DISCUSSION THREAD for Petition for new content / updates to GSF.

New colors for lasers and engine would be cool!, or being able to use same colors for both in Republic side such as the mint green one.

 

And opening up them up to credit payment would be nice too. They aren't as coveted as dyes and a rigid pricing structure for 1 time use items that I could only assume a fraction of the people who even touch GSF would buy, is simply ridiculous. I want to enjoy the mode and make the most of what I do have, but not so much that I'm paying 400CC for different colored blaster fire for 1 character.

I think this is covered by opening up GSF Cosmetics to be able to be purchased with Fleet Commendations.

Copypasting my dissent from the main thread into this distraction thread:

 

---

First off, please not do discuss this petition here.

 

No thanks, I'll disagree here and there if I have to as well. It's extremely important to disagree with a petition on the petition itself, to make it clear that a united front is not in any way being presented. By shoving dissent into another thread, it makes it appear as if the petition has unanimous support.

 

Second. If you agree with the petition, please just type "Agreed", and then rate the thread five stars. Do nothing else. Do not make comments or give feedback in this thread. We know from previous experience that a clear petition with lots of "yes" votes that is also rated 5 stars, will get the attention of the devs.

 

Good grief, no, this is the worst possible lesson. "Here's how to bully devs, from the time the devs listened to us last time".

 

How come you don't even say how to disagree with your "petition"? Hrm....

 

Here's your idea:

1- New map. This is a good idea. We don't need a petition for it. The devs know that new maps are great. Iokath in particular was really great. Do you think they need a petition for it? Nobody petitioned for Iokath. GSF shares resources with the ground game, especially with something like level design man.

 

2- New mode. I'd like several modes to be added- they could look around at other, similar games for inspiration, many of which started with domination and TDM and then added other objective type maps- but I don't expect it and I don't feel we should demand it. A new game mode is a huge deal, please remember.

 

3- More GSF decorations- Hey this would be neat, but why does anyone need a petition for this?

 

4- More stuff to spend currency on- there's technical difficulties with spending fleet or ship requisition for anything else. This would be nice for them to fix at some point, but at this point it's pretty absurd how much ship and fleet req is stored up, waiting to absolutely hammer whatever aspect of the economy they tie it to, were they to do this.

 

5- Legacy unlock for cartel ships - I don't want them to do this. I have bought cartel ships on many characters, and this is one way I can distinguish myself from someone who is unwilling or unable to do this. I won't be sad if they did this (though I would be grumpy as they would inevitably not throw any CCs my way). Anyway, I bought into it this way, and I hope they keep it this way.

 

6- Completely destroy links between a character's appearance and that character's abilities - Naw , screw this. It's great that if you like a character, you get to put up with their unique ups and downs, and can't just build everything perfectly without any actual tie to the characters being represented. It's really good the way it is now, if anything I'd like more things tied to characters and factions than now. We already lost almost everything that made these characters unique in the ground game, we have absolutely no compelling reason to lose that link here (at least the ground game people had points about access to healers and tanks back then).

 

7- Component deselect bug can be worked around by transferring a character. This should definitely be fixed or worked around (the workaround would be to let the game transfer you to another real or fake server and then immediately back, for no cost). But again, a petition? Screw that.

 

8- Matchmaker Improvements- Yes, this would be a nice thing for them to work on at some point. Matchmaker does pretty good right now though, with so many people playing. It seems to bump around in the dark when there aren't enough players for three games though.

If you like I will add a "disagree" option to the petition. I honestly never thought of it because there are persistent threads asking for this and that on here regularly. None of those things in the petition were my ideas. They are all things I have seen people ask for and by and large comments in agreement with. Seems only logical to put it into one place and try to lobby the devs for some updates to GSF, which we both know won't happen otherwise. People moaned about the state of slicing for years, devs never did anything. One petition, and its fixed.

 

 

 

Here's your idea:

1- New map. This is a good idea. We don't need a petition for it. The devs know that new maps are great. Iokath in particular was really great. Do you think they need a petition for it? Nobody petitioned for Iokath. GSF shares resources with the ground game, especially with something like level design man.

You and I both know GSF will be neglected unless we gently push for it. You disagree, that's fine. You do you. There is nothing wrong with trying to make a collective voice heard.

 

2- New mode. I'd like several modes to be added- they could look around at other, similar games for inspiration, many of which started with domination and TDM and then added other objective type maps- but I don't expect it and I don't feel we should demand it. A new game mode is a huge deal, please remember.
Who is demanding? Its a polite request. Devs didn't get offended at the last one. They even chimed in and said, "great discussion here." Funny thing, they chimed in on the discussion thread, not the petition itself, because they can read more than one thread.

 

3- More GSF decorations- Hey this would be neat, but why does anyone need a petition for this?
I am not going to repeat myself.

 

4- More stuff to spend currency on- there's technical difficulties with spending fleet or ship requisition for anything else. This would be nice for them to fix at some point, but at this point it's pretty absurd how much ship and fleet req is stored up, waiting to absolutely hammer whatever aspect of the economy they tie it to, were they to do this.
Again, not my idea, but I agree with it. You don't, That's fine.

 

5- Legacy unlock for cartel ships - I don't want them to do this. I have bought cartel ships on many characters, and this is one way I can distinguish myself from someone who is unwilling or unable to do this. I won't be sad if they did this (though I would be grumpy as they would inevitably not throw any CCs my way). Anyway, I bought into it this way, and I hope they keep it this way.
Safe to say you are in the minority on this one. I've heard complaints about cartels ships not being legacy wide probably as much as I heard complaints about slicing pre-nerf.

 

6- Completely destroy links between a character's appearance and that character's abilities - Naw , screw this. It's great that if you like a character, you get to put up with their unique ups and downs, and can't just build everything perfectly without any actual tie to the characters being represented. It's really good the way it is now, if anything I'd like more things tied to characters and factions than now. We already lost almost everything that made these characters unique in the ground game, we have absolutely no compelling reason to lose that link here (at least the ground game people had points about access to healers and tanks back then).
We'll just have to agree to disagree.

