Developer Update: Spoils of War

Recommended Posts

Not gonna say i'm super excited about the Nightlife Event. Since no credits can be used to buy tokens to use. WZ comms ok... But, creds would also bring in the whole feel of a casino, if you know what i mean. The Ops group Finder is just fine, and PvP i don,t mind. (As i don't really do often)

well I hope this means that this will NOT be the only way to get to OPS, I work 2nd shift so my schedule can be a bit strange at times,and the main problem is not the equipment but the skill or lack of it by the PUG players,I have had pug that are great and some that are TERRIBLE,I will admit on some i am very good ,some only so-so. If I am looking to do a full run or weekly I would not want a GF PUG.

I'm just wondering...how many people actually have enough cartel market certificates saved up to do anything with? If I understand, correctly, those are the purple certificates you sometimes get out of a pack, and can trade in for a sure fire, guaranteed reward at the cartel npcs.

 

I think I might have 16 saved on one toon, and maybe 10-12 on my other main. So at max, I have 26 of these certificates saved up. I don't pvp...

 

(*edited this part...apparently we can gamble with credits.)

 

Maybe I'm being negative, but this sounds like a way to get people to lose their cartel certificates. I'm going to check things out, but I'm not much of a gambler. I never really liked the gamble packs, and I'm not fond of losing what little I have to have nothing to show for.

 

Guess I'll just have to see.

Well, that's good news then. I don't read Dulfy, unless I need to. I was hoping the Dev might actually know what he's talking about. The Dev never mentioned credit, as a viable gambling currency. Thanks for the heads up. :)

That was based on the PTS event. When it goes live maybe it'll be changed - it's happened before I believe. That said, I was looking forward to this event, and have been saving up credits for over a week. If it's just certs or wz comms, I'll be adding myself to the pissed off list :(

Why only slot machines? Theres so many other possibilities for a casino setting. Roulette wheels, high stakes card games (Pazaak anyone?), maybe even some sort of floor show going on in the background just to set the atmosphere for this corrupt gambling environment. I mean, am i the only one who sees the extra possibilities in this?

One of the more fun aspects of Nar Shaddaa Nightlife to implement was bringing the casinos to life with ambient spawning, including the VIP area in the back of the Casinos. Here Giradda the Hutt and Baron Deathmark keep an eye on things while Beastmaster from Hutta would like to get his hands on the caged Rancor. With this event, we also introduce some new alien NPC’s to the game, including Aqualish, Snivvian, Ishi Tib, and Klatooinian models.

 

I hope you all have as much fun participating in the event as we had making it, and I can’t wait to see you all on Nar Shaddaa! Good Luck!

I hope you had more fun making it than I had participating. I know I'd be bored out of my mind if I had to make that. I can see how you had more fun trying to bring stuff alive, but with the zero input gambling and nothing to interact with when it comes to your ambiance doesn't make it all too lively.

 

The zero input gambling is too boring. Every suggestion made for gambling involved players actually doing something other than mindlessly click objects and hope for a prize. I hope you can look at those suggestions and upgrade the casino before returning the even in a possible future.

Make MORE GEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why is that so hard to understand?????????????????????? WE WANT MORE GEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Do you always refer to yourself in the plural?

Also, i don't think you used enough punctuation marks. i sincerely hope your crusade didn't deplete your keyboard's supply and that you merely forgot to use the rest of them.
