Galaxies: General Chat, Discussion, Information plus Q&A's

Languages...

I haven't been around long enough but apparently before the NGE hit you couldn't stand next to a wookie and know what they were saying with out learning the wook language from an NPC or someone else.

Basically it is like in real life. If you only speak english when a different language is spoken all you here is gibberish... same thing here. When a Wookie spoke all you heard / read were roars. However, if you take the time to learn the language (like in real life) you could understand them. Not only could you understand them, you could speak to them in that language. There were several languages (wook, aqualish, etc etc you get the point).

 

Thanks. Man, that sucks. I would like to have a Kaadu with a name. Or the thing that Obi-Wan rode in RotS. But I would need Rage of the Wookies for that and I haven't seen the Galaxies three-set (or whatever it was called) in a while.

 

Well if you want a named Kaadu, try your Server Trade Forums.. there might be a kaadu for sale there. But it will have whatever name it had before they got rid of pets in the game. And be ready to pay a hefty amount of money to get pets with commands and such.

As for the Game three-in-one thing. If you wait until November of this year, there should be a new release of SWGalxies with ALL expansions (everything including Mustafar and Kassh). Plus, you get a free gift: an ATRT i think it is...

 

An AT-RT you say? Not sure what use that might serve other than fighting since they aren't all that fast. But that sounds good. I'm currently looking for a PC that'll be able to run that along with EaW and any other game I might want. I still want to get a BARC speeder bike, though.

 

And most people are playing WoW because it's a far better online experience than SWG?

lolocaust.

Before the NGE each race could speak Basic(English) as well as their native tongue. Twi'leks could also communicate with their head tails. Each race could teach other races how to speak their language, for free and with no time commitment. So effectivley languages were just another interesting feature that was gutted in the interests of maintaining the "casual gamer". Everybody simply learned all the languages from the very start of the game, making them useless. The exception being Twi'Lek head tail language which could not be tought to other races. If a Twi'Lek spoke in this way you would see "so and so makes weird movements with their head tails."


I never actually learned the languages, which never posed a problem, except for Wookies. Which were uncapable of speaking Basic. It was actually alot of fun to enounter wookie players in the game because I actually saw their Rwwwaarrrrr Rrww Grrrr, rather then what they were actually saying in english.

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not.


But yes.

 

No, I was being semi-serious. WoW is a better online experience than SWG, and I know a half-dozen people personally who left SWG for WoW.

WoW > SWG, is what I'm saying.

a lot of people will just play SWG cuz WoW is not Star Wars, which is good. They definately need to get more subscribers, or consoidate their servers so that more people are actually online intereacting with each other. A lot of the time its lke a ghost town on those serversand that takes a lot of the fun out of it.

Another question: How far will this game progress in the Star Wars timeline?

 

the game will need to stay in some kind of quantum time status holding thingamajig

 

I'm not playing SWG because it's got a shocking reputation as a game and because WoW doesn't.

Sure, it's not Star Wars, but it's fun. And the Devs don't have their wicked, wicked way with me as a subscriber.

I looked through all my old screenshots of the game again, all pre-NGE and God, I miss it. I don't know why I read this thread again or why I even bother posting, but I need to tell someone. Even doing nothing was fun in that game sometimes! And it looked soooo good.

I miss my Creature Handler. I was never really alone.

 

I won't beat around the bush for this one.... I'll just come out and say it.....

SMUGGLERS

CAN

NOW

SMUGGLE!











On Test Center, anyways. Hey, we're one step closer! :0)

 

Yes finally SMugglers can smuggle after what? 3 YEARS?!?!? But I like the addition of having smuggler hunted by us Bounty Hunters... Would be cool to go after someone else instead of Jedi coz they make me sick...

I like the way some kids play Jedi, they arent like the Elder Jedi's I have hunted down PRE-CU. If they beat me they think they are gods and the alpha profession... but when I kill them they cry I exploited in some way... hehe.. They should realized that Pre-Cu Jedi WERE THE ALPHA PROFESSION back then, and if I could beat them back then; post NGE Jedi are easy as cake...

 

Lol, I hafta try that. My first profession is either gonna be Smuggler, Bounty Hunter, or Commando. I plan on being a Stormie (if I can).

 

Ulic, can you tell me where you got the info on that new full pack thing?

 

Here, under one of the headers it says Coming Soon November 2006

Click on that link for info...

 

Oh, yeah. I checked earlier but couldn't find it.

 

They should add something better than an AT-RT. I was thinking they could add an airspeeder of some sort. Maybe even a Republic Gunship. Or a Virago, or an N-1, or some kind of Rebel and Imperial ships that still aren't in the game. Heck, why not some new species? I'd like to see Shistaveans and Togrutas.

 

To be brutally honest... adding in new stuff right now is not a high priority. The game is on a fundamental "healing" path to get back to being a good game. They are adding expertise / profession specific things (and doing a good job with it)but until they are finalized with that it would make no sense to add anything else new in. Doing so would just drag out the process. Once all 9 professions get expertise and the GCW expertise is added in, they do a balance pass, they do a bug pass/fix for several pubs.. lookout... from then on the possibilities for new stuff is endless.

 

The expertise is just a shadow of the templates that was used 3 years ago. I still love the old system with the multitude of profession templates and possibilities. But I do prefer this over the post CU era. At least we get the same professions with a tad bit of difference in terms of fighting.

I hope they dont forget about the non-combat professions as well as the neutral players who dont seem to get any content the last few publishes...

 

I played for about a year and advanced rather quickly through the system before the NGE. I can say that I was of the overwhelming majority who was not happy with the NGE and cancelled my subscription along with my entire guild. Right now, I'm keeping sharp on my MMORPG skills with WoW, but it is getting old, unlike SWG. Politics chased me out of SWG, not repitition. Is this game any better now, since the launch of the NGE? What major features and fixes have been added since the unrolling of the NGE and ToOW? Any new planets since Mustafar? Please re educate me so I don't waste money finding out for myself. Thanks to all who post.

 

Gday people.
I don't actually have the game as of now, due to being in year 11, but I will most definitely have it the year after next, if not next year- also, by then, things will be better and the game will improve (for instance I believe smugglers can actually smuggle thanks to september 2006).
Anyway, I was wondering how many credits you'd have to be considered rich?
I have had experience at games such as Diablo II, where money is basically worthless and it's all about items- if this is the case, tell me so, but do credits have at least some value in this game?

Thanks,
Dan

 

I recently came back due to a 3 week offer from sony, it seems ok. I've only so far done space patrols and some creature missions on tatooine. I'm wondering if I'm now level 55, whats the best way to level up quickly while I am a jedi?

 

short of grinding, Im not sure what the best way is... for jedi, at least. What is this of a three week offer?

 

There isn't any content between levels 55-70. Good luck. Once you hit 70, there's Kashyyyk, and once you hit 80 there's Mustafar.