 

7- Component deselect bug can be worked around by transferring a character. This should definitely be fixed or worked around (the workaround would be to let the game transfer you to another real or fake server and then immediately back, for no cost). But again, a petition? Screw that.
A work around for a bug that has been rather ignored? No thanks. How about just fix it. A petition for a bug that has been ignored? Yep, you bet.

 

8- Matchmaker Improvements- Yes, this would be a nice thing for them to work on at some point. Matchmaker does pretty good right now though, with so many people playing. It seems to bump around in the dark when there aren't enough players for three games though.

Wow, look! We agree! Sort of. Yes it does manage better with more players. Still a hot mess though. Seems to be an ideal subject of a petition.

 

I was prepared for this response from "somebody." So, I will add disagree option on the petition. That's fair. As for the rest of it, we don't see it the same way. I'm happy to leave it there. Petition remains.Your voice has been noted, I am certain the devs will see your "dissent."

There is nothing wrong with trying to make a collective voice heard.

 

This is YOUR voice. You've collected a bunch of things that other people have discussed a bit, and then added some of your own. For instance, there's plenty of people who want free cartel stuff, but very few people asking for removal of copilots. Yet here they are in the same "petition". Organized by you, and no one else.

 

 

Safe to say you are in the minority on this one.

 

Of course I am. You're voting on free stuff, and I'm one of the few players who bought enough here that I'd be punked by them doing this, because I paid to have cartel ships on multiple characters, and you did not. Obviously if they go and give you and everyone else free cartel ships everywhere, I'm the butt of the joke. Being in the minority doesn't make me wrong. I bet if we took a vote to divide your bank account evenly between the forum members, it would be "safe to say you are in the minority on this one" too.

 

A work around for a bug that has been rather ignored? No thanks.

 

You should say "thanks" because I just told you how to solve it if you really care. But yes, obviously they should fix it. This is the only actual defect in all of this, you know- this stupid deselect thing that I don't really think the devs understand exactly how frustrating it is to have to check everything every time you log in or just be missing a pile of upgrades. You can bet if talent trees had this issue in ground game it would be a tier 1 emergency.

 

 

We agree on plenty of these. I don't think petitions are how to get stuff done. If we have to, I think they should be reserved for cases where it has become disruptive, and where basically everyone agrees. Multipoint wishlists strikes me as extremely disrespectful and inappropriate. None of these are prenerf slicing, and the only defect in the list is the component deselect bug. How many people signing "agree" don't actually care about 2-6 of your points but really just would like, for instance, a new map and the bug fix? But by setting it up to avoid this nuance, you create the illusion of mass support.

First of all it's one thing to ask for a specific thing with a petition, but I think it's a very bad idea to use a petition for multiple requests. If you were going to make a multiple request petition, you'd want to track each request separately.

 

Now on to each request.

 

1: New maps/Modes

 

I'm all for new maps of the existing modes, but after playing Star Wars Squadrons, I think a fleet battles mode is a terrible idea, that game had it as it's primary mode and still couldn't balance it. I'd hate to throw that in here, with very little follow up on it and it just be a freaking mess.

 

I think there's definitely room for new modes, but something more like King of the hill (A roaming area you capture for points) or VIP (Some kills are worth more points then others) would be much easier to implement.

 

2: More GSF Decorations

 

I mean sure, but I wouldn't bump this above another map or mode for example, which is why I hate that you put it in the same pile. I'd probably just disagree with a petition for this if it was the only thing, just so they could focus elsewhere.

 

3: Alternate Fleet Comms and Fleet Requisition purchases

 

While I'd be ok with alternate Fleet Comms purchases since that has a cap, at this point I think a Fleet requisition conversion might be a little much since there isn't a cap on that and some players have pooled tremendous amounts of it over the years.

 

4: Legacy Unlocks for CC ships

 

If you're going to add this, I'd say you'd want it at a much higher price since it's not just a cosmetic, it's player power in the sense that you get a second copy of a ship which can be very useful for having alternate builds on your bar. It would also give you ships that were unlocked on brand new characters. Secondly you'd want to refund anyone that had baught all the extra ships, since that's a lot of extra Cartel coins that they spent to get all those ships. Without that refund I don't think it would be fair in the slightest to add this.

 

5: Copilot voices not bound

 

I used to think like you did many years ago, but not anymore. I think it's interesting to have them on select characters, however my suggestion would be to add a second copy of each copilot with different passives and copilot ability, giving alternatives for different setups, while maintaining the exclusivity of voices to abilities.

 

6: Bug fixes and Matchmaker improvements

 

While of course everyone wants this stuff, this isn't a petition type thing. That's like saying we need to make a petition so the loading times are better.

I added nothing of my own originality. Everything is stuff I have seen from other posts and comments, or what I know from talking to other pilots. If someone adds their "agree" it becomes their voice too. Is a petition submitted to parliament (which happens quite often) the voice of just one person? This is semantics.

 

 

Of course I am. You're voting on free stuff, and I'm one of the few players who bought enough here that I'd be punked by them doing this, because I paid to have cartel ships on multiple characters, and you did not
.

You're assuming a lot here. Willing to bet I have more Cartel Ships on more characters than you. Willing to show you the numbers too.

Obviously if they go and give you and everyone else free cartel ships everywhere, I'm the butt of the joke. Being in the minority doesn't make me wrong.
You can buy an outfit or a weapon from the cartel market and unlock it for 400cc. That is a cosmetic item. Cartel ships are a cosmetic item. They are functionally identical in every way to the standard versions. There is no reason why they shouldn't be in collections. What you're basically saying is that you would be salty because you spent the money and won't get it back. I am thinking of others, who would like to spend the money but wont until its legacy wide. Right or wrong here comes down to what the devs think is the best business decision. If unlocking the ships in collections will prompt more players to buy them and hence more profits for Bioware, you can bet your bottom dollar they will do it. If they believe it won't, then they won't.

I bet if we took a vote to divide your bank account evenly between the forum members, it would be "safe to say you are in the minority on this one" too.
Inaccurate analogy.

 

 

You should say "thanks" because I just told you how to solve it if you really care.

You just told me to spend 1000cc on 40 charecters (40kcc) to work around the deselect bug by transferring them all, resulting in me needing to leave my guilds and then re-transfer them back to the desired server, for another 40Kcc. No, I won't be saying thanks.

