    I am really disappointed that entertainers/dancers have no place in the village! I thought entertainers were healers but clearly the senses tree is only for medics! This needs to be fixed entertainers HEAL people not just medics. This needs to be added into the heightened senses category right away. Of course no devs will read this so it probably will never be addressed.

    Here are some answers to your questions! My apologies for the delay it has been hectic around here. If your question didn't get specifically quoted and answered that is because it was most likely asked just in a different way.







    Where is phase 2, what happened to phase 2 and any other question regarding the whereabouts of phase 2.





    Please refer to the Phase 2 post made by JustG







    Can you please tell us what is the definition of allied PC?

    Someone in the same Group, or someone in the same faction?


    thx

    2) This is going to be asked till it gets answered. What is classified as a allied PC? For now I will take it as a faction classification and thats better then nothing. I'm tired of solo hunting. Oh and whats the range? 60 m's, 120m's, 250m's...... my HUD Map doesn't display all NPCs correctly (If at all) so it would be nice to know what kind of range we are talking about here.



    3) Not sure if I like the DB for BH's but I bet you are using the same system that is used to clear a Jedi's mission off the terms. Can this be fixed in the future, I'm sure there are Light Jedi out there that do not want to DB while role playing, right?




    Oh and thanks for the notes! Keep up the communications!

    3. does this mean that using a saber and/or force powers out of range of any npc or pc will notcause visiblity at all or just not as much ?


    thanks for any clarification you can give







    Many of you have asked for clarification on this so we have created a knowledge base article that sums it up a bit better.

    How does Jedi visibility work in regard to Bounty Hunter terminals?


    Each of the following Jedi-relation actions has an associated Jedi Visibility Modifier:


    -Equipping a Lightsaber.


    -Initiating Combat with a Lightsaber equipped.


    -Using any Jedi-related skills that consume Force power.


    All PCs and all non-animal NPCs that observe a Jedi performing any of the above stated actions (observed as defined as within 32 meters) will contribute to an increase in the Jedi's Visibility Value (JVV).


    -An opposing faction member who views this action will add the full value of the action to the Jedi Visibility Value.


    -A Neutral PC or non-animal NPC will increase the JVV by 50 percent of the action's Jedi Visibility Modifier.


    -A same-faction PC or non-animal NPC will increase the JVV by 25 percent of the action's Jedi Visibility Modifier.


    Being grouped with a PC or non-animal NPC who is viewing this action has no influence on how Jedi Visibility is obtained.

    Absolutely, visability decays over time.

    Neutral players: Everybody will impact the same as a neutral


    Rebels: Imperials will be considered non-allied


    Imperials: Rebels will be considered non-allied

    3) Does the Jedi killing the BH (or the BH killing the Jedi) clear that Jedi from the terms, until naturally, visibility puts them back on?









    If the Jedi kills the BH he/she will continue to be hunted. If the BH kills the Jedi then he is clear. (BH's that did not complete the mission will receive "failed")

    I feel for you guys. As a former Smuggler, pulling what, 3 tools out of crates each slice...ugh.



    Not to mention, 3 weeks since the village went live, and the FS Ranged Speed line (and the Melee Speed line)is still completley broken (Ranged doesn't do anything to any weapon, Melee does all weapons)..

    Ouch, yeah. thats rough. Boy, what were those devs thinking when they spent all day trying to get the servers back up when they could have added code that keeps you from having to click 3 extra times.

    I'm sorry but I'm still stuck on this, sorry for my misunderstanding, I must be thinking too hard . So...


    If any average Joe Jedi uses his lightsaber (or whatever)in public, anyone within 32m of him has a chance to give him a TEF? He will be visible? Or does this whole thing only apply for BH and Jedi hunting?


    So is this like jedi TEF?

    Tiggs,


    First of all thank you for the reply, I think you are the first dev to actually respond to a feedback thread with actual information


    In regards to your comment about being clear after a BH kills you, could you elaborate that a bit as it seems your saying your off the terminals, but that isn't what is happening on live?


    Also, the only effective way we have to kill anything in the game is to use force in our saber attacks. Now fighting a lair of spiders on Endor could result in me using over a hundred force specials, does each one add to my visibility? If so, I hope your modifier is really, really small as one buff session could put you on the terms, in essense buff, fight, sit your jedi for 3 weeks.

    So does this mean that the DB by the BH will clear the mission from theBH termsand any BH that had gotten a mission on said Jedi will get a "failed mission" and for the next few days any visability generated by the Jedi will still get them on the terms just at a much lower payout.


    Should add That at the moment of DB -- ALL visibility is cleared .. ie not on terms any more at all .. until NEW visibility is generated ?

    I have a question: when did bug fixes only become publishes? I know publishes also fix bugs but that is not their primary purpose. Adding to the game (not just one little tiny addition) in my opinion is a publish's main purpose. When will SOE start marketing and selling bug fixes as Expansion Packs?


    Where does the madness end?...
