-Sirus- Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 The event will occur every major patch and will be on a different planet each time with a different quest set. - The Gree ship is working its way through the galaxy examining different planets. - It doesn't make sense that the same ship would keep examining Ilum. - Same planet with same quests every time would get old - There are 8 or so planets that are concurrently accessible to both factions. - The devs mentioned revising old planets. - We're supposedly on 6 week content cycles. - It would take roughly 1 year to visit each of these planets if one is visited every six weeks - Major patches would be incredibly convenient for deploying the event changes each occurrence It might turn out to be every other major patch due to a combination of not every planet getting visited and attempting to stretch out the duration longer. Nothing to back this up other than trying to make logical sense of the Gree ship's mission. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vandicus Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 As awesome as that would be, I doubt it.Though they could run it and repeat the cycle each year, that's the rough equivalent of 8 daily zones of content. Don't think they could get that done while also working on the regular content patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardwear Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 It would be a great idea as long as its "in addition to" the regular cycle of content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportiva Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 A more likely scenario is that the event will "recur" any time BW falls short of their 6 week update promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Sirus- Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 The assets for the ship, gree, and what not should be reusable. So, it would most be a matter of tweaking a map area on a different planet and writing 7 kill/gather quests. Seems doable to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pscyon Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 - It doesn't make sense that the same ship would keep examining Ilum. - Same planet with same quests every time would get old Daily missions or the ability to re-do flashpoints and operations doesn't make sense either and it does get old. Repeating stuff is kinda common practice in MMORPGs or indeed any game though. I can't see them moving the event to other planets without having to do re-designs every time they do and, without complaining too much, it doesn't seem likely they'd do such a thing given the track record. I imagine they could add/change quests and available rewards, mix things up a little, but the event will probably stay on Ilum. No reason they can't do something with the Gree faction on other planets too though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arunav Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 That would be really cool - but way too much work to ever happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be a great way to bring PVP events to all of those old planets we miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawginole Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Ilum isn't going anywhere. Just the event and the rewards for items that you can buy the weapons with are leaving. The event will move to other planets where the reputation system is running. So since rep system is already in place for Voss and SecX, expect the next events to take place there.

Kubernetic Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Thats actually a quest right now. except 1 faction gets their capital planet. Which quest is this? And it's interesting... "qtr"... quarterly? Is this to be a quarterly event maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkerus Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Which quest is this? And it's interesting... "qtr"... quarterly? Is this to be a quarterly event maybe? Was just telling my friend today this makes perfect sense as a quarterly event. It's the perfect amount of time. It's enough to look forward to but not too much to get sick of.