 

But yes, obviously they should fix it. This is the only actual defect in all of this, you know- this stupid deselect thing that I don't really think the devs understand exactly how frustrating it is to have to check everything every time you log in or just be missing a pile of upgrades. You can bet if talent trees had this issue in ground game it would be a tier 1 emergency.
You see, this is why we have a petition. Because stuff in the ground game gets fixed and updated where as GSF does not. You just said it. Iokath was over 3 years ago. So while you are happy to sit back and assume that one day we will get some new GSF content and that the bugs that have been around years will get fixed, I am not. I would rather put our voices together and nudge the devs politely.

 

We agree on plenty of these. I don't think petitions are how to get stuff done.
Devs, please note this. What would you propose? How would you get stuff done? Because everyone wants a new map, everyone wants bugs fixed, but no one has ever done anything to try to get stuff done. OR we can just resume sitting on our hands for the next three years then moaning again about no new content while ground pvp gets another new map and pve gets another new Flashpoint.

 

If we have to, I think they should be reserved for cases where it has become disruptive, and where basically everyone agrees.
When has there ever been another petition? I did one for remote slicing. The devs liked the community feedback, it worked, we got the job done. Name another time there has been a petiion? You will never get everyone agreeing. The world doesn't work like that. What we have here is the hope that the majority agree and hence the devs see an incentive to make the changes to keep people logging in and spending their money and time on the game. Its all business. Nothing more.

 

Multipoint wishlists strikes me as extremely disrespectful and inappropriate. None of these are prenerf slicing, and the only defect in the list is the component deselect bug. How many people signing "agree" don't actually care about 2-6 of your points but really just would like, for instance, a new map and the bug fix? But by setting it up to avoid this nuance, you create the illusion of mass support.
It would be a lot worse to have multiple petitions. Fact is, we have multiple bugs that have never been fixed since before I joined GSF. We haven't had a new map in over 3 years. And the other revisions I hope / believe would be well received. Fact is if GSF received the kind of regular attention the ground game got, there would be no need for a multi-point petition. The petition will tell. GSF is in need of some attention and if we do nothing it will remain that way. What your "dissent" essentially comes down to - aside from disagreement with a couple of the minor points - is that you agree by and large with what is being asked for, but you disagree with asking for it. Noted. Edited by Ttoilleekul

So to repeat the issue here, GSF has been largely neglected. Every long term pilot knows it. If it received regular updates and content like the ground game does, then there would be no need for a multi-point petition. The petition is essentially saying, "hey Devs, GSF kind of needs a little work please." People put individual posts up all the time asking for things, and what happens? Nothing. We tried that, it doesn't work. Time for a new approach. You'll thank me if this works. Regardless of whether you disagree with the approach.

 

Now on to each request.

 

1: New maps/Modes

 

I'm all for new maps of the existing modes, but after playing Star Wars Squadrons, I think a fleet battles mode is a terrible idea, that game had it as it's primary mode and still couldn't balance it.

I think there's definitely room for new modes, but something more like King of the hill (A roaming area you capture for points) or VIP (Some kills are worth more points then others) would be much easier to implement.

I don't have the experience with fleet battles, you do. So I'm hearing you, but, GSF is not balanced anyway, and neither is SWS. So balance and mode would seem to be entirely unrelated. That is a matchmaker issue, mostly. It doesn't matter what new mode is introduced, it will still be unbalanced unless matchmaker receives a heavy overall. And even then, I am skeptical that would fix it. It won't be unbalanced because its fleet battles. Now, that said, any new mode works for me, and I would be fine with a Capture the point type mode.

 

2: More GSF Decorations

 

I mean sure, but I wouldn't bump this above another map or mode for example, which is why I hate that you put it in the same pile. I'd probably just disagree with a petition for this if it was the only thing, just so they could focus elsewhere.

You did disagree with it.

 

3: Alternate Fleet Comms and Fleet Requisition purchases

 

While I'd be ok with alternate Fleet Comms purchases since that has a cap, at this point I think a Fleet requisition conversion might be a little much since there isn't a cap on that and some players have pooled tremendous amounts of it over the years.

I appreciate some players have tremendous amounts of fleet requisition stored up. But its still a pointless currency that becomes utterly useless beyond a certain stage. Would seem only logical to give it a purpose. This is why it needs to be a very high figure for the conversion. As for long term players being able to convert a lot of requisition to Fleet comms because of their large amount of Fleet requisition stored up - I wouldn't worry about that. They have already done similar. If you have the right amplifiers on your character, you can loot 10K Fleet Comms in one evening of play. So it wouldn't make any difference for the long term pilots to be able to max out their fleet comms if this conversion happened. They would only be able to do it once, where as you can farm 10k Fleet comms already every evening if you wish. Honestly the amount of fleet requisition stored up pales into comparison to the already existing ways to farm Fleet Comms. But at least it would give a purpose to the currency.

 

4: Legacy Unlocks for CC ships

 

If you're going to add this, I'd say you'd want it at a much higher price since it's not just a cosmetic, it's player power in the sense that you get a second copy of a ship which can be very useful for having alternate builds on your bar. It would also give you ships that were unlocked on brand new characters. Secondly you'd want to refund anyone that had baught all the extra ships, since that's a lot of extra Cartel coins that they spent to get all those ships. Without that refund I don't think it would be fair in the slightest to add this.

If the unlock price is "much higher" it defeats the purpose. How high are you proposing? 600cc? 800? 1000K. Maybe that has legs. I'd be happy for the devs to work it out. Yes a brand new toon now gets an extra ship/s unlocked, but you still have to master it. You're not at an advantage. Yes its player power in the sense that its a 2nd copy which can be useful, but that's a very minimal player power, and one a lot more people would be willing to buy into. As for the refund, yeah that's just not going to happen. I remember seeing people moaning when Nico Okarr was given away free to subscribers a few years ago, and the founders were complaining that it was no longer an exclusive founder reward. Things change. You're either thinking about other people here or you're not.

