Drop Ship Lifestyle Review

Anyone thinking about starting a business dropshipping online have likely come across Anton Kraly’s advertisements for his Drop Ship Lifestyle course. This course claims it’ll provide you with all the knowledge and training you’ll need to set up and run your dropshipping business; it’s also supposed to teach you how to expand your venture once successful.

Now, don’t expect me to sell you the course as a wonder, and I’m not affiliated to him in any way. You’ll learn about what it actually offers, and why it’s actually not what you want for your business.

It’s worth noting that Anton has seemingly started his marketing campaign all over again with full power, and this has included a new DSL version. Another interesting addition is an even more convoluted refunds policy, so expect even more troubles if you want to get a refund.

Reviewing the course

There are many resources online that can help you understand the business model a lot better. However, as a basic introduction, dropshipping is a business approach in which you sell products without having to purchase them to build a stock.

It removes the need for initial inventory investment, storing it somewhere, and hoping that you can sell them to earn a profit or at least get your money back.

Brick and mortar stores had been the norm until sales ventured into the internet through eCommerce sites. Still, owners still bought the products from a supplier, receive them, and offer them for a slightly higher price either on their websites or on their stores.

However, dropshipping bypasses the first and second steps by letting you list any product from any supplier at the moment. You only need to purchase the item once a customer places an order. Then, you contact your supplier, buy the product, and have it shipped to your customer’s address.

That way, if you don’t sell any of your items, you’re not risking or losing any money. You only lose the minutes you used to post the products, so you can even change your offers any time until you find a product that you can sell efficiently.

Who is Anton Kraly?

Anton says he’s another guy who was stuck in a regular job with the usual dead end back in the USA, and he chose to go to SE Asia. He went to experience the “digital nomad” lifestyle, so he decided to start a business.

He claims he was then introduced to the dropshipping business model thanks to a friend, so he started to create his own stores via online platforms like Shopify, which let him create his business within a few hours at most.

He then spent several years selling his dropshipping products successfully, and after that, he thought about creating his DSL course so that he could share what he knows with the rest of the world.

From then on, it appears a lot of affiliates got on board, so the course started growing a lot. Today, DSL is among the most recommended online programs for learning how to dropship on your own.

Our objective here is that you find out whether or not that’s actually true or just what the affiliates sell for a profit.

Among the most influential promoters behind the DSL course is Johnny FD. He’s a fellow digital nomad living in Chang Mai, and he constantly claims that this course was the inspiration that took him to creating his own business online; that’s why he dedicates himself to promote the course via the AntonMethod, an affiliate page he uses for that purpose.

Johnny says he made around $3,000 monthly thanks to his dropshipping business selling sun beds and massage tables, but he sold the business not too long ago for a bit over $60,000.

Do note that Johnny also has a course himself, and it’s called “Drop Ship Lab”. However, the course has been inactive for a really long time, so it’s safe to say it’s dead by now.

Why is it popular among reviews?

DSL came out almost 8 years ago, back in 2012. From the get-go, it sported an affiliate marketing program for different marketers to profit from promoting it.

These people would earn up to 50% of the course’s price for each referral. Back then, the entry price was almost a fourth part of what it costs now: $250, so that means each referral would net you $125; it’s a dream come true, even more so for people just starting.

People following John Chow and others who make $2,000 for each commission won’t be as surprised, especially today, but this was a huge deal back then.

Naturally, the course attracted countless affiliates who wanted to promote it through Clickbank from 2012’s December all the way to November 2014; most people didn’t even know whether or not the course was any good.

It showed on the different reviews made for the course. Virtually all of them were just promoting the same images available on the course’s sales page.

However, it has mostly died out until the recent release and seeming revamp of the course. Most reviews available on the internet are from before 2016, but many may start appearing with its revival.

Of course, Affiliates competed to get on the first results in Google searches, and they even headed over to YouTube and any channels that could get them the audience. Even CPA sites like Flexoffers brokered this offer to myriads of affiliates looking to build their links and handle all the traffic they could get.

As such, Anton ended up having a huge amount of people taking the course, and it got to the point that he claimed to be a multi-millionaire by the start of 2015. Of course, he said that it was from dropshipping, but once you multiply the course’s price by the course’s students count (over 2,500), it’s easy to determine what took him there.

At this moment, something really shady happens: Anton just got rid of all the affiliate marketers who had promoted his course and netted him the new members. In less than a day, the entire affiliate program vanished without any kind of warning, paying all pending commissions.

After doing this, he installed a new rule for people wanting to promote it: they had to pay and be a member if they wanted to promote it.

In other words, the course turned completely into an MLM business like Wealthy Affiliate or MOBE. Just look for any product available online and its reviews; odds are you’ll see that the writer rated it poorly and compared it to one of those two (or another) courses.

Of course, it’s not as big as other names, but it’s still an MLM network with an (at least) shady past.

When you pay for a subscription and become a DSL member, you can freely promote that course. That’s more enticing than it seems. Let’s say you paid $2,000 for it; that would mean that you just need to get 2 more people to sign up.

Now, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with this approach. It’s a legitimate business practice, and it’s really efficient. However, it does provide you with an idea of how the course became so famous and filled with positive reviews, so don’t just assume it’s because of its quality.

Finally, note that getting refunds with MLM businesses is a real challenge. You need to read every single line on all contracts since most offer you a 30-day guarantee before asking you to follow annoying steps just to prove that you didn’t really benefit from it. Often times, the steps could even cost you or be impossible for some people.

What you really get

This course has grown a lot since it was first released, and it’s now on version 7.0, which was updated back in April of this year (2019). While it has changed quite a bit, and it’s certainly larger, the course is still presented like it was during its release: WordPress website with the Optimizepress add-on.

What did change a lot is the price. It was $250 back when it was release, or you could pay $2,997 for the ultimate offer, complete with a store already done for you. If you don’t really die over the main components, you can pay $1,997 for the first iteration of this course.

Back in January 2017, the lowest plan was priced at $997, so you can see it almost quadrupled. Furthermore, as of this article’s writing, the premium plan costs $2,997; the ultimate, done-for-you offer has reached the $4,997 mark.

What feels wrong with this is that most updates are just design changes, a few more videos, and some corrections. It’s not enough (in my opinion) to warrant such a high increase. Don’t take these numbers as give, either; the price is always changing, so if you read this in a few months, it’ll probably be higher.

Back in the 4th version of this course, the course split into 4 different plans. However, the 5th version then removed the basic plan, or at least it merged both the basic and premium plans together, so today, the cheapest plan is $2,997.

However, for the sake of keeping you in context, let’s go through the 3 plans as originally planned. That’ll help you have an idea of what was offered before compared to what is offered right now.

Basic plan

The basic plan started out at $250 during its release, and it was maintained for a few years. However, the last price tag it had was $997 right before it was merged into the premium plan. Version 4.0 had recreated videos, but the content overall was always the same, so it started feeling outdated quickly.

The content was mostly basic: the type of videos you could find online. However, the basic plan did include the entire video course, and it covered almost everything: from explaining the business model to finding your suppliers and growing your business. The problem was mostly whether or not the information was actually good.

