Thread: Friday Feature Pt 2 May 7th 2004 Jedi Archives Volume II
A couple follow-up questions -
1) What will the lightsaber damage type be? (of course)
2) Will Jedi be able to get a modest home? Or all 10 lots? Or nothing?
3) Currently, Jedi mostly are human or Zaback (sp) because of race bonuses - anything done to give a more even distribution to thespeciesused asJedi?
4) Will lightning attacks do electric damage? Will mind attacks bypass helmet protections?
5) Will you still be able to easily identify Jedi from theabsence of mastery badges?
6) Willa bounty hunter still distinguish a PC and NPC through /tells and /tips?
7) Will Light and Dark Jedi have different skills and powers?
8) What does "tuning" a Crystal or Pearl do other than set the ownership to the Jedi and reveal the damage? I feel like there's more to this than is evident. Will Crystal/Pearls now have different damage types (blast, heat, kinetic, etc)?
9) Can the new Robes take clothing attachments?
10) Do Jedi still need to have Doc buffs all the time?
11) Will there be Jedi skills to leap, unarm, and hide?
12) Is there any skill fordismemberment? Say, a skill that has a chance to instantly incap an opponent (as a way to simulate limb loss)
By the way, great stuff. How much of it was influenced by the In-concept forum post?
Seems the question that everyone is starting to ask before I could get to it is...how will crystals and pearls be obtained?
CurrentlyI go to the Krayt Dragon graveyard and all I see isfoul language that would make a sailor blush because of all the kill stealing. This just seems wrong in a family game. Please tell us there will be a more personalized/random method for obtaining these artifacts that doesn't lead such negativity.
I'd love to see us banding together on instancedmissions to hunt for our crystals together.
TH can you give us some info on the robes. Willtheybelike very high qua comp, or have any defense?
Does hidden mean your not going to tell us? lol
I love how everything's going to be except 1 thing. Crystals and Pearls. Pearls should be rare, and hard to come by, yes, but crystals shouldn't be as hard to get as they are now. I've killed countless numbers of NPCs, but since I don't camp the Meatlumps like some people, I never get any.
Is there any way that you can up the drop rate on Crystals for only Jedi Characters? Or if not, give us an ability to go survey around in the mountains looking for crystals? The going rate for a cruddy crystal on Lowca is about 350k,a normal crystal is 500k, and the good ones are 750k+.
Also, I have a question regarding the 2-handed/polearm Lightsabers. Are they keeping the same Twin Force Crystals or is all going to be just Crystals?
I am in complete awe!! Nice job gentleman.
P.S. Make sure we can put our hoods on our cloak!

Current jedi will be Padawan and can advance in the number of skill boxes they had in the old system
Your main will still be your Main character
You unlocked slot will be padawan
For the new people who unlock after publish 10
Your main will be granted force sensitive and will be allowed to advance to jedi
Your unlocked slot will not be force sensitive but will be like your main was before you unlocked.