 

5: Copilot voices not bound

 

I used to think like you did many years ago, but not anymore. I think it's interesting to have them on select characters, however my suggestion would be to add a second copy of each copilot with different passives and copilot ability, giving alternatives for different setups, while maintaining the exclusivity of voices to abilities.

12k games, approaching 3 years play time, I haven't changed my mind and won't. Thought it from the start, and I think it now. I can get behind the alternate versions though.

 

6: Bug fixes and Matchmaker improvements

 

While of course everyone wants this stuff, this isn't a petition type thing. That's like saying we need to make a petition so the loading times are better.

I mean, really? What better need is there for a petition? Bugs that have not been fixed in over 3 years. I'm all ears for other ideas, but its not like these bugs have not been reported through the bug reports system.So, give me another idea for how we get these bugs fixed.We tried siting on our hands and moaning about it. That didn't work. Sorry for the sarcasm here, but come on....

yes to: maps, decos, conversions(though only to bound items), legacy unlocks, and improved matchmaker

I think there's definitely room for new modes, but something more like King of the hill (A roaming area you capture for points) or VIP (Some kills are worth more points then others) would be much easier to implement.

 

fleet battles were unbalanced beacuse of 2 things: classes not being mirrored, and to a lesser extent capital ship shapes. there are ways to fix the capship shape problem(all damageable areas on top) but I don't think it's a huge issue anyway

2: More GSF Decorations

 

I mean sure, but I wouldn't bump this above another map or mode for example, which is why I hate that you put it in the same pile. I'd probably just disagree with a petition for this if it was the only thing, just so they could focus elsewhere.

just turn all the GSF ships into decos, make them BOL or BOP, and make them purchasable for 50k ship comms on that ship. cartel ships included. don't think it would be too hard to do, we have the models already

3: Alternate Fleet Comms and Fleet Requisition purchases

 

While I'd be ok with alternate Fleet Comms purchases since that has a cap, at this point I think a Fleet requisition conversion might be a little much since there isn't a cap on that and some players have pooled tremendous amounts of it over the years.

bind them

refund all but one on each legacy, minus 400 CC, then make future unlocks of unlocked cartel ships cost 3k fleet req to ensure stock is still difficult

6: Bug fixes and Matchmaker improvements

 

While of course everyone wants this stuff, this isn't a petition type thing. That's like saying we need to make a petition so the loading times are better.

we're petitioning for the devs to focus on GSF, which they clearly don't do until we raise a petition.

 

 

I responded to drako's post but my points also apply to verain's.

GSF doesn't have un-mirrored classes. Don't think it matters what the mode will be, imbalance will remain. But I'm not pushing for Fleet battles. It was a by the by mention. I will amend the petition to mention other modes, and make it clear we are happy for anything.

Great idea.

Staying neutral on the particulars of how to do it, but your inference is that there has to be a middle ground, and I agree. I will amend the petition to reflect this.

Exactly.

 

Map / mode, legacy unlock, conversions, and companions all amended in the petition to better reflect the personal wishes of comments made in this thread. An emphasis has been put on flexibility and finding a middle ground.

So to repeat the issue here, GSF has been largely neglected.

 

So? A "petition" isn't how you fix that. All of SWTOR has only a moderate amount of resources, and they help GSF when they can. Do you really feel that GSF is uniquely crapped on or something? I'd like them to pay more attention to it as well, but they don't owe us anything, we aren't some aggrieved party. At least you are being more honest now- initially you were hiding this confrontational take you had on the devs, and now it's in the open.

 

If it received regular updates and content like the ground game does, then there would be no need for a multi-point petition.

 

I feel you'd make one anyway. Your last petition went somewhere, so you think that's a skeleton key to get all your pet requests addressed.

 

The petition is essentially saying, "hey Devs, GSF kind of needs a little work please."

 

NO, that is NOT the "essence" of what it is saying. The essence of what it is saying is "here's stuff I want and I see other folks bring up some times so lets see if I can bully the devs into doing it". That's what it's essence is- making demands and trying to get everyone to line up and spam AGREED in your main thread.

 

You could easily make a thread saying "@devs GSF needs a little work please". And no, your petition isn't more likely. No, we haven't reached some fictional line in the sand where we need to take some stand. None of that. You could have made that thread, instead of these two.

 

People put individual posts up all the time asking for things, and what happens? Nothing.

 

Hey, remember the individual thread asking for mines to not respect LOS? Or more recently, the one about slicing, that you did? Slicing got nerfed because it needed a nerf and everyone knew it, not because your chosen format was a petition.

 

We tried that, it doesn't work. Time for a new approach. You'll thank me if this works. Regardless of whether you disagree with the approach.

 

I'm actually angry that I've never managed to sound this arrogant on the forum. I need to step up my game.

 

GSF is not balanced anyway,

 

Lol, GSF is extremely well balanced in comparison to everything else that gets discussed. It's vastly more balanced than Squadrons ever has been on any single day of its existence, and less buggy to boot.

 

So balance and mode would seem to be entirely unrelated.

 

So, I'm going to argue with everything you just said. First, you're incorrect that GSF is not balanced. By comparison to a lot of games, it is extremely well balanced, and keep in mind we are talking about the game modes and the ships here. The only standard by which SWS and GSF are both imbalanced is that neither will give you a perfectly balanced matchmaker thing, and that is by no means a relevant point here.

 

Second, you are assuming that because GSF is not perfectly balanced, suddenly, balance doesn't matter, and that every game mode will be equally imbalanced. This take is HOT GARBAGE. A MOBA is much harder to balance than a TDM. Balancing a TDM and a Dom with the same rules is a bit challenging- zone control is more relevant in domination, for instance, and healing, evasion, and player killing are more relevent in a TDM. But a MOBA thing? No, that's a whole other universe. There's a reason why League's myraid of creative modes are generally still in the framework of a MOBA instead of there being a capture the flag, or a democracy-tower type mode in there.

 

Squadrons was designed to be a MOBA. It was the core element of the game, and they did an ok job, but by walking away from it so fast (the devs didn't even stick around six months after launch) they guaranteed that every imbalanced would stay forever. GSF was tweaked to its current point over the span of years, and then it became something only touched carefully. Even the sweeping changes a few years back weren't as disruptive as the ludicrous crap squadrons devs did, such as "now your ship takes double damage when you use this weapon" and "we took the ships that couldn't fly good and made them fly worse as a joke".

