Star Wars Galaxies: Publish 29 Preview Coming to Test Center 2!

What is Test Center 2?

Test Center 2 is just a different galaxy used for testing purposes. This galaxy is the same as any other galaxy, but it will have anticipated changes from Publish 29.

How do I log on to Test Center2?

You will be able to log on to Test Center 2 using the Test Center Launchpad. You will have to make a new character to play on this galaxy.

If I have to make a new character, will there be Character Builders (Blue Frogs)?

Yes, the "Blue Frogs" will be available.

What are the game features that will be on Test Center 2?

The 2 key changes we will be focusing on are:

* Combat Changes: We're reducing default weapon speed a bit, adding the Weapon Retrofit (to make your weapons more useful and meaningful), and putting in some new combat maneuvers that will increase the number of choices during encounters (adding depth to combat strategies and decisions).

Some other details included in this change are:

o Decreased default attack speeds
o Weapon retrofit changes
o Adding glancing blows
o Critical hits

* Targeting: Enhanced combat targeting and non-combat targeting will also be a part of the Test Center 2 changes. Sticky targeting will help make combat targeting easier to control. Non-combat targeting will be re-introduced to make items in houses more easily movable.

You will be able to find more details about these changes as soon as Test Center 2 is available. We'll have designated focus threads available so that as you play with the new features, we can get your valuable feedback!

Thanks!
