Friday Update: Crew Skills Game Systems Page

Alyson Bridge just posted today’s Friday Update, which, as anticipated as a follow to last week’s EA Winter Showcase reveals, is a brand new Game Systems page: Crew Skills!

Crew Skills are a unique approach to a crafting system, built to suit the tastes of a broad range of players and to maximize your time spent adventuring and experiencing your character’s story while still earning useful benefits. Put your companions to work and get the most out of the galaxy’s myriad opportunities!

This is a long-awaited update for many community members, and continues BioWare’s push into revealing more about TOR’s game systems. If you’re into non-combat aspects of the game, this is a must-read!

Head on over to the official site and check it out!

  1. Has anyone else noticed the lack of QQing? o.O

    • Yup. It’s actually refreshing.

      I thought the community would just complain about anything (myself included!)

      But this just goes to show that when actual game info is presented, coupled with actual followup information from an actual developer… and the system is good… then the people respond accordingly :)

  2. I can’t explain how glad I am that this information has been met with real discussion and little whining. The forums were getting really bogged down – but good reveals then good follow-up as Lethality said lead to a overall positive environment in forum land.

    I’m also really excited to try out these systems, they do seem innovative and as someone that can’t commit 80 hours per week to the game, I love the idea I can send my minions out while I’m at work!

  3. ScreamAndRoar says:

    I’m no crafter and I like this system, especially with the non crafting options.

    There is a little grumbling from the bitter SWG vets looking to recreate their halcyon days as “well known best crafter on the server” or wanting to level up solely through crafting.

    I only see one drawback with the system. You might feel the need to log on all your alts and send their crews to do stuff before going to bed :)

  4. I think this system is going to be really amazing.Before you enter a flashpoint send your companions out and about to do their thing.
