Once a solution to the master mission is implemented will Kessel be reverted to PVP? Understand you can end a sizeable portion of the discontent on these boards by answering this.




I don't want to turn this into a flamefest either, so let's just /sign if you want a response. There's absolutely no reason you need to blather your opinion on the matter either way.

Uh, I think it would be easier to contact Thunderheart on his Cell Phone to get an answer to this question.

I made this post because some idiot inferred that the reason we haven't gotten a statement from TH or Tiggs about whether or not this was temporary was because the question hadn't been asked. Now it has....

i'm just suprised they strayed so far from their original plans for kessel.

what was the original plan?

Me too. I was doing my best to stick up for them, and they go and do this. That's the last time I stick up for the devs.

the original idea for kessel is that it would only be acessible by the faction that has most recently won the deep space encounter. kessel was supposed to be a restricted loot heavy zone

destroy the star destroyer = rebels have access to kessel
destroy the rebel space station = imperials have access to kessel

it was supposed to be sorta like Darkness Falls in DAoC. of course they never got it working that way in beta. and of course its intent was pvp

the only thing that i liked about daoc was the contested areas. from the people i know who still play that's the only thing they like too. how hard would it have been for the devs to look at that, and just flat out steal the idea?

i mean they saw the need for instanced content, whipped something up, and left it at that. why does everything in this game have so much potential, only to be implemented so halfassed? take a trip back through every single new feature in the game, and you'll find something halfassed.

pvp in jtl save deep space is halfassed. the areas are halfassed and bland. the ground game exemplifies halfassed, and has for over a year.

it's incredibly frustrating. i know for a fact that this sort of thing could be done, but i also know i'll have to wait well over a year to ever see it. maybe longer. maybe i'll never see it. i don't understand why.

JTL reminds me alot of E&B, except i liked playing my Jenqui explorer alot more

By the way, aren't some of the loading screens still reflecting this?

I know that at the end of beta, most Kessel loading screen still mentoned the freighters...
