SWTOR Character Transfers Start June 12
Straight from Bioware on the official forums, the character transfer service will start on June 12.
In summary, it is going to be a staged process and only certain servers will be eligible for the transfer right away. For more information on how this will work and the potential impact on your legacy, hit the link for the official post.
SWTOR Tip of the Day: How to Get the Ice Scrabbler Jerky Schematic
Update 1.2 included a new schematic for Biochemists: the ice scrabbler jerky schematic. It turns out ice scrabbler jerky is necessary in order to get your own Tauntaun pet. There are currently four ways to get the jerky schematic:
-Drops from HM Kaon Under Siege final boss.
-Snowblind drops the schematic and jerky itself.
-Gargath also drops the schematic
-Primal Destroyer also drops the schematic
Of course, if you just need the jerky itself, you can make nice with someone who knows how to make it. But, if you are a biochemist who wants to learn it in order to make a few credits, get a group and head out hunting.
SWTOR Tip of the Day: Know Your Orange Belt and Bracer Farm Locations
As any level 50 player will tell you, orange gear is imperative to get in order to prepare your character for endgame raiding. They will also tell you that both orange bracers and belts are difficult to come by as they are not obtainable by crafting or as a reward for completing a normal quest.
Dulfy has compiled an excellent list of ways to get both an orange belt and bracer. You can try your luck using one of these methods, or you can hope someone puts in on a GTN kiosk near you.
Hope Trailer Fan Film
A bunch of highly talented French SWTOR fans recreated the “Hope” trailer in live action. They did an outstanding job! Take a look here.
An Ode to AskAJedi
As many in the SWTOR have heard by now, AskAJedi is no more.
Bill at AskAJedi was instrumental is the launch of BloggingTOR. When I was a young padawaan seeking instruction in the way of the Blog, I contacted Bill for help and he was more than willing to oblige. He mentioned my site in one post and exposed it to a lot of new readers. He also agreed to a link exchange without asking for anything else in return.
If only the rest of the galaxy were filled with life forms like the AskAJedi crew. Their site will be missed, but I am sure the folks behind it will be fighting to bring peace and balance to the universe where ever they may be.
Level 50!
I finally dinged Level 50 this morning while questing on Corellia. What took me so long? Well, I do have a real life that gets in the way of my MMOs. I have also been playing around with a few alts. In addition to my main Jedi Consular, I have a level 18 Jedi Knight and a level 12 Bounty Hunter (that I am LOVING right now).
Now that I’ve hit 50, I’m going to start getting ready for Endgame. SWTOR Strategies had a great article the other day on how to get set for the Endgane (as it currently is).
5 Things SWTOR Got Wrong
Following up on this post, I decided that I would take a look at the top five things that SWTOR got wrong (at least so far). Don’t get me wrong, I’m still having a blast a month after launch, but this game has some issues. Read on for more:
The Classes
Each faction only has four classes. Four. And, two of them are Jedi class. I realize that Bioware was making some assumptions that Jedis, bounty hunters, and smugglers were going to be popular classes, but only four classes at launch? I was disappointed in the lack of variety of class choice. As a suggestion, perhaps Bioware could have offered a merchant class? What about a hybrid class of soldier and being “force sensitive” where you could use blasters and have kinetic powers like sentinels in Mass Effect?
Also, I was very disappointed that there are no racial bonuses in the game. Yes, each race has a different social ability, but I would have liked to seen something that increases your stats or gives a special ability such as quicker running.
No Sandbox
SWTOR is screaming to be a sandbox game. Yes you are free to maneuver about and explore the entire universe at your leisure. But with the rich artwork and planetary environments, I am disappointed that I must progress in my quest line in a linear fashion. This is the Star Wars Galaxies yearning crying out here, but SWTOR would be such a better game if you were given a choice of which planet and how you would like to progress your quest line instead of being locked to a planet for 5-10 levels or so.
I am hopeful that a bit of the sandbox element can be introduced into this game with future planets. Also, Bioware hasn’t introduced player housing or shops yet. It will be interesting to see how they address these items.
Rinse and Repeat
Outside of the story quest line, the planetary quests are predictable and copies of each other: go to this area, do the bonus mission, kill the main bad guy, turn in quest. At least I don’t have to put on my Fed Ex hat and run delivery missions across and entire planet though.
If the game didn’t have the class story lines and most of the quests were constructed like the “normal” ones, I would lose interest in this game very quickly. Yes, even with lightsabers.
Crafting Balance
You know you have an imbalance in crafting when a majority of the player base believes that there are only two currently useful crafting professions. Bioware appears to be aware of this issue and has (and still plans to) make changes to the crafting professions in order to balance out their usefulness and make all professions appealing to all players.
However, this issue should have been addressed in beta. I realize that most beta testers were focused on quests and combat and only dabbled in the crafting to see how it worked (/raises hand). Bioware should have seen that smart players would overwhelmingly flock to anything that would give them the greatest advantage and instantly declare anything less undesirable.
I have also heard that endgame crafting is practically non-existent: that you can obtain much better endgame gear from missions and quests. Since I haven’t hit 50 yet, I can’t confirm this but if this is true would already cripple a questionable crafting system.
Too Traditional
I was disappointed that Bioware decided create a game with the traditional MMO elements instead of taking a chance on something new and different. At its base, SWTOR is a game where you complete quests, kill stuff and level up. Yes the story is excellent and does offer a new element in the MMO genre that shows that story is important in a MMO and can engage its audience instead of having them mind numbingly “kill 10 rats” over and over again.
However, this was a chance to break the traditional MMO way of doing things. SWTOR has the typical tank, DPS, healer classes. It has a linear class progression that follows a linear quest progression. It has junk loot, and buffs, and dungeons, and….you get the picture. SWTOR isn’t a WoW clone, but it didn’t do enough to distinct itself from WoW, LOTRO, Everquest, or any other large MMO created over the past 10 years.
I was expecting more than an online KOTOR. I was expecting a game that would change the MMO landscape as we knew it.
Conclusion
As I’ve said before, SWOTR is a fun game and I am enjoying my time. I have subscribed for the next three months, but unless things change, I am going to have to seriously evaluate if my time and money are worth giving to this game.
I am hopeful that Bioware is going to address their shortcomings and do all that they can to right this ship. The future success of the game depends on how they develop and mature this product now that such a large percentage of the player base is at or quickly approaching end game.
