Star Wars Galaxies: Game Update 5.4

Publish Notes, August 19, 2008

Beast Master: Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game: Champions of the Force:
 * Added the ability for beasts to sit and lie down, when you use the /pet command on them and they have the available animation.
 * Added the eat emote to beasts when they eat food. Some beasts may not have the eat animation, but many will animate when they eat.
 * Unpacking a house no longer unpacks its stuffed beasts to the wrong location.
 * Happiness buff now increases/decreases damage on a beast by -25% to 25%.
 * Movement for beasts that get hung up on walls, corners, etc should cause the beast to teleport to its master, if it is not in combat. This should resolve getting hung up in POBs.
 * Loyalty should not be reduced, if a beast dies to a player (PvP).
 * The Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game has started the first round of closed beta.
 * The game is accessed by selecting "Card Game" in the game menu or by typing /tcg in the command line. These commands are visible to all players, but only registered Fan Faire attendees can access the game.

This phase of closed beta is for Fan Faire attendees only. Beginning on Thursday, August 21, the most active Test Center players will also gain access to the beta. If you are part of this group, you will be informed of your access status via in-game email on Thursday, August 21, after 12:00 PM CDT.

Rewards for the early adopters of the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game range from the Rebel or Imperial Life Support Flight Suit (your choice of one per account/non-tradeable) and other awesome items that can all be claimed in the Star Wars Galaxies game. (Please note that the Flight Suit can only be claimed in the Star Wars Galaxies MMO, not the Trading Card Game.)
