Thread: Cries of Alderaan Status
I understand that other issues have delayed the storylines. The themed published are great, and adding a new dungeon between each publish is excellent news! I can understand there needing to be a few things taken care of first, but please do not give up on the story arcs. It is one of the many things that makes Star Wars Galaxies great!

Just a thought... but with COA coming to an end, and the Empire Striking Back... why not take this chance to start a segway into the ESB time period... it can be gradual and make the final change over at the space expansion. But I feel Darth Vader has been hanging out on Naboo for too long.
Maybe he can be moved to the Executor in orbit of Hoth when the Space Expansion comes out?
Well... just suggestions, but I'd like to start feeling the timeline really moving now.
Yea, well we really don't have to have years between ANH and ESB (is that the right acronym?) and with the space expansion, theres the possibility for the recreation of the Battle of Hoth...
Back to the COA, the rebel side of the last mission seems too hard to really do it without a serious number of support personnel to add onto what there is at the 'factory' and you'd have to be a commando or something to be able to deal with the many STs.....

"If the Rebels win Act 3: A modified version of Dead Eye will be developed and will be remain a rebel faction perk.
If the Imperials win Act 3: There will be no modified version of Dead Eye and the version that relies on Alderaan Flora will eventually become obsolete"
Is it posible that on some servers the rebelswill win and on other servers the imperials will win? So that on some servers the perk remains and on others it does not - or is the the side with the most servers won that dictates the outcome and all of theservers will either have the perk or none of them will?
When we originally discussed this, there was concern about maintaining separate code on different galaxies. Generally it makes testing a lot harder. For the purpose of the Story Arc, we decided to treat it like a U.S. presidential election. Different States (galaxies) may have a different winner, but the all States are tallied up to see who the next president of the whole country will be.

By the way, yes, the Rebel missions are harder than the Imperial ones. The Rebels won Acts 1 and 2. We've created Act 3 to take that into account.
Not to pick on you, Downbeah, but we have said repeatedly (including in this very thread), that it will be adjusted by the percentage of people in a faction doing it. Please help us squash that misconception.

The way I understand it is that the side with the most people who complete it wins correct? So essentially the story arcs are rigged for the rebels to win every time since they outnumber imperials by far. This needs to be reevaluated Q, it's unfair to be won by sheer numbers.
yes a mid month update on whos currently winning (just whos winning not b how much) would incourage others to start and or finish their story arc!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!KEEP OUR MONTHLY STORY ARCS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes, this months story arc is pritty much in game rebel content, we wn the last 2 parts of the story and you "could" say this is our "winning" reward arc... But a new story arc is sopposed to start next month!
Its sopposed to be 3 acts Act 1 imps vs rebels(rebels won we got a faction point bonus for winning) Act 2 Rebels won (no reward), act 3 (if the imps win we dont get the dead eye asa faction perk (either way the faction point bonus for act 1 should go after this month we rebels have had it about 5 months now), (if rebels win we get deadeye as a schematic craftable :-P)
Either way come March 1st we "should" have a new story arc!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Keep OUR MONTHLY STORY ARC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
