Thread: The Status of Battlefields
Since the other posts have deviated from the nominal topic already, I will comment on the complete lack of posts on the "In Concepts" forum. The existance of that forum was a key part of the board restructure, but it effectivly does not exist. There has to be some area you are accepting concepts on!
Regarding battlefields, their (temporary?) absence won't be a problem. I have never found one with anyone nearby, much less in use.
If they ever do get revived, it would be desirable to have good (and safe) spectator locations so it was possible to decide if entering was going to be fun, a waste of time, or a disaster.
how about this...
1. NO penalty for battle field participation (read jedi deaths, and decay)
2. more faction points for participation, to get the faction farmers out there, and away from bases.
Make them interesting so I'd care next time.
battlefields should keep score.
They should provide individual, and guild ladder style rankingsystems with real rewards.
Good ways to view the standings in the ladder systems.
Badges should be included.
Special event tournaments (go wild Pex).
The ability to host your own tournaments (some sort of interface that alows you to configure battlefield options, enter contestents, helps manage the process).
Faction rankings should have real effect on the SWG story.
If battlefields already have some of this stuff, then be sure to keep it.
Thunderheart, your posts are not showing up on the Dev Tracker option.....
Let us make this the official "Petition to give Jedi free Deaths on Battlefields, or Jedi only Battlefields" thread. Sign if you support.
I have recently quit playing my JEdi because there really is no point to having an amazingly strong character if you can't PVP with him or show off your skills without risk of being killed.

There is one inherent problem jedi's will have to face in a battlefield. - Picture this scenario:
PlayerAis a jedi knight, and heads out with his group to do alittle 'risk free' pvp (sounds like alot of fun).
Player B is on the opposing team in the battlefield, and recognises Player A as Player C's bounty mark.
Player B tells Player C wherePlayer A is.
Player A dies in battlefield, and respawns just outside, wherePlayer C is waiting, LLC in hand.
Now the jedi dies, and it counts.
There will always be this problem if there is a static place you respawn after participating in a BF. There needs to be a way for the jedi to get out of thefield without people camping the location he will appear when complete.

How about 2 VERY Very big Battlefields /imp vs Rebell instead off all those little ones noones ever goes
This would be for the people out there couse they now that there will allways be action .
-High NPC spawn rate
-If you but HQ inside a Bf pls make walls so strong that you have to shoot about 15 min in a group with 20 man
-Lower Costs for BF structure *makes more war*
-New sounds inside BF would be great
-Mayor tasks that spawn later in war like a ATAT
-Good Defens for both sides at starting *player could close and open doors or gates*
would be nice if you enter then have 10 min where you cant leave your base in that time you make plans
-If its a big Bf you could let story let take place there like 10 diff battels
-Biger BF *did i say that 
*
-If a player dies he warps into a Dead Zone where all dead players are . They can talk there but not attack there. Like a waiting room *with Bf info inside*
-If someone dies he goes there for 5min
-a Battle schould take about 2 -3hr
-How about a BF city make a city with walls around and let fight imps and rebs about it * brainstorming* or Creat one BF planet *lol* then all your props are gone heheh
-More to come its late here in Germany
sry for my englisch
It would be cool if there could be some major battle scheduled by SOE every month. They could give a reward to the winners by giving participants of the winning side an extra month bonus to certain defensive stats. Like ones that arent in the game like +25 temporary month bonus to flame resistance or poison. That would be fun and worthwhile. It would also be important for the each side to win or have tougher opponents for the next month as a moral boast of sorts.
