Which new features would you like to see on Awakening?

[Turin]

I have been looking through alot of the suggestions over the years i have been here and there has been some really good one's from a lot of players and here are some and some that i thought of also. Apologese for the 3 posts but not every day a thread like this comes up and i have plenty of ideas.

1. House pack up: I know last i spoke to a dev that you guys needed someone who knew the coding for this, be amazing to see in game.

2.Guild Sigils I have covered this before in the past and here is the link with more info: viewtopic.php?f=41&t=5635

3. Player Bounties: Has been discussed in the past and debated best way to implement such a system but would definitely spice things up and give the BH's abit more to do with there time.

4. Bazaar Item and duration: Royan brought this up in the past about upping the item limit players can add to the bazaar and the duration from 7 days to perhaps 30 days.

5. Bazaar Bid limit: Gozuko brought this up in the past about increasing bazaar max from 20k up to at least 50k.

6. Enhancement terminals in player cities: As the title say, maybe only accessible at master politician but would be great for player cities to have this option.

7. Attachment device: Now this one is a brain child of my own and i am not sure how anyone would think of this one but going to put it out there. So 25 is the cap for all tapes and people collect all the small tapes and mash them together, why not have as a very rare loot drop a device that when used can mash tapes together like for example a defense vs dizzy 8 and 7 put into the machine can be made into a 15 tape. Now this device is also only useable by say tailors for CA's and armorsmiths for AA's. Would be very hard to get and a useful tool. Need peoples thoughts on that one?

8.New Species/race's to play as Pretty much what the title says, i know there is other servers that have implemented other race's to play as be cool to see here also.

9. New Vehicle's and mounts Be cool to see few more vehicles, i know with the vette we will get av-21's but maybe the skiffs and barc's, and some new mounts like a kimo or few other unusual mounts.

10. Exteneded event promoter items Currently the event promoter props have a life span of 8 hours, maybe extend to 24 hours even if it means paying more for the item.

11. Custom Kits' for jetpack and AT-ST's we have droid and vehicle customisation kits, be cool to see these also :-)

12. Rebel equilivant of AT-ST Imp's have AT-ST's, would love to see a rebel equilivant of something similar.

13. House capacity of rare houses The housing cap on bespins and mustie bunker is a 4 lot currently which should be 900 cap, (excuse the bespin as its bugged atm reported already), for buildings of there size and how well you can fill them maybe increasing them to a 5 lot building to let them get 1200 capacity.

14. Treasure Maps Would be great to see these in game, would make foraging even more used and a good way to add little extra's in.

15.Bandoilers as Containers I love backpacks, but would love to see little variety so maybe make bandoilers as containers so we can wear with a purpose. Doesnt even have to be 50 space maybe half of that at 25.

16. Remove alum gel and rebreathers This one is more of a personal request, i go in the dwb alot (my 2nd home), now i get that the alum gels and rebreathers need to drop for the quest, but maybe remove them from the wraiths,bloodguards and ghosts loot tables. There is nothing more depressing than killing one of them 3 to get them 2 items, id rather just get credits lol. Now keep them in the other blacksun and droids, but seeing bloodguards,wraiths and ghosts are meant to be step ups, kind of makes sense really.

Thats everything i can think of atm, thank you for hearing me out and if any of them get your attention be great if they dont oh well at least you read them :-).

Love to hear feedback off others.

Treasure Maps are ingame at the moment, just there are only 3 tipes instead of 20 or 25 that where in live. Mike

[Turin]

Oh right never seen or heard of any before. I'd seen the treasure map from the scythe quest but none others.

These 3 you speak of just foraging?

[MikeMike]

Yes, but the drops rate are low, like 1 in 2 hours or so for a Master Scout. Mike

I like it, I would cap it though at say +15 or something (so say you combined x2 +8s it would still cap at +15) that way it still makes it worth while farming high end mobs so you can farm a single tape or combine with the device to use 2 or more tapes

[Sionix]

Voted Other..
My soul for a vendor RELIST Stockroom button and a Vendor search!
Med centers and Theaters to be more useful.. theaters would be great if you could maybe use them as in town ID tents? I think Turin suggested this a long time ago.

