"Spooky" Showcase Winner!

 

I'm pleased to announce Solaria, Rori was one of the locations officially chosen for the Haunted Galactic Showcase.  What does that mean?  As the image above reads, we were part of the Friday Feature section for October 22, 2010.

For those of you with emo Anakin patience issues, here's all you need to see if you're here for Solaria...

Haunted Galactic Showcase

Solaria City Hall

Location: Solaria, Rori (city hall)
Nearest SP: Rebel Outpost
Server: Starsider
Proprietor: Mayor Jivaro Qel-Jairus
In Solaria, Rori I try to keep citizens and visitors interested in the city by decorating City Hall for the major holidays. Making it spooky for the Galactic Moon Festival had received a lot of positive feedback, and I hope people enjoy it this year too.

This Death Trooper armor guards the entrance to the mayor's office. Notice the rotting stomach in the background and an appropriate warning sign to ward off the squeamish.

One of the usual city hall attractions is the "city in a city" display which the fog machine is engulfing. A carved pumpkin is resting on a house in the background and a Tusken raider is sporting some biological flair.

A krayt skeleton is trying to scale the wall while skulls and carved pumpkins watch. The two outfits are costumes from a fan film I starred in called "To the Moon and Back."

Neither heroes nor villains are safe from my decorating, hence the Jan-Go-Lantern and the big brain on Mace.

This is me posing in one of the more mundane scenes; a skeleton in front of a painting of Z'ozpheratu.

I must have gotten too close to the decorations. I ended up stuck in my own web.

It seems an afflicted version of me is trying to destroy City Hall. Hopefully his dexterity had been severely hampered but... uh-oh. Little help, GMs?

It's an honor to make it so far as a city, and I hope all the citizens are as happy as I am.  I have a good time decorating each holiday and I'll have more pics to come.

It's Hip to be T Square(d)

 In case you don't know, Teesquared (or T2 as most people text him).  I even got to hang out with him recently at a recent Nomad Market event.  See?

He was exceptionally kind, and didn't even mind my Corellian attempts at humor.  Maybe my reputation preceded me - but that would be egotistical to say.

Anyway...

The point is Teesquared was featured in a great interview for Massively entitled Squaring off with SWG's producer, Teesquared.  The two page feature originally posted on October 5th not only talks about stuff like the new GCW setup, Trading Card Game teases, and the revamped rare loot system but also explains how committed SWG is for 2011 (and a certain article tells me SWG will be around longer than many assume) - including subjects such as the Galactic Moon Festival, Wookiee Life Day, and also alluding to a Nightsister [themepark] revamp: The Witches of Dathomir.  Oh yeah - one other thing...  Player-designed instances?  :)

Galactic Moon Festival (Friday Feature)

Friday Feature – The Galactic Moon Festival Returns! - 10/15/2010

When the crypt goes creak and the tombstones outside the cantina quake, you'll know it's time for the Galactic Moon Festival! Beginning October 21st, adventurous and strong souls can take a shuttle to Moenia and Mos Eisley to celebrate the return of the Galactic Moon Festival... if they dare!

Galactic Moon Festival

In an effort to gain more support from the planets Naboo and Tatooine, Jabba the Hutt has decided to throw the annual Galactic Moon Festival once more so everyone can celebrate the horrifyingly awesome haunts of the season. Jabba has grown tired of all the love festivals, celebrations of life, and other saccharine events. Thus, it is my duty to report to you that he has taken it upon himself to throw the scariest festival of the year!

In order to participate in what is sure to be the ghoulest happening this year, all that citizens have to do is visit the Galactic Moon Festival Organizers who can be found outside of the Moenia and Mos Eisley Starport (waypoints 4790 -4777 and 3523 -4806 respectively).

Here, citizens can obtain a costume to use for trick or treating, purchase special Galactic Moon Festival items, the ability to craft new items, and find out more about the festival.

(more information - and possible spoilers - after the jump)

New addition(s) to Solaria

This is breaking news (in fact, I am inside the SWG browser posting this).

What's new in Solaria? At least two things.