 

Adding a MOBA mode would be a huge deal.

 

If anyone wants to suggest pvp modes, the game to look at is Star Conflict. This is because GSF's domination and TDM were lifted out of there, back when that game was young and only had those two pvp modes. They've since added several other modes that work pretty good, and some of them are pvp modes. The two that would be of interest to GSF are:

 

Beacon Hunt - this is like domination, but with two core changes. First, only one satellite turns on at a time. Second, the team that has the active satellite can't respawn until the active satellite times out or until they lose control of it. This mode works way better than it sounds, though I don't think it's as good a mode as domination, it's very close. You can check it out in that game versus bots pretty easily if you like. This mode could be played with domination maps, making it the most likely thing that could be added.

 

Detonation - This is their take on capture the flag. This would require new maps. Each team has three points, so there are six points of interest on the map. A special bomb spawns, and your team wants to capture the bomb (so capture the flag), and the bomb guy has to get to any of the enemy points, at which point it explodes.

I don't think GSF would be perfectly balanced with this mode out of the box, and it would require new maps which is a huge ask.

 

They also have a variant where respawns are limited, but I don't think anyone would love that here.

 

 

I appreciate some players have tremendous amounts of fleet requisition stored up. But its still a pointless currency that becomes utterly useless beyond a certain stage. Would seem only logical to give it a purpose.

 

It's perfectly logical to leave it as it is. Perhaps the only change we should ask for is the ability to flex by linking our ship in a way that will show our ship and how much requisition it has available, so we can all measure our epeens in /gsf. Or perhaps we could ask for future cosmetic work to add some effect if you are willing to spend a million ship requisition.

But having it interact with the economy would be odd and strange. Whatever thing you end up being able to buy with it would have a tiny price compared to the effort put in, because everyone has all this braggable points that suddenly would be a currency.

 

Importantly, why would this obscure point be part of a petition?

 

 

This is why it needs to be a very high figure for the conversion.

 

See, that's not fair either. I have a zillion req, sure, but why should the time I spent be less valuable? And why should FUTURE conversions be penalized here too? The moment you let it become, I dunno, tech fragments, or some tradable item, you'll be here doing a petition (BECAUSE NOTHING ELSE WORKS GUYS) begging for a better conversion of time spent in GSF to earn ship and fleet req to (whatever), and you'll be busy showing how this DOESN'T RESPECT OUR TIME and how it's TERRIBLE FOR GSF PLAYERS and the devs HATES USS SO MUUUCH. Or maybe that won't be your thread, but the next you's thread.

 

 

Honestly the amount of fleet requisition stored up pales into comparison to the already existing ways to farm Fleet Comms.

 

This doesn't seem true to me.

 

But at least it would give a purpose to the currency.

 

I'd only be interested in a purpose that keeps the ship req tied to the player, and tied to GSF. So unlocking a sparkle trail or something for a huge amount seems ok to me, especially as the game needs a few more perks to stay on mains. But I wouldn't like, petition for it.

 

If the unlock price is "much higher" it defeats the purpose.

Your purpose is "free stuff for me", so yes, obviously a higher price defeats the purpose.

 

You're not at an advantage. Yes its player power in the sense that its a 2nd copy which can be useful,

 

It is useful. You know it's powerful as well, or you wouldn't be here asking for it. It is nice to be able to put two of these ships on your bar, especially if you tune one for TDM and the other for Dom.

 

As for the refund, yeah that's just not going to happen

 

Of course not. But nothing you want is going to happen either, and you're still asking for it. You're not asking for this because your goal is to screw over players who have bought the ships, like me, and to get free stuff for you, so you don't even bother asking or thinking about it or anything. It's not on your petition for this reason.

 

I remember seeing people moaning when Nico Okarr was given away free to subscribers a few years ago, and the founders were complaining that it was no longer an exclusive founder reward. Things change. You're either thinking about other people here or you're not.

 

First, "the devs screwed some people before, so they should screw everyone constantly" is a terrible argument. Second, unlocking these ships on multiple characters costs a lot more than Nico Okarr, and we've had the devs come in and say that they don't have the ability or the intention to do account wide unlocks on GSF, which is pretty much the go-ahead to buy stuff with the confidence that it won't be given away free later. So you're basically asking them to go back on past statements, specifically excluding anything that would serve as compensation to those that paid, all because you want free stuff and want to punish those who bought things already. Because "things change". And then have the balls to pretend this is about "thinking about other people". I'm the one "thinking about other people", because other players have done what I have. You want what you haven't paid for, and explicitly in a way that screws over people who played by the rules.

So? A "petition" isn't how you fix that. All of SWTOR has only a moderate amount of resources, and they help GSF when they can. Do you really feel that GSF is uniquely crapped on or something? I'd like them to pay more attention to it as well, but they don't owe us anything, we aren't some aggrieved party. At least you are being more honest now- initially you were hiding this confrontational take you had on the devs, and now it's in the open.
Those are your words not mine. I never implied such. Do I feel GSF has been left out? Yes. And its clear that is has been left out. If a petition isn't how we fix it, what is? Go back to siting on our hands?

 

I feel you'd make one anyway. Your last petition went somewhere, so you think that's a skeleton key to get all your pet requests addressed.
You're big on assumptions aren't you.

 

NO, that is NOT the "essence" of what it is saying. The essence of what it is saying is "here's stuff I want and I see other folks bring up some times so lets see if I can bully the devs into doing it". That's what it's essence is- making demands and trying to get everyone to line up and spam AGREED in your main thread.
Bully? Demand? Again, your words. You already said we agree on "plenty of it." So its clearly not just my wants is it. You just don't like the format of a petition.

 

You could easily make a thread saying "@devs GSF needs a little work please".
That's been done a hundred times if not more,.

And no, your petition isn't more likely. No, we haven't reached some fictional line in the sand where we need to take some stand. None of that. You could have made that thread, instead of these two.
Yes I could have, but its been done.

