a few questions about the game

[NecridLycan]

hello now i've played SWG for about 5 months so i'm still kind of a newb so i was wondering 3 things about the game

 

number 1 ok whats the deal with expertise i understand general but whats up with this path bull crap i mean if i put my points on the dark path do i get the title dark jedi or sith or something or does it just give bonuses?

 

number 2 ok whats the deal with darth vader i know you get to meet him at kashyyk or whatever and the emperors retreat on naboo but do you ever get to fight him or go on the death star and meet him? or even get to see the death star?

 

number 3 is SWG ever gonna come out with an expansion like hoth or something? i've heard that the game takes place after A New Hope but is before Empire Strikes Back which is fine i like that but they should really think about intorducing hoth any way because even without the battle it would still be a nice addition to the game

Hi there and welcome to the forums.

 

Having played for 5 months, you probably may/not be aware of the big changes that hit the game almost two years ago.

 

Since then, the development team have focused on fixing bugs in the game, which have been left thanks to the creation of far too many rushed expansions - Kashyyk being the biggest hole!

 

Expertise was brought in to replace the old skill trees, which could make each character unique. So, for example, a Bounty Hunter could also have Master Rifleman, some skills from the Pistoleer tree, Medic tree for healing etc - making Galaxies THE most unique experience out of ALL the MMOs out there.

 

With the changes, came the community back lash. EVERY single profession was the same, so after years of hard work and grinding, those skills you had were all removed. So each Bounty Hunter was identical in every single way. The expertise tree now helps people select different skill sets, you could have better and stronger attacks with a weaker defence, or strike a balance between both.

 

The Death Star has been destroyed - so you cant go there, but you can do quests to enter the Blockade runner. You can't fight Darth Vader.

 

As for expansion to Hoth - there are rumours around about the time line moving forward - look out for our exclusive Q&A at the end of this month - but professions need tweaking and other bugs need fixing. If you get the chance, Mustafar is probably the best zone out there to visit and grind. Some nice loot as well.

 

I hope this answers some of your questions

Yeah i wish they would give some of the really city like planet like in EP2

[Rogue15]

nah not hoth, well except the space portion.

 

a city planet like Nar Shaddaa would be very cool, if not that, Cloud City would be awesome.

[Master Zionosis]

Nar Shaddaa would be cool, maybe Onderon, though I'm not sure of the status of it during that time period, this is just my KotOR side shining though, lol, talking of KotOR Taris could also be a possibility, as it's been around 4,000 years since Malak destroyed it, so.. you never know could of been re-built.

i dont see the hype in all city planets, there would be no wildlife to hunt just people to kill, would get boring! Hoth would be boring, Han says in ESB there isnt enough life here to something something.

And Tauntauns and wampas being the only life, hurrah boring!

[Darth Tenebrous]

I like the idea of Nar Shadda or Taris being included. They would be great planets for a smuggler/bounty hunter character.