In case you didn't know, there is already a Heroics reset terminal for anyone to use inside city hall.  All you have to do is click it if you ran instances, and it will clear all instances you ran. It can be used basically once a day for any person.

The newest of the new are the anniversary terminals. Namely the bazaar and space terminals. Both are in front of the shuttleport facing south. Shuttle into Solaria, Rori and you'll be staring right at these crowding the Solaria Spotlight Citizen statue. (When will the next be awarded? Shine your light and perhaps I'll see it.)

So what can you do with these new terminals? The bazaar terminal works similar to any other in a static city. The only difference is you cannot post items to sell there. You can search all the bazaars and vendors in the galaxy and even make waypoints to the vendors, however.  The space terminal lets people examine their ships and change out parts, but they cannot launch or travel with it.

Stay tuned to find out what's to come. Hopefully there will be much to celebrate this Moon Festival holiday.

Get Ready for the GMF!(?)

The GMF is the Galactic Moon Festival.  According to lore, Jabba likes to lavish the galaxy with fun once a year (or to show off his riches).  I'll post something OFFICIAL about that but for now, I wanted you all to start getting ready.

I try to do something for city hall and the cloning facility each holiday.  Things already started inside city hall.  See?

That's just a teaser to what's already inside.  There are decorations in each room of city hall for the Moon Fest - and more to come.

If you have your own decorating for the occasion, send your pics:  jivaro (@) bigfoot [sorry but need to keep the spammers down].

I'll keep the decorations up as long as the event goes, and I shall be wearing my own spooky attire.  If anyone wants to hold an event inside Solaria, just let me know so you can get storyteller zoning.

More news on the event to come...

Death in the Family

 I'm sad to give news of the passing of Tuage (C'B).  He was not only a friend of mine but a former guildie and past citizen of Solaria.

 From Facebook:

at 1pm Michael took his last breath. He is now an angel looking down on all of us. No more pain or suffering. Please keep his daughter and the rest of his family in your prayers and thoughts as the healing process begins.

 He was a great guy and always tried to stay in contact with his friends from the past.  Even when he was in a different guild and city, he still tried to help me out as well as any of his former guildies or citizens.  Often he would make me say hi to different people, and I'd carry out messenger duties since a lot of people had different

The memorial for C'b/Tuage will be held on Monday, October 4th at 7PM CST/8PM EST on Venri Island, Corellia (Starsider galaxy).  Waypoint is -5420 -6238.
We ask all that attend to be "On Leave" and of course, please no Bounty Hunting (please be respectful).  Please do not drop banners or activate Colonel buffs during this time to keep down on lag and distractions.
HERO will start with opening words and then we will open it to anyone else that would like to say something about C'b/Tuage.

You may leave comments here or at the link below.  Even if you didn't know him well (or not even at all), any words from the community would be more than welcome.

Let the Fishing Rumpus Start!

What is a positive to all the swamps of Solaria?  Well, fishing of course.  Small as the puddle may seem, most every puddle in Solaria supports fish.  Perhaps it's because they actually connect deeper below the surface and lead to the greater water body of water which borders Solaria in the south.

Why should you care?

Fishing has been revamped with leaderboards and even "elusive" fish to catch on most of the planets.  Below is the whole writeup.  Citizens and guilds can also garner credit for exemplary fishing, so take a look...

Fishing Leaderboard

The Fishing Leaderboard is a new in-game feature that keeps track of the leading individual, guild, and city anglers across each galaxy. It displays the ranks, lists the leaders' names, and the total length of the best fish caught for each leader.

• Individual Leaders: The total length of the best 10 non-collection fish caught during the period are used to determine the angler's Fishing Leaderboard score.
• Guild/City Leaders: The total length of the best 25 non-collection fish caught during the period by the members/citizens of the guild/city are used to determine the guild/city Fishing Leaderboard score.

The Fishing Leaderboard scoring period is weekly and starts/ends every Thursday at 19:00:00 GMT / 11:00:00 PST / 12:00:00 PDT (same time as the GCW rank and Leaderboard update). At the end of the period, the winners are determined and the list (along with all the scores) is reset to start a new period.

