TH,


You mentioned above that once the jedi revamp is completed, you will start to have focus discussions on the combat revamp. Wouldn't it help to actually have these "discussions" before you spend months coding the changes?




I agree - - thats how it will occur.





Ummm.. so all this time waiting forCBand it getting postponed... there hasnt been any coding work done?

Last week, there was a strong opinion towards bringing more focus to the weekly roundtable discussion and I agree. My questions to you now would be:




  • What are some topics you would like to see discussed?


  • What are some of the important points of focusing the discussion, or would you like to see a "post your essay" kind of thing, more of a free form discussion or something else? If its "something else", then what would you like to participate in?

Thanks

Ok really this time I'd be happy in hearing anything not related to the Jedi revamp..Maybe some news on what we can expect in the GCW revamp (even though its a ways off), maybe you have an idea of what will change and what new things will we see in the battlefields??



P.S. could you give GreenMarine a pat on the back from the smuggler community?? thanks

hmmm, what is the official statement on weapon/armor/clothing repair changes? no numbers mind you TH, just curious what the official word is on it since there was obviously a change in them. otherwise what can ppl expect in JTL as far as crafting experience outside of being a shipwright?

I guess I will be the first to say:

What is going to be done to help us Bounty Hunters out in our effort to keep the Jedi population down?

What other fixes are going to happen to help Bounty Hunter?


Thanks for you time!

We need to be discussing the current state of the GCW. Many players play not to be a Jedi, but to be a regualr player. With the upcoming jedi changes many players feel they will be left out of the GCW.

The game has been moving towards the needs of powergamers and away from the needs of casual gamers.


No casual gamer will ever be a higher level Jedi.
No casual gamer will ever be able to have all of the best weapons/armor/doc buffs/food buffs/ spice buffs

It seem that the design direction has done a full 180 turn.Please bring hope to the casual gamers once again.
Any comments would be very much appriciated.

Personally I would like to see some focus on the Corvette missions..


Here is what we do know


  • Prenerf - it was too easy to just run solo

  • Postnerf fix was to try to stop this by adding SBDs everywhere....and sometimes the spawns are getting silly

  • Postnerf - people still run it solo

For the first and only instanced dungeon and the only dungeon outer space ...it almost seems to be forgotten by the Devs. Players cannot stand it now..please review the posts in the official thread and elsewhere...something needs to be done as something is very wrong


Here are my suggestions to fix it -



  • return it to the prenerf SBD spawn rate

  • get the npcs to fight the SBDs

  • add an insurance terminal...(i understand buffs...but remember risk/reward..noone wants to ruin armor)

  • make the power core a loot item off a high HAM npc..ie..cannot get it solo..but a group of 5-10 is gauranteed to get the one power core per mission

  • make all the missions involve killing 1 high HAM npc (to loot a key or disk to open up the elevtor

  • make is so all the 9 missions involve killing this high HAM npc for this key/disk....this way..no more solo runs and more grouping

  • make the lootable npcs so if a SBD kills them...no loot rights..ie..we they players have to kill the high ham npc

What this would do is just about kill the solo runs..both for loot and for badges and add alot of excitement for the goups that would then begin running this
