Thread: Discussion: Fixes or New Content.
What bugs do you feel need to be fixed over adding new content?
What new content would make you forget bugs just to have it?
Do you believe if nothing more is added to CH you will become bored with it?
What do you find most boring now?
What do you find most exciting now?
Please try to give a short answer first because I want to continue the Week In Review series of posts and this will make a nice little addition.
For example:
What new content would make you forget bugs just to have it? Utility pets. I feel yada yada yada because yada etc blah blah blah.
Thank you,

Pluto,
Well geez which bugs, well for most the autostore but for me getting stuck on boundaries that would be very important. That and get the specials working.
I am not sure if there is any "new" content that would get my attention but I would love to have a corral or breeding ground, I think it should not be only CH but also BE. Ok let's say I have a couple of Rancors, then they have a baby, if a BE wanted he could come and sample the baby. Or we could cross to BE pets to get some specific DNA he wanted for his next creation. I would really like to see a Cooperative Breeding Barn for CH's and BE's. Can you imagine if you took those Beloved GSP''s and could mate them to get an offspring off of them. Now that would be cool. Or even a training center attachment.
Not bored now but then I am still discovering things after all these months.
Working FP!!
The chance to tame!
Pluto,
I've been asking for the devs to fix the bugs since, well, I don't know, a week after release perhaps?
As for content, there's a ton of content out there that is begging to be given access.
I spent the weekend wandering around Talus, looking for the Nym scavenger hunt site. In the process, I stumbled upon dozens of strange things. Statues. Monoliths. Skeletons, Ruins. Crash sites.
Each one of these POIs has a story behind it. We can see them there, but we have no way of discovering the story behind them! The potential for content is all over the map, literally, but SOE is apparently unwilling to tap that potential!
What happened to that town on Talus that is overrun with sludge panthers? What is the story behind the ruins that are infested with diseased mites? Why are a bunch of wolf kimas squatting in the middle of some ruins? What's up with that head along the riverbank in the NW corner of the map? Why is there a CorSec vs. Flail battle raging W of Nashal? What is the deal with the TIE bomber wreckage to the N of the detenion facility along the SE coast of the southern ocean?
What hacks me off about SWG is that there is so much potential! You've got this rich story environment with potentially hundreds of things for players to do. Yet so little of it has been scratched? Does this have to do with Raph Koster's disdain of the gamemaster guiding play, and he'd rather have the players conjure up their own content? If that's true, then players need tools to manipulate the world so that content can be created, but we're denied this? This scavenger hunt is the right idea, but it's not using the existing world and all its potential.
It strikes me that the developers have become somewhat cynical; their love for the content is lacking; it's just a job, to be knocked out close enough for SOE work. There is an appalling lack of dedication to excellence, with the exception of the art folks, who frankly do a spectacular job; it's just that the skeleton they're asked to dress is so rickety.
Fixes should be automatic. no discussion SHOULD be needed once the bug is made known and we should be INFORMED that the fixes are in que.
and on a personal note pluto

What bugs do you feel need to be fixed over adding new content?
Autostore, autostore, autostore. did I mention autostore?
What new content would make you forget bugs just to have it? a pet that can be effective in PvP
Do you believe if nothing more is added to CH you will become bored with it? Un fortunately yes finding the rares is as exciteing as grinding professions for FSCS
What do you find most boring now? not booring but dissapointing the lack of any pet with above 40% kinetic resits for hunting and the need for a be'ed pet to really hunt
What do you find most exciting now? having cool pets (would like more room still though) I only use 2 or 3 pets but just having the cool ones is awsome

I still won the race heh 
What new content would make you forget bugs just to have it? Twi'lek slave girls, other than that fix the bugs.
Do you believe if nothing more is added to CH you will become bored with it? I think I'm pretty damned cool, so no.
What do you find most boring now? Missions do get old at times.
What do you find most exciting now? Taming. No doubt about it. Masking scent knowing that this may be the last low crawl of my life. Edging closer and closer to the baby. Keeping a watchful eye on Momma. I have not has excitement like this since killing mammoth calfs in EQ hoping that Momma did not spawn on top of me.
Pluto, keep up the good work. This forum needed a few more leaders. Thanks in advance for the effort. There are too many brilliant minds here and the energy needs funneled rather than going down the drain.

>What bugs do you feel need to be fixed over adding new content?
Pet pathing. Pet autostore. Pet specials (Presuming we are talking CH only)
>What new content would make you forget bugs just to have it?
My beloved PekoPeko as a mount. That way when he gets stuck at a server boundry I will be there to unstick him (Yes flying would be novel enough to want it over a vehicle and PekoPeko fly fast anyway.
Any NOT-rare fast-flying creature as a mount would do as well.
>Do you believe if nothing more is added to CH you will become bored with it?
Too Late.
>What do you find most exciting now?
See previous.
The reason I remain a MCH is my attachement to my pets. I do really like them even if they are only useful in protecting me from weaker mobs. And that only if they have not autostored or gotten stuck. Due to the pathing issues I now call them before I start on a walkabout or harvest run and then I 'Keep to the code' (Pirates of the carrabean)
On a lighter note I have found a use for all those scanning parties out in the wild. Since I have + faction with both IMP and REB (A merchant has to stay on good terms with the customer) They will come to my aid if I am attacked by anything and am close enough. I can often pull the mob close enough to get the entire scanning party running to my aid. It is most ammusing.

Grinding the same old murder-death-mayhem missions for xp.
