I could have sworn you did some work on the Cries of Alderan Act3. Did it not make the cut?

What's up for next pub? JTL???

The ground game is basically done now right?

There was some prep work for CoA3. Its one of the final ground game things to implement.

[Mobyus1]

The ground game is basically done now right?

Only major ground content missing, I believe, is the Imperial Crackdown, where faction NPCs would stop and perform random searches on players as they passed by in cities. From what I understand, implementing this requires a pretty substantial rewrite of the AI code. There are most likely a ton of small tweaks/changes that still need to be done to things like abilities or items as well.

...but yeah, I think we're getting pretty darn close to JTL! Close as in, several years still.

[Poobacca]

Ya, I forgot about the Imperial Crackdown. It was mentioned before.

Some people want their MTV. I just want my JTL...

(and perhaps some live events with accolade badges )

They refactored Act 1and 2 and set it up for a easier Act 3 implementation. Act 3 is not yet in unstable.

As stated above, looks like Cries of Alderaan Act 3 still absent....pity

[Poobacca]

I do not see the search feature in the Bazar. I exited the launched and relaunched it, and checked for updates. Is there something I missed or should I report a bug?

Give them some time, I'm sure it will be updated on the launch pad before Basilisk is up.

Hello,

on Mantis 0006748 there is several evidence from live that force choke from powers completly ignores PSG's , on the initial damage and on the ticks. Also there is several evidence that damage done by choke to a TKM/BH using a PSG is around 150-300 standing and up to
600 per tick while KD'ed. Screenshots there also show an equipped PSG and in the combat log its ignored , there is no reduction at all.
All was fine on Prime until it was taken down 2 hours before bas was taken down. After Prime was up again force choke suffered not only full psg reduction on the inital hit but also on all ticks making it pretty much useless in pvp vs a psg. We now talk ticks of 50 damage against a standing
target / 5 pulses makes 250 damage while the attack costs 400 force . So the force costs is now higher then the damage dealt.
In all the evidence to force choke in mantis there is not a single screenshot showing as low ticks as are now the norm.
Then there is Mantis 0008036 which just states that the ticks are not reduced by resitances, but no evidence at all is there that says its should. But a patch is pushed trough really fast.
This last minute patch made force choke pretty much useless in pvp now while it was the way to go on live vs PSG users.
Now force choke is the only dot in the game that suffers full reduction from psg's/armor.
Also choke along with other force attacks was affected by force shield while normal saber strikes and attacks from casual weapons were not , so why should a PSG block any of these ?

Please dont get me wrong, i really appreciate all the hard work you put into this and i would like to thank you for it .

Guess it’s about time to unbox my desktop and get it going again so I can play. It still amazes me the dedication that so many people have put into this project. You guys and gals all rock!

Accolades and thanks to everyone on Staff for you dedication and work, whether you've been involved a year or since the days I was around before moving overseas.

So much has happened in our lives (I've moved Continents twice!!) and yet you've stayed committed to the dream and the mission.

To see 99.9% or whatever it is of the ground game finished makes me so grateful to all of you.

My only regret is that Xavia (Tanya) isn't here to see what's been accomplished.
