I played through it and I had the same question. The answer is that it takes a month to cycle through and get answers for the Political Quest and 2 weeks for the museum quest. I mentioned it to the guys and they are going to add some text to help give players a rough idea of when the cycles end...




Just a couple of ?'s for you, ThunderHeart:


1. Why is the Political Quest duration a full month? Shouldn't it be every week, much like our Political Elections for the Political Class?


2. Any chance of making the Imperial a bit easier to get than? I can see if it takes a month where people will vote for Sean again and again, to get the extra quest and the rug, painting or statue. Meanwhile, it took my brother an hour in the Rebel Themepark to get his. With the low server numbers of Imperials, wouldn't the banner be better to put to use in a easier to access mission by chance?

Dissapointed that it takes so long =\ But I think that's better than every couple days anyway, I think two weeks would have been sufficient, but in a month or two it won't matter as much.



I am pleased that Thunderheart responded to let us know, thank you very much.

1. Well, the developer picked a month because that seemed like a realistic time frame.


2. No. There is a big difference between the minor voting quests and the Imperial/Rebel theme parks...size and demand. besides - - just go play and have fun


Make your game play more than just going to get the items. Explore, look around and try to get the most out of your experience

If I was FOOL enough to give Sean's disk to Jabba's Informant, (dirty little rodian. GRR.), will he EVER trust me again? Does anyone know?

Well, confirmed as a month eh? Thats kind of crappy really. I would have(as Im sure many would) prefered one week, two at the most, as waiting a MONTH after completing a quest to get the reward from it is really not fun. Rather than having viktor give the Imperial Banner as a reward, why not simply have given it as the final reward for completing Prefect Talmont's quest?

Seriously though TH, a month is FAR too long, and the main reason why, is, you only get a reward if your chosen candidate wins. So, were suppost to complete a quest, then wait a month to get a reward for it, and then maybe not even get a reward AT ALL, then repeat the entire process? At least if it was every couple of weeks then your candidate losing wouldnt be such a big deal. PLEASE try and have this timer brought down.

/agree a month is way too long to wait. Make it a week like all the other elections in the game. Hey, it's consistancy!

Bah, I can't talk to anyone in Bestine.


Let alone find clues on where I can get evidence.
