Is it just mean or does this game need saabac. I dont think it would be to hard to do. Just throw it in as an instanced zone, each zone being a table. I think it would be awesome.

Anyword on if this is happening.

Also dejarak would be cool, but i dont want to sound greedy.

Would be a very welcome addition, but doubt it. All that would be needed would be Sabaac tables in the hotels/casinos, and the fun task of actually programming it into the current game.

.....welll... kinda.. sept the rules of sabacc keep changing and are wayyy to random... i mean the rules arnt even really known.... unless u get a 3p0 droid to explain em to you, we are gonna have to wait on that... as much as i do think it would be awsome!

Even Star Wars movies dont like NGE....

Yoda: Twisted by the Dark Side, young SWG has become. The game we played, gone it is... Consumed by the NGE.
Mace Windu(us): The customers will decide SWG's fate.
Supreme Chancellor(Devs): I *am* the customers!

So this is how liberty is crushed...... by the sound of Tiggs Paws.

I'll miss being a TK

I oppose the NGE and support Holocron Shug and Q-3p0's dream of the way SWG should be!

"When Sony and Lucas set out, we said, ?How can we do this and not make another EQ?? We didn?t want it to be all about Luke, or combat, or lock our players into a class. So we created a system that would allow players to switch professions during the game, and there would be a lot of gameplay around making that change. If you want to go from architect to scout we?ve created a system to make that happen."

You can do a simple google search for the rules, and as for a random game experiance, it cant be any more random, than the random roles that decide if you hit and miss.

dice 1 rolled every 2 seconds, if it rolls a 9 something changes d20

dice 2, when dice 1 rolls a nine, it rolls to see what changes.

You can make 3 things that would change, and each of the 3 have a number which constitures no change. It isnt to hard, logistically. I am by no means a programmer.

I had a few ideas on implementing this HERE. I think it would be really cool.

Especially if you could play whenever you wanted, like when sitting in space
waiting for a Corvette to spawn. Or sitting waiting for group members to arrive
for an event etc.

There was a post about this a while back. A dev even dared to throw in his $.02 on the subject.
I agree this would be awesome.

I've been hoping and praying for mini games such as Sabacc *official correct spelling* and Dejarik *or holo-chess* for the game.

It would add an entirely new element to the game. Crafters would have a way to settle disputes with more powerful combat characters. The over all intelligence of the game would increase as many issues could be settled with a deck of cards or a gaming table.

I'm 100% behind this if there's any kind of push on the player's side.

I'd spend all day in a player run "Casino Hall" if they added REAL mini-games to SWG. Not this stupid text base "You rolled a 12" crap...
I'd be using Zmud client if I wanted that kind of interaction.

I like this idea too. To bad I'm not a programmer. Even Pazaak would be cool. Maybe one of these days.

Better gambling features in the game would be very welcome in my book. Sure, we have the current slotmachines, but come on, how fun are they?

A mix of vs Human and vs CPU games would be super. Sabacc, Holochess, Pazzak would be realy cool to have.

I'd love to see gambling halls, or the "famous idea" Hutt Casinos. SWG has a lot to offer to non-combantants but I think more non-combat features should be added. A whole Expansion with cool non-combat features, like gambling would be realy cool I think. Perhaps the one after ToOW?

What would be cool is I've read there are many differnt rules for saabac (Cloud City Rules, Ex) what would be cool is if every where you went there was a Saabac parlor with the rules from that system.

It would add something else to do in this game. Plus It would be a source of income, and a test of true skill. Although I can see people becoming addicted to the gambling aspect, a whole new meaning to online gambling addictions.

On another note, it would be the first fully graphical representation of Sabacc, I have never seen one before. I have seen the little solitare like ones, but those are stupid, no where near the real thing. I am actually suprised lucas arts has never done this before.

Virrago do you think you can toss a word up to the higher ups. I am also sure players would be willing to study the game, to help design it.

All these games and casinoscould tie into anUnderground Expansion... No im not trying to start a flame war or whine about it, but all this could come along with a Neutral Factionand the whole Underground/smuggler thing that players have been wanting for a while.

Dancers and musicians (to tie insome of the most overlooked professions)could even inspire better luck! Thus giving a big incentive to get a performace froma dancer or musician and certainly pay for it. Imagine a casino where people actually wanted dancers and musicians to play for them specifically so they can draw better cards, or get a chance to win something better from an NPC.

Other ideas:

Smugglerscould try to Pickpocket NPC's - Musicians/dancers could give better luck

Sabaac or any other games - Musicians/dancers could give better luck

Looting or anything where we have a "roll"

Think of the endless possibilities that we could have... Sabacc PvP! FTW!

That would be cool give us all some lovin. I think the option for a band to register with a casino so that you can hear them through the whole place, without having to /listen. That would be cool.

Maybe instead of tailoring to the Jedi population with there expansions, they should tailor to the non-jedi. Just my two cents.
