or Doctor buddy tag along with you. It's just an effort to make this game more group oriented, which it isn't right now. I feel like you should have to have a buddy or two to go Krayt/NS hunting, or into Geo cave. Being able to solo what little high end content there is sort of defeats the purpose and focus of the game, which is to be community driven. But alas, it is a test server, and I'm patient for 14.1 and the future. Can't wait for more group oriented content. =)

I realize this may sound stupid and the answers may be hidden in the other threads. However, is there an updated time frame. The SWGEmu Timeline post on the forum is quite old and obviously there may be more information out now.

Any guesstimate when SunCrusher may be brought live. Or to rephrase the question, how far along do you guys feel the development is?

Also, what is in development for publish 6? Do we have a guesstimate as to when it will hit?

As you can tell, I just found you guys within the last month joined up and am playing daily. Cheers. Love what you have done.
