Lets play some SWG again, only not on SWGEMUs basilisk this time. This is DoktorImp/slab'bulkhead from our previous go at SWG from almost a year ago.
""Features"" SWG project pheonix has the second highest population aside from SWGEMU and currently has jedi implemented. Its keeping pre-CU combat but is adding post NGE cosmetics, weapons and vehicles+housing from the TCG including a planned mechanic class to make said cool vehicles and mounts. Server population is steadily increasing to nearly 500 and the server is only started a few months ago. Lower pop means the admins have augmented the game for such by making player cities not need 10 players (I think) to maintain and buff terminals are around if you cant find a doctor which cleanse your wounds and diseases for free and for 10k credits will give you a mediocre buff (so doctors are still useful) to help you take on the world.
""Grind"" you earn experience at a much higher rate than vanilla SWGEMU, you faggots who are no longer blessed with NEETdom can fit grinding a skill to mastery or even getting to jedi within your work week. the only thing that remains x1 to my knowledge is the jedi grind.
To become a jedi you have to master almost every profession in the game, visit most of the galaxies Points of interest and finish some content. You will also become hunted by player Bounty Hunters and if you die you will loose a nice chunk of jedi EXP. meaning not everyone is running around as a super-jew with a plasma-bat.
PVP is a good time and if you can drop one of the jedi here the bounties ive seen have been up to 500 thousand credits a head.
""PVE content"" Project Pheonix has occasional admin events and numerous bosses who drop loot from both pre-CU and post NGE, the corellian corvette instance has been implemented as well.
"Misc info"" Server has decent admins from what i've seen so long as you don't go full 14/88 and the server even has its own autistic fuck that everyone enjoys picking on. Server uptime has been better lately, hosted on east coast I believe but shouldn't be a problem for any burgers. Every house can be built on any planet including that which you cannot build on in vanilla like Yavin IV
""Install and Login"" website is here, be sure to register, your login info for project pheonixes site will be what you use to login once you launch. projectphoenix.com.shivtr.com/ SWGEMU launcher here swgemu.com/forums/content.php?r=179-Install-SWGEmu Since the install video and instructions on the site are braindead retarded let me give you the easy way. Own a legit disk copy or find a torrent of the full disk set, as with SWGEMU from last time don't admit to piracy it could bring legal trouble from the disney jew. this is the reason the SWGEMU site claims you cant use torrented versions, which work fine.
Install SWGEMUs launcher and install it into your SWG directory, run a check, then install the launcher on the project pheonix website and direct it to check your SWG folder, once the pheonix launcher finishes installing you are good to go.
if you decide to join send a /tell to "Top Kex", but you can /tell or send mail using simply "Top" we can make our guild tag DOSE like last time. Ive also asked the admins if they can spawn a crashed ship for "my community which may be joining the server" so if that gets approved our town name will be something like "Wreckage Brothers Rest"
and yes our town will actually have a shuttleport this time. :^)
I remember these threads, do you guy have other players in the group or is it only a few of you?
Elijah Myers
our original group had nearly 20 people if I recall, If we can get more people onboard it will be a great time. server is so young we could actually make an impact on the server economy. Also you can play as a hutt, I have a hutt alt named goldbergestein.
Carter Williams
So how along are the Pre-CU professions, I remember starting up SWGEMU and realizing that Creature Handler was still mostly not working then quitting out of frustration. Also glad they are adding NGE items and such, adds more variety.
Jacob Robinson
Can I play as a Dungeon♂Master and spawn minions named the Boys♂Next♂Door?
Evan Morgan
professions in this server are reworked, also the singing mountain clan race plus a +25 Creature level tape will allow you to tame baby canyon krayt dragons. creature handler seems to work just fine.
Christian Peterson
I was mostly pissed the guard function didn't work, if something just targeted me the pet would just sit there like a dumb fuck. So to use a pet it was just one more step of micro I didn't want to deal with.
Ryan Perez
There's too much timesink going on right now.
Lucas King
...
Ian Diaz
Any good torrents? The less legwork you have anons do the more might show up.
Liam Barnes
(((thepiratebay))) has one since kickass is dead now.
Hudson Long
I can throw the game discs on vola, unless someone wants to dig up a magnet link.
Ian Green
dew it
Jaxon Foster
Ill be online for another hour or two yet so if any of you get in, do send me a message.
Henry Nelson
joinan soon
Eli Diaz
It'll probably be on vola in about half an hour because comcast a shit. volafile.io/r/HF33Go
I'm currently on for a bit less than an hour before work, send a message to Top.
