Gloria Victis developers have been working on a “massive gameplay overhaul” for a few weeks now, and today’s website update says that alpha players will soon see the fruits of said labor.
The fantasy sandbox’s inventory and guild systems have been “entirely reworked,” as has a more user-friend UI for NPC shops. Crafting is going under the microscope, too, and Black Eye Games name drops a certain late great sci-fi sandbox at the end of today’s announcement.
“And last but not least, development of our crafting system led us to the point when the current mechanics became too restrictive for us. After long discussions we have decided to revamp it, although ‘revolution’ would probably be a better word. Star Wars Galaxies’ fans – stay tuned!”

Why is every upcoming game and its dog trying to invoke SWG? How many of these features even relate to how SWG did that particular thing? Not looking at anyone in particular, H1Z1…
SWG, inspiring MMOers for generations.

Indeed. Those SWG lenses get a bit more rose-tinted with each passing year.

Blinded? No. Put off by a really lackluster buggy launch that took quite a while to right itself. Yes.
blackcat7k Of course you don’t. You were blinded by Blizzard’s MMO… now go back to play it.
You know what? I don’t remember all this love for Star Wars Galaxies when it was around for the amount of times people keep trying to prop its dead corpse up as inspiration.
Smed started this trend with his H1Z1 blurb blunder.
The only reason I like all this blatant SWG named dropping lately is the attention could lead to a proper sequel.