The most recent videos added do include more modern concepts like Adwords and an entire design class for eCommerce not available until the 4th version.

Anton advises students to keep organic search away and instead just go to Google Adwords. That means pretty much just to forget about SEOn your website. That’s really a bad idea since you’re giving up free traffic, and using Adwords is also a fairly expensive method, especially for some niches like clothing and electronics.

You also got a custom theme for Shopify with the basic plan, and you could use it to create a store in minutes. The problem with this theme is that there are thousands of people taking the course, and all of them have access to this theme, so you’d risk your store looking too similar to your competition.

Besides, Google ranks duplicate websites lower, and the same is true for most search algorithms.

Premium plan

This subscription come with everything that the basic package included and a few additions. It used to cost $497, and it offered users 55 advanced modules for training as well as access to both the DSLabs and private apps, software and a supplier directory.

The DSLabs is a section with checklists, scripts for supplier contact, and some standard operation procedures ready for you. There’s also an app for Shopify; it automates several processes for your business, but it isn’t the best app available for that purpose.

This plan repeats the same problem as the template from the basic plan (which is also included here). The scripts are the same that thousands of businesses are getting as well, so you’ll just follow the herd if you decide to use them as is.

The best you can do is just call the supplier and request to speak with someone who can make business with you. Emailing is something everyone can do, but you want to show initiative and that you can “get things done”.

The directory does stand out; it’s surprising thanks to the large amount of suppliers you get. However, you can pay for a service like Salehoo to get thousands of suppliers anywhere around the world. Always remember that everyone taking this course will surely hit the same suppliers for business.

Salehoo is just $65, and it has more suppliers and details on each.

Since this plan already had everything from the basic plan, the team decided to just merge the two. As I’m writing this, this plan is the cheapest option, yet it costs $2,997.

Done for you plan

The last package started out at $2,997, and it was the most exclusive and expensive offer on the course. The fact that now the most accessible option has that same price could put a lot of people off.

This package has the DSL team setting up the website so that you don’t have to. You’re then able to use the free time for learning the content and growing your business without any distractions.

Aside from the website, it also offers 2 hours for you to call Anton directly and get coaching. You also get 2 exclusive tickets for a DSL yearly retreat that’s held in either Vietnam, Laos, or Thailand.

Thailand is the most common destination, and the retreats gather different nomads from anywhere around the globe for networking and sharing in general.

I didn’t pay for this package, so I can’t really tell you a lot about it. However, people signing up for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd versions of this course got their retreat tickets every year for a lot less (sever thousands).

You should try to hit Anton with an email, but you can definitely go to that retreat without paying the package’s price. It’s actually a bit unfair for some people, and I can understand that.

DSL version 5

The 5th version of the course is one of the most important changes it’s gotten since its release. For starters, it removed the basic plan and merged it with the premium package to make a single offer; however, it’s just removing the basic subscription since the premium already had everything from it.

It added a new module regarding a USA business setup if you’re overseas, which was actually a pretty good addition. It also raised the asking price to $1,997 for the package ($1,000 cheaper than today).

This version also emphasized the MLM aspect of the course. Even more so, the page where you sign up for the course doesn’t show any prices until about the 3rd sales video starts.

During the videos, the course promises a solid refunds policy with the 30-day guarantee, but you must read every detail carefully, for this is a catchy statement. All conditions are fairly reasonable, but you need to prove you completed the program before you ask for a refund. You won’t get it if you can’t show that.

The problem is how this is a contradiction to its 30-day guarantee.

The guarantee says that you get access to all the content without risks, and you can try all the content. You can email support if you aren’t satisfied within the first month, proving you’re completing tasks but not seeing results. The refund is 100% of what you paid.

It also says that you must only join if your intention is to complete the tasks since that’s necessary for getting the results advertised. If a refund is requested, you need to prove you’ve completed these tasks.

As you can see, the guarantee says that you can take the entire course for free, and you can cancel your subscription at any time as long as you can show you’ve been working on it and achieving the tasks.

There’s zero mentions on having to finish the complete course before you ask for a reason, so you’re left to guess which of the two conditions are worth following. Do note that taking the entire course may take you more than 30 days, so you can see how sketchy the whole policy is.

Reasons not to buy it

Now you know pretty much everything you can learn about the course itself and what you receive after signing up. You may have formed your own conclusions regarding if you want it or not, but let me explain why you should not buy the course before you make the final call.

Price

As with similar courses on similar topics, the price really goes beyond the content and value it actually offers. While it started off somewhat OK at $250 for the basic plan, the constant increases with each version took it far off from what it should actually cost, especially with so many resources available online for much less or for free.

So, no. This course isn’t worth more than what it asked at first, and it’s definitely not worth $2,997.

If you want to build a business on dropshipping, you want to take the time to analyze all the costs. Anton says you need hard work before you have a successful eCommerce and become rich; you need to invest your money if you want to make it.

Anton said his business started with just $29 before making him $1.8 million, but there are costs involved with building your site, hosting, marketing, etc. If you don’t know how to do something (and there’s always stuff you won’t know), then you can add hiring other people to that, and that’s a few thousands extra.

If you add this course’s price to all the investment you must make, then you’ll quickly inflate your budget, and it’ll reach unnecessarily high levels. Sellers definitely inflated the price thanks to its popularity, and it’s understandable.

However, the content and quality of the course itself hasn’t grown with its cost.

Shopify exclusive

This course assumes you’re going to build your store with Shopify. In fact, Anton has affiliates links to the platform, and he’ll make money from every purchase from his links. Additionally, the only training available on store building is for Shopify, so you’ll have to get extra knowledge from different sources if you want to use another platform.

Another problem behind that is the fact that Shopify can be quite expensive for a lot of people, especially for newcomers.

Hosting on Shopify costs about $300 every year. If you want a larger business, then you also want to invest on the standard plan for $79 each month, which makes it to about $900 every year. Add a transaction fee for every sale that can go up to 2% and the costs for additional apps you integrate into your store.

Outside from the fundamentals, the free templates on Shopify aren’t the best available, and most people will be using them. That means you want to get a premium theme as well or hire a developer. Getting a theme can add up to $100-200 more.

You can see how the exclusiveness is an issue. You’re paying for an overpriced the course that focuses only on methods requiring you spend more money.

Niche content

The knowledge offered on finding a niche for your business is just mediocre, and even free resources like YouTube videos and articles give you more depth and value. In fact, most negatives reviews for the DSL course will gravitate around this issue.

One of the most important steps to setting up your business is to know what you want to sell, and choosing a bad niche will kill your business from the first day. You want to take your time studying the market and find a niche that’s not oversaturated or already take by a giant like Amazon.

The only consolation is that Anton offers to validate your niche for you before you start your venture. The problem is that even this can be sketchy depending on how you look at it: it may be help, or you may give him a great idea, so he could easily tell you not to do it and keep the niche for himself.

Lack of SEO

As we already mentioned when describing the content in the course, Anton doesn’t endorse organic traffic on search engines, so you can forget about any knowledge regarding SEO and the like.

Anton often says that it simply takes too long to get sales if you take your time on SEO, and that’s why he recommends you go straight for Adwords. While it could make sense for some, it’s yet another hefty expense for many entrepreneurs.