Hunter Rogers
Will do when the fucking thing gets done checking.
Hudson James
downloading. Ill send a message after I jump through the hoops
Liam Barnes
I have returned from wageslavery so tonight I can get everyone situated
John Jones
one minutes until the torrent finishes. Whats the highest pop you seen since you been playing, and is this a newish server?
Jonathan Mitchell
server started on only about three or four months ago, highest population being about 300, you see a message each time someone joins the server as a new character and ive been seeing several a day, server pop steadily climbing.
Aiden Edwards
Question. Do people look fondly upon the launch version of SWG? Because that's the only one I played and GOD DAMN It was a terrible game.
Owen Reyes
I only played the trail of this a few years back.
So is space combat in yet? Can you pilot AT-ATs/AT-STs? I remember someone talking about "Jedi ghosts" in a thread a while back. Is it possible o become one?
Evan Jenkins
space combat is up on a single NGE server at the moment, basilisk devs and the PRE-CU branched servers are still a ways off, but jedi is trickling out into most of them, I think basi devs might hone in on JTL or atleast the groundwork for it once the jedi publish and fixes are out.
William Price
Getting it set up now and should log on soon. I don't know if your still on though
Eli Bailey
Help
Nicholas Hall
What do female characters wear if you unequip their clothes?
Jose Murphy
I used my username and password for my login but it didn't seem to werk. Something about automatic registration disabled?
Asher Flores
oh wait, maybe I need their custom launcher.
Adrian White
once you install the pheonix client into your SWG/SWGEMU install you need to launch it via the pheonix launcher.
Carter Butler
That was it, I just pointed it to my STWEmu folder and its getting the shit it needs
Kevin Lewis
So how alive is the server then? Can I be a smuggler/drug pusher?
Jacob Davis
bumping for weekend fun. Also yes you can be a smuggler. you can convert credits into favor with imps/rebs hack open locked containers, slice terminals for better mission payouts, slice armor and weapons for effectiveness and create a dozen or so different spices and drugs.
Chase Perry
made a neuron emit an electronic pulse
Asher Lopez
I remember playing some of this game and liking it
Except
It was one of the few mmorpgs I actually started to like playing but I got so bored of it really fast. It's a shame since I did really like playing as a travelling musician playing music for other players but the shitty combat system really made me lose interest fast.
i simply cannot get phoenix to fucking work, and am reasonably sure i'm not retarded. i had a working install of swgemu, have installed phoenix, and no matter how i arrange my files, which resolution I run at or whether or not it's set to windowed mode i always get a "SWGclient_r has stopped working" error
Benjamin Ward
It runs 30 but the frame timings are really off. Thats why it doesnt feel silky smooth
Christian Harris
yeah thats a good point, that they're now looking to get the mo-cap and voice actors involved gives me a lot of hope. and well, there's no harm in me experiencing the game as it is now, and then looking forward down the line to playing with all the changes again.
SE and Tabata made it clear they intend to make this a game that fans can enjoy for a long while, so it's great to see they're still going to develop things for it.
Matthew Collins
3/4 of the posts in the thread are people correcting my analogy. Sorry op, you're thread sucks, I got all the (you)s. I'm 8 btw :D
Nolan Hill
Controls and camera are of their time, and even then II had much worse camera issues in its closing levels. The charm of the game is timeless, though.
Ayden Scott
so what? are you butthurt because someone called you a retard for being stupid? what are you even trying to prove? that you are retarded and proud about it?
Joshua Wilson
See but nonlinear parts aren't that great either there's literally TWO cities in the entire game you get to go to and everything else is a little outpost on the side of the road. Every side quest is a fetch quest. The overworld itself is neat but traversing it is a pain.
This suffered from a lot of the same problems MGSV did for me in that it didn't do anything to warrant having an open world and it feels like it could have been broken down into more focused and detailed segments to create a better game.
Jonathan Torres
have you tried using the SWGEMU launchers CHECK button on your pheonix install? something might be awry
Ian Morris
You can drop and change classes at will (though you have to grind xp again when you do). so it is not a huge deal, especially for the first tier professions
i played years as a tkm/master rifleman and it was pretty cheesy if that is what you are looking for. assuming the classes play the same as they did in 2005
Noah Ward
Holy fucking shit, does this game attract people who can't write instructions worth of a shit?
Isaiah Edwards
I managed to get it working, but jesus Christ these constant disconnects are getting annoying. is there anywhere that I can get a starter kit of gear for my class? or am I relegated to just grinding naked until I can get some gear?
