hmm mini games

They need to add mini games quick i can't believe it didnt launch with at least pazaak. I'm telling you mini games are the future of MMO's social content galore.

I'd like to see free server transfers i got 2 groups of friend would be nice to merge on a server. BW dont be greedy rift set the trend go big or go home.

Yeah i like the gambling idea someone trolled me about it saying thats not the kinda people this game needs. It got removed but yeah. There is already a casino. Why not let us bet on everything. But you got to add stuff we can bet on like cards, speeder racing, and huttball matches.

Liked your linked posts they do show exactly what people are refusing to see. Blind ignorance i guess cause it's all around them. People are douchebags and ninjas where ever they are it's the internet you can be a bully without getting beat up!

How many people have character transferred to a guild to raid? Lots i have at least twice. If your going to raid seriously you do research it isnt a hey your a cool person lets go thats a casual raider and you still do research on them in case they suck. But free character transfer like rift would solve it even though its not an issue

Something just add something mini game style.

Combat log is a start it's a dps meter essentially but having raid leading experience the RL should have a way to track it. carrying one bad dps is bad enough but having 3 or 4 would kill the raid and without one you would beat your head till you didnt want to anymore or dump the whole team and start fresh. Threat meter thats a major mishap dps meter yeah could maybe possibly see misplacing/forgetting it but threat meter major mishap. Unless they made the raids where the tank should be taunting the bosses back every 6 sec which would be retarded. The fact is they can add all these things for the people who want it no one forces you to use it! Just like the cross server LFD debate don't like the idea dont use it simple as that. Personally i think it was a small wishlist lol could be a lot bigger.

yeah the cantina's feel so empty mini games would do well ive been keeping my eye out for signs of improvement i turned 50 had no friends to dung grind with didnt like spamming all day so end game kinda did that end. lol But Mini games would totally make up for it. Most people only raid 6 hours a week give yourself 4 hours to prepare for raid thats 10 hours if you play 5 days a week 4 to 5 hours a day thats 25 hours total on average for norm gamers thats not hardcore i game like it's a job 40+ hours but back to point 25 hours 10 of which your raiding or preparing what you doing the other 15? Sitting around doing nothing maybe pvp the dailys suck and glitch a lot. nothing else really to do datacrons only take so long and only get them once. havent seen a lot of pets titles and achieves arent a big deal for some reason they dont feel like it anyway they dont even have there own shortcut and points feel. So Add Mini Games BIOWARE. NOW!

yeah 10% and who ever lands on free parking gets it all yeah! Free Parking for the win!

Agreed i'd spend more time as would 80% of the players who play doing mini games than flashpoints. less time to make more time being used why arent they in game already. 70% of all statistics are made up on the spot!!

If we get it before the one year mark ill be astonished. I think BW has there head up there arse. Too busy trying to fix the stuff that shouldnt have been broken at launch and stuff that should have been before at launch.

Cantina mini games got my sign any day need tons of them http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=222749

Exactly fast fix i expect to see it that way first week in Feb. now go!

Not bad social points would be an awesome award as they are kinda hard to get. Would be kind complicated to make but definitely doable. I can't stress enough one a mini game that would have buttons scrolling down the page like this the button wouldnt have to match or be the same for each step just have a random button generator generating buttons to scroll and your character dancing on the dance floor with some nice moves and awesome music combo's "BANG" and "SPADOUCHE" sound effects and gg right. 1 to 2 programmers 2 -3 weeks.

get rid of the companion pop up all together have it say there little completed thing and it go to the quest complete queue thingy up at the top right. So you get to chose when you want it to pop up. i mean it goes there if you esc out of it anyway just have it not pop up easy huh.

Yeah it would take some time to make but hopefully they start working on it now so we can maybe get it by the one year anniversary!

And Mini Games is something you can dedicate 1 to 2 programmers on and give them a week or 2 to do it. It's a Mini game most arent too complex. The ideas already there just build on it. Use a room make it run down put people gathered in a circle have 2 droid with 6 diff abilities chosen abilities taken from bounty hunter agent and companions. None force user of course. and add upgrades to droids as you go. Bam 1 to 2 programmers 2 weeks droid wars. if it takes any more than they they are over thinking it or they just suck. in either case replace them with people who actually work. Too many people out there qualified and willing to work. To keep people who arent willing to work. And Suck!

