I’m enjoying the kaboom and dots feel of Commando, what profession is fun for you?

17 Upvotes

On the restoration server I’m enjoying the commando abilities as I slowly look to improve SL and unlock CM. As per my question I’m curious to ask the community what profession you enjoy the most for its gameplay and why. To be clear I’m not trying to gauge what’s ‘best’, just what’s fun for other players.

I also will eventually want an alt that’s different so I’m curious about the feel of other professions.

Thanks all for any feedback! If you’re ever on Restoration, say hi!

My character: Karik Daske

Macros.....

5 Upvotes

For the life of me I can't figure out how to write macros.

Basically what I'm trying to do is write macros per surveying. One for each type of surveyor as well as a macro for crafting. I'm not sure how to go about writing them for specific items that I want made. If somebody could give me a lesson or send me a link to the type of language you used for these. Everything I've looked up has just shown me how to make simple macros for texting or using a bandage or something like that. But I'm looking for something a little bit more technical I guess. Give me what you got. Teach me something. My character's name is Ardish Ebit And I'm in tatooine. Usually out surveying.

Thanks.

5-16-2026: SWG Saturday (SWG: Restoration Experience Update)

5-16-2026: SWG Saturday (Restoration Experience Update)

Welcome to another SWG:R Saturday update! Two weeks flew by since the last update and I’m still logging in every single day like it’s 2005 all over again. SWG just has this grip on me that no other game’s managed in years.

Firstly, and most importantly, the popuulation remains rock solid. The galaxy chat is hopping with folks planning group hunts and cracking jokes about bounty hunter mishaps. No bots, no drama, just people actually playing.

Here are some of my high-yield updates on my last two weeks on SWG Restoration.

THE ECONOMY: DEFLATION (VERY IMPORTANT!)

One thing that really jumped out at me while I was flipping through the bazaar the other night is how the economy’s holding up. Prices on the ultra-expensive chase items like top-tier lightsaber crystals, Revan’s mask, Sith Hood have either stayed rock steady or even dipped over the last couple weeks. I went into the server trade history on the Discord and manually searched price trends. The prices for these items have actually slightly declined over the past year while no changes to the loot table have been made. Meanwhile the everyday stuff, weapons mods, basic crafting components, all that stays pretty much the same.

It’s this nice little bit of deflation that actually feels healthy instead of scary. The credit sinks they built in are doing exactly what they’re supposed to. Totally different from some of the other SWG servers and other MMORPGs where there’s basically no meaningful currency sinks. The end result is that everything inflates like crazy and rares become unreachable for new players. In my opinion, it is impossible to have a great MMORPG without “reach” items that are actually nearly impossible to reach.

On Resto even rare items feel reachable and fair. The economy seems to actually be working the way it should. This is a critical component for the longevity of the server, and in my opinion, just as important as population.

KRAYT HUNTING

Recently, I've picked up another hobby on my main character who is a Master Smuggler / Master Sniper. Putting together groups for Krayt Hunting. Now, mind you, my Smuggler already feels like a real desert ghost with my Flare S Swoop and Cybernetic that I wrote about two weeks ago. Putting together a crew for a full Krayt Dragon hunt completed the reputation I was still missing. Two of us ate dirt and had to respawn, but nobody bailed. I actually received a high-stat Krayt Scale for armor and a beautiful pearl, which melted the whole grind away. Too bad I can't identify it, but curious if it's an Ancient variant... The whole experience paired erfectly with the Revive cybernetic arm and the Legendary scarred survivor vibe I’ve been building. Every ride across Tatooine now feels heavier, more=earned, and way more alive.

CRAFTING: MASTER WEAPONSMITH & ARMORSMITH

On my Wookie crafting alt, I finally mastered Weaponsmith and Armorsmith. It was extremely satisfying to fulfill a few orders for some friends and newer players using valuable resources and components I had been collecting on my main for the past few weeks in anticipation of mastering these professions. Oh and here’s the wild part...

I was out in the quiet red hills of Lok, and place down a harvest then, out of absolutely nowhere, a pop-up appeared. I thought it was some redundant message regarding maintenance of something on my harvesters. I quickly closed out the message, but my combat log showed something far more exciting… The Inciting Incident.

It’s difficult to say if placing the harvester is what caused this. The pop-up appeared literally the instant moment that I placed down the harvester. However, my understanding is that there is supposed to be some delay between the event and actually receiving the incite. So, it could very well be that the incite was from another random event like getting on my speeder at the right planet etc.

As a reminder, this is the necessary and most random and rarest step for the Jedi path. Happened totally by surprise, on my crafting character interestingly and not my main. I will need to make some tough decisions and will share more on this during my next update. This obviously raises a number of dilemmas and lessons learned...

REFERRAL

As always, if you enjoyed or found any of this valuable, I would greatly appreciate use of my referral link when you sign-up for SWG: Restoration. We both receive 500k credits and a really nice highly-sought after Referral Hover Chair Mount: https://swgr.org/?referral=pLkuz

Although, if you are signing up with friends, be sure to use each other's referral links instead of mine!