 

 

Hey, remember the individual thread asking for mines to not respect LOS? Or more recently, the one about slicing, that you did? Slicing got nerfed because it needed a nerf and everyone knew it, not because your chosen format was a petition.
IF that's the case how come it didn't get nerfed until I started the petition, with a corresponding discussion thread, where the devs acknowledged it, and then nerfed it. You can keep telling yourself that the petition had nothing to do with it, and that it would have got nerfed anyway. Because, quite clearly, the three years before that proves you right, doesn't it? How many countless "individual" threads about slicing were made in that time. in fact while you are on this trip trying to belittle the previous petition as proof this one stands no chance, here is your comment on the petition to nerf remote slicing>>>>>>>>>
Absolutely, and it looks like your thread is moving the ball here. Grats and thank you.

 

I'm actually angry that I've never managed to sound this arrogant on the forum. I need to step up my game
Trust me you are doing a sterling job.

 

Lol, GSF is extremely well balanced in comparison to everything else that gets discussed. It's vastly more balanced than Squadrons ever has been on any single day of its existence, and less buggy to boot.

The only standard by which SWS and GSF are both imbalanced is that neither will give you a perfectly balanced matchmaker thing, and that is by no means a relevant point here.

That is entirely the point here. Yes the class balances is extremely good, but the games are still a hot mess. Again, matchmaker threads have been common place on here.

This is because GSF's domination and TDM were lifted out of there, back when that game was young and only had those two pvp modes.

I don't even know where to begin with this. I think I'll leave it.

 

Importantly, why would this obscure point be part of a petition?
Re-read the petition.

 

See, that's not fair either. I have a zillion req, sure, but why should the time I spent be less valuable? And why should FUTURE conversions be penalized here too? The moment you let it become, I dunno, tech fragments, or some tradable item, you'll be here doing a petition (BECAUSE NOTHING ELSE WORKS GUYS) begging for a better conversion of time spent in GSF to earn ship and fleet req to (whatever), and you'll be busy showing how this DOESN'T RESPECT OUR TIME and how it's TERRIBLE FOR GSF PLAYERS and the devs HATES USS SO MUUUCH. Or maybe that won't be your thread, but the next you's thread.
A lot of assumptions again.

 

 

This doesn't seem true to me.
Perhaps I should summon Grav who can testify to how much fleet comms can be farmed in one evening, because he does it on a semi-regular basis. You, obviously don't. I don't. Its not that important to me. But I know how to do it, and yes, it is a thing. You've been away in SWS so it doesn't surprise me you missed this one.

 

Your purpose is "free stuff for me", so yes, obviously a higher price defeats the purpose.

Assumptions assumptions assumptions.

 

It is useful. You know it's powerful as well, or you wouldn't be here asking for it. It is nice to be able to put two of these ships on your bar, especially if you tune one for TDM and the other for Dom.
Not exactly pay to win is it. A noob with two cartel ships will still suck. The ace who knows how to win will do so with or without two cartel ships. The toons where I have two of the same are just for giggles, so I can run a Scout in TDM that's got more engines and is a little more robust than my DOM build, for example. But that doesn't mean I win more because of it. My try hard win toons need only standard ships available to all. And again, unlocking in collections means this small arguable "advantage" is more accessible for everyone.

 

Of course not. But nothing you want is going to happen either, and you're still asking for it.
People said this about the slicing nerf, but look what happened there. I can literally show you the comments on that thread saying nothing would happen. You may be right, but if that does end up being the case, that's okay. At least I tried, and can be happy in the knowledge I tried.

 

You're not asking for this because your goal is to screw over players who have bought the ships, like me, and to get free stuff for you, so you don't even bother asking or thinking about it or anything. It's not on your petition for this reason.
That arrogance you were talking about. Perhaps I should consult with Verain daily so I know what I really think and feel. Did you miss [choose to ignore] the part where I told you I have more cartel ships on more toons than you? So how can my goal be to screw over people like you?

 

 

First, "the devs screwed some people before, so they should screw everyone constantly" is a terrible argument. Second, unlocking these ships on multiple characters costs a lot more than Nico Okarr, and we've had the devs come in and say that they don't have the ability or the intention to do account wide unlocks on GSF,
I was not aware of this. IF that is the case, then that part of the petition may be a non-starter. Either way, no that is not what I am asking, as I didn't know of that.

 

which is pretty much the go-ahead to buy stuff with the confidence that it won't be given away free later. So you're basically asking them to go back on past statements, specifically excluding anything that would serve as compensation to those that paid, all because you want free stuff and want to punish those who bought things already
. Again, choosing to ignore the part where I said I have more cartel ships than you. Do you remember recently when you were trying to belittle me on some other thread? And to validate your argument (for whatever the topic was) you said that you had played more GSF than I ever will? And that just isn't true is it. Because when pointed out that I had played over 12k games, which is probably more than you at this point, and even if it isn't, it's still certainly more solo games than you. The point is you used "belittle" tactics to try and shut me up. But when I told you how many games I have played, you never replied. So now the same thing is happening here. That's three times now you have stated that I am doing this to get more free stuff and screw over those who already bought that stuff. So listen up. Just like I am confident I have more games under my belt than you, I am also confident I have more cartel ships than yoo. And if I am wrong, both are certainly still in the numbers that debunk your belittling tactics. 12k games is a lot regardless, I know a thing or two now, even though you may not like that. And I have enough cartel ships that if anyone gets screwed here, its me. So no, I am not buying into your self pitty.

 

Because "things change". And then have the balls to pretend this is about "thinking about other people". I'm the one "thinking about other people", because other players have done what I have. You want what you haven't paid for, and explicitly in a way that screws over people who played by the rules.
Seriously, you really did ignore that part didn't you? How did you get through all that and not register that I explicitly stated I likely have more cartel ships than you? I'm speechless. Even in the face of me already saying that, you openly state again that I never bought any and just want to screw over those who do. Its quite arrogant you know ;)

 

Do I need to take screen shots of all my characters with Cartel ships? Or are you going to insist again that I don't have any, never bought any, and only want to screw those who did? Come on Verain, you're a lot of things but you aren't stupid. You either chose to ignore that part, hoping no one (and myself) would notice that your rants are contrary to what I already told you. OR you didn't read it. Neither is good, man.

