| SWG Summit reports coming in - so far, so good | 2006-04-10 00:00:00
by A Team |
On the official forums, players were posting details about what was discussed at the SWG Summits. Unlike the Focus Group Testing, no one was subject to an NDA. Here's some of the list:
Publish 28 is delayed one week to add in tracking for the PBS and add in short term clone sickness healable by Entertainers.
Publish 29 will have 3-4 vet rewards and 3 year anniversary gifts. Character transfer improvements, non-combat targetting enhancements which will fix some combat trouble too.
30 - summer
jedi and bh expertise systems and story missions
collision system (including jumping, evading, and better LOS)
better GCW base system
revamps to faction theme parks
quest journal will contain BH mission info
quests for lvl 42-44
character transfer enchancements part 2
character appearance improvements (no significant details)
All good changes. Dev's even got in on the act and were posting, answering questions and making clarifications. This info here makes me happy:
So, in case it wasn't clear - the high level plan for modifications to the player bounty system for pub 28 are as follows
* Hunting via droids is coming back
* Player bounty terminals are being re-instated. Bounties will list the faction of the mark. Hunt your own faction and you might end up with a bounty on your own head. Hunt opposing faction marks and gain standing with your faction. Player marks will not have their names listed on the terminals.
* The empire and the rebellion keep close tabs on who kills their soldiers. Kill too many imperial players and you'll have rebel bounty hunters after you (and vice versa) - bounty fees provided via courtesy of the Emperor.
* Players can still explicitly set bounties on other players, as per the current system on TC. This will immediately make the mark available on the BH terminals.
Subject to testing and feedback.

We'll see if any of this makes it to the Live servers, and will it not be completely broken when it does.