Now, let’s paint a picture.

You just paid $2,997 for the course and $79 for your website. Well, you also need to spend around $500 on Google advertising. Now, a lot of people can do it, and many actually do, but there are people who will take the course just to realize that their venture is way out of their reach.

The sales video won’t state the costs for the methods taught by this course, and chances are you’re only going to find that out once you finished the course and started putting the lessons into practice.

Anton tries to lessen the pain by offering coupons and some training modules on the platform, but this approach is still difficult, and anyone without experience will probably just burn their budget quickly and get no sales or even leads.

Anton only teaches you about what worked for his business, and it seems SEO isn’t one of them, so you’re left to figure out if you’re as lucky as he was.

Other members joined for less

This is another issue I already mentioned: most people you see in the students’ community subscribed to it earlier and for a lot less than you. Since the course started getting upgraded, they stated that everyone who paid first would have free access to all versions. Anton set the price to $497 before version 3 closed so that he could have more money for developing the 4th version.

That means that all members got the content for $1,000 less than you (at least, remember it started out at $250). They also have free tickets for the retreat that would cost you almost $5,000.

This isn’t just paying more than others; it means you’re severely handicapped. Why?

First, your competitors started off with lower expenses, but that’s just the start. Remember that the content doesn’t really get updated with each version besides some design and retakes. The knowledge offered today is roughly the same available when it was released.

Think about the templates and directories again; other people got them years before you, so they’re probably saturated already. You won’t really get good results by using them.

As such, keep in mind that most people who have taken the course are probably inactive. They’ve either reached success and left the community, or they just bombed or realized dropshipping wasn’t the gold mine they expected.

Non-US students

Until nearly 3 years ago, the course didn’t offer any knowledge for people wanting to settle an overseas business or outside the country. It lacked nothing on the legal side of things and taxes, so students had to go to another source if they had doubts on these.

If you’re not from the US, then you need to qualify as a type of USA entity before working with dropshippers there. If you want to do the same with European dropshippers, then you want to be registered as a business or trader there with a VAT.

Anton simply skipped the overall legal side of things for US or European supplier, likely because of how popular is AliExpress. You can register in Delaware or Wyoming, but that would lead to an entirely new article.

Luckily, Anton decided to add a brief course on this matter starting 2017. It still isn’t the best you can get, and you’ll likely need other resources, but at least it’s there.

Is dropshipping a good business?

That’s a tricky answer depending on whom you ask. Dropshipping isn’t the same gold mine it was almost 10 years ago when people started getting into it, and Amazon wasn’t as huge as it is right now.

However, now it’s really hard to compete with the prices at Amazon, and you have to spend a lot of time and research to find a niche that you can take advantage of over Amazon. Just make sure to keep track of Best Buy or Walmart.

Most suppliers will also prefer to work with Amazon than smaller independent businesses like dropshippers. They can actually guarantee the sales suppliers want.

With the dozens of courses like DSL, hundreds of dropshipper now want to start the same business with the same niches, products, and suppliers –all at the same price.

Making money with dropshipping requires that you set your business apart from the rest; that’s how you can really make money with this model. The issue is how that means going against half the advice available with Drop Ship Lifestyle.

You need to find products and suppliers no one else knows, and that means forgetting about all directories, scripts and themes available in DSL.

So, to answer the question, you can make money from dropshipping, but you need to know how to do so in the right way.

Better resources for your money

If you’re not looking for just a community but to build a prosperous business, then you should look at the following options. For the price of a basic DSL plan, you can buy all of the following and still have something to spare.

eCom Elites

This is easily the best course available for people looking to dropship. You have more than 175 videos, adding up to around 40 hours covering the model, selecting products, marketing, and everything related.

I’ve seen many courses, and promoting a $2,000+ course would get me more money, but I’d rather recommend value, and eCom Elites gives you all you need for just $197. If you wanted the community, you have access to the private Facebook group and weekly videos.

If you’re looking for good information and training to do thigs yourself, then eCom Elites is the best choice, and you don’t even have to empty your bank account.

eCom Turbo (theme)

As I said before, the free Shopify templates aren’t the best you can get, and thousands are probably already using them.

Most people complaining about not getting sales despite the visitors is simply the esthetics of their business and zero mobile responsiveness. While it may look great on desktop, most sales will come from smartphone users.

eCom Turbo takes care of everything you expect from a theme and more. Visitors won’t have to scroll at all to know what they’re going to buy since all the details show above the fold.

You can also personalize this theme to fit any taste. You don’t have to spend hundreds and hours looking for a theme that goes with what you want since you can transform eCom Turbo any way you wish, and it’s just $97 for lifetime access to its updates.

Salehoo

Salehoo is a supplier directory for dropshippers and wholesale contacts. It’s been available for more than 10 years, and its reputation speaks for itself.

Salehoo gives you access to more than 10,000 different resources spread amongst many countries, including the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand and Europe, so you don’t have to look too hard to find the one that suits you best.

WooCommerce or Shopify

Finally, you need a platform for your website, and these two are the best options

WooCommerce is best for people with experience regarding WordPress and website hosting since it’s completely free. It comes from the folks at WooThemes, and you can customize this add-on however you want. If you want even more options, there are premium plugins for less than $15 on ThemeForest.

The only issue with WooCommerce is that you need to pay for your hosting separately.

Shopify is another choice for people with a bit more money at hand. The cheapest plan is $29, but as I said, you probably want to go for the $79 standard subscription. Besides the initial fee, make sure to take a look at the price structure since your sales volume will change according to it.

Final Verdict

Is It Worth It? Final Verdict

DSL is definitely a promising course, but the cost is simply too high. Besides its initial cost, it only covers the most expensive approaches like Shopify along with Adwords.

By going for the options below, you can start your business on the right foot for less than $1,000, and you can use the extra $2,000 for those Adwords if you want, which will be paired with a solid SEO for organic traffic.

I hope you found this review useful and if you have any questions, please comment down below. I’ll be more than happy to assist you.

Once again, thanks for reading my Dropship Lifestyle Review and I wish you the best of luck.

Drop Ship Lifestyle Review

Reviewing the course

It removes the need for initial inventory investment, storing it somewhere, and hoping that you can sell them to earn a profit or at least get your money back.

Who is Anton Kraly?

He then spent several years selling his dropshipping products successfully, and after that, he thought about creating his DSL course so that he could share what he knows with the rest of the world.

From then on, it appears a lot of affiliates got on board, so the course started growing a lot. Today, DSL is among the most recommended online programs for learning how to dropship on your own.

Our objective here is that you find out whether or not that’s actually true or just what the affiliates sell for a profit.

Johnny says he made around $3,000 monthly thanks to his dropshipping business selling sun beds and massage tables, but he sold the business not too long ago for a bit over $60,000.

Do note that Johnny also has a course himself, and it’s called “Drop Ship Lab”. However, the course has been inactive for a really long time, so it’s safe to say it’s dead by now.

Why is it popular among reviews?

DSL came out almost 8 years ago, back in 2012. From the get-go, it sported an affiliate marketing program for different marketers to profit from promoting it.