So many ways they could have went dial down the graphics dial up the control/maneuver ability. Wgy they went for the rails i'll never know. And reuse the same mission give it a different backdrop and name BAD SWTOR BAD BW! Cheapo's doing stuff crappy not gonna win over the masses. But PVP space battles a must. If they dont implement it in one of the first big patches they are retarded. +1

I believe mini games is where MMO's should head it's an easy cheap way to keep different gamer types interested. You can have pvper playing huttball a gambler betting on the pvper's match standing beside 2 dudes playing cards while they listening to a 2v2 guitar hero. With a group of speeder racers coming in from a race with 2 going to shoot skeet off the holodeck. Kinda ran away there but you get the idea. Plus anything is possible a freakin Holodeck duh could play actual duck hunt if you want. side note Droid wars. kinda like those engineer guys that build robots to put them in matches with other robots to destroy one another.

Yeah thats what im talking about Final Fantasy did nail the mini game thing i had more time making and racing chocobo's in 7 than i did playing lol and blitzball was awesome just borrow those ideas lol.

Those lvl capped characters are the things that are going to keep people going back to WOW all that time invested kinda hard to throw away. The things that are going to keep people here is there ability to build and make great ideas better. Cause the min it came out as an MMO it was a clone of WOW. WOW is like the simpsons they have done everything just like i think it was south park "Simpsons Already did it" episode where the simpsons did it already Quote sums it up. "the boys note that The Simpsons has done everything, so worrying about that is pointless. Chef points out that they in turn borrowed their ideas from a classic Twilight Zone episode, "The Little People"." So why not use good ideas? It's an endless cycle in everything! Not only SWTOR.

Well if you look at it that way rift has those same things and FFX so you kinda keep going dont you from here to rift to WOW to FFX. Each game takes from the last and builds. Thats how we keep getting better stuff like TV's PC's and everything. If people had your mind set we would still be using Black and white TV's. If a game has some features you think are awesome but your playing another game does that mean you can't want the game your playing to have those same features that you think are awesome. Build off the successful features of the past. Thats why schools tell us history is important right so we learn from it. But the key here is something i think is awesome and something you think is awesome differ. So BW is gonna have to distinguish what features are good to take and build on and what isn't hence the suggestion forums more people want threat meters than don't so it's a good feature to take. Same goes with LFG, DPS Meter, and Macro's. Those are just a few features from older games BW needs to take they are still missing a time of features that are worth taking. Although i have to agree allowing people to use the API and make user MOD's within certain guidelines would both put the things people want in the game now and save BW a ton of cash developing them. They could take the popular mods they are seeing used and develop them and make them standard optional. Genius!

I say Guitar hero just because it's a widely known thing. Take an idea from it or let it be a starting place of an idea. Over all i'm just asking for more socialable stuff to do when you not raiding. Seems like your raiding, PVPing, or trolling on fleet and the cantina's seem like an easy place for them to start. Take ideas from all those little mini games you see and have come across as a kid. Scorched, duck hunt, Pokemon, pazaak, guitar hero, tetris, racing, starfox, fishing tourny, farm ville anything thats pvp mini games just toss some nice titles and or achieves that go to the top 5% and bam they will be popular. Just take the idea and run! Example Scorched take control of walker's on ilum and target and destroy enemy walkers with the same type of abilities. From a control center in fleet. Achieve could actually be called "scorched" Duck Hunt skeet shooting with the laser rifles. Stand on a platform looking out at the stars and have a bright colored skeet shoot out. Pokemon buy and fix droids to fight like "Real Steel" and/or pokemon (WOW took an idea like this and ran with it i thought it was a good one) Pazaak Already a game in a SW game already made just transfer it Guitar hero already explained Tetris have a high score chart that give a title to the ranked 1 player have it reset every tuesday so if someone beats your high score they get the title it's only wearable when your #1 racing This is already in SWKTOR Starfox Just like the space mission but fly through rings racing other players just add a speed boost button and ability Fishing bounty baord have a bounty come up on a certain day at a certain time to kill and get a jawa cloak with a .1% drop or something cause the game doesnt have fishing lol reward anything Farmville i dunno you can prob clearly see i pulled several out my ***** and just made stuff up but thats the type of thing that i'd like to see take an idea and run with it.

Cudo's cause this sums it up IMO. Awesome post i just hope BW does like it says right here take all the successful stuff from previous MMO's and make them better. As well as some of the better suggestions.
