Text of the page (random words):
canon but g canon and t canon were supreme the best and most popular example of c canon would be timothy zahn s thrawn trilogy first book in the thrawn trilogy the thrawn trilogy felt just like the movies epic story with our favorite heroes from the original trilogy and the introduction of new characters like mara jade and grand admiral thrawn it takes place after return of the jedi so it did not contradict anything from the movies while the thrawn trilogy was a great addition to star wars not all materials were up to the same caliber with most of the eu materials coming after the movies many new fans who wanted to get into the eu were discouraged by the required reading to get up to speed with the latest star wars books and comics as already mentioned before contradictions in materials became inevitable as well the expanded universe was cherished by those of us fans that religiously read each book comic and played the games but it certainly was not perfect and clear the new canon the first major event leading up to the new canon would be disney s acquisition of lucasfilm in 2012 in addition to acquiring lucasfilm disney stated that it would be planning episode vii star wars fans including myself were ecstatic that we d see star wars return to the big screen the question among the eu fans was what would happen to the eu materials particularly those following return of the jedi the answer to that question came in the form of a blog post on the official star wars website and video titled the star wars expanded universe past present and future on april 25th 2014 i ll summarize the main points all movies prequel and original trilogy are canon along with the clone wars movie and tv series any of the previous eu material is not canon anymore it will be branded as legends instead books and comics would have the legends banner heir to the empire with legends banner in the blog post post return of the jedi material was not declared to be canon in order to allow freedom in storytelling for the new trilogy of star wars movies starting with episode vii the first works in the new canon will be john jackson miller s a new dawn and the star wars rebels tv series both have been released as of this blog post anything released including books comics and games will be canon certain elements from the eu could become canon but it wouldn t make that original eu work canon the lucasfilm story group see the video for more details will review each star wars work and ensure it aligns with the new continuity while it is clearly stated that the post return of the jedi eu material is not valid many fans of knights of the old republic 1 2 and star wars the old republic clung onto the hope that these games could become canon the old republic era is thousands of years prior to the movies and has little chance to contradict any new canon material is swtor canon ever since this new canon announcement i have heard countless debates on podcasts and fan sites analyzing whether swtor is canon for myself and others i thought it was rather clear cut any prior star wars material besides the movies and tv series was not canon so swtor was not canon others felt that since it was not directly announced as not being canon and that the lucasfilm story group was credited in the latest expansion that swtor could be canon or at least partially canon swtor s setting thousands of years prior to the movies does minimize any contradictions this past weekend the star wars celebration anaheim one big story star wars canon panel finally gave us swtor players a definitive answer pablo hidalgo and leeland chee members of the lucasfilm story group answers a few questions pertaining to swtor one big story panel lucasfilm story group here are the pertinent quotes regarding authentic versus canon and the other pertaining to swtor expansions timeline hidalgo we talk about canon and we talk about authenticity there are certain experiences that are tailor made to exist in our world i would recommend the reader to look through the full live blog to get the context star tours was the original context but the concepts mentioned here are interesting i want to bring up the point that the lucasfilm story group does review all star wars content for authenticity does it feel like star wars but that does not mean it is canon star tours is authentic but not canon are the old republic expansions canon no bioware has created their own universe that is so fantastic we re not going to change it says hidalgo the question only states expansions but clearly swtor is not canon first definitive answer when are you going to explore the old republic part of the timeline it s definitely not off the table chee since swtor is in the old republic era and there are no plans yet for canon material swtor will not be directly contradicting canon at least swtor according to the lucasfilm story group is authentic but not canon the story group does enjoy the content from bioware and certainly reviews the future updates for authenticity they will not change anything as long as it does not contradict the new canon for us players i don t think this will change anything the story may not be part of the new canon but it is still the star wars we know and love thanks for reading please let me know your thoughts this entry was posted in uncategorized and tagged canon lucasfilm story group on april 19 2015 by r2d2arm swtor content cadence leave a reply while i did not get around to publishing an article about the gree i thought about sharing a spreadsheet i ve developed after the question was posed by some of my twitter friends talionbot and heather_pls about the timing between expansions and what constituted an expansion to bioware austin i meticulously went through all of the information located on the official swtor site s game updates and patch notes pages after recording the name of the major game update ignoring the minor ones which usually were fixes and not content related and the date they went live i made a simple formula for calculating the time until next update you can view my google spreadsheet here game update notes the first year before 2 0 had updates that were released at irregular intervals i can only assume this is due to the craziness of launching the studio s first mmo there were probably assets developed for content that wasn t ready at launch and required more work for a future game update from 2 0 to 3 0 the update intervals tended to be 8 to 9 weeks and more consistent with the addition of new systems such as galactic starfighter and galactic strongholds this is quite impressive although we only have one new content update past 3 0 it appears that the update intervals are getting longer up to 11 weeks for tentative release of 3 2 for major expansions 1 0 to 2 0 was approximately 1 year and 4 months while 2 0 to 3 0 was 1 year and 8 months while the length between major expansions is increasing it should be noted that digital expansions were released during the 2 0 to 3 0 era at this pace i expect 1 expansion at the end of this year or early next year more realistic operation notes i was not able to discern any relevant patterns or a regular cadence for operation updates when looking strictly at the introduction of new operations the 1 0 and 2 0 ops tended to be released at half year intervals 3 0 operations ravagers and temple of sacrifice however were released more than a year after the last 2 0 operations dread fortress