T If a petition isn't how we fix it, what is?

 

Not our job to fix it man, we're just players. We don't scream louder and louder if we don't get updates, that's absurd.

 

Also if we DO scream loud for stuff, it should be for stuff that matters.

 

Bully? Demand? Again, your words.

 

When you make a petition, you encourage people to get involved in a thing where they will feel bad if they are ignored by the devs. So yes, it is bullying them in some fashion.

 

You just don't like the format of a petition.

I feel it is totally inappropriate for the laundry list of things AND some of your ideas are just bad, and you've glued other things to them in hopes that people will support it. It is highly manipulative.

 

That's been done a hundred times if not more,.

 

And here's your one-hundred-and-first and one-hundred-and-second discussion thread, except this time it's way ruder because you phrased it in the form of a petition.

 

Yes I could have, but its been done.

And you're doing it again right now.

 

IF that's the case how come it didn't get nerfed until I started the petition

 

It got fixed because it needed to be fixed AND because we all made a fuss. Your thread didn't have to be a petition thread to do that, and almost every other community-sourced change has never been part of any petition. And there's been a ton of community-sourced changes in GSF.

 

 

 

That is entirely the point here. Yes the class balances is extremely good, but the games are still a hot mess.

 

Imbalanced games resulting from inadequate numbers of players in queue is very different from a game mode that is fundamentally imbalanced.

 

Not exactly pay to win is it.

 

It's a small amount of player power and it is related to cash. You want it for free on all your future alts, which means you want that thing that I paid for for free.

 

You also claim however that

 

Did you miss [choose to ignore] the part where I told you I have more cartel ships on more toons than you? So how can my goal be to screw over people like you?

 

There's two possibilities.

 

In one case, you have less than me, and my argument, and my assumption, both stand. My argument is "I payed to unlock these ships with the assumption that they would not become unlocked for free on all characters in the future, as that exclusivity was very much part of what I'm paying for". My assumption is, you want free stuff on your alts primarily, and secondarily want to destroy what I purchased.

 

In the other case, you have more than me, and my argument (see above) stands, but my assumption about you changes from "primarily you want free stuff on your alts" to "because you paid more than I did, you feel justified in destroying what I have". It's much worse- in the first case I was assuming you were mostly motivated by selfishness, but in this case you simply want to destroy what others have, as perhaps cartel coins have substantially less meaning for you than they do for me.

 

Anyway, I have 39 cartel ships on my main account assigned, with a few more in my bank unassigned. I haven't checked absolutely everywhere yet.

 

But if by some chance you own more than me, owning more than I do doesn't mean that my 39 shouldn't count.

And opening up them up to credit payment would be nice too. They aren't as coveted as dyes and a rigid pricing structure for 1 time use items that I could only assume a fraction of the people who even touch GSF would buy, is simply ridiculous. I want to enjoy the mode and make the most of what I do have, but not so much that I'm paying 400CC for different colored blaster fire for 1 character.

 

They are similar to dyes, as they are once of, so I can imagine that BW won't do that, as once that happens, you'll have calls for dyes to be changed too, as they would have set a precedence. I'm not saying I wouldn't like it, if we were given a vote, I'd vote yes, but just pointing out it could be the start of a slippery slope :)

You could actually use the fleet req and ship req for GSF decorations for strongholds.

 

Or, for *special* paint jobs, colors for engine, laser (think rainbow engine/lasers) lol

 

just throw us a bone, haha.

 

As far as added maps.

 

TDM Denon and a DOM Iokath.

 

For Denon, they could clutter it up a bit more for sure for the TDM. Very wide open as it is now.

 

For Iokath, the nodes could be hovered above the clutter or, scattered thru the clutter to make it more hard to get form one node to another. I think the DOM iokath in that formulation would make it more challenging than the normal DOM's we are used to.

 

These are just off the top of my head, so there it is.

You lobbied the devs for changes in SWS, and when you didn't get it, you quit the game and came back here. Don't give me that.

It is at worst short sighted. I was trying to bring together the main things I have seen on the forum, on discords, and have seen other pilots mention, both recently and in my entire time in the game. I'm trying to do something good for GSF, because honestly people do want more than just bugs fixed and matchmaker improved. Perhaps I should have just made a petition asking for "Development and Content" and "Quality of life improvements". I know you won't believe otherwise, because you are Verain and I have my suspensions about why you are being extra hostile over this matter, but I can concede that might have been a better way to do it, rather than a multi-point petition. However, that's nothing more than being a little short sighted. You won't think otherwise., but I don't care.

 

Your thread didn't have to be a petition thread to do that,
See, you can keep saying that, but the bottom line is there were countless threads moaning about Remote slicing over the three years since it became meta, and it never got nerfed. I make a petition, and it gets nerfed in a matter of months. After the devs directly acknowledged the attached discussion thread. So you can keep saying the petition had nothing to do with it, but it doesn't make it true. You're just saying it because it fits your arguments now. But back then, at the time, you gave your full support to the petition, and you even credited the petition for being responsible for getting the ball moving.

Absolutely, and it looks like your thread is moving the ball here. Grats and thank you.
You made this comment on the petition, not on the attached discussion thread. So don't say now that petitions don't work and that the RS nerf didn't need to be a petition. Really Verain, accusing me of not having cartel ships, even after I told you I did. Now directly contradicting what you said in January this year, because it suits you. You need to step up your arguments. I expect better from you.

 

Imbalanced games resulting from inadequate numbers of players in queue is very different from a game mode that is fundamentally imbalanced.
I agree, but it doesn't mean it's not relevant. People are not moaning about class imbalance like they do in ground PVP. They are not moaning about a mode that is fundamentally imbalanced. They are moaning about match balance. Matchmaker.

 

 

It's a small amount of player power and it is related to cash. You want it for free on all your future alts, which means you want that thing that I paid for for free.

 

You also claim however that

 

There's two possibilities.

But if by some chance you own more than me, owning more than I do doesn't mean that my 39 shouldn't count.

