I just redid Jabba's Themepark, and I'm in the process of redoing the Rebel Themepark.


The rewards from Jabba's Themepark? Two thumbs way up guys! Compared to the old rewards (which ranged from nothing at all to crap-tacular items) the new loot is 1000 times better. The Gammorean Battleaxe, and Mabari Steel Helmet are very cool. I also can't wait to get a weaponsmith to make me some Featherweight FWG5s! I don't know whether or not the Rancor Teeth are good or not, since I don't normally go after these types of items, but they seems pretty good.


I've only just finished C-3PO's quests for the Rebel Themepark, and I'm doing the rest tomorrow. Still, C-3PO's reward is much much much better than the old reward. I can't wait to get the rest of the stuff.


The new loot may not all be "uber loot," but some of it is pretty good and very cool. All in all, an great job Devs!

I Love my Tie Fighter Suit, I was praying I'd get that instead of the ATAT one, thank goodness, hvaen't gone past that but the imperial medallion with the resists on it is pretty nice

Ok cannot find a place to put this complaint so it goes in here lol...


Ive never considered my self a whinny BH but come on. Removing the argo spawns (wich fixed every Investigation bugg- almost) has screwed BH missions... People are getting 90% failure rates... Thats is sad..


And can i get the TK knock down since every other knock down in the game is broken.. dont know about force knock down but im sure that one works too..


And BH arnt overpowerd if they cant hit their targets wich i guess is why you make it so i cannt hit the ground if i fall on it...


and please remove scout as a prereq for BH, im not even close to a ranger =P..


And my thought on how to balance the game. remove all special attacks make everyone hit for 1pt of damage to a random pool.. thats sarcasim Btw dont do that..

I've heard that the crafter's apron has an option to give tailors +5 to clothing experimentation! Great!! Except that there is no clothing experimentation.

I hate that different people seem to be getting different clothing schematics through the Jabba theme park. They're already limited use so they'll be rare enough as it is without making it even more difficult for us to get them. Already most tailors can't fight well enough to do the park, so now we have to get multiple people to do the missions and beg or buy the schems from them to even get one of each type of schematic.

Please consider adding quests that we can do to earn some of our own schematics. I don't mind being a little dependent, but we're dependent on combatants for both the schems and their components. So it would be nice if there were at least a few missions we could do ourselves to earn rewards.

Hey man, what happened to Captain Loftus from the Mos Entha hotel? I was looking forward to doing his missions; I don't know why, but I was!

While doing the Rebel Themepark (Corellia) with a friend of mine, I noticed that some rewards are dynamic. Not everyone gets the same items.


After doing the last mission for Princess Leia I received an "Insulated Ubese Armor Helmet" and my friend got the "Insulated Ubese Armor Jacket"


Jacket: Fire-resistance +5, Defense vs. Stund +5

Helmet: Fire-resistance +5, Defense vs. Blind +5


The other stats are not really good, but I wonder how a complete set might look like.

/HUGE SMILE. Way to go guys. I just finished Jabba's and I'm super happy. Thanks for everything. I knew I stuck around for some reason.

I ran through Jabba's Themepark again last night, and enjoyed it. While the missions remained the same (you could have changed up the missions when you did the changes on the loot), it was nice to see some actual cash and decent rewards. None of the rewards are of particular use to me, but I recieved items that are of use to other guildmates that I can pass along to them. I also think having the potrait of a twi'lek female a nice touch, now I have something decent to decorate my home with.


Loot I recieved:


5 Vibro Blade Handles, Mabari Armor Weave pants with decent stats, Potrait of a Twi'lek female, Schematic for a Demolitionist Belt, Schematic for an Artisans Apron, Schematic for something else, Schematic for a "Featherweight FWG-5", Gamorrean Battleaxe with a mind disease, and a decent amount of credits.

It was stated in the notes that New Quests were added to the Singing Mountain Clan on Dathomir. I had done all the quests there prior to the patch and when I went there today none of the NPCs had new quests that I saw... Were the quests there before replaced with new ones? I had been hoping there would be more to do. Also did all the quests at the Nightsister Stronghold prior to the update but haven't been back to check it out.

I completed the new Jabba theme park and had no trouble with anything at all. If i didnt get loot that made my jaw drop (a gamorian battle ax that does 50 mind disease for 9999 uses), i got very decent pay. VERY nice work, and thank you for makeing that theme park worth doing, outside of it being fun!

I have just finished Barada's quests at the mighty Jabba's palace, and I have to say that I am very disappointed. I hoped for more, or at least more intresting quests (but I have to admit, they are much more intresting, than the other static quests). The money for the quests is much more, but I think no one does these for the money. I looted Rebel transmissions 1/4 from the Tusken leader. So far I received some vibroblade components, a not-good-looking drawing and a mabari helmet (wich I won't use). The only good stuff for me is still the Petrified Avian Egg. I still do not know why the first quest is the toughest?

I was happy to see that the Bestine Museum is rewamped I hope the items I collected there last week will not be accessible anymore

I was hoping that I could restart the Borvo quests also, but I could not

I've only done the first leg of the Rebel theme park over, but let's do a little before and after:


Before:


  • A rebel flight suit

  • A rebel commando helmet

  • some other unmemorable junk

After:



  • Some weapon components

  • A rebel ring

  • Ubese pants

I like the ring... think it's a cool idea to have something small Rebs can use to identify each other (even if the bonus is worthless to me, I wear it). I understand Leia giving out Ubese, what with her affinity for it... but it's not really "rebel stuff".


As it was before, I could run the Corellian missions, go to a tailor for a few items and have two outfits that Rebels wore in the movies. I remember way back after getting the flight suit I hit the bazzar for some long gloves and boots to match, and went around looking like an X-wing pilot. The flight suit may be a little... tight, but still. I was happy to be able to look like a Rebel.


We'll have to see how the last 75% goes. If I get a Rebel pilot helmet along the way, all will be forgiven.
