Sneak Preview: Star Wars Galaxies Chapter 7
During SOE Fan Faire 2007, Star Wars Galaxies gave a sneak preview of the latest installment in the game. In the preview they gave details on a new mode of play, a new way of collecting items, an all new origin system, new quests, new rewards… a lot of new stuff is what they got so if you’re a resident of the Galaxy that is Star Wars you are in for a great ride.
First up is the all new Heroic Encounter system where players who aren’t challenged with the run of the mill enemies they come across can find something more of their suiting. Players in groups can go to a specific zone where they can “take on challenging foes in epic battles like no other.” Here they previewed Axkva Min who a group of eight can only get through after fighting bosses one after another before facing with Min herself.
The new collection system will be improving on badge collection. Instead of just collecting badges, players can collect “kills” of specific creatures and other various items. Once players have completed a collection they can redeem this for rewards.
Chapter 7 will also feature an Origins system where players will get a chance to immerse themselves even further into their RPG role. Players will be writing their own histories, their own stories within the galaxies and this will lead to bonuses or even a new ability depending on their origin of choice.
Star Wars Galaxies Chapter 7 is slated to be released next month. Here’s some screenshots and concept art to keep you sated till then:
