Is SWG LEGENDS: BESPIN Worth Visiting? | Napyet Reviews

[@swglegends7625]

Thanks for spending your weekend with us, Nap! We always appreciate the feedback and we hope as more hotfixes get pushed out, we can really polish here and squash bugs there. Bespin is still being actively worked on, but we’re glad and always thankful for the wonderful community and their support. All of us here are over the moon to finally be able to bring SWG to new heights!

Could Legends Senate etc, re-consider updated Alpha Class Jedi & BH Please? New balanced mechanics, Grand Master Crafted / Hard to find / Quest, Saber and Carbine etc. Soon as CL 90 master Jedi equips such weapon Max group 2 ( Master and Apprentice ) with slightly better 'Alpha' stats. Same for BH but with ranged weapon like Carbine ? Soon as "master Saber / Carbine' not equiped, back to normal full grouping allowed? Hard to Program, Could it work? Thanks Awsome job on BESPIN greatly appreciated :)

[@swglegends7625]

@@Bobo56Bear Those definitely sound like cool ideas! It’s so tricky whenever we approach the classes themselves. The balance in the game is a serious tightrope that you have so many passionate players on many sides that have good ideas, but it’s not always feasible and inevitable bumps in the road or other wrenches show up in the plan. If you haven’t already though, definitely reach out to the Senate for guidance on how you can get the wheels in motion. There’s so many awesome ideas that come through the senate that truly help the game. The senate program itself as a whole is something we’re most proud of on Legends.

Great job legends team on the bespin content and expansion! It's so nice to not only be able to play my favorite game in the world, but to also look forward to the huuuuuuge projects and in depth content you guys put out. Thanks for keeping the galaxy far far away alive and well!

[@erichbennett7539]

this looks like jump to lightspeed i think

[@masonvorxtor3223]

Thank the Force they decided to just open it up to everyone. You're right, Bespin in GORGEOUS! Bespin is my favorite SW world of all time and would love to live there, in spite of the fact that I have a fear of heights!

[@EnigmaticPenguin]

The weekend stream was a lot of fun! It was a real treat experiencing new SWG expansion content with a group of people after 15 years. I think your criticisms of the content are completely fair, and that doesn't detract from the fact that a group of fans put together an expansion that fits in seemlessly with that was officially released. Bespin is awesome and we're so fortunate to have such a great Dev team. ~Martokk

3:16 To be more specific for those who are interested in this part of the game, you definitely do not need to run Hoth to gain access to Bespin. It has starports and shuttles like most of the planets in the game so you can fly there with any character using either of these methods. However, there’s 1 Imperial theme park quest line and 1 Rebel quest line in particular. Those 2 things do require running through Hoth. I think you just need to participate in all 3 phases not necessarily win them, but I haven’t tested that yet. There are other PVE and PVP activities for combat characters as well as little crafting and performing quests for traders and entertainers respectively. There are also several clickie collection items to find throughout the city to unlock badges, deco, and item schematics.

[@masterhypnos6783]

You also don’t need to be level 90 to access Hoth. It helps (as does having end-game gear), but all you need is to be ground level 70 or a master pilot to access Hoth.

[@oneforestonegaming350]

@@masterhypnos6783 would you happen to have a link to all the additional clicky "quests" or collections? Cant find anything online for a list of all the new collections

AAAAA YOU CAUGHT ME ON YA CAMERA

[@Lord-Nevahlus]

This is something else! I started my own Jedi character a few days ago and I'm leaning towards making him a Dark Jedi. Bespin looks so good!

[@jacob3721]

Favourite SWG streamer!

[@howdlej123]

I don't agree with putting NPCs in Mos Eisley to direct people to the main quest but I would say if you can access bespin at any time then I agree it should be an obvious NPC somewhere near where you enter bespin.

[@Hellview_LN]

More people need to know how good and innovative swg is and was I really wish it would be officially put back online, it’s better then any mmo made past 2010 I started in 2004 and never quit and it changed the way I gamed forever, I always compare everything to swg

[@thatsketchyprofessor9575]

It is fantastic. I haven't stopped playing. However. THAT could be good. As we as be really really bad for us at the same time if that ever happened. The loot shooter players and instant gratification chasers aren't here mucking the community up demanding their hands held. Plus the wiki is fantastic for information. Most games nowadays have a strong wiki community keeping information up to date.

[@Limp_Bizkiteer]

Welcome back!

[@thrawn2034]

I look forward to seeing a full guide to Bespin.

[@davidportnoy3237]

I've never done hoth and I can go to bespin.

[@ashwinnmyburgh9364]

I am an absolute noob still, what the heck is a "heroic"? when do I get to them? they look fun.

[@Hellview_LN]

The beauty about swg is meeting people a true mmo, I think you’re very retrofitted to the newer training wheels style mmo, in swg you need to meet people that’s the point of the game

[@mansurusordo1]

took an 87 into Hoth, you only need to get the badge at the Rebel base.. Rebels zone in and run to the speeders, your good to go. Imps need to make it to the base.

[@Bob-jw4ox]

Does this mean you have to belong to a faction? I want to take my crafter to Bespin and get the jewelry set I need to keep up w/the Joneses.

