Is it possible to haveyour default selection as the pre-designated cloning spot instead of the closest. When I die when I'm lagged I will usually trigger the default cloning center because I'm hitting esc or enter. What happens is if I'm at my player city I get sent all the way back to a standard city. It can be quite an annoyance with the wounds I take and the travel time to get back to the player city.

Welcome to the weekly Open Discussion thread. I know raising the idea of "new concepts" is important facet of our community and the Weekly In-Live thread has worked out very well, so I'm betting its a good model for this forum as well


For the In-Concept threads you see in this forum, please stay on topic in the specific threads so we can get focused feedback; consider them "Focus Threads". If you have general questions about the process, new concepts or other types of comments, pleasepost themin this thread.

I would like to see more interaction of proffessions with the jedi.


Iunderstand that the Jedi is a solo class. but Jedi like to shop as well.


- Maybe a Image desesigner can Polish force crystals for so extra bonus's


- "Jedi was here" Tshirts for tailors.


- allow Master artisan's Survey for Force crystals.


- Squad leaders get better exp if a jedi is in the group.



I am all for the solo abilites of the Jedi, but for those who never get or never aspire to be one, there should be some hey I helped a jedi...

Master Elite Prof 3,891,000 exp / 4200 exp = 926 Rancors for Master Elite anything
Master LightSaber 15,280,000 exp / 1000 exp = 15280 Rancors for Master LS

I don't like the idea of master artisan's being able to survey for force crystals. It would create more macro users who go AFK.


I don't think Squad Leaders should get experience bonuses if there is a jedi in the group, but i do think they should and the jedi should get some sort of bonus. It would get more people to play Squad Leader (currently i don't see them that often because there aren't enough benefits).

Do something to allow Jedi to either craft or harvest their own crystals. There is absoltely no reason we should have to use our main characters to camp insta-spawning meatlumps all day on Corellia.


There are numerous ideas on the Jedi forums as to how to implement such a system.

I would like to see bazaar and player vendors automatically calculated, display, and allow sorting for"credits / unit" (where it makes sense of course).


So, to make sure the idea is understood, if Iput 1,000 units of copper up for sale at 2,700 credits, then SWG would automatically calculate that this sale is running at 2.7 credits / unit, and that would be displayed in the vendor item listing, and that data element could be used for sorting, like some of the other data elements in the vendor listing.


I ask for this because credits/unit is sometimes the key driver for what I decide to buy.


Thanks!

TH,


Can you please clarify for us if the result of a covert rebellion member beign scanned in the crackdown? In your earlier post on it you stated they would be made overt. This would seem to be very incongrous with the rest of this game. Did you mean to say TEF?


Thanks,

I wasnt whining! but you are. the point is to try to be constructive.


I rather promote an idea then go on and rant about how someone else's features where achieved. Being a jedi is no different then other profession.


your needs and concerns are different then mine, and when and if you open your slot, you will find your needs will change. you wouldnt expect people to jump all over you?



cant we all just get along?

How about small HAM increases with each skill box gained. Maybe even limit this to elite professions only.


By small i mean around +25-50 for primary stats such as health, action, and mind, and around +10-15 for secondary stats such as willpower, constitution, and stamina.


I was also thinking that if you drop a skill box you lose the HAM bonus for it until you get it again, or get a diffrent one of the same level.


Thoughts?

If you don't have your Jedi slot then don't even kid yourself into thinking you know what its like to play one. I'm a 4/1/1/1 Jedi right now WITH THE ****ING TRANING SABER BECAUSE I CANT FIND ANY CRYSTALS and for christmas sakes my main char(master pistoleer) has killed about 2000 meatlumps in the past day. How do i know 2000 is accurate? Cause i get 1xp for each kill and when i started i had 242k pisol xp i now have 244k... 0 drops in 2000 kills? I am not paying you 13.95 a month so i can macro meatlumps. Yes, I have jedi, but I cannot actually PLAY him because I have a weapon that does 100 damage instead of a lightsaber that should do around 1000 damage. I basically cannot play my jedi until I find a single crystal or buy one for the friggin exorbitant prices they're going for.


Oh, and thanks for stealth nerfing the crystal drops with that last hotfix.

This isn't a new concept, but can we have the names back on our Active Waypoints please? I don't know why it was changed. It must have been around the same time as the dreaded font change.
