SWG / SOE and what they’re doing now…..

So most of you probably know about all of the trouble Sony has had with the PSN and SOE system. It was hacked.

As part of their “Make Good” program, every active SWG account is receiving a Boba Fett Slave ITM miniature ship model. They are also running the Bonus Everything Weekend from now until the Tuesday after Memorial Day!

I also checked the TCG and found that i had 3 free booster packs and 1 choose any loot card pack. I of course chose the Ionized Tibanna Gas Display. It looks like a lot of people did.

Thats the hard one to get!! NOW ITS FREE!!

SWG Galactic Civil War 2 – Space Update

We all know that space has needed some help in SWG for a while. It’s still reayyl awesome but it needs more. It looks like they’re working on it, and it looks good.

In addition to new GCW scenarios in space, they are also introducing the ACE Pilot System where you can battle against some of the best pilots from classic Star Wars™ lore. How would you fare against Wedge Antilles or other famous Star Wars characters? Find out in the GCW2 Space Update coming soon to a galaxy near you! I cant wait!!

Being able to fly against Wedge or maybe even Anakin, what a hoot that would be. He was supposed to be one of the best!! I’m interested to see these new scenarios they have lined up for us and there better be more than 1 for each faction.

My SWG Pets and their Use

Mark the SWG Guru here, this time around I’m going to talk about the pets I use in SWG and what I use them for. First off let me just say the SWG has made it easier for you to level your pet to level 90, its nice and you wont need to use the XP bonus stims anymore.

The pet i use the most is my Nexu hes a 60 point pet and because i have full Beast Master skills he does some wicked DPS. That goes for all of my pets except for my Kliknik. My Nexu has a Damage of 1030-1583 with a base DPS of 871. He has all 4 abilities, as do all of my pets, Bite 4, Claw 5, Provoke 5, and Slash 5. the provoke comes in handy for running instances. here is a pic of my Nexu.

Nexu - Most Used

This one is my Rancor. Hes my goto pet for PvP. He’s also a 60point pet but i need to get a better Shaken ability for him. Here are his stats. Damage 1005-1545 with a base DPS of 850. he has Charge 5, Dampen Pain 4, Shaken 1, and Stomp 5. It’s the Stomp and Charge that make him so helpful in PvP. Stomp is an AoE attack and Charge will root the target, good for catching a Jedi on the run. here’s a pic of my Rancor.

Rancor - PVP Pet

This next pet is a 60 pointer too but I don’t use her that often, mostly for show. The coveted Kimogila. She doesn’t have all 4 of her abilities yet because I have yet to learn them myself. Her Damage is 1038-1596 and base DPS of 878 but her abilities are only Bite 4, Disease 2, and Provoke 5. If I had all level 5 abilities for her I think she’d be my goto pet for PvP. here is a pic of my Kimogila. imagine if I had all lvl 5 abilities, I’d love it.

Kimogila

Here is a pet that I have just because he reminds me of a little green Jedi that we all know, Yoda. Hes a finicky little guy and isin’t always happy. Hes a 55 point Woolamander and hes green too, and I named him something close to Yoda. He serves his purpose well and I can use him for just about anything but hes usually used when I’m fighting ranged opponents. His stats are as follows, Damage 912-1402 base DPS 771. His abilities are Bite 4, Disease 2, Defensive 4, and Provoke 5. As you can see the Provoke is in there again. It really helps keep aggro off of you.

Woolamander - Tank

This one is my first level 90 pet, hes only a 37 point pet but he packs a whallop. Hes a Kliknik. I can use this pet for PvP or PvE it doesn’t matter he gets the job done. For only being a 37 pointer hes really tough his Damage is 953-1467 and base DPS is 806 and he has Slash 5, Claw 5, Dampen Pain 4, and Damage Poison 4. All of the stats I have here for my pets in SWG were taken while they were Ecstatic. It really helps to keep them happy.

Kliknik

I hope this gives some of you a reason to level up a pet in SWG or try the BM profession. I don’t make the pets I just use them to KILL!!!!

SWG TCG City Invasion (Update)

With SWG’s latest patch on 8-19-10 (today) SWG has changed how the city invasions will work. Now instead of having 3 invasions all at once on 3 different planets, there will be 1 invasion every hour. The first will be in Bestine on Tatooine.

The second will be in Keren on Naboo.

And the 3rd will be in Dearic on Talus, then back to Bestine.

Now I don’t know about you but some of the people that i know really like these invasions and now with them being every hour , i think maybe there are going to blow a gasket trying to keep up with all of their GCW. all in all I think its a great idea and i cant wait to get home to do a little PvP’n.

Until next time, SWG-Guru, OUT!!

SWG Pets

Hello everyone time for some more SWG info. i have been playing around with the new pets in game, the Reek and the Nexu. i don’t have any Vorpal Durni DNA yet. The Nexu has to be my favorite its a cat so it has all of the specials that a feline can use. so far with my Commando/BM setup its been really good in PvP. Tons of DPS. I find myself going back to my Rancor though when im in a big battle because the area snare the Rancor can do will keep the Imperials from moving to fast and helps them stay together so my AoE’s can hit them all. I suggest to all of you out there that play SWG to try the BM line in your profession. its a BLAST!!!

SWG GCW Update

The new GCW update is getting closer, here are some screenshots of what we can expect to see in game.

It looks great but why did they use AT-XT’s from the Clone Wars? There will be fighting in the cities again and there is supposed to be work for the Entertainers and the Crafters of the galaxy. There will be 3 cities to defend from attack. More to come as I find out more.