[@masterhypnos6783]

@@Bob-jw4ox You only need to run through Hoth to do the 2 factional combat quest lines. Your trader can go straight to Bespin, go in the trader guild hall (should be a POI waypoint), and start doing the crafting mini-quests to start earning the kinds of Tibanna Gas you need for the jewelry. Each complete trader jewelry set costs 3750 Mixed Tibanna Gas and 25 Refined Tibanna Gas.

@@masterhypnos6783 A Big Thank You, Sir!

[@weezerwookie]

alright, my officer Baral made it into your video lol

[@jacob3721]

Hey Nap, I've been searching your channel for a Beastmaster guide, I'm sure if you made one; me and all of these other SWG folks would benefit from your take! =)

[@Rogue615]

how do I fix my ship? I just started playin this since 20 years ago and I keep getting killed by troopers and my ship needs repaired lol I suck

[@N1ghtR1der666]

yeah they should probably put a travel route to bespin and have an NPC near the landing

[@beltalowdacrew2221]

I dont get it, i've done everything from ILM and shaders etc, and my game still doesnt look as good as yours 😭🤣 what did i misss

[@JayRee93]

Cool

[@Vatik-SWG]

Almost 4 years ago. Doesn't seem like it.

[@Bobo56Bear]

BESPIN awsome, Can you do similar review of RESTO 3, please? 😎 “Blue-frog" in Mos-E cantina is handing out fully levelled Prof's and Weapon's to test out builds only until May 27th :) Including the amazing Pre-Cu / CU JEDI, that will be a lot of game time to unlock starting May 28th planned launch, includes "Blue-Glowie" on death 1hr etc. amazing ! Hope legends 'Bench-marks' that game and Jedi PVP mechanic’s. 🐻

[@Reginald-Erasmus]

raiding is a mechanic that SWG does not have mmm

[@xara531]

Thanks for the info, made up my mind to not try it out if I have to raid just to visit it, sad.

[@KnightPoetic]

I quit, won't return, and working to develop what I want to see in the SWG gaming engine.

[@karlholder5746]

SWG Legends. First let me say that this game is so big, that it is possible that I just don't know some things, but... GOOD: they have updated the graphics in a lot of ways and taken care of many of the bugs that plagued the live server. They have developed original content. BAD: The new content is frustrating. There is no privateer path through the new content. The new houses in Bespin start at 25 million. Bespin is designed to be the Beverly Hills of SWG, and that is blatantly uncool. Bespin also completely departs from the style and standards of SWG, blowing up the scale of the city and removing all contrasting colors, making a big bland orange landscape that has a ton of performance problems. Again, if you want to do anything 'new' you must be a declared combatant and you must complete the Hoth heroic instance. So much for your Vigo, right? There is no path for privateers, even though Bespin was a privateer city. SPACE: Also- they have made many, many changes to space and have blown the balance and function of the entire JTL expansion out of the water. They have introduced new ships that are only available to guilders that utterly overpower all PVE content. They have introduced new tiers of hardware that have further destroyed the balance. They have introduced new firing visuals for weapons that are performance nightmares. Space Battle performance is abysmal. Much of the time it is a slide show. It is also not instanced so it blows the performance of the whole sector. All of the new space gear is only available to those who are lucky enough to participate in space raids. Good luck if you are on your own, all of the good drops are on lvl7 enemies and higher. If you can't do high difficulty pirate raids, you aren't getting anything. Recently I started getting a ton of level 1 and 2 gear from tier 5 gunboats and corvettes. I'm not kidding. CRAFTING: they have introduced a lot of new items from Bespin that are not included in the traditional crafting trees and that render crafted things utterly worthless. There are robo-looters everywhere that also make all collectibles pretty much worthless. Senior players have flooded the market with cheap and *perfect* crafted items. There are billionaires on this server. Making money as a trader on this server is a big challenge. Oddly it mirrors our real world. I am playing with my wife and we have made the trader class our primary for decades- and we have walked away from it. We use our crafters for our own needs and don't bother trying to compete with the Bespin crowd. It is pointless. Make money grinding. Slowly. SUMMARY: I love what they have done here. I love the stability. I love the frame rate. I do not like the 'new content' because it is not balanced, it steps all over the crafters, and it is unattainable for un-guilded or undeclared players. Which leads me to comment that the user community here is NOT what it was on live. I have been here for a long, long time and not once has another player spoken a word to me. I have five level 90 characters and an ace of aces who run around unguilded all day, and no one has spoken a word to me. I've had no luck with Discord either. Honestly, this part is pretty depressing and frustrating. I miss the inclusive party atmosphere of the live server. Something has been lost. And it is not for lack of players, there are a lot of players around. I think. SO many bots.

[@Erduk]

I haven't been on Legends long, but I've grinded up to CL 80 or so. I too have had minimal player interactions. It definitely feels like a solo experience.

[@captbiddy160]

So many secrets! The game really opened up when i found out about Katarn Armour, I keep finding more and more stuff the game tells you nothing about. I love it!

[@fu6817]

non-soloable? raid as prequisite? No thanks.
