SOE Fan Faire – SWG

As I receive updates from about 10 different sources, I will be compiling the information here! Check back often over the next 2 days! The times are listed, but I am not sure what time zone they are referring too. I am assuming PDT, but we will see. The Times are PDT, so I will show all the times in EST below

Friday’s expectations – TCG (1pm), New System announced (5pm), GCW panel (6pm), Collections & Quests (8pm), Smed’s speech (10pm).

TCG - Thank you Senator Jod!

The TCG Panel is talking a lot about the latest release of the Agents of Deception. There are many more scenarios and cards, not to mention the highly desired (and highly despised) Loot Cards!

Secret System!Chronicle Master Profession (Jod to the rescue again!)

A new profession that you gain XP by creating quests using NPCs and iconic characters of your choosing. You save the quests and allow others to complete them and rate them. The better the rating the better your XP reward is. You gain special items and rewards depending on how well you do.

GCW - Again, Jod is the hero of the day

GCW update is NOT guaranteed. They are considering it and want player feedback. They do NOT want novels written on what they should do. Keep the feedback coming

Concept encompasses all aspects. Additional NPCs to areas controlled. Entertainers entertain to keep morale up. GCW from ALL galaxies combined for score. Neutrals can participate!

Events – Thanks again Jod

Panel seems to just talk about the events current and past. Nothing new aside from scrapped ideas. We might see these systems evolve more every year.

Content - Woot Jod

A heroic Jewelry box is finally in works! Kashyyyk revamp might be in the future. Cybernetic legs and torso are coming. New Droids are coming too!

  1. :D Thanks MC!!! Curious though…happen to have a spare F5 key you could send me? I’m anticipating wearing mine out today ;)

  2. You can’t take a break right now. We won’t see anything new until around 5pm EST, so 2.5 hours

    • Will you save my spot?

  3. ::raises hand::

    Make that two F5 keys.

    Big thanks MC :) So wishing I was there.

    • I wish I was too! I’m starting to save now so I can go next year no matter what, hope to see the same crowd and more in 2010!

  4. You can have F5 key………

  5. You can have MY F5 key (how bout a few other keys from my keyboard aswell since i can’t seem 2 type today)

    • I’ll take your W,T,F and B,A,N keys also

  6. Don’t forget to watch Smeds webcast tonight at 7 PM PST- 9 PM CST.

    • Yup! I have it listed above and plan on watching! I’ll post a link once it’s on YouTube also. Even though he’ll only say 2 sentences about SWG

    • Wait…”watch”? Have a link?!

  7. Woot sorry, lol…first time noob here.

  8. is it time yet?

  9. So they are making story teller a profession basically?

  10. I hear they have another jedi robe planned. Anything on that?

    • nothing yet. I never heard of that being set though

      • Guess they were just pulling my leg…lol Thanks though. Nice job on all this

  11. Sounds like the “next big system” is storyteller on Crack :D

    I think it sounds promising.

  12. Thanks for the info really appreciate it!

  13. I wonder how many of the ideas they mentioned in the GCW update will not make it in… there where big disclaimers front and back that pretty much said: We might not do any of this.

  14. So any word on weather or not Engineer is going to get a revamp?

    Are the top five for each profession going to be considered any time in the near or “soon” future?

    Are they going to continue to balance professions where needed?

    Can we expect to see any new craftable items? Wearables?

    Thanks man and hope it’s all worth your time.

    • Engineer revamp is next. They are already well into development there.
      They are going to continue working on profession balance and issues, but no major updates are coming for any specific profession any time soon.
      New craftables and wearables are coming out all the time, I hope the engineer update goes well. Cybernetics are making a come back.

  15. Hey Cosmo, can you ask or confirm, is the Chronicles system ground only or can quests be done in space too?

    thanks

    • They only talked about ground, so I’ll have to ask later.

    • For “now”, ground only, but they do “plan” to expand it for space.

  16. what did smedley say then cant find it anywere

  17. Thanks for all of this. I personally think “Chronicles” is an epic failure for me anyways. I don’t really like the idea from what I’ve read about it, time will tell. This just seems like an idea imo for SOE to not have to work as hard to please us, we can please ourselves. A GCW Update would be awesome. There’s a difference between a PvP update and a GCW update. We need a mixture of both imo. The battlefields are good, but they got boring within the first week. Just my two cents.

  18. Did anyone ask about farming or gardening ?

    Is there a date for farming or gardening ?

  19. [...] needs to read the slides that were presented at Fan Faire, which are also posted here – http://mastercosmo.com/2009/06/26/soe-fan-faire-swg/ (And a HUGE thanks to Senator Jod for keeping us all updated! /bagel for you). The developers [...]

  20. [...] Master Cosmo [...]