People following John Chow and others who make $2,000 for each commission won’t be as surprised, especially today, but this was a huge deal back then.

It showed on the different reviews made for the course. Virtually all of them were just promoting the same images available on the course’s sales page.

However, it has mostly died out until the recent release and seeming revamp of the course. Most reviews available on the internet are from before 2016, but many may start appearing with its revival.

After doing this, he installed a new rule for people wanting to promote it: they had to pay and be a member if they wanted to promote it.

Of course, it’s not as big as other names, but it’s still an MLM network with an (at least) shady past.

What you really get

Basic plan

The most recent videos added do include more modern concepts like Adwords and an entire design class for eCommerce not available until the 4th version.

Besides, Google ranks duplicate websites lower, and the same is true for most search algorithms.

Premium plan

Salehoo is just $65, and it has more suppliers and details on each.

Since this plan already had everything from the basic plan, the team decided to just merge the two. As I’m writing this, this plan is the cheapest option, yet it costs $2,997.

Done for you plan

This package has the DSL team setting up the website so that you don’t have to. You’re then able to use the free time for learning the content and growing your business without any distractions.

Thailand is the most common destination, and the retreats gather different nomads from anywhere around the globe for networking and sharing in general.

You should try to hit Anton with an email, but you can definitely go to that retreat without paying the package’s price. It’s actually a bit unfair for some people, and I can understand that.

DSL version 5

This version also emphasized the MLM aspect of the course. Even more so, the page where you sign up for the course doesn’t show any prices until about the 3rd sales video starts.

The problem is how this is a contradiction to its 30-day guarantee.

Reasons not to buy it

Price

So, no. This course isn’t worth more than what it asked at first, and it’s definitely not worth $2,997.

However, the content and quality of the course itself hasn’t grown with its cost.

Shopify exclusive

Another problem behind that is the fact that Shopify can be quite expensive for a lot of people, especially for newcomers.

You can see how the exclusiveness is an issue. You’re paying for an overpriced the course that focuses only on methods requiring you spend more money.

Niche content

Lack of SEO

As we already mentioned when describing the content in the course, Anton doesn’t endorse organic traffic on search engines, so you can forget about any knowledge regarding SEO and the like.

Now, let’s paint a picture.

Anton only teaches you about what worked for his business, and it seems SEO isn’t one of them, so you’re left to figure out if you’re as lucky as he was.

Other members joined for less

That means that all members got the content for $1,000 less than you (at least, remember it started out at $250). They also have free tickets for the retreat that would cost you almost $5,000.

This isn’t just paying more than others; it means you’re severely handicapped. Why?

Think about the templates and directories again; other people got them years before you, so they’re probably saturated already. You won’t really get good results by using them.

Non-US students

Luckily, Anton decided to add a brief course on this matter starting 2017. It still isn’t the best you can get, and you’ll likely need other resources, but at least it’s there.

Is dropshipping a good business?

Most suppliers will also prefer to work with Amazon than smaller independent businesses like dropshippers. They can actually guarantee the sales suppliers want.

With the dozens of courses like DSL, hundreds of dropshipper now want to start the same business with the same niches, products, and suppliers –all at the same price.

You need to find products and suppliers no one else knows, and that means forgetting about all directories, scripts and themes available in DSL.

So, to answer the question, you can make money from dropshipping, but you need to know how to do so in the right way.

Better resources for your money

eCom Elites

If you’re looking for good information and training to do thigs yourself, then eCom Elites is the best choice, and you don’t even have to empty your bank account.

eCom Turbo (theme)

As I said before, the free Shopify templates aren’t the best you can get, and thousands are probably already using them.

eCom Turbo takes care of everything you expect from a theme and more. Visitors won’t have to scroll at all to know what they’re going to buy since all the details show above the fold.

Salehoo

Salehoo is a supplier directory for dropshippers and wholesale contacts. It’s been available for more than 10 years, and its reputation speaks for itself.

WooCommerce or Shopify

Finally, you need a platform for your website, and these two are the best options

The only issue with WooCommerce is that you need to pay for your hosting separately.

Final Verdict

Is It Worth It? Final Verdict

DSL is definitely a promising course, but the cost is simply too high. Besides its initial cost, it only covers the most expensive approaches like Shopify along with Adwords.

I hope you found this review useful and if you have any questions, please comment down below. I’ll be more than happy to assist you.

Once again, thanks for reading my Dropship Lifestyle Review and I wish you the best of luck.

Devblog #1

Audio Blog #1

Hello and welcome to the first ever devblog for Spacial Delivery, a quirky game about delivering packages in space in the quickest time and without damaging the company car (that's coming out of your pay if you put a scratch on the company property!) The goal of the game is to collect all the packages in space using your rocket-powered-delivery-van and bring them to their destination planet in the shortest ammount of time possible! Your overall score at the end of each level is determined based on your time, the damage you’ve taken, and the number of optional packages you’ve picked up and delivered. As of writing this blog (April 20, 2019) this game is fifteen weeks in development. It’s been a wild ride for us over at Half and Half Studios and we hope you’ll join us as we talk about one of the most important aspects of creating a game: Sound.

Not many people thing of sound as vital when it comes to games, but sound can make or break the feel of a game. We wanted our sound, both sound effects and music, to match the aesthetic and feel of our game.

Firstly, we worked on the sound effects for our game. It was decided that whacky-goofy sound effects were perfect for this game instead of gritty, realistic sounds. We feel that this choice perfectly matches the bright-pastel and low-poly look of the game. After the decision, it was only a matter of going online and finding royalty-free sound effects to download. All the files had to first be downloaded as MP3 files, then converted to WAV files to avoid any legal issues with the final product. For the time being, this was acceptable as there were more pressing matters in the development cycle to pursue. We accepted the possibility that these sounds could be placeholder and changed at a later date, we weren't married to them at all.

When we came back to focusing on sound, we realized that we had a major discrepancy in the overall quality of the sounds. Some sounded high-resolution and clear, while some sounded incredibly compressed and crunchy. From there we decided that when it came to sound design, the whole game would adopt the crunchier more arcade-y style of sound effects; our reasoning being that it is almost-impossible to take a low-resolution sound effect and make it higher resolution, as certain parts of the sound are lost during the compression and cannot be brought back without fully re-recording the sound ourselves. It would, instead, be easier to bring the quality and resolution of all our sounds down to the lowest common denomination of our sound, and then bringing it down even further!

Two people of our four-person team were focused on making all existing sound effects extremely compressed. One person was using Pro Tools while the other used Audacity. The developer using Pro Tools first tried to change the sound from a 64-bit uncompressed version to an 8-bit uncompressed WAV file. The experiment was a mild success, with the sound effects having a noticeable dip in quality that the team desired; however, it wasn’t enough to completely satisfy the goal of having arcade-y sound effects. The Pro tools user then tried experimenting with stretching out the sound effects then compressing them back to their original length. This caused some audio fidelity to be lost in the process after repeating this process over and over again. The end results are very promising and are satisfying the request for low-resolution sound effects. The Audacity user achieved the same goal of creating crunchier sound effects by first changing the bitrate to 8000hz, exporting as a WAV file, and then changing the compression of that WAV file to uncompressed 8bit. After careful consideration, the team has made the decision to use the method that the Audacity sound designer was using as it is easier, cheaper, safer, and has actual steps that anyone can follow, instead of just randomly compressing and stretching the sound effects like the Pro Tools user was doing.

