Az első részben megtanulhatjuk a karakterkreálás minden csínját-bínját.

Emlékeztek még, milyen volt az első MMO-val játszani?

Ezalatt – minthogy az időjárás is kedvez ennek – kellemes télies kikapcsolódást mindenkinek!

A kérdéseket ebben a topikban tehetitek fel a hivatalos fórumon, természetesen angolul.

Néhány irányvonal:

• mindenki egy darab kérdést tehet fel egy adott héten
• fogalmazd meg a lehető legrövidebben a mondandódat – adhatsz némi hátteret, de ne bonyolódj félórás körmondatokba
• kérdezz! Az egyéb visszajelzéseknek megvan a saját helyük a fórumon.
• ne kérdezz olyat, amire nyilvánvalóan nem válaszolhatnak vagy nincs rá válasz
• ez nem vitatopik, ne reagálj a többiek postjaira – a nem ide tartozó kommenteket törlik

A jövő heti kérdéseket kedd este kilencig küldhetitek be, ezután választják ki a 10 “nyertest”, amiket majd február 10-én megválaszolnak.

Rendszeresen lesz ezentúl egy heti devtracker-összefoglaló is, amit természetesen mindig megosztunk majd veletek.

Milyen egyéb sportjátékot tudnátok elképzelni az SWTOR-ban?

DE!

Akár hiszitek, akár nem, lehetne sokkal, sokkal, SOKKAL rosszabb is…

Elég széles körű javítás lesz, PvP, class-finomhangolás, operation- és flashpoint-fix, ability delayre vonatkozó rész is van benne, sok egyéb más mellett. Még nincs hír arról, mikor kerül ki az éles szerverekre.

Mivel csak szerveroldali javításra van szükség, nem lesz letöltendő patch.

Ami nekünk a legfontosabb:

“SWTOR has generated 1.7 million active subscribers and sold through more than 2 million units in a little over one month.”

“Star Wars: The Old Republic is developing a committed community of players with more than 1.7 million active subscribers and growing.” (John Riccitiello, CEO)

Tehát a játékból több, mint kétmillió darabot adtak el világszerte és ebből több, mint 1.7 millióan jelenleg is aktív előfizetők, vagyis a lemorzsolódás csupán 15%, ráadásul az előfizetői létszám folyamatosan nő.

A játék köszöni, jól van, nem lesz F2P, nem zárják be a szervereket, mi lesz veletek, doomsayerek?

Kis idővel később kiderült, hogy valamilyen exploit folytán sikerült megkaparintania, ezért pár nappal később meg is érkezett a hivatalos válasz illetve megtorlás rá.

We’ve done some investigating and discovered that CatchDeathwalker did not obtain the white crystal through legitimate means in the game. Right now, we’re removing the crystal from his possession, and we’re going to have some more information for you as soon as possible about this situation (but don’t worry, we won’t post any spoilers!).

We apologize for not responding to this thread sooner, but we needed to investigate the issue before commenting.

Természetesen erre mindenki elkezdett találgatni, hogy vajon direkt csinálta-e vagy csak véletlenül. Bár a srác válltig állította hogy nem exploitolt, Stephen Reid elárulta, hogy véletlenül ezt nem lehetett volna megszerezni, illetve, hogy a kristálynak még benne se kéne lennie a játékban.

Hello everyone, I wanted to clarify a little on our actions here. Here’s the biggest question I wanted to address:

Originally Posted by Part_Time_Hero

Unfortunately the actions of the player in question were intentional and deliberate. As well as the item being removed, further action was taken on this player’s account. This was not an ‘easy exploit’, and not something the average player might ’stumble upon’.

Beyond that, we will not be commenting further – either on the player’s method of obtaining the crystal or actions on their account.

Right now, it is not possible to legitimately obtain a White Lightsaber Crystal in the game through any gameplay method. In the future, it will be possible to legitimately obtain. When that day comes, we’ll let you know so you can go about obtaining the crystal for your characters.

Again, we apologize for not commenting sooner as our investigation was ongoing.