Thank you for clarifying for everyone that your accusations toward me are based on assumptions. Way to look good there Verain ;) Now, moving on to facts. You win the battle of who has the most cartel ships. I have 30. 39 is a lot. But so is 30. Are you going to apologize for calling me a liar now? But the point is, both numbers are high enough that your arguments [assumptions] fall apart. If I only had 5 cartel ships, your arguments might hold weight. Or conversely if I had 60. Either way it doesn't matter because you have admitted to making assumptions. But, I am just as screwed over as you if I get the change I want. But since you only have assumptions, and can't prove them, let me spell it out for you. And please, try not to gloss over this part and ignore it again. I want legacy unlock for cartel ships, because I think its morally correct, and would prompt more players to buy into having cartel ships.Even though I spent a lot on them already, I think its fair and just that others should not have to. I know for a fact, some players would buy them if it unlocked legacy wide.

 

Now, as for how powerful having a duplicate cartel ship is? Its not. Really. Simply as that. Oh, you want evidence? Sure. Of my recent 100 try-hard win characters over all servers, which netted 77-82% win ratios, none of them had cartel ships. I am willing to furnish screen shots if you call me a lair again. Actually, there is no need, I already did. Go check that thread. The only try-hard win character that has a duplicate ship (both standard and cartel variants on the same bar) is my Scout-only toon, that I did the 100 try-hard Scout games with. And that is so that I can have TDM and DOM versions of the T2S. All the other characters that have cartel ships, are running them as a singular cosmetic change, with no duplicate ship on the bar. Some of those toons are try-hard win toons, some are lulz toons.

 

Having a duplicate ship is probably more benefit to you than it is to me, since you play exclusively in a premade, not solo. I know you have mentioned in the past about having two different T1Gs on your bar. And i get that, in your premade, that would make sense. Two T1Gs on my bar would limit me. But you don't know about this because you know, you don't play solo. You play roles, so you don't have to worry about having a ship for every situation. As a solo try-hard win player, I do. So having two versions of the same ship on my bar, typically reduces my available ships for all situations to 4, rather than 5. I used to run T1F in two versions on my bar, but that was back when I was half the player I am now. These days I find that a limitation. The only ships I need to win, are the standard ships. This would account for why you have an inflated opinion of how powerful it is to have two versions of the same ship on your bar.

@Luc

 

I'm not gonna quote stuff just wanted to clear a few things up

 

 

First up Verain actually didn't want to quit Squadrons, he was the one trying to keep us playing, I'm pretty much the one that pushed us away, because the Devs actually saying to us they weren't doing anything infuriated me. As compared to the ones here that are still reading the forums and taking feedback!

 

Second, you keep trying to throw this you solo queue more then us and understand it better thing in our face and keep quoting this I've played 12000 games number, well I'm closing in on 20000 games now if we're boasting and I'd say 15-20% of those are solo queue games. Verain however solo queue's way more then even I do, we just do it on alts all the time. So maybe hold off on telling us we "know nothing" about solo ing.

 

Third, for me it wasn't THAT you used a petition, the Remote Slicing one actually was good. It's how you used it here, you used it for multiple items at the same time, which should have all been separated in different votes or hell even different threads. (And if you're going to say well that would flood the forums, That's why petition are frowned upon IN THE FORUM RULES)

 

And lastly you keep saying that we've asked for stuff before and nothing happened except when you used a petition and that is FLAT WRONG. The entire damn Strike patch was from us constantly saying strikes were underpowered and then the Devs made a thread to ask us about them specifically. When they changed the matchmaking to make 90% 12v12's we made multiple threads about how that was hurting the game and guess what they changed that too! Hell remember when EMP missile did FULL damage on cleave right after 5.5, oh maybe you don't because we made threads about that and they changed it in weeks.

I'm not gonna quote stuff just wanted to clear a few things up

Noted. You guys still lobbied the devs, though. So it sounds bit rich Verain playing police man on how we try to get stuff done.

I never put a plural in there. Just because you are a collective team does not mean a comment made toward Verain encompasses you too. I know you solo queue, and you proved yourself.

Again, not plural. But for the record, the reason I keep throwing that one in Verain's face is because he likes to use his "I've played more GSF than you ever will, so only my opinion counts" tactic. Which I will drag up and quote if I have to. You'll note, I have never said that in a conversation with you. So maybe reign Verain in a little and we don't have to go down this road. You ask me to reign it in a little, are you doing the same with Verain? Verain likes to come in like he's a heavy weight, belittle people and infer that their opinions carry no weight. You coached me for short time Drakolich. You know me well enough. I told you back then I wont stand for it. Nothing has changed.

 

Third, for me it wasn't THAT you used a petition, the Remote Slicing one actually was good.

See my comments above, I am willing to concede that was an over-sight. An honest error. Even willing to adjust the petition accordingly.. Doesn't mean I am a manipulative demanding bully like Verain has said I am. I'm just trying to get something done for the community,( I feel you know that) and I can concede where I make mistakes. But Verain comes in like Mr Policeman and throwing his weight around and making baseless accusations, which draws out my sarcastic argumentative side.

Fair comments, but it doesn't mean my petition for RS didnt work and that it wasnt the reason it finally got nerfed, like Verain is now claiming. Which is a huge change of tune, all because it suits his agenda in the here and now. There are plenty of things people have made many threads about that have not been addressed, and RS was one of them. Edited by Ttoilleekul

Just to make things clear.

 

The opinions expressed in here are not personal, I feel.

 

So, dont take it that way.

 

*Oh, there goes Luc on some damn fool idealistic crusade....AGAIN....*

 

I dont think its intended to come out like that

 

There are points, counter points in every objective conversation.

Yeah sorry Flux, but this doesn't work with Verain. He does make it personal.

I don't even take this as an insult. Its true. I am idealistic. I do try to get stuff done. Even if the odds are against me. Yes, that is me. Edited by Ttoilleekul

Haha, yeah. I just made the phrase for an example. I didnt intend for it to be taken as an insult.

 

You are doing things and not standing still.

 

Taking the bull by its horns, as they say.

 

It cant hurt to ask for things.

 

Im not against the petition.

 

I think its more of a list to pick from that the DEVS can take and contemplate.

 

But, im sure they get a lot of money for coming up with ideas, or implementing things people want.

 

Any attention is better than none at all.
