TORWars Podcast #152: The Terrors of Nuturing the SWTOR Community
Enjoyed hearing love for Pazaak and mini-games from Darth Sunshine. Made my morning. Thanks!
We MUST have us some mini-games! Starting with Pazaak. This I have decreed. Are you listening BioWare? Darth Sunshine has spoken!!!!
I really want minigames too but I think of all the things people want it is probably the one with the highest risk of people saying it sucks when they actually get them.
I thought pet battles in WOW were gonna take a lot of my time but now I don’t play them much.
When I found poker in Far Cry 3 I thought I would play it for hours but then I only played one game. (Although it was because the AI makes it impossible to win when there’s only you and 1 guy left cos he keeps folding when there’s only like $9 in the pot and he has $180 left)
So if they put minigames in they would have to be the best dam minigames in the galaxy.
Thanks for the props on the video. I had some fun putting it together. I just wanted to mention the English title of the move is called “Downfall”. The movie itself is actually quite good. I also wanted to mention although I made this video the spoof of this scene replacing the subtitles is or at least was popular a while ago. It’s an Internet “meme”, I think it’s called. Lol I don’t know. Just wanted to mention. Anyway I had fun doing it while I was fighting through the flu. My fave is when they argue about their ops group.
Thanks for the shout out guys! You even pronounced my name right! Here’s hoping they get server transfers in soon so I can join the guild.
SGR – how many players realy waiting for it? Maybe 5%, 50% don’t care, 30 hate this idea.
How many waiting for mini games, more flashpoints, rework over PvP? Probably 99%.
I’m not taking any side, just make a point. Pls focus Ur resources on important things for more then few percent of pleyers.
I’m waiting moust for guild features.
I disagree about server transfers are a hot topic amongst players. If you are a player you only have 2 options really with server transfers, go to a new region or change type of server. I understand it amongst your guild, if I had joined maybe I would want it too, I don’t think amongst most players this is a big feature. I really don’t see it being as big a feature that will be as popular as some think it is. Similar with Guild Calandars and things, if I was working at Bioware then that would be very bottom of the list of things to do alongside adding ingame voice chat. Why add something you can get from somewhere else, you guys should well know if you want a guild calandar sign up to enjin or (dare i say it) guildlaunch.
About Companion SGRA’s they will never add that to current companions. What would happen, reopen all the companion conversations for people that already finished the game and now want to romance a companion of the same sex. Make you reroll to see that content, either way would come with complaints. If you ever get that with a companion it will be a totally new one.
My top 5 subject for bioware to discuss.
1. Class story continuation.
2. Flashpoints. What happened to all the rest of the Hard Modes and why haven’t we seen a new one for 9 months now (and maybe not for over a year).
3. The prices in the cartel market.
4. Bugs.
5. Guild Progression.
I wanted char transfers before I joined the TORWars guild, trust me its a much bigger issue then you think RS2. They even said in the state of the game that it is one of the most asked about issues.
So while you may think it is just our guild, you would be surprised how many people want it.
put me in the server transfers are priority 1′ camp. i started on the rp-pvp servers, and loved the cut throat FU atmosphere early on. but these days all that happens on jung-ma is people lvl to about 15 and then wz to 50. there’s still raids and fp pugs, ect. but mostly from nar-shada on its pretty dead outside of fleet. most people i chat with there say they are just waiting for transfers to move to other servers.
as for sgra, i am very happy they are in ROTHC. that was what finally got me to cough up the $10 and preorder. i do still want BW to do more in depth sgra with a companion at some point. but this will do for now. i concede that it’s gonna have to be with a new companion that is universal like HK. best way to do that i think is to make it one of each gender (maybe even a third androgynous alien for the really freaky) but not increase the number of deployable companions so there is no advantage to getting one or all. and make them all the same role (i.e. all ranged tanks) for the same reason.
i would also like to see a booster that actually cuts lvl’ing xp. maybe trading xp for increased credits. i personally like doing most of the content on each planet. racing to 50 just takes a lot of the fun out of the game for me. but then so does getting 4 lvls ahead of the npcs.
lastly i would like to see them slow the 6week cycle to 10 weeks. after each update, all coding stops and everyone works on bug squashing for 3-4 weeks before working on polishing the next coñtent release. that’s prolly the biggest issue facing the game now is the bugs are multiplying at alarming rate. dunno if events should be counted in that cycle or not. but 3 events per year would be nice. more than that and they begin to lose that ‘special’ aura. repeating the rackghoul event would be awesome simply because in reality, plagues like that do break containment from time to time. definatly need to move it to other planets to keep fresh each time. every 12-18 months would be my timing on that.
biggest thing i’d like to see in game is the shared bank for all my characters! would help a lot…
I would love to see some development on the legacy system too. Perhaps an option to have other characters of yours on board your ship at any given point, either purely for cosmetic reasons or screen shot lols, or as daily mission givers or something. I would LOVE to see my alts in the world while I’m controlling my main.
And I for one would love to have really simple, really basic chains of missions for my assigned class as daily’s. Like, if I’m a bounty hunter, give me a random spawn on a random planet that’s hiding out in some cave. Fly to that planet. Kill that mob. Profit. and repeat. I think that would be so cool.
Hi ppl!! Recent fan of podcast here…thx for your effort keep it up.
For me Guild Headquarters are a no brainer… c’mon!!!
Have exclusive guild HQ’s in the starting planets that are massive palaces, and crapy smelly apartment blocks on DKaas and Coruscant. Create requirements such as number of heroics or ops played with guild members, crafting, creds rent, i da know!!! With that guilds can improve their HQ’s and jump from planet to planet with higher requirements.
Just an idea…