As for the music of the game, we had less of a clear vision when it came to what type of music our game should play. Seeing as none of the team members were focused on composing, we decided to reach out to freelance composers offering their skills. A mutual friend of one of the team members answered the call and agreed to make a few tracks for our game. His end-results were a series of five songs, each about a minute long and fully loop-able. The style of the songs he made were created in the style of sci-fi 8-bit chiptune-y, heavily influenced by the soundtrack of FTL: Faster Than Light. These tracks were satisfactory to the team and we put them in. It was later that we decided to add a different style to go along with (and contrast) the calmer music we already had. Our new vision for the music was two-fold: lull the player into a false sense of security with the calmer music that plays on the title screen and menus and then hitting them with more intense music during actual gameplay. The style of the “intense music” was inspired by synth-heavy Eurobeat music, commonly associated with the 1998 anime Initial D as well as the Drum and Bass style of music. The other two sound designers were in charge of creating music for the game. One focused on the calmer portions of the music, creating minute-long loops while the other made Drum and Bass music and imitated the Eurobeat style excellently.

Overall, the sound design of the game is proceeding at a great pace; all sound designers know their tasks and are steadily progressing towards their goals astoundingly. Within the next few weeks, I predict that the game’s sound will be completed and satisfactory for all parties.

Week of Otome, Day 7: Free to Play vs Pay to Play

In my experience, whether a game is free or you have to pay for it isn’t always an indication of quality, as is true with any medium or genre. Some games can be the most beautiful quality product you have ever seen and it’s free for everyone to play, but isn’t very well known or popular, and there are some things you pay a higher price for that everyone’s heard of that turns out to be not so great in the end.

I think this more of a tips and tricks page than an actual comparison between the two because of the reasoning above. Perhaps more of pros and cons of both types, if you will.

So, let’s get on with it.

Pay to Play (PC, Console, Mobile, etc)

Pay to Plays are games that, well, you pay to play the game. For PC and console games in particular, Pay to Play usually means making a one time purchase and the game is yours to play at your leisure. Paid games tend to have games that are fully voiced, a higher CG count, a fuller music soundtrack, longer routes and a fuller story and plot. It’s like there’s a certain amount of polish that goes into paid games. Not to say free games can’t be polished, but you expect something like that when you’re paying real money for a product, especially when the amount is a lot.

Certain games that are pay to play are also able to be played across multiple platforms. From memory, I know Hakuoki has been redone on multiple platforms, the original Fleeting Blossom being available on PSP, DS, 3Ds, PS2, PS3, and I believe iOS and Android releases? The remake versions (Kyoto Winds and Edo Blossoms) both have PSVita releases and Steam releases, as well as upcoming Switch release coming in Japan later this year, so we English speakers may see it some time in the future? Code: Realize’s original game has a PSVita and now a PS4 release accompanied with it’s first fandisk, with also a Switch release coming in Japan later this year (so maybe also a Switch release for the West at some point? Maybe? Please?)

------------------

Free to Play (PC)

These tend to be done by smaller companies or indie groups that depend on the support of their fans to get their work out there. Because the work is being done being done by fewer people, some quality is expected to sacrificed when compared to their paid peers. Free to Play tends to have fewer CGs, no voice track or partially voiced, and tends be only on one system.

However, in spite of those considerably small hurdles, if put in the right hands, even with minimal amount of tools and resources, something beautiful can come from it.

It’s also obligatory to also mention to support your favorite companies if you want them to continue to prosper. If you can’t support them financially, at least get the word out about how awesome these games and the people behind them are.

So, as for me, I’ll give a shoutout to:

Michaela Laws (Creator of Seduce Me the Otome) with her website and itch.io page

dicesuki's tumblr (Team behind Cinderella Phenomenon)

And SweetChiel’s (Creator of Nusantara: Legend of the Winged Ones) itch.io page

--------------

Free to Play (Mobile)

I felt I needed to add this category separate from the Free to Play PC games as I feel there are some elements that are different between the two that need mentioning.

Free to Play PC otomes tend to have a complete narrative when you play the game. Just the story and that’s it.

Mobile Otomes, however, have a little something more to put on the table: a playable element.

From most games I’ve played, the Free to Play Otome does not give the player a complete story from start to finish for the player to read at their leisure. Rather, it’s broken up by the need to use tickets. 5 Tickets are generally given daily (either all five at once at a certain time of day, or one is generated every four hours, depending on the game. They do not roll over if you do not use your tickets all at once, however. Maximum given is always five tickets), but more can purchased with real money if so desired. To play completely free, however, a healthy portion of patience is going to be required.

While waiting for your tickets to regenerate, Mobile Otomes usually have mini games installed to help you earn in-game currency and stats to help with upcoming Challenges and such. This is where the playable element comes in.

Play the mini games to help raise your stats and in-game currency. Logging into the game daily usually gives you items for free to help you (like free in-game money or items to raise your stats). If the game has a friends’ list element, max that out as soon as you can, as you can greet your friends once a day for money (some games offer both a greeting and sending a message for 30 in game currency per friend you have (max friend limit is usually 50, meaning you could be banking about 1500 a day), and, don’t worry you anxious types, the game offers automatically generated messages if you don’t want to create one on your own, things like ‘You’re avatar is awesome!’ ‘Have a nice day!’, basic things like that). Gachas are also offered free once a day, so things you win can be sold for in-game money.

What also makes mobile otomes unique is the Story Events, mini stories offered outside of the main story that help enrich the characters. It can be anything from different holiday and birthday events for the characters, exploring a common trope that isn’t explored in the canon proper, like waiting out a rainstorm or travelling abroad for your honeymoon. It’s like, even if you’ve completed the game proper, there’s always something new to keep you coming back for more.

In conclusion, all of them have their features that make them unique and each of them have their flaws. There are a variety of different otomes out there no matter your price range or console of choice. There is literally almost anything for anyone, and I love that about otome games, in video games in generally, really. I can only hope that this continues to be the case for a long time to come.

New Products On Demo From Fyne, Chord, Franco, Levinson, Arcam, JBL & PrimaLuna!

Hi All,

Hope everyone is safe and well, over the last couple of months it has been pretty frantic in here which I am very thankful for but one of the casualties has been that I haven’t had any time for an blogs and updates on the latest goings on at HFL.

As we said before even a world pandemic doesn’t appear to stop HiFi and over the last month or so we have had some exciting new demo products come in so I normally would write a quick blog about each but as the year draws to an end I thought I would just do a post covering everything new we have here so please see below for a real Santa bag of HiFi treats and if anything interests you please feel free to get in touch.

Fyne Audio 501SP Speakers

I’m a big fan of the original Fyne Audio F501’s, they really are unbeatable for the money and Fyne have done it again with their new higher end version, the F501SP, at under £3000 they really are brilliant and are well worth a listen if you are looking for speakers at this price point.

https://hifilounge.co.uk/product-category/brands/fyne-audio/f500-series/

Chord Ultima 6 Stereo Power Amp.

