Thread: Italian Chat Transcript
Q: Campers: like all the other MMORPGs, in SWG people camper in rooms where there is a more frequent respawn, or the most powerful monster. With the Corellian this problem has been fixed (good work!); I'd just want to know if it will be possible to have multiple instance even in dungeons like Warren and Geonosias.
A: The Corvette is "instanced" so your group is up there alone - you won't have to worry about other groups camping. In addition, all of the missions to the Corvette involve a time limit.
That wasn't intentional! I was just answering lots of questions really quickly and didn't read this one closely... So, the *real* answer is:
Right now, we're not planning to instance the other existing adventure areas. However, we do plan on instancing some (but not all) future adventure areas. Hope that helps! ![]()

Q: Are you planning developments and new features for the bounty hunter?
A: Bounty hunter is a very popular profession, so we'll always be considering ways to enhance it. Right now, we're working on a new "Adventure Area" that will provide bounty hunters with some great loot and other rewards.
You are? haha, nice one developers, you may be able to fool the italians...
"Very popular"? hah!
"Always be considering ways to enhance it"? Hah, how about fix it first, THEN think about enhancing it.

Not to "BLAST" SOE in the least. I love this game, don't get me wrong, I wouldn't spend 48hrs a week playing if I didn't!
BUT:
1. This is probably one of the most useful TIDBITS i've ever seen from SOE or one of their forum commanders!
2. Some of the info release is SOOOOOOOOOO sweet. I can't wait for expansion now and so many other topics you've covered. Smugglers actually smuggling something, go figure! SWEET!!!!!!!
3. Now, ???? how to auto-kill afk campers in the borgle cave? hmmmm
Re: the Corvette's relationship to the Space Expansion - we haven't deliberately tried to convey that the Corvette is part of the space expansion. We did add it because we felt that players wanted more "space-based" content, and I think it delivers. There's at least one area where you can look out the windows at a beautiful space-scape... Anyway, we hope it's getting you excited about the opportunity to go into space.
Re: the Jedi interview. This has been discussed elsewhere, but I'll point out that the interview was conducted right after the first Jedi unlocked their slots and, at that time, reflected the feedback we were receiving. The interview wasn't actually published for nearly a month - it was held for whatever reason. Obviously, during that time, the general sentiment re: the Jedi system changed and we were in the process of adapting to that change at the time the interview was published. If the interview had been conducted the day before it was published, our answers would have been very different. Anyway, as most of you know, we're in the process of revising the Jedi system based on the feedback we received late last year (and since).

is the SS of the day the same area you are referring to? ![]()
