Thread: Will someone ask in the Stratics chat about the lack of a Mustafar space zone?

Will someone ask if there ever will be one? It seems so odd for there not to be one. I wish the Devs would reconsider on that. I'm really disappointed in that decision and I hope they decide to make one, even if its just a few quests or missions. Heck, none at all, just make the zone and make missions for it later!

No space means no reason to create ground + space quests which will keep the Jedi, the people that the expansion is being marketed towards, happy. Since they are about as afraid of space as an orc is afraid of water.

Someone clearly never Played Man o War!


it is odd, i thought at least it would be like Kash where you could only hyper to it.


Eh shows who the Devs care about most, oh for the Planetside Dev team to work on SWG, at least they posted in the froums as to why things are the way theya re

Was there ananswer this question? I missed the first 20 minutes or so, I did catch them saying there was not going to be a space zone but no explaination about why. I kept sending "Why isn't there going to be a new space zone?" but I never saw them ask or answer the question.

Actually for the last month and a half I've been doing nothing but space quests. I'm going for every fighter squadron at the moment, later I'll do mining, DS, and other space missions. It's about the only content I really care about right now... Ground combat is pretty boring, especially since I don't SF GCW with my Jedi. I use my MBH/MRM for ground missions, but I run precious few of those.

[01:17] [Brannoc] *Lornos* Will this new planet be one you can use a shuttleport to get to or will you have to enter space first?

[01:18] [SpaceRancor] *Lornos* Mustafar will not have a space zone and can only be reached via a shuttle.

just read the above in the stratics chat...


Now there is absolutely no reason for me to buy the expansion..I knew it in my head, but after reading this, makes me sick...


/unknown salute to SOE

Obviously, as they are adding this integral and exciting new planet, adding a space zone would be push it's awesomeness factor over the limit. So they're doing us a favor!

Why the heck would you only be able to shuttle to a planet in the middle of nowhere? That makes no sense at all.

They probably aren't adding a space zone because they don't have time to. Remeber, they're rushing to get this expansion out the door to cash in on the DVD release of Episode III. Its only going to have half as many quests as ROTW, and it sounds like the planet is going to be smaller, too. By all appearances its just going to be a quick money making scheme and not a fully fleshed out, developed expansion.

NEED TO GET TO A PLANET SO UNBELIEVABLY OUT OF THE WAY THAT EVEN THE MIGHTY EMPEROR PALPATINE DECIDED IT WAS A GOOD PLACE TO SEND THE SEPARATISTS TO BE SLAUGHTERED IN SECRET????

WELL...

...GO GREYHOUND!!!


This truly is horse[crap], by the way. Who's betting there won't even be a rudimentary space involvement?

My favorite parts:







[01:23] [Brannoc] *mindwerkz* What was the reasoning behind the xp change, and was the community outcry in any way unexpected given the dramatic effect and the complete lack of warning on the subject?

[01:25] [Rogue_5] The level of change in Publish 22 to the group experience was unintended. We were trying to fix a gameplay mechanic which we introduced with the Combat Upgrade. We heard your feedback and worked to quickly revert out the change.


[01:26] [Brannoc] *Hochkis* Why do you keep putting out expansions and publishes without fixing the bugs in the live game


[01:28] [Rogue_5] We actually have multiple groups working on different things simultaneously


[01:28] [Rogue_5] In addition to the expansion team we have people working on our publishes and bug fixes.


[01:29] [Rogue_5] Some of these fixes include items that have been brought up at recent events.





Uh huh. The big XP change was unintended, after Tiggs told people it was intended? Something that major was an accident of code? I don't think so. Then they follow up with the company line about different people working on different areas, which is quite simply a line. A company chooses how to split thier manpower. And judging by the number of bugs actually fixed on a publish basis, I'm guessing that team is very small.







[01:36] [SpaceRancor] *Khiliko* The battle between the Rebel and Imperials is outside of the scope of the story and events that players will experience on Mustafar. So there will not be any directed PVP content with the expansion. But if I know Rebel and Imperials, they will start fighting with each other almost anywhere.




Umm...wasn't that the point of SWG: A Galaxy Divided? So are they full on announcing now that the timeline is definately taking a big step backwards? Do they realize that about half or more of most people's gameplay revolves around rebels versus Imperials, and they're not going to make that part of the expansion? Do they listen at all to what players have been begging for?


Beyond that, some of the names of people kicked were mildly amusing.

Thats not much of a bet, they pretty much said that by saying wont be any new sectors.

Even if they attached capital ships to it, im not buying it. Fat load of good another POB would do anyway.
