• Status Effect Changes: The ability to effect the status of inanimate objects has been removed. Players will no longer be able to effect AT-STs, player vehicles, droids and turrets by the special effects of Stun, Dizzy, Blind, Warcry and wookiee roar. Additionally, biological DoT’s (poison and disease) will no longer effect vehicles, droids or turrets and finally, AT-ST’s and players vehicles will be immune to all posture changes.


• Flame DoT removal items: Flamethrowers have the ability to inflict fire DoT’s and currently, the only way to remove that DoT in PvP is to submerse a player avatar in a static body of water. The challenge is that Tatooine has only 1 very small body of water and on the swamp planet of Rori, it is possible for a player to have to run for more than 20 minutes to the nearest body of water. To give players a fair chance against this, Doctor’s can now craft Fire Blankets. Fire Blankets will give Doctors the ability to extinguish flame with a /extinguishflame command that will enable the use of the fire blanket. To balance out the Fire Blanket, using the blanket drains the “mind” of the doctor.


• Zero HP Turrets: Turrets attached to Factional Headquarters had a chance that when they reached zero, they would remain in the world and continue to attack players. Turrets at 0/0 will now deactivate and be removed from the world.

How are the status effect changes working?

Doctors, can you now craft Fire Blankets?

Is the Fire Blanket working properly?

Are zero HP turrets deactivating and being removed?

Not to thread hi-jack (well ok i do mean to) can we geta REDin the cgw board, it seams that every post in there has to do with base shift times and people are really frustrated and would like to hear a response.

Thanks

Vulnerability times for player bases still move forward every time the server goes down for maintenance. This can make defending a base virtually impossible, after a few days your base is vulnerable at such a time where youre not able to oversee it.

Set the vulnerability to a "clock time" rather than a timer.If necessary, have ituse PST for example, rather than a timer.

Thank you.

Yeah, the base timer stuff makes me pretty miffed as well. We have lost one of the small bases fulled turret stacked and the largest base with full turrets to this same problem. The time keeps jumping around until its near the server reboot time, and during the week our guild is asleep preping mentally for our lives the next day be in jobs or school, and it seems our server has some Europe Imperials that have a base popping team. At any rate, the time we had set to defend the base had jumped around to a time frame we were not able to defend (24/7 base defense is like playing The Sims Online, but thats a whole seperate issue) I would just like to voice it sucks to lose legitimately earned FP bases to have some Euro-Trash or non-working/schooling individuals to remove your base at a time you did not set. nuff said.

I was told by a CSR that in patch 7 it was no longer going to be possible for an overt corpse to shutdown a base countdown sequence. I wish to confirm this fix with someone.

Thanks,
