Publish Gift

We have a new publish feature that will be starting with publish 27. Publish gifts will be given out to everyone for the duration of the publish to make each publish more special. For this first round of gifts, we have a Nickel Plated Launcher Pistol and a Concentrated Bacta Tank.

Heavy Weapons

Heavy Weapons are coming back to SWG! As the masters of Heavy Weapons, all Heavy Weapons are Commando only with the exception of the launcher pistol and the light flame thrower.

The Acid Rifle and Launcher Pistol, and rocket launcher have a new type of targeting called "Location Targeting". Location Targeting is basically a big aiming target (or reticle) that will appear on the ground. Once the aiming reticle is on the ground, you can use your mouse to move the reticle around on the ground. Once you find your targets you fire the weapons and launch a ruthless attack on all of your opponents in an area.

Profession: Jedi

All of the Jedi profession enhancements are also included in this publish - - Jedi Mind Tricks, Sweeps (a new class of 360 degree strikes), Jedi Focus and Stance Buffs and a variety of other new abilities