and palace this gap in operations content is alarming flashpoint notes again no consistent cadence for flashpoint updates during 1 0 only 2 fp updates were given kaon under siege and lost island the game did launch with 15 fps so i feel this is expected with the bigger focus on filling the lack of endgame content between lost island and the level 55 hms there was almost a year of no new fp content starting in 2 6 with the introduction of tacticals fps were delivered at quicker intervals and there wasn t a large gap since the year gap noted above it is rather clear there is a bigger effort to deliver fps first at the tactical level and later the corresponding hms pvp notes i have only recorded the major content updates not any of the seasons introduction of ranked there are only 4 updates of note novare coast ancient hypergate arenas and quesh huttball the length of time between updates varied but it is on average greater than the operations or fp updates there were two times where 200 days passed before a major pvp update was released most people in tune with pvp already knew that pvp is not a focus for bioware and the timeline of updates does point to this unfortunately while not recorded it has been almost a year since the last pvp update please let me know if i made any errors on the spreadsheet i intend to keep this updated for future swtor updates if you have any other insights into the data please post a comment i made this spreadsheet to give all of us players some insight into content updates bioware austin has certainly been working hard to give us new content in swtor and i m not intending to bash them by using this data this entry was posted in uncategorized on march 21 2015 by r2d2arm the guard dilemma 7 replies introduction as promised in my previous post the next topic i will discuss will be about who to place your guard on in swtor unlike previous mmos i played where i was melee dps i chose to go with the guardian tank as my first and only character yes i like to focus on one character for the first two years of the game i did not participate in operations until late 2013 with my current guild pillars of ashla first i will talk about the mechanics behind guard it is always important to understand the basics yajard in battlemaster pvp armor guard mechanics the guard ability is available to all tanking advanced classes ac in swtor it requires the use of the ac s tank stance in order to be available as an ability a tank applies guard to a player or companion by clicking on that character and toggling on guard here s the tool tip for the guard ability guard tool tip important notes from the guard tool tip activation range 30 meters for activating not an issue if you place guard before a fight damage reduction 5 less damage for the guarded player doesn t matter how far away the player is from you many beginner tanks feel that the damage reduction is tied to the 15 meter pvp range but this is wrong threat reduction 25 less threat for the guarded player again doesn t matter how far away the player is from you pvp range and redirected damage during pvp if the guarded player is within a 15 meter range 50 of the player s incoming damage from enemy players will be transferred to the tank guarding them note that in pvp the 5 damage reduction also applies to the player being guarded no matter the distance from the tank stance requirement as previously mentioned the tank must be in his tank stance for jedi guardians this is soresu form a guarded player or companion in this case will have only one buff if guarded and within the 15 meter range for pvp redirected damage guard protection info buff if the guarded player or companion is outside of the 15 meter range two buffs will be shown instead one is the same shown above but there s also another seen below out of range for pvp redirected damage this out of range buff is only applicable for pvp redirected damage note that the tank is indeed outside the 15 meter range which is the limit as indicated on the guard tool tip as far as i know there doesn t appear to be a pve limit to the 5 damage reduction and 25 threat reduction buffs from guard as long as the tank and the guarded player are on the same instance of either a planet flashpoint or operation the passive benefits of guard will still apply no matter the range the choice of who to guard now that the basics are out of the way i will go into detail on how i choose who to guard there are obvious guard mechanics that favor certain choices over others but i also inject some subjectivity into my choice since guard acts differently between pve and pvp i will split the discussion into those two categories pve guarding in pve group content flashpoints and operations the tank s role is to maintain threat and take the majority of the damage while i won t go into detail regarding threat mechanics healers in general will generate less threat per damage healed than either the tank or dps tanks get multiple threat modifiers from their stance abilities with additional threat and taunts dps will generate threat mainly by their damage on a 1 1 basis 1 damage 1 threat since threat generation increases for those closer to a mob if ranged and melee dps are roughly equivalent melee dps will most likely have higher threat if i find a good consolidated guide regarding threat generation mechanics i will include it here please let me know if you know of one guard will give a player both 5 damage reduction and 25 less threat generation the 25 threat reduction is extremely valuable in pve content and should be the primary basis for choosing who to guard a proper tank should be able to maintain threat on a boss but dps in particular can sometimes steal aggro guard will help with this thus always pick dps over healers for guard i admit that when i first started this game and was new to tanking that i placed guard on my healer in flashpoints i quickly learned that is not the right choice so far i ve placed dps as the only group members that should be guarded to further narrow down my choices i take into consideration the class and armor type of each dps character i prefer to guard melee over ranged due to threat mechanics in addition i consider the armor class of each dps character while armor class does not account for other forms of mitigation it does give a sense of the survivability of dps the 5 damage reduction on a guarded player is not much but it is useful to have here s a priority guard list that i use based on class if a player is stealing aggro on a consistent basis i will adjust as needed pve guard list from higher to lower priority republic classes all dps spec jedi sentinels melee dps medium armor and personal experience have sentinels at the top jedi shadows melee dps and light armor scoundrels melee dps and medium armor i just don t see them a lot so i put them lower on the list guardians melee dps and heavy armor vanguards melee dps and heavy armor sages light armor but ranged so lower on the list in aoe situations i may switch guard to a sage gunslingers ranged dps and medium armor commandos ranged dps and heavy armor with my analytical approach having established key guidelines the rest of the decision on who to guard becomes subjective there are a few personal parameters that i consider totally subjective and sometimes silly i only employ these subjective guidelines when i m looking at roughly equivalent dps such as 2 sentinels subjective guidelines respect i value respect a lot...
