A small, helpful SWG tip can end up saving you many minutes if not hours of time and frustration. A tip is usually a small piece of information designed to simplify a task. SWG hints and tips can provide valuable guidance and information for not only beginners but also the most advanced players.

I am going to share some simple, time saving Star Wars Galaxies tips. Unfortunately the developers haven’t made them that available for gamers. You may already be familiar with some of them, but for the gamers that are not, they can be incredibly handy.

FINDING BUILDINGS
use /locate to get a list with coordinates to all the structures you own.

TARGETING
RADAR FOR TARGETTING: if you move the cursor onto a dot in the radar circle it tells you what that dot is and its waypoints. Even more cool if you click on the dot it makes that your target. So you can simply click on a dot and you’re in business.

TRAVELLING
AUTO-DRIVE: clicking the “Num Lock” key sets you to an auto-drive of sorts. You can still move the mouse to change direction. (or if you don’t use mouse point mode, can steer with turning keys as per usual)

VARIOUS STYLES OF SPEACH BUBBLES
/state or proclaim
/mumble or moan
/recite
/whisper (which i think has a short range)
/gossip
/yell or shout (which has a range of 100m)
/howl
/huff
/jabber
/blurt
/stutter
/rap

These are just a few of the many tips that every gamer should have. You can find the complete list here: SWG Tips (Game Tips)

Star Wars Galaxies is featuring a series “Meet the Senators” where each week you are introduced to the people who serve on the Galactic Senate. They discuss their role as senator, what it’s like working with other senates, what they enjoy about the game, and other interesting information. They also discuss real life information such as what they do for a living or their favorite hubbies to give you an opportunity to really get to know them.

Some of the Senators SWG has interviewed are:

• Bounty Hunter


• Events
• Rebel


• Spy

These interviews give you a chance to connect with and really get to know the person behind the avatar. Getting to know the people you share your virtual world with and communicating with them can make the game so much more interesting and fun.

If you would like to take the game to the next level, join me and hundreds of other members who are part of a SWG forum. A forum is a place where we can gather to not only socialize and talk about the game but also share Star Wars Galaxies tips with each other. You can build friendships, meet your new clan member, get help with a certain mission, or just hang out.

Some may say galaxies far, far away is not what it used to be. Star Wars Galaxies was released in 2003 and the game received mostly positive reviews, however, starting in 2005 some updates were made that were met with mixed reviews by gamers. While some supported the updates, many criticized Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) for making some of these changes and signups began dropping dramatically. Two major updates were:

Combat Upgrade (CU) fixed exploits that previously allowed some professions to abuse defensive abilities and also some which allowed characters to attack while afk (away from keyboard). With this fix, combat turned into more of a talent for those players who were skilled with SWG macro scripting code instead of those who were skilled at technical combat.

After the combat update:

New Game Enhancements (NGE) was an update where professions were reduced and many aspects of the game were overly simplified. Jedi also became a starting profession. SOE was criticized for taking the depth and complexity out of the game with this update.

After the NGE update

SWG is also notorious for being extremely buggy which makes it easy to exploit. A SWG exploit is a game glitch or bug that can be used to player’s advantages to do incredible things that are not possible with regular game play. Although these bugs can take away from gameplay and quality of the game, like many other players, I have found that by taking advantage of the Star Wars Galaxies exploits we can bring back some of the fun and excitement of the old SWG that we loved.