Accessing the Information
To view the Fishing Leaderboard, simply trigger any fishing pole.

The Fishing Leaderboard section in the Hobbies tab of the Collections window and displays a count of how many times the angler has made the Fishing Leaderboard winners' list. It also displays how many times the angler was listed in the leaderboard as a guild member/citizen of a guild/city that made the list.
The Fishing Leaderboard section in the Badges tab of the Collections window displays badges the angler has earned from the Fishing Leaderboard. Badges are granted for winning 1st place, and for making the Fishing Leaderboard winners list one time, five times, 10 times, 15 times... etc.

Cities and Guilds
In order to contribute to the guild/city Fishing Leaderboard score, the angler must have been eligible (i.e. did not just recently join the guild/city) for the period for which the guild/city made the Fishing Leaderboard winners list. They must also have caught a non-collection fish during the period (even if that non-collection fish does not end up contributing to the guild/city winning score), in order to qualify to receive credit for being a guild member/citizen of a guild/city that made the Fishing Leaderboard winners list.

Anglers joining a guild/city in between periods will not contribute to the guild/city Fishing Leaderboard until the start of the next Fishing Leaderboard period.

The guilds and cities in the most recent winners list will be given access to one guild/city travel point. The guild/city travel point privilege is revoked if the guild/city does not make the next winners list. To reiterate, the guild/city travel point privilege is only available to the guilds and cities in the most recent winners list.

Messaging and Notices
Whenever the positions on the Fishing Leaderboard for the current period changes, a message is sent to the chat, guild chat, and/or the city chat for the angler, guild members, and/or citizens of a city to notify everyone of the change.

An in-game mail will also be sent to the winning anglers, guild leaders, and city mayors when a Fishing Leaderboard period ends, and when the winners are determined.

Fishing Record

The Fishing Record displays the type of fish caught, the planet on which it was caught, the length of the fish, the name of the angler (person who caught it), as well as the location, time and the bait used.

For each galaxy, best length fish is tracked for each of the 70 non-collection fish (7 fish types x 10 planets). The angler who catches a non-collection fish whose length is greater than or equal to the current record will become the new record holder. Personal best is also tracked for each angler for each of the 70 non-collection fish.

Use any fishing pole to view the galaxy best, the angler's personal best, and the personal best of another targeted angler.

A record fish will be renamed to designate it as a record fish, and it's examine window will contain additional record fish information that shows, the galaxy, location, and bait used. Also, the examine window displays the angler who caught the fish and the time the fish was caught.

A "Record Data" radial menu is available on any non-collection fish that will display the galaxy best and the angler's personal best information for that particular fish type.

NPC Record Holders
All 70 fishing records are currently held by various NPCs. The current record length and which NPC currently holds which record are different for each galaxy. These NPCs are actually quite avid anglers who have recently come out of the closet to reveal their ...errr...ummm... ichthyologic tendencies, so it will take some effort to best their records. The angler that becomes the new record holder will get a Comm Message from the NPC who originally held that particular record, who will have a thing or two to say to the new record holder.

There are more NPCs than fishing records, so some NPCs will not be record holders on some galaxies. So if Darth Vader is not a record holder on your galaxy, you'll just have to go fishing on a galaxy where Vader is a record holder if you want to receive message from the angling Dark Lord.

Titles, Badges, and Collections

Titles:
Titles (70 available) are granted to the current record holder. When there is a new record holder, the title will be removed from the current record holder and granted to the new record holder.

Badges:
Badges (70 available) are granted for catching a record fish. Badges are also granted for catching 1, 5, 10, 15..., 100 record fish.

The Fishing Leaderboard section in the Badges tab of the Collections window displays badges the angler has earned for being a guild member/citizen of a guild/city that made the Fishing Leaderboard winners list.

Badges are granted for being a guild member/citizen of a guild/city that won 1st place, and for being a guild member/citizen one time, five times, 10 times, 15 times... etc of a guild/city that made the Fishing Leaderboard winners list.

Collections:
A collection under the Fishing Record section in the Hobbies tab of the Collections window displays the count of record fish caught by the angler.