[kithsyn]

I once worked for a world-class organization that every year asked for feedback from their 300-400 employees. And at the end of the year, they would post their response to each individual feedback. Pretty remarkable. This request reminds me of that positive culture.

I would say some combination of Artis' and Turin's feedback.

Thanks for asking!

[Tardaan]

A couple of things I would like to see.

1. Player Bounties (non-jedi) - This would add a little spice to the game. Imagine if a jedi was killed by a BH and then could in turn put a bounty on the BH that killed him.

2. City Plan - Allow Mayors to do some form of city planning. Make no build zones or marked streets, make dedicated factory or commerce zones or even zones for specific types of building (eg naboo, correllian etc). Allow Mayors to mark a building "condemned" and it disappears after 3 months if the owner doesn't log in. This would clear up some space in cities for new residents.

3. Increase the listing time on vendors. All crafters know the scourge that is 'vendor vomit'. I'm not saying it should be taken away, but maybe the listing time could be increased so that people with multiple vendors weren't facing this almost daily. Or at least a way to re-list items quicker and easier.

4. ID - Allow the placement of a salon by an ID in a player city, maybe at Metropolis level.

5. Furniture - As has already been said, more please. More designs, more colours.

6. Scout & Ranger - Making these a bit more worthwhile. BF can be healed in camps, maybe a small bonus to healing in a camp that increases with the more advanced camps. I saw another suggestion for Rangers to be able to track the bigger (fatter) mobs, this was a good idea.

7. Hero quest - This is a personal one for me. Please increase the spawn rate or something. Maybe it's just me, but I no matter what time of day I try, I cannot find them. I have researched and roamed but to no avail. The only one I have is intelligence.

Thank-you

Love Turins 'little' list

Don't spend too much time on 'balancing' acts : the past has proven that this doesn't really works. Professions and strengths of the game are what they are, don't mess with them (too much)

Love the idea of Player bounty : worked great in the old days and..gives BH something to do besides jumping jedi. (love to see BH hunting BH will stand by with my jedi and enjoy that show)

New Planet has a lot going for it also

Far easier to adjust code on already written classes than it is to create some of the ridiculous requests in this thread. Considering the poll, it's arguably the easiest thing to do.

Some could say it's as easy as macro'ing wafers


Sorry dont wanna derail the thread but I couldn't resist XD

[Cynar]

Quick reminder about being nice again. People are welcome to post what they would like to see for improvements in here, regardless to whether they are impossible or not. I always have would-be developers who like to pop-up and tell us how easy some things are, and never bother to volunteer any time..........remove your mouth from your ass area!






For those who fail to understand my last sentence it simply means to quit talking out of your ass and help

[Drakathos]

General stuff
- Vendor relist
- City ban list command (if there is one I sure as heck cant find it)
- Make the dark jedi masters etc. attackable for everyone. (this also prevents a known bug with them)

GCW
- Make everyone factioned red to opposite faction, you either are or are not.
- Make player bounties possible. (bit of a stretch with all the coding involved).
- Tone down CM poisons or beef up resist. (A,B,C + Area A,B,C = 2-4k tick to a player and takes 24 seconds to throw all those)
- Make everyone wearing pink hawtpants immune to all damage.
- There must be something wrong with pvp damage even between normal toons, either it is because armour is ridiculously high quality or that the damage mitigations are off, if the only normal classes able to do any damage are rifleman and swordsman with a really good PH it feels a bit off. Of course the doc and ent buffs play a big part in this since basically the secondary stats have become obsolete part from mind stats since its a % buff.

[jonnyfurious]

Pretty much every idea so far is great. I voted for profession revamps. Everyone has their own ideas of what that would look like, but I would like to see a few of the obvious professions that need some love.

