Sajun

And why would they wipe?

There is a scheduled wipe once they hit 14.1 and release the official server, if you didn't already know. There are plenty of reasons for one final wipe, if you play long enough you'll see why. =)

Hey all. My first post to the forums, but an awesome thread to post to!

I've been back playing for about two weeks now and have to say, loving the work the devs have put in. I tried a while back, but there were DeathBlow mobs spawning outside the Starport in Mos Eisley and I just couldn't get started and got frustrated. Glad I've returned to a GREAT work in progress, and knowing the project continues due to awesome Devs here at SWGEMU makes it that much sweeter.

Thanks guys and gals!

I can't get to the selection screen when Basilisk is shut down. Error says server is not online.
And I only have one listing when I open LPE. It says 'All servers except basilisk' no other servers are listed.
What I need is the Nova TC info.

Tusken Rifle is now Energy damage?

Am I missing something... Why is this changing?
I remember it being kinetic damage in live.

I was wondering the same thing. The only reason anyone ever used a crafted tusken was because it dealt kinetic damage with decent AP. Not complaining, just curious.

Congrats on an awesome publish!

I think it was changes in one of the later patches and that it did Energy damage during 14.1.

/agree...definitely remember that WAS the only reason to bother using Tusken rifles...the kinetic damage...perhaps it was changed to energy in time for pub 14 which is the publish that SWG EMU is emulating? That's the only reason I can think of anyway...

There is a scheduled wipe once they hit 14.1 and release the official server, if you didn't already know. There are plenty of reasons for one final wipe, if you play long enough you'll see why. =)

So this is still a while off then I assume?

First, thanks a million to all of the devs and contributors, etc., for all of this!

You are doing a truly remarkable job recreating this great MMO.

Making ends meet just got easier for newbies with working junk dealers.

A couple of questions:

Will there be any way to tell whether a Pistol Accuracy while Standing tape is post-Pub 4 and thus will work?

Is someone on staff willing to help on a general review and updating of the SEAs sticky regarding what works & what doesn't (and what works but is only helpful at sub-Master level, what "works" but isn't helpful, and what is duplicated or supplemented by BE clothing, etc.) in the Trade Forum? I'd be willing to edit / re-write / coordinate if someone can answer some questions for me.

(I'd also be willing to update the existing, very misleading price range suggestions in the sticky if I could invite SEA buyers / sellers to submit information about recent purchases / sales so that accurate current prices would be reflected.)

Pretty much need buffs form imp theme park right? Also it takes a few hours right.

If you mean 'Do you need to be buffed to complete the Imperial Theme Park?' , then the answer imo is: Depends on your profession, template, and skill.

As to your second question: Once again, it all depends (on how many times you've run it before) . My suggestion would be to simply just go start it and see where the fun takes you.

nee2earth
11-05-2013, 01:08 AM

Apparently, during the 14.1 pre-cu SWG era , they were technically Energy damage. Therefore, that's how they are currently on EMU.

Personally, i find such damage for that particular Rifle to be utterly illogical...And i'm hoping someday, for SunCrusher, it will be on the long list of 'exceptions' to the 14.1 complete emulation rule and instead be Kinetic.

So, unless I loot one myself, I have to assume any available to me are very likely non-working. Would it be hard in future when replacing non-working attachments with working ones to add some indicator (text color, font size, all caps, or description altered in some other way) to make it possible to tell?

You forgot to mention that it now takes about 10 times longer to destroy some structures for missions. Specifically the bandit banners (Allakhir?) on Tatooine. I think some of those creatures with 350 life shouldn't have nests and banners with 8k life that only take 50-200 dmg a shot from pistols 4 (using scout) or unarmed 3, takes a very long time to destroy them, about 3 times longer than it does to take care of all the mobs.

It was nowhere near this even in Beta, especially not in release, and it is a newly recent thing. Allakhir banner with 15000 life using a Scout blaster with a speed of 2 (pretty good one) firing away for 80-200 dmg, if you do max damage every time will take about 75 shots (150 seconds, or 2 and 1/2 minutes), even worse if you are raising unarmed 3 to 4 and doing about 120 max to it. Now I know these guys have around 2200 life so their structures have a bit more health, but even the Weequay's Banners have 8000 (for mobs that have 350 life) and take a disproportionate amount of time to destroy. Before this latest patch this was not the case at all. 2-5 minutes to down a banner that wont fight back and has nothing guarding it is a bit lame. I'm just wondering if they buffed structures to keep higher Tiered skills like rocket launcher from 1 or 2 shotting towers without fighting the mobs at higher end missions.

Hmm, a lot of people seem to be a little upset over the change that I suggested/bug reported about Tusken Rifles being Energy Damage.

Rifleman was one of the first professions I chose back in June 2004...I remember shooting the rifle and thought it was SO stupid that a projectile would deal Energy damage...but I lived with it and noticed during CU testing that they FINALLY fixed it to Kinetic. Maybe that's what most are remembering? CU Onward had the Tusken Rifle being Kinetic

Here's a good post: http://forum.galaxiesreborn.com/rifleman/a-rifleman-s-faq-t204.html

The only negative thing I have to say is that combat seems to be buggy. I can go prone, get undercover, aim, and the guy will just stand there for 30 - 40 seconds before falling over backwards. I will not have even heard the shot, he made no yell upon death. And the other thing is the random disconnect from the world. It's not a true disco, but you can eb running through the world and your chat will be going off like mad, then all of a sudden everything stops even though you are still moving through said world. Then when ya disco and reco everything is back to normal!

I'll be in a med centre or cantina for example getting a buff and all of a sudden my /tell commands wont register on screen, or for example I will be listening/watching an entertainer with no buff after 2 mins....no macros or anything like that running.

A disco/reco sorts everything out no worries.

I'm not sure if this is the same issue you are talking about here and I seem to recall something similar happening on the original game but I can't be 100% about that now as it was a long time ago.

My Commando can do a /flameSingle2 against a mob and all that happens is they die and fall over, I get no animation and no weapons sounds, in fact I don't move at all. I'm am guessing its because the damage done is much higher than the mobs HAM and therefore they die instantly but it would be nice to see the animation fire every time it’s a valid hit. It is easy to recreate as I just have to find a low level mob and call /flameSingle2, it does it on the cone command too if all the mobs are lower level than the damage dealt.
