Thread: DEVS: How to get people to stay

Cards, checkers etc.. something that adds to the social climate other than looking at cute toon emotes but isn't as grilling as grinding.BTW PvP in space sucks! you get hit once and you're dead and on top of that no one PvPs in space, there isn't any good loot either! why not have a section of space that has awsome loot like new decor and just cool non-ship part stuff but it's overt pvp area only. I'd also suggest reduceing the pvp space damage by 75%. Make it some sort of hotly disputed area where there are many riches in space.Adult Expansion: ok I know everyone's thought it once or twice, wouldn't it be cool if there was a red light district for SWG for adults only? Why not? It's a family game but if it's and 18+ expantion to ensure kids don't get in, just no naked wookies please.. ewwwHope some of this is helpful...
er i dont know why im posting im just bumping it.... but this is SWG not checkers and tic tac toe! :-p. Now if they got the gambaling tables to work well not the ones in the hotel the ones that are on episode 4 in the ship..
oh and for your last comment... perve..
Heheh! A friend of mine was wishing for an adult expansion the other day, and that's what I called HIM, lol

Wookies start naked, its the rodians, sullastans, Ithorians, Moncals, and Trandos that worry me.
id be happy with just coding pazaak and sabaac into the game so you could gamble with other players (for items, deeds, and cash) and not just slot machines 100 creds at a time
they're side-games, but star warsy still, and it'd open up a new facet to the game. Maybe even give an outlet for future smuggler content
player owend and ran Casinos!! hmm... More chance for players to be put INTO the game. They need somthign else beside vendors. MORE ways for the players to feal like they are living in the world not just logging into to kill stuff, and watch dancers.

Well... Id like to see mini-games in SWG. When SWG was first announced back in the day, Sabacc (basically SW Poker)was included in the list of game features. When it was announced that Sabacc was not going to make it into the game at release many of us were very disapointed but the Devs did say that it"may" be a latter addition to SWG.
I also seem to remember a post (probably over a year ago now) that was responded to by a Dev askingif Pazaak (SW Black Jack) could be added to SWG since he enjoyed it so much in KOTOR... the Dev said that it was a possibility.
I personally think it would be a a great idea... esp if they make some of the Pazaak Cards lootable like in KOTOR. You coluld only allow gambelling in NPC City Cantinas and Hotels... adding an extra opportunity for socialising with other players and help bring people back to NPC Cities.
However as much as I would liek to see mini games included... these alone wont make people staywith SWG and there is no one solution either.
- fixing the Jedi/GCW issues
- fixing annoying bugs
- giving us a reason to participate in the GCW
- incorperating JTL into the GCW
- fixing space PvP
- making non combat characters usefull
- giving people something to work towards besides Jedi
- adding new quests
- adding new content
- fixing the 'broken' professions
Some of these things are probably being worked on by the Devs as we speak... but these are the things that will keep people in SWG.