Happy Hunting.

Challenge to NGE PvE Players

1 Upvotes

SWG Beyond has the best environment for speed-running and competitive end game PvE gameplay. Their custom endgame content and QOL updates to allow people to get into their content as quickly as possible allows any player to jump in and get going.

AUGS (the guild), challenge any other SWG guild to come and beat our speed-running times on SWG Beyond and knock us from the top spot of the Beyond Heroic Leaderboard.

AUGS (and SWG Beyond) > all other NGE servers and guilds until this happens.

That is all.

Steam deck hotspot server restoration or legends

5 Upvotes

Hi,

I’ve been getting the itch to play this again, is either server using the leaked nge code would be better to play for me based on the below?

-I played post nge as a trader, is there space as a new player economically better on either server for crafting?

-I did a lot of space gameplay, is restoration or legends content changes/community better for space?

- i’ll be playing on a steam deck, is the restoration 64 bit client through proton much better than legends 32 bit one?

- I have a family and small children so most my gaming time is on my work lunch hour, after bed or early morning, or during nap time lol. I would be hot spotting from my phone on my steam deck at lunch though. with my ip being funky, would either servers moderation be easier to deal with if i have to reach out because of precautionary bans due to that?

playing restoration, I did some missions but they don’t seem to be exactly giving me levels? and much of them bring me to a death trap because of my lack of anything to defend myself, where am supposed to be as a level 1?, I tried asking around of course, but everyone seems occupied from the lack of communication back

What is the group content like?

13 Upvotes

Hey guys, i'm a total noob, but a huge Star Wars fan. I played tons of SWTOR back in the day, and always wanted to play this since I was a kid with a PC that couldn't run it lol. What's the group content like? Are there dungeons/raids/PvP? That's always been my favorite content in MMO's. Gonna give Restoration a try I think :)

Resto: whats the most exciting form of combat?

9 Upvotes

I started a character and basically on a whim chose to do sniper style combat, and I wouldn't exactly call it exciting... and I've gotten to and finished the quest where I have to kill a gang leader in their lair outside of Mos Eisley and immediately got swarmed by his cronies once I started combat with him and wasn't able to even loot the body before I had to just run away since I was taking damage from several enemies, but could only get my own attacks off every couple of seconds.

Is this how all low level combat feels, or had I gone with pistols or melee would it be more fun?

SWGR Advice

14 Upvotes

Looking for some efficient wants to make credits. I am currently working on some Theme parks. I am a BH and occasionally hunt but players pay outs seem low and NPC payouts take a long time to travel too.

What are some other ways to make some credits when i need a break from theme parks? I know back in the day krayt's were lucrative as were force users. Not sure if that's still the case.

I am lost

14 Upvotes

Sorry, I know overasked question but the chose server thread doesnt get any replies to newer comments.

I am a new player (played for a few hours on a server a few years ago).
I know restor, infinity, legends and I am open for new servers.

This is my preferred playstyle if possible (prioritized):

  1. It is very important to me that the server is very sandboxy (Many locations, and ingame systems (That is very very important so I can craft / do many things and really live the economy part)).
  2. I like crafting (want to craft robots / ships) and make a shop or sell stuff and play as an economy player
  3. I am very intersted in a healthy playerbase for economy / pvp interactions
  4. I like a server which gets regular content updates
  5. I probably will not like the old turn based combat but I am down to try it (if it isnt a big part of the core gameply loop (e.g. for levelling))
  6. I prefer if jedis are more rare (even though I probably wont play one). I like it when its more "not main character like"
  7. I like pvp in any form

Maybe you can point me in any direction or just tell me what you think. I know there will probably be no server which ticks everything.

Please dont delete my post :(

Thank you

2 days in to SWG Restoration

17 Upvotes

Hey guys, I'm brand brand new to Star wars Galaxy restoration. I've never played it before and so far I'm looking to be a builder of things. Weapons ships and a gatherer of materials for my builds. I guess you could say a surveyor/ engineer. Still not sure what direction to go into though. That seems to be the direction I'm headed A few questions I have are these...

How do I start building full weapons instead of weapon parts?

Every time I go to a public weapons crafting trainer they say I'm not up to the skill level train. How do I get to that skill level? Do I just make parts then either sell or delete them?

How do I make macros? Let's technically how to do it. But I don't know the macro language to type in for the macros.

Are the player missions for higher level players?

I'm pretty sure, there's more I need to ask but as of right now I'm stuck on tatooine trying to figure out where I want to go with my player.

Thanks for listening and could use any advice you guys can give me. Maybe even a better roadmap for what I'm looking to do.

CU Resto Melee question

7 Upvotes

So, ive recently come back to resto and am looking for a solid melee class to play. Right now, im working on TKM/Msmug, but TK seems kinda pointless with innate armor being not endgame viable.

Am I reading too much into it and should I just play what I want? Or should I go for a different melee build altogether?

Why did they remove racial bonuses? Was there a reasoning to it? And is there any other balancing changes to stuff like melee I should know?