Cameron Robinson
It says the server is down for me everytime I try to log in. Phoenix server status is always down
Server is being DDOSed today for some reason,for some reason multiple servers for SWG are getting DDOSed. Basilisk devs getting angry people are jumping ship?
Lad ive seen the server population charts, awakening is one of the lower pop servers.
Project pheonix launcher sometimes incorrectly displays server downtimes, often I can log in when it says its down, so always try it first. but the server has been shitting itself today as well.
Adrian Thomas
wait pardon my doublepost but I see they seem to actually be very active, is awakening mote active even than basilisk? the peak forum activity even has been almost 600 users which is promising but what concerns me more is that they dont list actual population.
Andrew Hernandez
I don't know man, I play and people play with me, cnet is always packed, mos eisley is too.
I didn't even know you could check populations yourself
Parker Foster
this website here has graphs of every server that will actually reveal its population stats.revelationonline.net/
John Williams
So what's the deal with the rebel NPCs in theed? Having a couple of imperial recruiters and terminals being watched by a rebel trooper is pretty bizarre
Julian Gutierrez
World 3 was on 6th gen consoles, too. Probably so bad that it was more obscure.
Hudson Lopez

Ryan Sanchez
This constant serb crashing is pretty annoying

Joshua Sanders
I'm currently online, if any of you need some newbro gear, crafting tools, a little bit of resources to craft something, etc. message Top as always.
Brandon Baker
for FUCK'S SAKE
Gavin Turner
Any images of this? Is there hutt clothes?
Elijah Gutierrez
What ever happened to our old town?
Cameron Lee
top, get back online you turbokike. i want to help set up our settlement
Levi Hernandez
On Basilisk? It's still there. Rotting away, but it's there.
Nicholas Watson
Every fucking day something new.
Brody Morales
This is art
Tyler Lopez
tonight at 11: when womp rats bullseye YOU
Landon Ross
good thing you circled the text in the middle of the motherfucking screenshot, we might have missed it otherwise
Lincoln Martin
with bustas like you up in this piece i gotta make sure to make it real obvious
Cameron Price
How long does it take to log in? It just hovers at connecting to log in server
Ryder Harris
Server May have frozen or something. But rather than going into stasis it should reboot in a moment of two. Make sure you are launching via the pheonix launched and not swgemu.
Also slab I might be down and out for a week. Ancient power supply started giving an acrid smell so I shut it down in a hurry. Will try to see if I can boot and play for a while without it bursting tomorrow or in an hour. Currently so much as flipping on the manual power so current can go through is causing it to heat.
Daniel Green
no worries, i'm sure we can live without your kikery for a week or so
Zachary Howard
ita werkin now, where can I find you fags?
Connor Ross
also where do I get a fancy speeder?
Hudson Young
whats your ingame?
Evan Richardson
you still around? i just logged off, but could log back on long enough to get you into the guild
Ryder Rodriguez
well, gimme a sec to reroll. I forgot to change my name so I figured while I wait for the hour cooldown I could learn how to play. I should be good in another 10 minutes, what Planet are you on?
Lucas Ortiz
Tatooine. /tell slab when you get ingame, i'll get you in the guild and send you waypoints to our rape bunker
Nicholas Walker
kk, shank man do I just type /tell in the chatbox?
John Rogers
yes so /tell slab or /tell goldbergestein me and slab have both made jewish Hutt alts as crafters now
Hudson Green
kk, one last question, is there a way to adjust the graphics? I hate how the world loads in 10 feet infront of you.
Jonathan Barnes
the wrench icon bottom right, turn off character LOD manager if you see it as well.
Ayden Anderson
This might take a bit longer, I was pretty sure an hour was up but I guess not. If I don't message you tonight then I will tomorrow. No need to wait up though.
Nathaniel Myers
if you can't get ahold of us don't panic, you're not really missing much yet. we have the beginnings of a small settlement set up with a few crafting stations but other than that you'd be on your own.
frankly here's my advice: you wanna go a combat class? start on dantooine, go to stone haven or whatever the lower right town is called and stack up missions. you can have ten at a time, so if you make sure each one is in the same compass direction you can save a lot of time and make anywhere from 30-70k credits per set of missions to begin with. make sure to get buffs from the "buff house" and, after choosing your missions, stay in that dancer's group - you'll get bonuses to xp and gathering for it
if you want a gatherer or artisan, i don't really know, i've only ever made crafter alts when i'm rich enough with a main character to power that fucker through the ranks by throwing money at it, so be aware
Owen Torres
Downloading the client from vola now, and aslong as the file expiring before the download is finished doesn't fuck with the download I'll be on in two to three hours. I'm fairly new to SWG I tried it on a private server awhile back but without a group to play with I didn't get very far.