So we have the Chord Reference Ultima 2’s and Ultima Pre here which I love but at nearly £50k they are not going to fit everyone’s budget so we have now added the Ultima 6 Stereo Power amp to our demo lineup which absolutely sings and at £5995 is a tad more affordable.

https://hifilounge.co.uk/product-category/brands/chord-electronics/chord-electronics-full-size/

Franco Serblin Accordo Essence Speakers

Franco Serblin speakers have been a bit of a revelation to me in 2020, I am totally captivated by the Ktema but we now have the Accordo Essense on permanent demo which completes the full range of Franco Serblin speakers for customers to listen to, they are extremely musical and natural sounding and obviously stunning to look at, there really are a lot of speakers out there but the Franco Serblin Speakers really do stand out in a crowded market place.

https://hifilounge.co.uk/product-category/brands/franco-serblin/

Levinson TT no 5105 Turntable

So we have just taken in the new Mark Levinson no 5105 Turntable, beautifully engineered and at £5399 not ridiculous money, I’m just deciding which cartridge to fit to it, probably a Dynavector of some kind, maybe an XX2 but this will be well worth a listen up against the Rega Planar 10, new SME Model 6 and the Michell Orbe, we really are spoilt for choice when it comes to quality turntables.

https://hifilounge.co.uk/product-category/brands/mark-levinson/

Arcam ST60 Streamer

We also now have the new Arcam ST60 streamer on demo which caters for all the major streaming services and is a Roon endpoint and at £1199 really is cracking value, I’ve been using it for a few demo’s lately and really does sound good so will be a great way to get in to streaming without breaking the bank or a nice upgrade from something like a BlueSound Node 2i.

https://hifilounge.co.uk/product-category/brands/arcam/arcam-hda-range/

JBL L82 Classic Speakers

I love our JBL Classic 100’s so I’m really pleased to have added the smaller and cheaper at £1999 JBL82’s to our lineup, they really is nothing like this range from JBL, unashamedly retro but sound excellent which is the main thing I guess but you can’t help but love the looks.

https://hifilounge.co.uk/product-category/brands/jbl/

New PrimaLuna Integrated Amps.

PrimaLuna is one of our most popular brands, everyone loves them when they hear them so although the Evo 400 Integrated is our most popular amp in their range I thought it made sense to add a Evo 100 and Evo 200 Integrateds also to cater for everyone’s budgets.

https://hifilounge.co.uk/product-category/brands/primaluna/

IsoAcoustics

IsoAcoustics has been very popular for us this year, anyone that has tried their Gaia’s of Orea’s have nothing but praise for what they do so now they have bought out their ZaZen range of Isolation Platforms, we have both models on demo, they are ideal for Turntables and Preamp, DAC’s and sources so if you want more from your system then they are well worth considering.

https://hifilounge.co.uk/product-category/brands/isoaccoustics/isoaccoustics-delos/

Bryston BR-20

Finally we have the new Bryston BR-20 Preamp, this is due early January but I am really looking forward to trying this myself, basically a streaming Preamp that can be partnered with a Poweramp to give a really nice and discreet highend system, for me this partnered with a Bryston 4B3 will be epic.

https://hifilounge.co.uk/product-category/brands/bryston/pre-amps/

Thanks for reading and if anything takes your fancy please feel free to get in touch.

All the best and take care,

Regards,

Gif Tutorial!

Since I’m sure some of you are wondering how to make some nice gifs (and since I’ve seen a few people want one), I’ve made a gif tutorial! It’s really, really long and that’s probably because I do it an inefficient way but hey it works. So let’s get started!

Before starting off, the programs that I use are VLC and Photoshop CC 17. I’m also using a mac so some things will be found via different means. You don’t have to have the exact version be be aware that some things may be placed just a little differently depending on the version.

Starting off, once you have VLC, open it up and it should look something like this:

You want to go to preferences located towards the top left hang corner after clicking VLC (in bold). Something like this should then pop up:

Click onto the ‘Video’ tab and select where you want your frames to be saved. Next move onto the ‘Hotkeys’ tab and find ‘Take video snapshot’ and ‘Next Frame’, setting them to which ever keys you like. Mine are set to E and ` (for no particular reason)

When making a gif, you’ll obviously need to have a file of whatever you wish to gif (since I’m an OP blog I’ll stick to using OP as an example). The website to torrent these from is nyaa.si. This is what it looks like:

(Me being the horrible OP nerd that I am have all episodes and movies downloaded....)

Once you have the desired episode you want, open it up in VLC.

Once you reach the part you want to gif, click your ‘Take video snapshot’ hotkey. This is what should appear once you do so:

Next, you’ll have to click your ‘Next Frame’ hotkey and go through all the frames, snapshotting the ones you desire. I know it’s a really long and tedious process, especially if you’re doing large gif sets but it helps in the long run. Chuck on some tunes as to not get bored!

All of your frames will save in the desired folder, with the frames being individual images.

Now to put them together! Open up Photoshop and go to File>Scripts>Load Files into Stack.

Don’t go to Import>Load files into frames (or something like that) as this makes the whole process a lot more difficult. When going through this way, you are only limited to 500 frames which can limit what you’re working on (especially if it’s a large gifset with more than 500 frames). When importing through Scripts, it will allow you more than 500 (I haven’t hit a limit yet so I’m not sure if there is one or not but so far I haven’t experienced one).

Click ‘Browse’ and find the folder with your frames, selecting all of the ones you wish to convert into a gif and click ‘Open’ and then ‘Ok’. It should look something like this:

Next, we want to display the ‘Timeline’. To do this, we have to go to Window>Timeline

A grey box should appear on the bottom of your page. Click the little arrow where it says ‘Create Video Timeline’ and click ‘Create Frame Animation’

When done, click on the little box to the right hand side of the timeline window and click ‘Make Frames From Layers’.

Because of the size of the file, it’s too big and is lagging down Photoshop a bit, plus we need to adjust the sizing for Tumblr. To do this, go to Image>Image Size

Make sure that the width is at 540 pixels (not cm, inches, etc.) if you want a standard size. (I don’t remember the exact dimensions for Tumblr but if you want to know, do a quick google search). Also be sure to click the link to ensure it is fitted proportionately and click ‘OK’ once done.

Once again, click the little dropbox on the top right hand side of the timeline window and click ‘Reverse Frames’ (only if your frames have loaded backwards which mine always do although this may be different to you, to check just play through the frames)

Play around with timing to how you wish. I usually have mine at ‘0.08′ seconds. You can change the time down next to the small arrow where it has ‘0.00′ (Make sure all frames are selected if you want all frames to have the same time delay) Remember that when played at 0.00, it may appear normal but once saved it is a lot faster so be sure to change it

Now we want to select all frames in both the timeline and in the layers, this is important for the next step. Once selected, click the small icon at the bottom of the the left hand corner (next to ‘Once’)

Once this is converted to a video timeline, go to Filter>Convert for Smart Filters. This essentially merges all your frames/layers together and still plays as a video in the timeline. It also allows us to edit the batch of frames together instead of going through each individual frame to edit it.

