Force Sensitive Archive

Here Devs, made it all easy for you. Now code it.

First you tour the world, get something like 30 poi’s. Nothing evolves your mind like seeing new things. Then you try things out, learn some more, and evolve your mind some more. Master 3 professions.

Now after the game have confirmed that you have all those things, it starts a 3 day countdown timer (online time). As the hour grows nearer, you get a higher and higher increased chance of looting a “research pad on an old man” every time you loot a corpse. Meaning, when you start at hour 1, you have like 1% chance of looting it, but if you are at hour 40, you have a much higher chance of getting one. This will cure the, I have to wait around and be bored, because I have to wait for the old man.

Now when you read that note, it will activate a waypoint. Now this waypoint is linked to your character, so if it should be spawned (by you getting near), it will reset if you go offline, but you have to only read the note again to get another waypoint. This will also avoid bugs, in case the old man should spawn inside a house or wall. The player can then solve this themselves.

You then go meet the old man, who tells you that you are indeed attuned to the force, and he would offer to show you the road you must walk, if you are willing and strong enough.

But first, you must show yourself to be skilled, by completing a few things for him.
Now you will get one or two choices. All will get the choice of going the combat route. But if you have a master crafter profession (have to be master), you can get the choice to go the crafter route.

Also, you can only do one mission for him a day. And make sure that if you want your mission reset, you can just talk to him, and he will cancel your old mission and restart it.

Mission 1 :
Locate a crystal that has been stolen.
You get a waypoint, to a sith camp, where the last mob will drop the stolen crystal.
When you return, you will be told to keep it, as it will be needed in the future for you.
Sith are their normal combat lvl and difficulty as always.

Mission 2 :
Find the information.
The old man has heard that there exists a place where those sensitive in the force gather, but would like to know more. He has heard that the sith are currently trying to locate and destroy the place, so your mission is to find the sith, and find the location.
You get a waypoint to a sith camp. After killing them you find a datapad with a waypoint to another camp. At this camp, you will find a datapad, with a waypoint to a sith main camp. At this main camp there will be a leader, and on him, will be a scrambled datapad. Return this to the old man.

Mission 3 :
Get the datapad decrypted.
The old man, has not been able to decrypt the datapad, and need you to take it to someone he knows that can decrypt it. You get a waypoint to his location. Once you find him, he tells you that it’s a very strong encryption, and he needs you to locate something for him first, before he can do this. This will give you 5 different waypoints to search for a decrypter code. All waypoints will spawn some sort of sith camp. And every sith will have a percentage chance to spawn the code. Once you kill one camp, it’s waypoint will be removed, and you will get a higher chance on the next camp and so forth. If you make it to the 5th camp, and kill the last mob, there then becomes a 100% chance for looting the code. Return it to the hacker. Receive the decrypted datapad, and return it to the old man. He will then tell you the location of the village, and give you the mission to go there. (village will now be unlocked for you)

Mission 1 :
(the old man will see at which crafting professions you currently hold a master in, if you suddenly have changed your profession to no masters in crafting, he will give you the option to go combat instead or leave)
Now he will give you a 1 use schematic, based on one of your master crafter classes (random), and give you a waypoint to where 1 component can be found. At this waypoint, a container will spawn, and you can loot the item. Return to the old man, craft the item. Give it to him, and he will give you a crystal in return, as you will need it more than he does.

Mission 2 :
The old man need to know the value of certain materials used for crafting lightsabers. He gives you 4 waypoints to places where you need to go sample for certain materials. Get 400 of each. Once this has been completed, you can return to him, and he will take the samples, and tell you that you did good.

Mission 3 :
The old man needs the materials taken to his friend, so he gives you a material package, and a waypoint to his friend. Once you get to the friend, he tells you that he has difficulty in crafting this item, as it poses quite a problem for him. You can tell him you can take a look at it, and he will give you a one use schematic to craft for him, along with the material package needed. Once crafted, he will ask you to take this item with you to a certain area, to let it soak up the mood of the area. The area will be some sort of holy place or something, far away from everything, and you have to stay in the area for 10 minutes. Return to him and hand over the item, he inspects it and returns it to you to give to the old man. The old man, once he gets the item, gets a force vision, because of the strength of the item. He is then able to tell you the location of a village, where people gather to learn more about the nature of the universe and the force. (Location of village and access given)

Now, following the new way to get force sensitive’s example, we should remove the xp grind, and make the entire village a series of quests. It would be way too long to spell write out here, but if the dev’s would like it, I would be more than happy to write it out. For free even.

But basically, look at the way the quest in phase 3 for ranged defense works. You have 8 missions to complete, and you can only do 3 a day.

Now extend all this so you no longer need to grind xp for all the different boxes and unlocks. It is all missions.

Let’s say you want to do the ranged defense unlock and earn the 4 boxes. This is the new way it could work.

You talk to the guy that has to do with this branch. He gives you a quest like he always does to track down the sith. Again you can only track down 3 missions a day, but instead you have to wait 3 days before you can do the next one. So this should take you 6 days to unlock. So that is 6 days out of the 21 days there is in a phase. Then you have to earn the 4 boxes. To get one box, you have to do a series of missions, let’s say 6 missions. You can only do one every day. So one box takes 6 days, and an entire tree takes 24 days.

This would still take the same time that the current grind takes, but make it all more fun, and make it possible for people that don’t have 10 hours a day to grind, to become a padawan in just a bit more time than the grinders. So it would still make the way to jedi long, but would make it fun, and equal for all. And would no longer give a fast way to do this.

will be cross posting this in the development forum....

but what do you think?

The SoE code :
SOE improvement is a lie, there is only nerfing.
Through nerfing, they gain whines.
Through whines, you gain gankings.
Gankings, leads to sploits.
Sploits leads to banning.
And banning sets us free.