Brayden Baker
Finally made it in, Im Biff, looks like you are off now so hopefully I can get you tomorrow.
Andrew Ortiz
anyone on today?
Jayden Rodriguez
I'll be on shortly. Message too or goldbergestein and I'll send you the coordinates to the bunker.
Ayden Hernandez
...
Luke Turner
goddammit i am so sick of this shit
Zachary Evans
Server stability is going to be like this for a bit due to engine upgrade. however since its crashing and not just locking up the servers auto restart kicks in and it doesn't need 6 hours like basi, probably like 5 minutes.
Also solo groups like the one that entertainer gave you allow you to take higher paying missions. that solo group can get you 30k+enraged bull rancor mission on dath
Ryan Peterson
and its already back up.
Justin Moore
Yeah those are the ones you should refresh constantly for.
Jonathan Bennett
Alright nigger, how well does it run on a toaster? Are the discs still on Vola?
Lucas Mitchell
So do I torrent the complete version? Is that what it's called? I bought it years ago but threw it away after Sony destroyed the game. I just remember the box had angry wookies on it.
Chase Taylor
Damnit! Go back to your containment board, Holla Forums!
Parker Powell
Issat a blue human or did they add custom Chiss?
Kayden Thompson
oy vey
Zachary Baker
The game is from pre 2005 how do you think it runs on a 2016 toaster.
Torrent the full disk set. Three disks in all.
Chiss are in-game, as are hutts, playable nightsisters/singing mountain clan, devornians, bith, and several other races.
Camden Cook
where is eeryone, is there a way to see if members are online?
Easton Jackson
/addfriend
Thomas Anderson
I asked one of the CSRs if our city could get either the crashed starship wreck in eisley or the mos espa crashed ship cantina, it would be a nice addition when we found "wreckage brothers rest"
We will get a green or red light on that when the new engine shit is sorted.
Blake Wright
Why not wait to start up threads for this game on Holla Forums until its developed a little more? People are going to burn out on an unfinished game.
That being said I'll join then. I never got to play it and it was supposedly the best most unique mmo ever.
Owen Morales
It's pretty ugly tbh
Lincoln Price
...
Caleb Foster
Wreckage Brothers rest is now active on tatooine, we have our own city with shuttleport now.
Poeple are also gonna use our shuttle frequently to get at the krayt dragon graveyard. Taxation is heaven.
Alexander James

Christian Cox
Jesus fuck I forgot how ass-backwards the control scheme was.
Andrew Anderson
try setting your keymap to the first person shooter preset
Thomas Campbell
You can change keymaps. The FPS one is the best imo, just make sure to untick "chase camera" in the keymap menu.
Camden Mitchell
anyone on?
Mason Rodriguez
I can't seem to install the phoenix one. It keeps on using the swgemu client even if i launched phoenix.
Colton Allen
I'll be on in an hour or so. Name's Deendu Nuffin, if anybody wants to invite me to the guild or whatever you guys have going.
David Gray
Phoenix is an assache to install.
Liam Wilson

Daniel Fisher
We have basic skill trainers and a vendor with survey tools and crafting kits up of anyone needs them while I'm away. I will be around most of this week from here own out.
Logan Howard
CRASH LIFE 4 LIFE
David Ramirez
I'm going to be in most of the day if any of you need into the guild. Our city is wreckage brothers rest on tatooine.
Christopher Cook
OP! WHEN YOU WILL RELEASE LINUX FOSS VERSION OF SOFTWARE?
Connor Mitchell
just crash my shit up fam
Aaron Stewart
This fucking server
Charles Gonzalez
Im still prowling around, any of you who needed in around tonight? Ive added deendu and isaw waiting for them to log in.
Carter Garcia
Is the player count accurate? 44 people online? Kek
Jaxson Ward
Hey fags get in here were doing deathwatch bunker
Gavin Parker
...
Evan Diaz
So, is there a trick to making the graphics not ass? The in-game settings seem to reset themselves. I remember the live SWG back in the day didn't look that shitty.
Charles Fisher
Live SWG post NGE actually had minor graphical improvements, but not much.
Luis Adams
Least concise art direction for any game ever made.
Jaxson King
i saw dunkey video on this, game sucks shit
Levi Hill
Doesnt matter if someone still gets made about it.