This bit of editing really helps blend colours together which helps in saving them later on. It does get rid of details here in there depending how you apply it. Go to Filter>Blue>Surface Blur and experiment around with the settings.

I usually keep mine at Radius: 5 and Threshold: 10. I recommend not going too far from these numbers.

Because the surface blur has blured the colours together slightly, the defining lines of the character are slightly lost. To fix this we go to Filter>Sharpen>Smart Sharpen.

I tend to keep my radius quite low and the amount relatively low as well, it depends on the gif I’m making.

I tend to see this a lot when people make gifs and that is that they oversharpen their frames which can be quite jarring to the eye and it also doesn’t look very nice. An example of oversharpening is when white pixels surround the black like this:

Less oversharped but still so:

It makes the lines all jagged and unsmooth which is what we want to avoid.

That’s a lot better (and it could be better but notice the distinct lack of white pixels)

Now you can play around with different filters and such! I definitely recommend using some sort of filters, the anime colours are very dull and unsaturated. Once you’re happy, save your gif by going to File>Export>Save for Web

This is what the next window will look like. You can experiment with either Diffusion and Pattern. This is how the pixels on your gif will appear. I usually alternate between the two, depending on what works best with the particular gif I’m making. In this case, I’ll use Diffusion.

When saving, make sure that the size of the gif is no higher than 3mb, that is tumblr’s restriction on the size of gifs (as of making this tutorial). Also make sure that Looping Options is selected as ‘Forever’. Click ‘Save’ when you’re done! And there you go, you have your gif!

Filter 1:

Filter 2:

Filter 3:

Anime:

Notice the different palettes you can create? If you only wanted to make a gif, you’re done! However, if you want to know some more tricks, keep on reading! (I say as if this tutorial isn’t long enough)

This part is if you want your gifs to look more clean and crisp.

If you notice in my example gifs, they all have these square like patterns on there. That’s because Photoshop can only allow 256 colours, so to make up for those lack in colours, it adds pattern/diffusion to essentially replace them (or something like that lol) To fix this, go back to your gif (before saving) and select the lasso tool and select the colours that are most important in the frame.

Once done, click Image>Mode>Indexed Colour (make sure you have the history window ready)

Make sure your settings are set like this (they may be by default but I don’t remember) and click ‘OK’

Now go back and save it as if you were saving it as a gif by File>Export>Save for web. This time, click the drop box and click ‘Save Colour Table’ and call it table. It will ask if you want to replace it, click ‘OK’. Once saved, click cancel and return to your gif.

Click on the history window (if it’s not there, look under ‘Window’) and undo the ‘Indexed Colour’. When we did this, the layers all merged together and the frames have gone, meaning no more motion/movement. Make sure to undo this step!

Click the same little icon when we were saving the colour table and click load table, and select ‘table’. Similar colours will come up however now they are the most important ones. Play through the gif to ensure the colours look nice and look smooth. if not, delete some colours on the colour table by selecting the colour you wish to delete and the little trash can in the bottom right hand corner. To add colours, go to the ‘original’ tab and select the colour picker, clicking the little page icon left of the trash can. This will add the colour to the table.

This can be incredibly tedious but it changes the colours on the gif and makes it look as if it is straight from the anime. Gifs like this one needs a lot of time since the colours in the back change quite a lot.

Before:

After:

It may not look like much to those who don’t make gifs (or any difference at all) but things like these can help increase the quality of the gif. It seems like a really long and tedious process (to which it is trust me) but I think it’s worth it in the end!

For comparisons sake, here’s diffusion (first) compared to pattern (second)

If anyone has any questions regarding this tutorial, feel free to message me and I can try help you out!

If you read this far, thank you so much! I spent a lot of time on this tutorial so I’m grateful if you took time out of your day to read this. Have a good day!!

#gif #tutorial #anime #opgraphics #one piece #monkey d. luffy #GOD #this took 3 hours to make #more than that #I'm lowkey embarrassed #oh well #I hope it wasn't too confusing #but yeah making gifs is tiring #blegh #mine

Hi everyone! This edition of my Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ Roadmap offers a first look at the upcoming direction for the game, provides a brief review of our last few months, and offers insight into what you can expect for the remainder of this year. I look forward to hearing your feedback and reading your comments about our Roadmap.

As the Lead Producer, I feel like it bears repeating our team’s priority is to continue providing great story-driven gameplay along with multiplayer Star Wars™ content. Most importantly, we want to ensure everyone, including those who prefer solo activities, has an enjoyable experience every time you play our game. To help make this happen, we believe it’s the right time for our galaxy to come together.

UNITED FORCES CAMPAIGN Starting on October 10th and through a series of updates through November 28th, we’re making improvements to the way players come together in multiplayer experiences that make everything more accessible, convenient, and rewarding. We’ve outlined United Forces in the announcement blog where we describe the changes that help you find other like-minded players to join in group gameplay at almost any time, reinvigorating the fun of playing multiplayer. As part of this rollout, we have made a substantial investment in hardware, software, and network infrastructure to dramatically improve our service and make your experience awesome. I’m very excited about these improvements, so be sure to check out the blog and FAQs to find out more and get ready to come together in the United Forces Campaign.

Here’s the upcoming rollout schedule: October 10, 2017 – Game Update 5.5 – United Forces Foundation – in addition to a variety of Quality of Life (QoL) improvements, this update includes the underlying foundational structural changes needed to support United Forces.

October 24, 2017 – United Forces Formation – on this day, the game will be unavailable for an extended time as we’ll be setting up the formation of the campaign, replacing existing hardware and software with all the new Game Servers and supporting components. It will also include additional changes needed to support the deployment of the United Forces update.

November 8, 2017 – United Forces Update is rolled out and everyone moves to five new servers with new names as follows: Two servers in North America and three servers in Europe – one each of English, French, and German. You can expect extended downtime as we make the final improvements to the Server environments. Check the blog and FAQs to discover our new Server names.

November 28, 2017 – Game Update 5.6 – A Traitor Among the Chiss becomes available and includes something new for everyone!

GAMEPLAY DIRECTION

Over the past several months, we delivered the first two Boss Encounters of a new Operation, ‘Gods from the Machine,’ brought back Companions, made huge changes to improve the balance across our Classes, deployed two new Galactic Strongholds, revived the Nar Shaddaa Nightlife event, made the Galactic Starfighter (GSF) space combat experience even more rewarding, and most recently, revealed a traitor in your Alliance through a new Flashpoint. We’ve also made quite a few Quality of Life improvements, adding new character and legacy perks, increasing the ease of gaining Influence with your Companions, and enabling the ability to summon your Companion while moving. Based on the feedback we’ve seen on our forums, fan sites and social channels, we still have lots more to deliver. On November 28th, following the United Forces update, we are going to release our biggest multiplayer update of the year. We’ve got something for everyone! If you like story-driven Star Wars-style battles, you can jump into a new Flashpoint, ‘A Traitor Among the Chiss.’ If you like blasters-blazing big boss battles, get ready to face Nahut, the 3rd Boss encounter in the ‘Gods from the Machine’ Operation. For those of you looking for dogfighting in space, we are releasing a new Galactic Starfighter map that places you around the orbit of Iokath. For those who want to face off in PvP, we’ve got a new location for you, too. Plus, the update will include a multitude of additional features. My favorites include an enhanced Group Finder that makes grouping up quick and easy, Legacy bank improvements, a means of boosting a character to Level 70, and some cool United Forces rewards. We are also hard at work on features planned for early 2018, including overhauling the Conquest system with a stronger focus on Daily Activities and giving all guilds and players access to some great rewards. As you can see, we want all our players to benefit from the variety of new gameplay that’s coming. It’s going to take us a couple months to bring it all to you, but it’s also going to be fun discussing the updates, answering your questions, addressing your concerns, and watching your reactions. We will make our 6th year very memorable!

