SWG Tips- I Didn’t Know You Could Do That!

30th March - Submitted by starwarsgalaxiesempire

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)

SWG Forum- Meet the Person behind the Avatar

23rd March - Submitted by starwarsgalaxiesempire

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

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.

The SWG exploit controversy

16th March - Submitted by starwarsgalaxiesempire

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.

Best Ways to Get Credits in Star Wars Galaxies

2nd November - Submitted by starwarsgalaxiesempire

If you loved the Star Wars movies and always dreamed of being in a universe where’s the all kinds of alien races to interact with and cool ships you can purchase with SWG credits , then you’d probably like this game. Are you already into the game? Then you know that money, or credits, gets you everywhere. The problem is that Star Wars Galaxies credits, like money, take a lot of work to get.

The general way to get credits is to complete Star Wars Galaxies quests. As you start in SWG, the amount of credits you receive is small per each quest, but a lot of the things you can buy for yourself at that point are inexpensive. As you progress through the game, you’ll get more SWG credits per quest that you do. You may even find some extra lying around the bad guys you’ve beaten. It takes a lot of dedication to earn high amounts of Star Wars Galaxies credit this way but it’s free and builds other things like experience too.

If you’re already high up in levels and you want to get credits fast, you can always buy them. No, not buy credits with credits. You can purchase credits to add to your Star Wars Galaxies account from various websites for real money. Expensive, but you get quite a few credits per dollar. It’s a quick fix when you want SWG credits fast but don’t get used to just buying credits. It’ll rack you up a big bill over time and take away from the game experience of questing.

Leveling in an massive multiplayer online role playing game that’s new to you can be a little overwhelming, especially when it’s SWG leveling. There’s already thousands of players who are higher levels with tons of cool stuff that you want too, but you have to get to their level first. There’s many ways to go about Star Wars Galaxies leveling and the options can get confusing. Lucky for you, there’s tons of help to get you where you want to be.

If you’re having trouble leveling then the first place to go, outside of the game, is a Star Wars Galaxies forum. There are many forums dedicated to SWG with information such as what you’re supposed to do on your quests, what mods you can download to help your game play, and the best way to earn credits (money in the game). SWG Forums are mostly written by other players who have been through the same troubles that you’re going through. Sometimes the developers or testers of the game will also post on these forums to let you know what’s going on with patches and new content. Cool, huh?

SWG cheats are also a great to help with your leveling. However, if you do find some cheats, not mods, then you run the small risk of getting your account suspended. Star Wars Galaxies Leveling is meant to be fun and you earn the privilege of being amongst the highest players when you go through the game. Before you know it, you’ll be taking screenshots of your awesome Star Wars Galaxies Jedi.

Reasons why SWG Credits are so Important

19th October - Submitted by starwarsgalaxiesempire

We should not have to explain to you why money is important, but for the sake of SWG, this blog will deal with Star Wars Galaxies credits and their underlying importance to the game itself. For the most part, this game is a lot like life. If you want to be successful, then you absolutely have to do what it takes to keep yourself up to date with SWG money. You just can’t get the job done without it. So why are credits so very important in this game? Here are some reasons.

First and foremost, this game demands credits more so than almost any other game out there. Some games take it seriously, but few take it as seriously as this one does. In fact, you will probably find that in Star Wars Galaxies, you can hardly even play unless you have the right number of credits. SWG Credits are important in this game because they are actually pretty easy to find. The only problem with that is that you have to dedicate yourself to finding credits in some levels. If you don’t, then you can bet that your opponents will.

Ultimately, it all boils down to wanting to have an edge against the other people who are playing the game. If you can manage to get your hands on more Star Wars Galaxies credits than they can, then you can really put yourself at the top of the list as far as success is concerned. Without SWG credits, this is impossible, though.

3rd October - Submitted by starwarsgalaxiesempire

If you are having a lot of trouble getting ahead and staying there, then you might want to consider using SWG cheats in order to get you on top of the heap. The problem with this game is that it is new and for some players, that means that it is relatively difficult to conquer. You might be struggling to beat out the other players because you just are not accustomed to the gameplay in this game. It does not have to be this way, though. You can start using Star Wars Galaxies cheats and get a good start on this game.

One of the biggest complaints that players are having about SWG is that it has some big time glitches. That is the case with many new games, as the makers just have not quite figured out how to make it perfect yet. What does this mean for players? It does not have to be a negative, at all. Instead, you can turn it around and make it into a positive situation. You can use those bugs to your advantage by letting SWG cheats do the work for you.

When you start using cheats in Star Wars Galaxies, you will immediately notice that all of the players around you just aren’t getting the job done. You will be on top of the heap, so to speak.

Tips for Effective Star Wars Galaxies Leveling

27th September - Submitted by starwarsgalaxiesempire

The key to Star Wars Galaxies and any game for that matter is learning the art of effective SWG leveling very early on. Leveling, at its most basic definition, is known how to get through the levels as quickly as you can. That is a very valuable skill because it will keep the game moving, make it much more fun for you, and allow you to finish the game and get on top before it gets boring. It is not easy to level through this game, though. That is why I am focusing on some Star Wars Galaxies tips in this blog.

Don’t get bogged down – This game has a pretty complicated storyline, so it can be really easy to get bogged down in the SWG levels. You might think that you have to do every little thing and take out every little enemy. That isn’t the case, though. Effective leveling is all about efficiency. It is all about getting through the Star Wars Galaxies levels with as little effort as you possibly can. If you can concentrate on just moving, then you will be in better shape at the end of the round.

Keep up with the changes – If you want to be good at SWG leveling, you have to have your finger on the pulse of the game. Unlike many other games, this is one that is always changing. There is always something new being added to this game, so you have to know what you are doing. That will allow you to fly through the Star Wars Galaxies levels very quickly.
