monstaLulz Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I think it would be so cool if, when you hit 50, take on an actual apprentice. You could send him/her off to do tasks. Even cooler, have a real player as an apprentice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seven_deadlies Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 1) You gain several peons you can send off to do tasks... they're called Crew. 2) There are a number of guilds structured around the Jedi or Sith ranks. For some, when you join, you're considered an Initiate. You can rise and become someone's Padawan/Apprentice. Later you become a Knight/Lord, and eventually a Master in your own right. Point being... you don't need the game mechanics to "give" you stuff, when RPGs allow you to make it up for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthZak Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 What you described is a crewmember What would be cool is be your own Master/Padawan Captain/Crew Lt/Rookie (depending on class ya see) where an alt can get tutelage under one of your 50's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ifrica Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Welcome to the world of roleplaying, where everything is possible when you use your imagination i play with a real life friend and he is my padawan, and when we speak we do it RP wise, and it's really alot of fun, in general chat etc we also speak of Master/Padawan when referring to each other etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powrtech Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 This is just another example that i feel like could be accomplished if they gave SWTOR a more sandbox feel. One of the arguments against making it more like SWG and sandboxy is that "that's not the kind of game SWTOR is, SWTOR is an mmorpg for raiding and pvping" and I HATE that statement. SWTOR should be more than just another mmorpg, atm at max level it's exactly like WoW, just doing dailies pvping and raiding. I feel like it needs to be more open world, and this idea is great I would love to see this and if they made the game a bit more sandboxy i bet we would see this.

Jtrop Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Isn't that like Nadia Grell for consulars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izorii Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I think every Jedi/Sith character gets at least one apprentice. Of course once you do their story line all you can do is send them off on crew missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seven_deadlies Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Isn't that like Nadia Grell for consulars. Exactly... - Consulars get Nadia, though not until towards the end of their career. - Knights get Kira a lot sooner. - Smugglers don't get an "apprentice" although they get their own Chewie! - Troopers get Aric right away. - Inquisitors get Ashara and Xalek both. - Warriors get Jaesa. - Agents get Vector. - Bounty Hunters get Torian. So... it would seem, your request for an Apprentice, has already been answered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstaLulz Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 Im not specificly talking about a crew member, but i guess the apprentice would be a companion. I am talking about the apprentc being apart of the story. Sending him off to do tasks is apart of the story. And I just had a thought. At 50, you can go to Tython and choose an apprentice. He/she starts at lvl 1, and the apprentice works his/her way up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mithriltabby Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I haven’t played City of Heroes, but my friends who did spoke approvingly of mechanics that let characters of disparate levels group together— I think it was “sidekicking” to bring a lower level character along on a higher level adventure, and “mentoring” to limit your high level character so they weren’t overwhelming on a lower level adventure. Mechanics like that would be very handy for teaming up with friends when you don’t have an alt with a matching level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaximusRex Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Haven't played Jedi all the way to 50, but Sith Side Warrior and Inquisitor both get an apprentice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstaLulz Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 Haven't played Jedi all the way to 50, but Sith Side Warrior and Inquisitor both get an apprentice. Yes, I know. But they dont feel like apprentices. They just feel like normal companions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthZak Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 RPing is the way to go Remember that this game is fully voice acted meaning that every new addition like a character would need a new voice, script, files, contract etcetc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ifrica Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Why do you need to be on an RP server to roleplay? is the server type restricting you from playing a role? we do it all the time and i'm on a pvp server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seven_deadlies Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Continuing the RP aspect... Your Legacy lets you arrange all your toons in a family tree. So... after you finish off that 50, go roll a new toon. Call it the 50's apprentice, and put them under the first in the tree. Taa Daa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there aren't really any rp guilds on a pvp server well i don't need a guild to role play, i always role play with people i encounter, and you'd be surprised how many actually rp with you, even in FP groups or black hole area.. and if i'm not mistaken TOFN has a few RP guilds, maybe you could make a topic in your server forum to ask if any rp guilds are around, they might not always check general for those questions, or it just gets lost in the spam.
