TCPrime/TestCenter Update Notes - September 11th, 2009


 

IMPORTANT: To start creating your first quest, you will need to gather some relics. One way to find relics is through looting mobs. We encourage players to take extra relics they find and list them on the Bazaar. Once you have a relic in your inventory, radial it and select "Add to Chronicle Relics". You will then see new tasks available in the quest editor and you can start creating holocrons.

 

Star Wars Chronicles

Its time to open your imagination and start creating stories to share with your friends. With the Star Wars Chronicles system, you now have the ability to create stories from relics you will discover throughout the galaxy. Use the Quest Builder to write your story with the relics you have discovered. Hit Create Quest to consume the relics and create a holocron in your inventory. This holocron can be traded to others or activated to begin the adventure. Completing holocrons will reward you with profession experience and tokens. Tokens can be used at the Chronicles reward vendor, S7-U44 Vending Droid, in both Theed and Coronet. The vendors are in the tent behind C-3PO. You can purchase relic booster packs from them. Soon many more exciting rewards will be available including a Sandcrawler house, hangar lite, a podracer, and much more.

For some friendly assistance, speak with C-3PO and he will explain more about Chronicles. 

  • Chronicle Master all players can advance in the chronicle profession. Open your profession wheel and take a look at what awaits as you advance as a chronicler.
  • Quest Builder the tool used to create holocrons or drafts.
  • Draft a saved version of your quest. Creating drafts does not consume relics. You can edit drafts freely. They can be used to create holocrons.
  • Relics objects that represent memory, experiences, visions. You will discover relics as you play the game.
  • Holocrons by pressing create quest in the Quest Builder, you will consume the relics for your quest and produce a holocron in your inventory. This can be traded or sold on the Bazaar. Players can active them to participate in your quest.
  • Sharing as you progress in the Chronicle profession, you will gain the ability to allow your Chronicle holocrons to be shared. Sharing will allow multiple players to enjoy your quest from a single holocron.
  • Fragments relic fragments. They are acquired through loot, as a byproduct of creating a holocron, and by deconstructing relics. Fragments can be combined to create a relic.
  • Tokens earned for completing other peoples quests. We will be adding tokens as rewards for you when other people complete your quests.
  • Relic booster packs purchased from the Chronicles reward vendors by using tokens, they provide 5 random relics.  

Vendor/Bazaar

  • Search By Attribute: Selected object types can now be searched by selected attributes in the vendor/bazaar window. If the selected object in the Object Type Filter tree of the vendor/bazaar window supports search by attribute, the "Enable Item Attribute Filter" checkbox will be displayed at the bottom of the window where you can perform search by attribute.
  • The price limit on the bazaar has been increased to 10,000,000 credits.
  • Vendor price limit has been increased to 833,333,333 credits.
  • Resource container on vendor/bazaar that are instant sale now contains the "Credits Per Unit" attribute. This attribute is also searchable through item attribute search.
  • A /locateVendor command has been added to find all your initialized vendors and report their status. The command has a 15 minute cooldown.
  • If the seller of a vendor/bazaar item doesn't have enough room in the bank to receive the credits from the sale, any "overflow" credit amount will be applied to the cash balance, up to the maximum cash balance limit.
  • You can now specify more characters on the item name filter entry field.  

Banking

  • Galactic Reserve
    • You can store up to 3 billion credits per character in "long term, for a rainy day" storage in the Galactic Reserve. There is no interest paid on credits kept in the Galactic Reserve.
    • From any banking terminal in any of the Galactic Reserve 3 branch cities (Mos Eisley, Theed, and Coronet), through the bank terminal's radial menu, you can deposit/withdraw 1 billion credits at a time to/from the Galactic Reserve.
    • If you have a deposit with the Galactic Reserve, the balance will be displayed after the Bank balance.
    • There is a 15 minutes wait before you can perform another transaction with the Galactic Reserve.

User Interface

  • Holding delete/backspace/arrow keys/home/end now works properly in text fields.

Combat

  • A pass was made on many melee weapon sounds.
  • This means many of the melee weapons will now be using custom sounds rather than the default swing.

Misc

  • Yavin IV Whisper Bird lair names should no longer show as code string.
  • The pirate trap abilities can no longer be used on asteroids
  • The Sorosuub Ion Mesh Projection shield should now get valid values when looted
  • Added new counter badges for players that have accumulated more than 300 badges.