Seven collections (one for each fish type), with server first and a badge as reward, under the Fishing Record section in the Hobbies tab of the Collections window are available for catching a record fish of the particular type on all 10 planets.

10 collections (one for each planet), with server first and a badge as reward, under the Fishing Record section in the Hobbies tab of the Collections window are available for catching a record fish for all the seven types on the particular planet.

The ELUSIVE Fish

Tales abound of the one that always manages to get away. Are there any truths to these stories, or are they just overactive imagings after too many rounds of Valarian Brandy?
There are only 70 ELUSIVE fish (one for each of the 70 non-collection fish types) for each galaxy. The odds of successfully landing an ELUSIVE fish are much, much, much greater than that of successfully navigating an asteroid field, even if Han doesn't want to hear it.

Badges (70 available) are granted for catching an ELUSIVE fish.

To view the ELUSIVE fish list, use any fishing pole.

An ELUSIVE fish will be renamed to designate it as an ELUSIVE fish. For example, "a faa" may be changed to "the ELUSIVE Tatooine faa".

The Development Team reserves the right to revisit the "only 70 ELUSIVE fish per galaxy" rule once any galaxy has caught all its 70 ELUSIVE fish. Good luck with such a feat/challenge/accomplishment though.

Elusive Fish List
For each time that the very lucky angler appears on the ELUSIVE fish list, as long as the angler has logged in within the past 90 days, one travel point will be granted to the angler's current guild and city for each time that the angler appears on the ELUSIVE fish list. This is a permanent perk. Guild/City travel point update occurs at galaxy restart and at the end of the leaderboard period every Thursday at 19:00:00 GMT / 11:00:00 PST / 12:00:00 PDT, so the perk will not be applied immediately when the angler catches an ELUSIVE fish, but will be applied at the next guild/city travel point update. If the angler leaves/joins a guild/city, the perk will be removed/applied at the next guild/city travel point update. The perk will not transfer with the angler with CTS. The angler must get on the ELUSIVE fish list of the destination galaxy in order to receive the perk.

Solaria has city waypoints!

Here is the official announcement from Game Update 17.6 (even though a tad late).

City Waypoint Registry

• The mayor can upload waypoint to the city waypoint registry from the waypoint's radial menu.
• Citizens can download waypoint from the city waypoint registry into the datapad.
• Launch the city waypoint registry window using the "City Waypoints..." button in the waypoint window, or with /cityWaypoints.
• The city waypoint registry can hold 25 waypoints. 

There are at least three current waypoints in the current city registry.   If you have vendors in your city or a public house you want to show off, contact me in game with the waypoint attached, and I'll see what I can do about adding it to the city registry.  The spots may even end up on this blog.

On that note, anyone who is interested in living in Solaria (or even parking nearby) can contact me through in-game mail to discuss possibilities.  We are also open to people wanting a city to hold an event.  Remember, the Harvest Festival is coming up soon.

SWG TCG: Retro Scenario Replay

Since this is FREE and ties to loot for your house, I try to remind people about the monthly look scenarios.  If you need help learning the card game, be sure to contact me.  An example of the loot item is in City Hall presently. 
(Remember: the scenario grants a loot card and trading card the first time it is beaten - and an additional trading card for each other archetype the scenario is defeated with -  totaling one loot card and four trading cards in all).

Amazing fanfilm (in 3-D)

Strap on those glasses, because that image proves I'm not lying.

Whip out those old-school 3D glasses (with the red and blue) if you want to be astounded.  This is the story of that jettisoned shipment which Jabba was so upset about- taking place before Episode 4 (A New Hope).

"This is the winner of "Best Animation" from the Star Wars Fan Film Movie Challenge, sponsored by Lucasfilm."

The Solo Adventures 3D from Daniel L Smith on Vimeo.


Just in case you don't have the glasses, the regular version is below.  But I assure you, the 3D really works and is very cool.  The crawl comes right off the screen.

Want this painting?

This is the item in question; obtained from the TCG (SWG "Trading Card Game").

