This patch kicks off this year's Lava Fest, where all the lockout timers for Mustafar instances are lifted, and new items are available on the vendor. Also included in this patch are a number of bugfixes and quality of life improvements.
The Galactic Civil War is a core part of the story of Star Wars, and in SWG, it's the best example of what a sandbox game can be. In this Developer Diary, we'll be sharing the full scope of changes that are coming this year to the GCW, why we've decided to pour everything into this update, and why we're excited for everyone to be able to play it.
"Would somebody get this big walking carpet out of my way..." From Banthas to Rancors and Tanrays to Durnis, Restoration players show down to find out who has the most powerful beast in the Galaxy. This time, however, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Pharples had had enough... People for the Ethical Treatment of Pharples Acklays, Nexus, and Reeks, oh my! Congratulations to Floyd the Nexu! What started out as a typical beast tournament turned sideways as protestors started to show up! At the conclusion of the tournament, this anti Bio-Engineer community rose up and unleashed their own creations against them in an all out battle for survival!
Restoration Player City Spotlight: Black Sun Ravine Welcome to the Restoration Player City Spotlight where our Community Programs Senator Nuri sits down to talk with the mayor of one of our awesome player cities giving you, our dear readers, the opportunity to learn more about one of the server's great player cities. In this episode we shine the spotlight on Black Sun Ravine, Tatooine. Black Sun Ravine is located in the North Central part of Tatooine nestled in some of the coolest-looking terrain in the game. Today we sit down with Ralna to learn more about one of Tatooine's oldest player cities.
The lair of the Queen of Mustafar has recently been uncovered at the end of the Tulrus Nesting Grounds. A special antidote to protect you from the lethal environment of the lair can only be applied via the Omniglobular Syringe. Beware as this ghastly arachnid has an learned a few new tricks... "Finally... The Sher Kar is here. And, listen, it would have been pretty anticlimactic if we released it after all this time without making some improvements to what was overall a pretty minor and forgettable instance in the live game. So we rewrote the entire script and created some brand new mechanics to make this into a challenging and rewarding fight with a few unique twists. It will test your communication and your loyalty... The Sher Kar is as beautiful as she is terrifying. And hungry."
"In the name of the Galactic Senate of the Republic, you are under arrest, Chancellor..." The Galactic Senate program continues to be a cornerstone of the SWG Restoration project as we welcome our 4th Galactic Senators. These individuals are elected by the Community in-game and are the voice representing their respective aspects of the game.