Pikeman - This should be the melee glass cannon, but weapon selection hinders it a lot. Pikeman needs a heavy armor piercing pike. There should be a pike that takes a reinforced core/geo core/Acklay bone. There is also a case to be made for a stun pike.

Carbineer - Why can you speed cap a Rifleman with 9 points, but you can't cap a Carbineer with 25? Carbineer needs to be able to shine in some role. No group has ever gotten excited when someone says, "I'll bring my Carbineer." I'm not sure how to fix Carbines, but I know it needs fixed. In a perfect world, I would give master Carbineer an ability that would freeze a target and allow a group to focus on other MOBs. This would at least give Carbineer a role to fill in group, plus it is a skill the game is desperately lacking.

Force Sensitive - These skills are modest at best. They are nothing more than speed bumps on the road to jedi. They also force jedi to spend points on skills that really do nothing for them. On Awakening the skills that would be useful for a crafter, force established crafters to drop their profession and slog through the unlock process. This puts established players at a disadvantage. Additionally, the bonuses are not worth the huge time investment required to get them. I would suggest giving the master FS boxes some real punch. You could add a 10% increase to Entertainer and Doctor buffs, 10% increase to slice quality and 10% chance to influance the type of slice, and a 10% increase to crafted item quality meaning 10% more damage/protection/BER over a normal crafter. At least that would give players a reason to drop master crafting/Ent/Doc etc. skills and jump into the grind. You could even add a couple combat abilities (like that freeze I mentioned) or some legitimate damage or defense mods, ones that actually make a difference in combat.

I know this is pie in the sky, but the whole FS system was put in place to hamper players, not help them. It was a fix to try and remove some skill points and have them spent on throw away skills.

Give me a reason to spend months on the FS grind. Make the big time investment worth something for those that don't just want a jedi.

[obimaul]

far as jedi go I think lightsaber damage should be increased to 800ish max damage. Lower cert for traps or find some way to allow BH to use skill points for other build types.

[Kelec]

I voted for FRS as it's something I've been waiting for here over a year now.

I should have probably voted for class revamp though, or maybe GCW.

[L4TCH]

I think a good solution for BH to find more Jedi to hunt would be to enable an option for BH's to not get seen when they come/are online. The element of surprise is a BH's best attack. This would solve the issue of having more bounties to hunt since most Jedi log after a well known BH comes online.

Wouldn't mind seeing the Wookie planet Kashyyyk

Yes, if you put someone on your friend list you see if is online, even the person didn't reciprocate the friend status. You can even have the same name on both friend and ignore list . The friend system seems to be glithced on multiple levels. Mike
PS. Voted New Planets btw.

[fuz028]

So making my way back here after a hiatus and decided to put in my vote.

I voted for class revamp.

I see several folks with the same train of thought and several bounty hunters concerned with the fact that jedi are getting scarce. Why not entice people to play jedi more or make the unlock little easier. I for one have been stuck at 6/7 for quite awhile.i have mastered 5 or 6 professions and have tons to drudge through. i have all poi save pool under fort tusken, and all the themeparks done. I have never played a jedi cause i could never unlock no matter what i did (i am mainly a solo type player). Not sure what can been done to make it a bit easier to unlock but in doing so more people could unlock and more jedi would be on the server for BH to hunt.

Without starting a big debate help the jedi and want-to-be jedi community and in turn help bounty hunters and the whole server. More people in all means more commerce and more money for the crafters, so on and so on.

Creature handler pet could get a taunt increase as well. one thing that always bothered me was going in to a fight and the pet would just attack and not be able to keep agro. Weather your range or melee the mob would run right to you and ignore the pet entirely. Make the pets useful like in others games, but not over powered.

Thirdly off topic i like the idea of more endgame armor types to choose from instead of comp. Make all those other armors worth something.

i private messaged you as i didnt want to be apart of a discussion when this thread is about something else.