Card Number: 3SWGP3

This painting is a reward for completing the Mad Zoo TCG scenario from Thursday, August 26, 2010, through Thursday, September 30, 2010.

The first time it's beaten, you get the loot card and a wamprat card from the game.  For each archetype you win with (Rebel, Sith, Imperial, Jedi), an additional wamprat card is obtained...making a total of four wamprats and one Hoth poster.

Remember it's just until the 30th of September.  I'll be glad to try helping teach the game if you contact me.  And in case you did not know...  All SWG accounts have a free tie-in to the card game.  And each account "in good standing" (meaning paid up) receive 5 free packs of cards each month.  

May the Force be with loot you!

Citizens I'd like to have

Don't get me wrong...  I enjoy Solaria's citizens VERY much.

But wouldn't these people give the city just that much more flavor?  At least those who behave inside city limits.

Star Tours 2 (irl - sort of)

For all of you who remember Star Tours, it's coming back in a big way if you haven't heard..

Funny enough, there has been a Star Tours: Solaria chronicle floating around.  If you'd like to try it out, just contact me.

For now...enjoy this teaser video.

New Structure (Kashyyyk Tree House)

(not actual structure)

In case you weren't aware, there was a brief anniversary gift which ended up being a schematic for the Kashyyyk Tree House.

The coolest part about it is the fact it makes a very cool decoration even if you keep it as a schematic. Structures 1 can craft it, but it has some specialized materials. Take a look...

(click to make image larger)

By the way... That image you see is what the schem looks like when you get it. I used mine as decor in city hall (If you've seen Solaria's "city in a city" display).

The structure is 2 lots and 200 storage but has a footprint which is almost the same of a Mustafar Bunker. Off the top of my head I think its footprint is 6x7.

Its design inside is almost like a loft. There is a ground-level floor and a ramp to the side going to an open upstairs area. No windows, no basement.

Special thanks to Salaryn's Star Wars Galaxies Blog for the crafting screen.

Happy Remembrance Day Season!

The city of Solaria, Rori wishes everyone a bright and festive Remembrance Day.

What is Remembrance Day?  For me, it should resemble the picture above.  Here's a short snippet about it though...

"Remembrance Day was a holiday celebrated by the members of the Rebel Alliance in the tradition of the Old Republic's Republic Day. It was held at the same time as the Imperial Empire Day."

It's a good time to reflect on those who have fallen in past years as well as giving each of us a time to individually reflect upon where we each want to be...whether as a person or where we stand in the Galactic Civil War.

No word on a plan for a mayor-sponsored party yet, but I have my eyes set on one before the Moon Festival (as slang goes).

Welcome to Solaria 2.0!

 

Today was spent giving this blog a makeover; thanks to some new options for design layout.  I know it's been a long time coming...and hopefully you like what I've done to it.  The blog that is, not the speeder above.

The tour...

Bigger, wider layout.  And a giant header image.  Bam!  Hope it's not too big for you all...but I'll crop it a bit if so.  (I'm always looking for more pics and vids of the city.  I'll feature you and give credit if you send some.)  The margins are much wider for easier reading also.

New color scheme and background.  I went with a "nature" type of format with a window design, giving a subtle portal to Solaria (the rounded window look of posts).  The open header and lack of divider gives it more of a spacious look: just as I think Solaria is.  Wider images even break out; rather than being imprisoned with by cropping, as the old layout did.

News: bigger and better.  On the right side are related RSS feeds.  They are for SWG, its related card game (TCG), and Station news.  I might reconfigure it a bit further, but it's a good way to see what's happening in the game world without having to visit the SWG site or go into the launcher.  In addition, there is a GFA feed - the five most resent posts from the public threads.

Reconfigured ShoutBox.  The layout is a bit wider and colored a tad closer to the blog.  Anyone can use it to give a shout out to others or voice opinions.

Easter Eggs.  Here's a hint - highlight color.

Enjoy the update and post your mind.

City Decor - trackback story

This is a pic of some storyteller decorating done in the city.  If you'd like to try your hand at decorating Solaria, contact me here or in-game to make a request.  Your screenies can be a future post (with credit and a link).
