New jedi are faced with difficult choices of what skills to chose, and how to "live" your life as a jedi. It would be cool to see a sort of ancient jedi master as a blue "glowie" as a new jedi helper(kinda like a helper droid for the jedi profession). The code for making ppl blue glowies did excist ingame, so it shouldn't be too diffucult to implement? Anyways, just my thought.. I know I'd benefit from a little guidence as a tc2 jedi.

I would like to see a few things:


1) No skill points required for Politician Profession, just like the future Piloting Profession.


This will encourage people more to run for mayor of their current player cities, rather than have a mule created for such a thing. There is no imbalance to any other professions by having this one so skill points charged for it is just silly.


2) City Chat implemented.


This would get everyone inteh city involved and a chance for them to meet eachother. It also makes it so they dont feel like an extra head just there so city can have a Rank. Have it something like /cc or /ci for a comand. The chat channels your create just arent too friendly and donthave enough control over it.


3) Merchants or anyone with vendors dont have stuff go in their inventory when getting stuff off.


This is an issue where when we purchase items offered or withdraw sales to relist they go in inventory. We have a stockroom and when half goes in inventory and half is in stockroom it is a small pain. Can it be fixed where everything goes in stock room as it was intended?


4) More ineteraction with significant NPCs int he game.


I cannot stress the fact enough where the main NPCs in the game like Luke and Vader would be more fun if they showed up to a random raid or something. Have them seen doing things in the background other than just stand there in the Themeparks.


Also have ships land and take off frequently from places, like Slave-1 at Jabba's Palace. Milleneum Falcon at Nym's Stronghold. X-WINGS AT THE REBEL BASES, and TIES AT IMPERIAL BASES!


Thanks for listening.

Tomorrow? Tomorrow? Can you include a link to where this was stated? I'm 28 out of 32, shy of app points for #29. Please tell me that your post was nothing more than a joke...

Yes, it was nothing more than a joke. June 8th has been repeated over and over and over and, well, you get the idea. It all depends on how testing goes, but I have seen many a publish roll on schedule, even when not done.

I hope you brought your Asbestos suit today TH. The fires are raging quite largely with the discombobulated push of TC2 on the weekend.

You do know that today is June 1st, which gives you just under a week. Though, with the way TC2 went this weekend, I doubt 1 week is even realistic for this publish.

Yeah. I've picked my head up long enough to eat, check the calendar, etc. All I have left is Pike, BE, and CH. Which if I have to do those, are doable within a week.

Now that Image Designers got some TLC with this last publish, I would like to see some attention thrown towards Entertainers.


First, a completely new buff system that uh... makes sense. No more guesswork when trying to create a macro togivethe full buff in the shortesttime allowable. No more instructions to players on how to activate the buff (ie: typing /stoplisten or /stopwatch). There should be a simple song or dance (estimated 2-3 minutes in duration) which if performed in its entirity andaccepted by both parties, will give a full buff.


Second, a new commandto observe all players currently under your influence (all those watching/listening specifically to you).This menu should listwho is listening/watching, how long they've been listening/watching, ability to block someone from your services, and an entertainerbuddy list which doesnt require someone to be grouped in order to receive a buff from you.

One thing that i would like to see is an experience typebar for faction promotions. The experience bar for skills is great, and giving someone a visual look at how far they need to go for the next faction promotion would be a nice addition.


Something small, but i think worth it.

No vehicle zones...


Make certain content only accessible by foot or mount...


Gives purpose back to mounts and group terrain negotiation bonuses and solo terrain negotiation.


As it stands now if terrain negotiation was nixed tomorrow, I dont think anyone would notice.


It would add content to the content.

Also if we could get our current faction rank shown somewhere, if not out there for all to see, atleast on our character sheet to take out the guess work
