Look Ahead to Pub 28


Hello!

I wanted to share a look ahead at Publish 28 with you. We will be discussing these items further in the Stratics chat tonight, so come prepared with any questions you have about them.



Armor Enhancements


• We are removing armor certifications for all armor wearing classes. This means that any class that is able to wear armor will be able to use Battle, Assault, and Recon armor type, with the following exceptions:

- Mandalorian Armor will still be restricted to Master Bounty Hunters and Master Commandos.

- Jedi will continue to be restricted from wearing armor.

• All armor hindrances will be removed. There will no longer be a penalty for wearing armor.



Armor Loot Drops

• We will be adding more armor loot drops to the game. The power of the armor that can be looted will be proportional to the Combat Level of the MOB.

• These new armor loot drops will use a wide variety of stats and protections.

• We will be adding a much larger variety of clothing armor for all players through loot drops throughout the game, including Jedi exclusive clothing.



PvP Enhancements

• A command will be added that can be used from the tool bar that will allow players to declare from “Combatant” to “Special Forces” in the field. This will take 30 seconds to execute.

• If you are killed in PvP combat by another player, they will be rewarded one of your items chosen at random. This could be either an equipped item or an item in your inventory. No-drop, bio linked, and no-trade items will be exempt from this.

• After you are killed you will have the option of placing a bounty on your attacker. This will deduct the specified amount from your bank account or from your cash on-hand and add the bounty to your killer. Bounties placed on a player will be cumulative, so if multiple bounties are placed on a player, their overall bounty will increase. The bounty can then be claimed by a Bounty Hunter as described below.



Bounty Hunter System

• If the /bountyCheck command fails it will now clear its cooldown timer properly so that it can be used again immediately.

• Bounty Hunters will now be able to use the /bountyCheck command on other players. If the other player has a bounty on them, the Bounty Hunter will be notified of the bounty amount and will then have the option of attempting to claim the bounty. Claiming a bounty will flag both the Bounty Hunter and the target as PvP positive using the existing duel system. (Insuring one-on-one combat.) If the Bounty Hunter kills the target then they receive the bounty and it is cleared from the target. They will also receive the PvP item as described above.



Item Changes

• We will be removing the no-drop, no-trade, and bio-link items off a wide variety of items. These will be primarily quest reward items.



Entertainer Additions

• To allow entertainers the option of engaging in more of the content in the game, we have added combat abilities as part of the progression path. Entertainers will be able to advance through either combat or their normal activities. None of the existing entertainer abilities are being removed, though AI will no longer ignore entertainers.



In addition to these items, we will also working on key fixes and other regular updates that will be released between now and then.



Thanks. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Again, following an excellent pub 27, 28 looks to bring some nice changes.


Commandos are back in action thanks to pub 27, and now BH and PVP is gonna be unleashed once more in pub 28.


Neither of the these publishes major changes have affected me much ( I dont have a commando, and my BH wont be PVPing) but I am really glad to see other proffs getting a good looking at and increasing their play value.


It means more people will play as classes other than Jedi, and that broadens and colours the galaxy for me. I know PVP is a big thing for some players and its nice to see it addressed here.

well not sure if they thought this trough  as i doubt anyone will PVP with the risk of loosing one of there items( i already sense the bug that your whole filled backpack counts as 1 item)


and the removal of certifications and increase in Quality drop armor is just a other blow to the Armorsmiths that were already not very happy with armor not decaying so they will all toghter disapear.


Entertainers get combat so they don't get left out..... i never in my life hear more BS then this sentance, if u want entertainers to interact with the game give them the means to do so by there own proffession, say like the old entertainer buff, or bring Battle fatigue back anything.


Hi there i spend the last 2 years on the eisly ballet school,now i can shoot a flea of the back of a dewback.... sounds like a cheap B movie

I agree with Alas also, which I agree is quite scary.. apart from a couple of points..

1) 'I bet 5 mill that Bricc wins the tourney'

2) I actually own that movie - Star Wars Episode 4.33333 Ninja Ballerina Rampage

hmm todays quest made the game a bit more boring again.


From what i heard too easy leveling by xp now. And all musta spawns are garantueed spawns now so hunting glowies is a lot less intresting too


 


How pub 28 changes some stuff in a positive way for a change

but you forget...

SOE must pander to thier biggest customer, the Jedi playing 12 year olds who go

'Waaaaaaah, I dont want to wait 3 hours for a spawn, waaaaaaah'
'waaaaah, jedi don't pwn anymore, I wann be a commando, they roxxor, gimme a respec, waaaaaah'
'waaaaah, commando suxxor, I wanna be a jedi again, waaaaaah'
'waaaaah, why do I have to kill 900 grauls to level up?, waaaah'

Fix this stuff or my mum / dad / social worker will stop paying for my subscription.

lol yes maybe it is like this... no iam sure it is like this *g*

But i read today something interresting for Traders/Tailors at the german Communety Forum....

a Tailor can set stats at Clothes aigan????? anyone who know that this is right? I would like it as a bloody respecc jedi :P

I wrote also that the Jedi Clothing is bull**** couze the Armor stats dont stack with Cloaks and have a maximum at 5000 ( stacked )

I dont know if its true but i think thats a nice point for elders but not realy a good thing for bloodies like me!!!

But its doesnt matter if the tailor can make stat clothing as well... so I'll make my "alternative jedi" Clothes with stats and i dont have any problems....

Bah... i wish that they make jedi to something special aigan... delete it as "Click Choose" Proff and everyone who whant to be have to grind / doing special things... or anything ( hmm and its ok with me when the elders can save the "jedi" )

I dont like it to be one of the clicked jedis.... but i like the jedi as proff.... ah i dont know...

Its never comming back and i dont get a chance to play it couze i worked for it!!!!!

So iam stay only as a bloody Respec Jedi and i have to be quid everytime couze respect arent good enough to exist.... and the damn jedis r fixed at every publish and the dont work at the realy important things....

Everytime any not respecc jedi is talking about speccs i feel bad /cry


.....

take care

nix
