Development Cycle Archive

I agree with RaiCella, fix the other professions before fixing jedi.

I think after the big chef and droid fix, the devs should focus on all the Melee professions and Image Designers. Bounty Hunters could also use some dev love.

I also think that all combat professions should get new weapons.

Please improve the bazaar functionality. Specifically:

1. Allow browse access to the bazaar from anywhere. You shouldn't be able to purchase / sell, but at least see what's available... It would make sense with continuity: this is a technological universe, and folks should have access to this type of data from anywhere.

I'll do you one better: make those data terminals that artisans sell actually useful. Buy a terminal for your home or PA and be able to browse the bazaar at home.

Take if further, if you like. Make it so that you can buy shuttle tickets ahead of time buy choosing your starting point and destination.

Also, we need wall art for our homes when up/down is introduced (Publish 7, right? Right?). It would be technologically infeasible at this point, but it would berather coolif we could take screencaps and have artisansturn those into custom wall art for us.

As an architect that has worked really DARN HARD to get a community of crafters in SiN CiTY Dantooine (Tempest) I can't tell you how much I seethed every single time I got into NPC structures and see art, rugs, tables, terminals, desks, etc........

There is absolutely no reason that tailors should not be making rugs and tapestries, at least from a standard template. Yes, I would like to put my own skins in but I'm realistic in a step at a time requirements. Please at least let us make the things that are already in the game! Faction furniture, armor, weapons, etc. There's just no excuse for having people buy furniture armor and weapons from a freaking recruiter!

Since I'm a Bounty Hunter let me start with our concepts I like to see added

[snip]

4. Bounty Hunter JetPacks

Gotta agree with this one. Great conversion for the special ops backpacks! Make those backpack stats count for once! Oh and skill tapes working for the packs too please?

5. Give Master Bounty Hunter (Content) a very hard multi-Part Quest to obtian the Mystical Mandalorian Armor.

Read: VERY HARD!

[snip]

General

1. Add Headlights to Speeders

2. Add Trunck & Storage Compartments to speeders.

3. Landspeeder should sit more then one player.

I bet we'd see less burned out vehicles with these changes! And lower that BOOM sound please. It freaks the dogs out and they start howling!

4 Allow Cabinets, Bookcase & Dresser to actually store items.

5 Allow for Player to be able to lay down on Beds. (Maybe this would increase the Regeneration Rate on Hit Points. If in a Medical Center increase rate in recovering Wounds Damage.)

6 Allow for Mutliple players to sit down on Sofas (Large one of course)

/SIGH Only wish.

Just a few things I like to see in SWG!

Smuggling = moving contraband

If Imperials are given the opportunity to move contraband more effectively than anyone else, they will be smuggling in terms of gameplay.

And, in fact, they will be smuggling with 100% certainty of success, as opposed to a Master Smuggler's 95% certainty of success (which is already too high). How many skillpoints have been invested by the Imperial? Zero.

NERFHERDER TRANSLATION: Okay, so you devs finally came up with something that not only makes the game funner for the whole, but gives people a reason to go Imperial without all the idiot AT-ST whiners crying about it. However, since I think that I should get my way and have all the power as I see fit I want you to screw everyone over, again, in the Imperial side so I can have my way.

There's no other situation in the game where you can use FP to buy another profession's abilities. Imagine if you could go to an Imperialrecruiter and get a weapon more powerful than what Weaponsmiths could make, or armor more powerful than what an Armorsmith could make. Do you think the Weaponsmiths and Armorsmiths would be very happy about that? No, they'd fight tooth and nail to prevent anyone from devaluing their invested skillpoints.

NERFHERDER TRANSLATION: Maybe if I sorta point out the fact that crafters have been screwed by faction recruiters selling better things than they can make thenno one will remember that crafters have a very limited role in GCW and have basically been looked over time and time again so l33t whiners like me can R0L3! Nah, I'll make up some story that misrepresents the facts, that always works better when whining.

Rank should mean something, but it shouldn't entitle you to buy another profession's core value or buy in excess of your alotted 250 skillpoints- and in this case, Imperials get to take the smuggling from the Smuggler.

NERFHERDER TRANSLATION: Gee, I hope no one remembers that until this patch there wasreally no such thing as smuggling in the game and I want it all for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's bad game design, and I'd like to know how the Devs justify letting one profession be bought and sold as a Faction perk rather than as a skillpoint investment.

NERFHERDER TRANSLATION: How can I knee-jerk the devs? Hmm... I know! I'll use the "Bad Game Diesign" attack. It worked so well when the rebel whiners used it 24/7 to get the AT-ST's nerfed outta PvE. Yeah, that's the ticket!

please get rid of the /loot command.

we are getting too many people camping loot drops (borgle bat cave anyone?) and afk killing for crystals on spawn locations (outside coronet - poor meatlumps).

This game is not EverCamp... er i mean everquest. please get rid of the camping!

---

Making the suggestion again, hopefully it's read.

AFK for 15 minutes at a loot drop. You get a TEF that is the same as CITYWARN of old. ANYONE can attack you. Please devs, stop the campers but don't recreate the world to do so.

Experience gained from creatures.

I understand it is capped right now because ppl have the ablity to solo just about any creature. My question is after the combat revamp I strongly suggest making a large leap in xp to harder kills such as kimos, krayts, nightsisters, jedi, etc. It is just not rewarding enough right now.

how about the devs stop spoon-feeding the entertainers half-assed answers and actually do something about the profession?

dancers and musicians are much needed in this game. we get rid of mind wounds and battle fatigue. no one else can do that save for a master level Teras Kasi Artist, but still they need to heal battle fatigue. combat medics can heal mind damage, but their mind wounds are emmense, and they can't heal those themselves. they need dancers and musicians. entertainers are not replacable. we're sick of being ignored and taken for granted. eventually, if we get bored enough with our stagnating profession we will cease to exist as we move on to other professions. the holo-grinders will soon disappear either moving on to their next profession or, with the new jedi system being put in place, there will be no more hologrinders. there will be very few people to heal your minds and your fatigue. this affects the combat classes which outnumber everything else. you screw us over, you screw them over. didn't you want professions to be reliant on one another in some ways?

image designers are just as needed. they are becoming very rare even now. everyone wants to make their character look its best instead of looking fresh off the character creation screen. people in all classes are demanding things image designers cannot provide them. just take a look at the image design forums and their stories, or is that forum just up to appease the masses? there are stories of clients asking for things image designers couldn't give them, and things the image designers want to give their customers. i gave up image design because i got bored, it was stagnant. that is what is going to happen to image design, sooner than dancer or musician.

the devs better wake up and realize just how frustrated the entertainer classes are. sure, we don't have so many bugs, but we want the content! non-entertainers want the content! give us the content!