Adrian Parker
yes, TF 2 and Battlefront 2 you guys are alright
Chase Myers
Put your dick in it
Lincoln Green
PS1 versions of 1 and 2 are amazing, great atmosphere
GBC version of 2 is a fun RPG
3 is great overall, not on PC though
4 is trash don't bother
5 is really good, can explore all of Hogwarts, heaps of fun.
Haven't played 6 or 7pt1/p2
Mason Thomas
Poor Jeffrey.
Zachary Thomas
So according to an interview posted in last thread we have 5 types of weapons (with each category having around 10 weapons), so do we knoe them all already, i remember
What am i missing? Or they havent revealed them all yet?
Luke Moore
where did things go wrong for him?
William Clark
Any news on the update thats going to fix the stability? Also I feel like Im missing something while playing this game, what else should I be doing?
Jeremiah Rivera
the hole you feel is the lack of JTL or players to run raids with, it really is a damn shame. Stability should be improving over the next week or so since the engine update, if you want some companions to do shit with send top a message. Ill get you fixed with armor and put you in the right direction.
Luis Scott
Geo raid when.
Camden Wilson
death watch bunker finally is fixed, me and slab are in it, if any of you are on get in here its time for fun
William Young
I'll be on in a bit. They expect the player count to upswing?. I see the other sever has like 800 0lus. Whats the deal with the other one that folks don't like?
Oliver King
player count will upswing more as server stability increases, as it stands it seems active with real players while basilisk seems to just be a towns of AFK alts, the server is so young though that we have an opportunity to make a very heavy impact in the economy and claim the land that we want rather than being nobodies.
Brandon Fisher

Michael Campbell
Invite Jagger, I think goldberg is afk
Joshua Nguyen

Nolan Kelly
Jagger still needs permisson to open shit, How will I build a sexbot if I can get muh metals?
Isaiah Mitchell
AFK sampling will gather you a shitload, and if you're buffed you'll have enough action points to do it basically indefinitely. or just buy some you cheap fucking scab
Oliver Phillips
Excuse me? Do I look like an animal, do you expect me to prostrate myself in the wastes and gather these materials with my artisans hands? I WILL BE THE BUILDER OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY SEX BOTS HOW DARE YOU EVEN SUGGEST I LABOR LIKE A COMMON ANIMAL
fine
William Butler
there's a 1 credit per unit vendor in Stone Haven on Dantooine who sells basic steel, aluminum etc
Benjamin Cooper
Also I'm not sure how you even get minerals and metals
Ayden Rivera
if you need it on a small scale, buy a surveying tool from our small guy vendor in the bunker. remember that if you're looking for minerals to get a mineral detector and so on. then, use the survey tool and it's pretty self-explanatory from there on how to find the resource you're looking for. once at the deposit you want to exploit, if you only need a small amount of materials (a couple hundred steel, for example, just to get to the next tier of crafting) then just sample the area and you'll grab some of whatever resource is highest concentration there. if you want to go large scale it's a whole different ball game.
large scale resource harvesting requires a harvester deed, which follows the same rules as a survey tool insofar as a mineral harvester will only pull up minerals. when you get to where you want it, you just use the deed for it and bam presto. it then requires money - yes, you literally need to cram money into the machine to pay its maintenance costs, and cannot as far as i know pay from your bank - and it also requires power, which can only be gathered through a power generator - a wind turbine etc. if you have one, you then take power out of the turbine's hopper like any other resource, load it into whatever harvester you want to power, and flip the switch
tl;dr i do not know how i got here i am not good with computer
Jose Jones
another thing worth mentioning is that each planet has specific resources, which doesn't mean anything to you right now but will in the near future. also remember that each type of resource has different quality levels - the steel from tatooine, for example, is pretty low quality as far as i've seen.
this is why SWG's crafting system is so unique and highly-rated and for my money is the best that was ever put into a videogame. if you make a blaster out of tatooine steel, for example it will be objectively worse and have worse stats than the exact same type/class of blaster made with Corellian steel
Landon Barnes
uuugghhh crafting sounds hard. I just wanted to be the weridd guy in the basement that made seexxboottssss.
Also this is a bit confusing. for the earlry stuff it says metal, and chemical. So does that mean ANY chemical and metal?
Caleb Ramirez
if it just wants metal then yes throw whatever of good quality in there. more complex stuff will want specific things from "non-ferrous metal" to straight "Whateverthefuck-class-copper"
also
Robert Wood
Oh shit son, could we ever help you if you got ganked? How does pvp even work in this game?
Camden Baker
this is a KOTOR meme only, resources across all worlds are randomly generated with no evidence of any sort of value range-bias for planets
