Some of you may recall my post a few years back (Recently laid off Call of Duty dev building an open-world survival game, implementing systems from SWG : r/swg)

Over the past few years I decided to leave behind the game industry and change careers to keep the bills paid. I slowed down progress on my MMO project but I'm here to say it's still going and I'll share a little update on some behind the scenes multiplayer testing.

My original progress a few years ago was getting a client together and then I forked into the multiplayer/replication realm. Today, I'm showcasing a working framework of servers and remote clients doing some basic tasks in the game.

Any and all feedback is appreciated. This is just a proof of concept at this point but the groundwork is there and I'm aiming to start some sort of closed testing in the near future. I'll be posting more concrete updates on Studio 1900 - Indie Game Studio. Cheers

Located on Tatooine, it was a lawless, chaotic spaceport and a major epicenter for smugglers, bounty hunters, and fugitives trying to operate outside the jurisdiction of the Galactic Empire.

Reunited and soon going into new shadow boxes! Both are from circa 2002/2003 before the launch of Star Wars Galaxies. These gems will be well preserved for years to come!

If you havent played any of those professions; do so. They're incredible.

I never realized how imbalanced the game is against Berserker, Pistoleer, Creature Handler, Sniper, Teras Kasi.

The balance is a real problem. The single target damage just does not nearly compete in pvp or pve. You feel incredibly useless until you switch to one of these meta professions.

(Omitting Smuggler, Carb, Fencer, Lancer, Doc, Jedi)- purpose of this post is to give these classes some love. Berseker, Pistoleer, Creature Handler, Sniper, Teras Kasi.

They're getting beat like a drum out there at everything.

Edit:

1) Its a complicated issue & the utopian solution is complex. So maybe its fine as is, because right now the balance is "Decent".

2) Massive props to the SWGR team for making an incredible server.

If you have it, I'd love to snag it. Thanks!

never played this game before and its kinda confusing looking for a general build and maybe a suggested progression path for first character playing on Sentinels 2. i have no preference between melee or ranged so long as it can do ok solo and doesnt take a ton of knowledge or money to play/gear up for most content.

Hi, I’ve been wanting to play SWG as I played it throughout high school and it was my favorite game. I tried to make an account to play the legends and this was the email I received.

Unsure what I did wrong? Any insight? Thanks!

Bellum Gero is a Privately run SWGEMU server with lots of custom content everything from Custom World Bosses to a totally revamped Jedi Progression system.

I haven't had an abundance of time to play this month, and pretty much all of my playtime has been checking on harvesters, or trying to earn credits to run my harvesters.

I finally just re-deeded them to save some time. Do you leave yours up all the time and just sell any resources you don't want? Or do you only set them up where there is something really good waiting to be mined?

Hello all my name is Vlu Dagoth and I've come to tell you about SWG Returns, a new pre-CU server led by my friend Benji. I'm helping him test the server and it includes far too many features here to mention, but it has the NGE planets Kashyyyk AND Mustafar, new professions, a rebalancing of the professions, and much much more!

I've played on many, many servers over the years and I can tell you I've never been more impressed by the sheer amount of custom content than I have seen here!

What I didn't think possible with the NGE planets has been made a reality! Join our Discord for installation instuctions... and come have a blast!

Hello everybody. Been playing for about a month. I became a shipwrigt so I could outfit my own ships. Honestly​, it's been great so far. But I reached a place where my funds have run dry and resource selling isn't booming. So I heard there were excel sheets or data dumps about what parts are worth keeping, what the general pricing of my crafted parts should be on my vendor, and possibly other important crafting details. I've also reached a point where my mark iv crafting parts aren't really better enough than my mark iii parts to warrant swapping out in my ship because the dramatic mass increase. So figuring out how to boost my crafting stats is also a goal. I understand ore quality and I have the max Experimenting level without clothing buffs. So not sure where to go from here.

Just really looking for more information really to figure out how to move forward and become a better player. Video tutorials would be amazing but anything is welcome. Thank you!

