Singing Mt. Clan theme park - No change (but you said it was updated in the patch notes )


so i get all excited, wholy crap!!! they finaly added the rest of the SMC theme park , omg omg omg, buy some brandy, get buffed up, grab my new improved LVA and rush out to dathomir. make my way to the Singing Mountan Clan temple and....


no change, they still tell me i have done every thing. there is no NPC to reset either... friend of mine who went with me starts running missions... and gets exactly the same stuff i got first time though words cannot describe my dissapointment... been looking forward to that update since you posted the preliminary patch notes.


oh, and if and when you do get this fixed, i pray that you give wareable SMC clothing as a reward for us girls who think they are the coolest characters in the game... thanks for the help TH, i hopeyou alljust missed it during the update, and can hotfix it in for us.

well... from 3PO i got 5 of these really cool pistol power-ups... just one prob... i can't use them on any of my pistols... DL-44, DL-44 metal, FWG-5, Scout blaster.... none of them will accept the damn power-ups... WHY??





Because its not a powerup. Its a part that goes in when a pistol is being built. I.E. take it to a weaponsmith and get them to make you a custom pistol with it.


You may now thank me for stating the blatantly obvious.

I don't think it was very clear that the reset was a one time offer only. I know me and many other people who were close to finishing the theme park opted not to restart because we believed that it could be reset at any moment [as the update note seems to imply]. Just feel that it's very unfair.

As a loyal imperial bothan i was excited to recieve my new tie suit but saddened when i couldnt don the helm. I would like to know your thoughts on weather i will ever wear an imperial helm as a bothan? My composite helm fits just fine.

To be honest I was quite diappointed with some of the new loot from the Rebel theme park.
As a Bounty Hunter I don't have much use for barrels, vibro parts, schematics and 2 handed swords.....
The ring and banner where probably the only 2 items I will use.

They should have beefed up the reseted version. Serousily, killing 200 HP thugs as a master whatever isnt very exiting.

More general themepark than loot...


The hills around the Rebel themepark seem to have been taken over by "Flail"-type aggro NPCs and aggro Mottled Wrix. You can't even do the simple delivery missions half the time without getting into heavy fighting.


More than once, I've come to my wp to find my target (Rebel) NPC in a fight against 4-5 red-con NPCs. He's usually dead before I can make and drop a camp to pull a pet to help him.


Also, shouldn't there be covert scanners at the bases?

Are they ever planning on changing the badges profiles? When i examin a character to see if this individual is a certain skilled proffesional or has completed a certain NPC quest or even just to read thier bio itspits out a long list of a bunch of nonsense things like exploration badges in mixed up order. I think it would be helpfull to break the badges down in files where you can click on to open. Instead of having a huge long list of exploration badges have a file called Exploration and you can open it to view them all. And have it for each type of badge.I used to be proud to wear my quest badges for others to see but then that stupid patch with exploration badgesmakes it difficult for ppl see what I have accomplishedrather theysee that I visitedan ewok village, big whoopy fricken doo. God I hope they organize it.

The new loot is nice.
HOWEVER, all the clothes with all the special bonuses added to them, a WOOKIEE cannot wear. Why do the Wookiees get perpetually screwed and looked over?
Why can't there be some nice loot or an option for Wookiees to get Wookiee clothes with those bonuses?
From the rebel theme park, I received a pair of armored pants with defense vs dizzy and fire resistance, very nice pants that WOOKIEES will never be able to wear.
I have also heard of special boots with bonuses as loot, which neither Wookiees or Transdoshans can wear.
When will the WOOKIEES be shown a little love?

Has anyone else tried doing the Valarian quests since Publish 6? I spoke to Valarian, and she referred me to Kavas (the Chiss). I spoke to her, and she said I wasn't "well known enough", which I took to mean that I needed more Valarian faction. I dutifully slew my way to 500 Valarian faction, and now Kavas won't talk to me at all. Valrian and Ind still refer me back to Kavas, but that Chiss wench won't speak to me.


Am I doing something wrong? Or is this an old problem? Or a new problem?


Thanks,

I cant redo Lady Valarian or Jabba's missions the first quest giver in either case will notspeak to me.. I've gotten the "well known enough' from Kavas. I think it has something to do with me having -5000 Hutt faction (i've read on these boards that suddenly having -5000 Hutt faction is somehow related to completing Act 3). This is different from Jabba and Valarian faction. I've tried getting positive faction for both of those and it doesnt help. I cant seem to find a way to raise my Hutt faction however and am concerned that this is broken and that i wont be able to redo Jabba's and Lady Valrians for the new loot. I really want the paintings from jabba's. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Pthalio -- I noted this a couple of pages back. For the Valarian quests, I had the following things happen:


1.) First, I got the "not well known" message. So I went and got 250-300 Valarian faction.


2.) Then, Kavas wouldn't speak to me at all. So I went and spoke to her bare-handed, and she told me that I wasn't powerful enough to do the missions. A-ha! A clue!


3.) Finally, I equipped my LLC, which always makes me seem tougher for mission/con purposes (though I'm infinitely more lethal with my carbine). Then, I got the message "This mission is beneath you. Are you sure you want it?" I said yes, and was able to do the missions.


I enjoyed the Valarian missions immensely -- I was pleasantly surprised when the Chadra-Fan that was reputed to use IG Assassin droids actually used IG assassin droids (though the Chadra-Fan himself was naked -- weird). So if you can find some way to make yourself seem very powerful, Kavas will let you do the missions (you need to use the same dirty trick for the other goon, and for Lady Valarian herself). The loot is pretty good (the mystical orb makesa cool decoration).


Of course, I repaid Valarian her generosity by slaying droves of her goons, so I could get my Jabba faction high enough to do his theme park.

I did not read through this whole thread so these may have been stated, but I've been doing static quests on Tatooine all weekend long and I have a couple of observations.

1. Mos Taike seems to have been forgotten in the revamp. I did all the static quests in Mos Taike yesterday and all but one of them still gave the old 30 or 40 credit rewards. Only the mayor gave better than that, and his still paled in comparison to rewards given in other cities. He had 5 or 6 quests for you to do, and each paid more than the last with the final one paying only 1800 credits I think it was. Many quests in other places pay 1000 for the first, and some get up to paying 6 or 7000 credits for the final one. As I said, I think someone forgot about Mos Taike when revamping the rest.

2. Fixer, in the Anchorhead Cantina (not Tavern), seems to have had his quests revamped, or at least the first two. The first two had rewards in line with the other revamped quests. However, the final quest for him seems to be broken. You are to take a part to his girlfriend so she can fix her broken down speeder. When I arrived I noticed that she was a red dot on radar. She did not attack me and I was able to talk to her and give her the part and got the message to go back for my reward. However, as I was leaving she aggro'd on me. I was on my speder and easily outran her,but I'm pretty sure she is not supposed to be aggressive. In addition to that, after getting back to Fixer and talkeing to him, there was no reward at all and his conversation seems to be messed up. It looked like it jumbled what he was supposed to say to you with what he'd say to you if you talked to him again after completing all of his quests.

Hope you guys and get these couple of little things taken care of!
