Politician Archive

I'm quite busy this week, but we're due for a top 5 a while back and I wanted the new changes to settle down *slightly* before polling. please give me your new top 5 (in order of importance). short description optional, but make sure I know what you're talking about if you skip this. top 1-3 from the old top 5 list are still major issues, and I expect those to be in our new top 5. However, unfolding #1 might be a good idea.

please keep the thread constructive. no, I never saw any responses to our last top 5, but take some time to look through some old threads before asking for something that's already in game or have been rejected by the devs already. I'll leave this thread up for a while

#1. Remove skill points for politician

#2. Give politicians ability to create their own type of missions (with various rewards attached to it) for the city. Maybe a pvp tournament, rescue mission, treasure hunting, assasination, assist and destroy, escort, even big city type events like getting attacked by mokks (on dantooine), or a horde of mad ravenous tortons trampling through the city. Whether an npc or a terminal.

#3. Please put the old system back in where the current mayor automatically gets the vote and automatically run, but leave the resign feature in. I don't understand why the new system was implemented. Majority of the politicians just wanted the ability to resign, so not sure why the other part was implemented cause it'll seem more like work for the players or they'll forget.

#4. Change maintenance cost to 3 weeks.

#5. Give politicians the ability to actually become a mayor in the npc city. This would Make the npc cities habitable (IE apartments and such) that can be controlled by the politican and can even give the npc cities a specific perk (and make cities like bestine worthwhile for the imperial npcs by giving them bonus from the stronghold skill).

Anyways just some things off the top of my head that will really improve

EDIT: BTW I'm not a full fledged politician, however I have exp'd a lot of the politician issues, and these are something that would really make being a politician a fun skill. The funny thing is, player cities is one of those vital things in SWG. When player cities fall, this really discourages player. Give these type of perks to poltiicians so they actually feel like a true politician and would be fun.

#1: Give the Master Politician Box any sense. No matter what but to see it empty is very frustrating

#2: I like the idea of making missions like Blackedge has posted above. Or any other additional functions to fill our cities with content. Maybe placeable NPCs for some kind of events. It could be possible to customize the dialogues of them so that a bunch of mayors could make some kind of game with them. (Dunno if someone understand this )

#3: What about the "Mayor of ..." possibility?

#4: Change the system of the city updates. If you run an old city at rank 3 (or other) waiting for an update and you are still capped, other upcoming mayors can place their city some hours before your update and get a bigger chance to get the rank 4 (or other) when its possible.

#5: What about more decorations?

1: City Chat Channel.

you can do this

2:Allow Mayor to see who owns structures in city.

3: Remove Street lights from decoration count.

4: Make Master Politician mean something, additional decorations, crafted missions.

5: Mayor of ... Title

5a: Pay Pappi for all the work she does, great job

my list...

1. Lower or remove skill point cost. I'm all for 2 SPs per skill or something similar, none would be great but I don't see that happening. Also related to this, make all of our skill boxes do something, and rumors fly that some of the specializations don't actually do anything. Lets make sure that if we're gonna pay 50k+ for a specialization that it works.


2. Allow us to examine the sign on a house or something, so that we as mayors can tell who owns a house. I have implemented a house sign name rule in my city...but does that mean that everyone listens? Not interested in the ability to remove a house, but give us a way to contact the owner of the strucutre and talk them into moving it.


3. Craftable missions. Or at least some way of creating goodrole-playingevents in player cities.


4. Streetlamps no longer count as one decoration. Make every 3 count as one decoration even. Also additional garden designs, quest based would be really interesting.


5. "Mayor of Kashyyykur" Title (for me at least :smileyvery-happy

Mayor JoseCuervo - Kashyyykur, Rori - Corbantis
-AoWL - Army of Wookie Liberation

i like the city bullitin board idea, because once cities get big its hard to keep in communication with all citizens. I also think that there should be more of a planetary government, one that might swing the pressence of certian npc's or creatures spawning on said planet. Also... I know this is more for the architecht forum but i can put it here too.... i think each planet should have its own house designs...t he current three(4 if you count gen and cor each) are getting kind of old... id liek a variety