Story and Companions In our most recent Crisis on Umbara update (Game Update 5.4), players faced a deadly decision for your Alliance as you were forced to track down a traitor in your midst! There’s been lots of speculation about why this has happened, why anyone would betray the Alliance, and how we could allow such a horrible situation to occur. We know how impactful this has been on you, so perhaps knowing the story transitions to the Chiss on the planet Copero will give you a bit of insight as to what may happen on November 28 in A Traitor Among the Chiss (Game Update 5.6)! Although I won’t reveal where things are going after that, I can confirm that the thrilling conclusion to this chapter of the story is coming early next year… on a planet you probably wouldn’t expect to return to.

We know Companions make this game feel totally different while pulling on your emotions and making conversations exciting, frustrating, and extremely entertaining. We’ve given you the ability to customize many of them including Theron, Lana, Shae, Koth, and Senya, while at the same time changed how some interact with you. We continue to discuss ways of reintroducing you to your original Companions and will be returning several of them over the coming months. As we did with Crew Skill Missions, we’ll look to improve how you gain Influence with your Companions to increase their overall effectiveness.

Galactic Command

Since its introduction back with Knight of the Eternal Throne (Game Update 5.0 – KOTET), ranking through Galactic Command and upgrading your gear has remained controversial. We’ve made substantial improvements such as adding Gear Tokens in Operations, increasing Command XP (CXP) throughout the game, improved the drop rate for higher level gear, eliminated green drops for Tier 4, added set bonus stats to Prototype Tier 4 (Blue) gear, allowed you to purchase a full Tier 1 bonus set with command tokens, and enabled the ability to directly upgrade your gear with Unassembled Components. Based on your most recent feedback we are going to make additional changes which include the following: -Galactic Crate content improvements – we’re adding another slot in each crate that, no matter what Tier you’re in, grants a small chance to receive a higher tier Mod/Enhancement, Grand Chance Cube, CXP Buff, or CXP consumable. -Legacy Perk – For each character that reaches Command Rank 300, we will automatically add an additional 25% bonus CXP to your entire Legacy up to a maximum of 100%. You do need to purchase the initial 25% perk, but the additional 75% will be free. And, YES, this Perk is retroactive, so you will immediately benefit once we deliver United Forces Foundation. CXP for all areas of the game is in review – as some players experienced with the Planetary Daily Areas, increased CXP makes us happier, so that’s our plan for all areas throughout the game and will coincide with A Traitor Among the Chiss update.

Also with A Traitor Among the Chiss, we’re changing how Disintegrate works – instead of receiving more CXP, we will provide you with Unassembled Components for armor and weapons. In addition, you can send those components to any character in your Legacy as we’re changing these to be Legacy-bound consumables. Please note we will not introduce a new set of Tier gear for Galactic Command this year! Instead, we will be offering a special set of Augments to enhance your existing gear. These will drop in the Copero Flashpoint or can be purchased from a Copero vendor. In addition, we’ll offer an even better version of augments you can craft from materials gained through both PvP and PvE activities.

Operations We will continue to use our Public Test Server to get your feedback on each Boss encounter. We are in the process of finalizing Nahut, The Son of Shadow, who has new mechanics that will make the fight very entertaining for everyone yet very challenging for our most veteran of players. Next month, we’ll begin testing our 4th Boss encounter, Scyva, who will also deliver new mechanics to give progression groups a major challenge while getting them ready for the final Boss encounter with Izax. You can expect Izax will not go down easily and will be the most exciting encounter for ‘Gods from the Machine.’ Both Scyva and Izax will be made available in early 2018 and for those of you who enjoy the ultimate level of challenge. Our plan is to follow up with Master Modes of each boss fight, too. Beginning with United Forces Foundation, we’ll begin to include Unassembled Components as rewards on Master Mode Operation Boss encounters. This will allow players who gather enough components to directly upgrade their Tier gear pieces.

Class Balancing and Gameplay Experiences Some of the most impactful and controversial changes we made recently were those related to Class Balancing. Over the past few months we also determined many areas of the game were also imbalanced. Over the coming months, we’ll continue to refine Advanced Classes and adjust various World Bosses, plus Boss encounters in Flashpoints and Operations to ensure you can play whatever character desired.

Player versus Player (PvP) Starting with United Forces Foundation, we are increasing Bolster to 242 for non-ranked Warzones and Arenas which doesn’t remove the gear chase, but gives everyone a fighting chance. It still gives those who have made the effort to get Tier 4 gear to benefit from their time investment. Since many of us like to PvP on a variety of characters, with A Traitor Among the Chiss update (Game Update 5.6), your Unassembled Components will become legacy-bound. Now you can focus your entire Legacy on gearing up one or more characters a lot faster. In addition, we will release a new PvP map along with a new Galactic Starfighter map located in orbit above Iokath. In United Forces Foundation (Game Update 5.5), we will introduce extensive ship and component balance changes to Galactic Starfighter. Additionally, we will be adding some quality of life improvements to GSF.

Quality of Life As a reminder, Quality of Life (QoL) is a term we use to reference improvements we make to enhance your gameplay experience. QoL improvements include changes to existing game systems, improvements to the User Interface, simplifying ways to do things in-game, increasing the speed of mounts, adding Legacy Perks, and more. A cool change we are delivering with A Traitor Among the Chiss is the ability to add Credits to your Legacy Bank. You will retain the ability to have credits on your character, so this will work very similarly to how you use your Guild Bank, but it’s for all your Legacy characters. After reviewing your feedback, we decided to limit currency changes to Credits and Unassembled Components as those provide the most positive and impactful change.

PLAYER COMMUNICATION Over the past few months we have worked to increase communication and transparency. The amount of feedback and input I have received from you as part of this process is overwhelming and humbling. I feel proud to be at the helm of a game that has such dedicated fans. We make games because we love to watch the fun and competition they bring to gamers like us. Thank you for listening, reading and responding and please continue to share your feedback with us on the forums, on Reddit, on social media and on other fan sites. We value your comments and we are listening! The next Roadmap update will arrive in the early part of 2018 and will highlight the changes we plan through subsequent months. I’ll leave you with this quote as it sounds like me: “I’m not one to dismiss an idea just because it sounds a little crazy.’ —Sith Inquisitor, in a conversation with Talos Drellik.

Respectfully, —Keith Lead Game Producer Star Wars: The Old Republic