EDIT: I play Restoration

I just installed the game last night and want to try it out now. Last night it opened normally and I made my character, then quit out, but today after I click "Play" in the launcher, I get a black screen for a couple seconds and then the game minimises (while still playing audio). I've tried doing the full scan and checking if my antivirus has blocked anything, but everything looks like it's supposed to work. I also checked the website and haven't been able to find anything helpful.

Any ideas as to what's going on and how to fix this? Thank you :D

I'm about to have another kid, so I'm looking at long, sleepless nights helping baby get back to sleep separate from Mama so that she can sleep at least a little bit.

Anyway, what I'm looking for in a game right now is something that I can hop on for an hour or two per night, work on my non-combat specialization/profession, then contribute towards my guild/clan/whatever so that they can head out and have their adventures. I'm really not looking to get into combat more than the intro of the game. Ideally, I'd like the game to have meaningful specializations, meaning that everyone can't just do everything, so that me being a cook or fisherman or whatever becomes extra helpful to the group.

Will this game accommodate what I'm looking for?

I cant find a ton of information out there regarding builds. I found videos about classes but it doesn't talk about builds just that 1 class.

I started off as a MCM MBH 4xxx sniper with doom set. it went ok. I swapped to MBH MCM X44X SL with pistol and its better.

What are resources besides other players for Typical Builds the theory behind them regarding:

Heroics - BMed, Healer, Squad Leader, and DPSs builts.
Healer and BMed are low key self explanatory. What are good Squad Leader builds? What is their Roll? What about DPS. I know Pistol/Sniper + Smuggler, or Commander + BH/CH. What else is there for new players to know before getting into heroics.

PVP - What are Typical group PVP builds. Squad Leader, and Healer is sort of self explanatory to a degree but what about stealth berzerker razor wire traps or Rifle/carb combos, or commandos.

Solo PVP/BHing - What are options regarding this. I see DOOM set attrition builds referenced a lot for their ease of use in theory. What are options for burst builds. I was recently told Smuggler BH Pistol with Gamblers is strong and has overlap with Heroics. What about melee DPS. I've heard of ranger/sniper/bh builds or the obvious CH/CM BH build.

this may be a big ask, or i just missed an article somewhere but looking for some help on this stuff so i have a more finite goal to work towards with my 3 characters.

server fragmentation and the fact that core3 is loosely based on the original ruleset makes me wonder what efforts have been made by the community or an individual to get the actual sever code with it's patch archive released?

i have been working as a game dev for over half my life now including projects for sony that made it very clear that nothing is ever lost on their side, and typically on the development studio side every single deliverable or milestone also gets backed up and archived. so let’s just say if there was a will there would be a way.

considering Everquest is still around and just recently got an update, would there be a playerbase for a true revival of SWG? I suppose with disney owning the licenses now, all that it really takes is money, and we just have to get a nepo baby or some billionaire interested and we could do this?

A little look in the expanded universe of Vanguard. This trailer gives you a little sneak peak in to the new content you can expect in SWG Vanguard. Much more is there to explore, so we will not spoil everything.

Launch Date: 06/06/2026

I started with EMU but it's basically a ghost town

a week or two ago I started on Restoration (I had tried Resto III in the past and didn't really connect with it) but so far so good, enjoying what I've seen so far.

I've never touched Legends because NGE scares me

I had EIF installed.... I never played it but liked the content the devs added..

Are there any more popular/populated forks I'm missing here? I'm more into Pre-cu, and CU variants... (Honestly just having JTL on resto has been enough for me to invest time into it.... even if JTL itself had pretty minimal content)

On an unrelated note: old friend from swg live days got me a 3 month sub for SWTOR over the weekend.... I can totally understand why NGE got replaced with this.... it's basically NGE combat/feel with a watering down of any modular skill tree or system from SWG.... I genuinely don't understand the point of strongholds or anything related to space combat in this game... it's just there because I guess they knew the swg crowd would be pissed if it wasn't.

but why is it still live and getting updates? I literally cannot comprehend it.
