[QoL Legacy Droid Idea & Passive Movement ability idea]

I had two ideas and I sent in a ticket for one of them, and received a response back from a GM who said they liked my idea and thought that I should post it in this forum, and I had another idea since then, so here we go.

 

First- With all the legacy droid summoning abilities (Bank, legacy bank, mailbox, etc), I think it would be super neat if you could summon a droid that was a portable GTN- which would pair well with the mailbox droid- that way, if people were, say, in the middle of a prog ops, and someone ran out of adrenals, or needed an augment for a new piece of gear, you could just summon a GTN and mailbox droid and presto! Everyone's ready to go again, instead of waiting for someone to zone into fleet, get what they need, and then zone back into the ops.

 

Plus, a summoned droid that serves as a vendor for Unassembled tokens and Tech Fragments, so if you are in the same situation and you get new gear or are about to max out your tech fragments, you could get your upgrade then and there.

 

 

My second idea has to do with movement, and the new abilities unlocked at level 72. While the new abilities are pretty cool, though some kind of need a little work (Like volt rush- bleurgh), I think that players would be really impressed and happy if, at level 72, you unlocked a passive ability that modified your jump.

 

I'm talking 3 dimensional movement here. Swtor has been a feet-on-the-ground game for a really long time. Even World of Warcraft introduced flying mounts in 2.0- The Burning Crusade. Flying mounts, I understand, may break some game zones, or require a lot of work putting in invisible walls, and would of course, render any challenge getting Datacrons to be pointless.

 

But an ability that modifies your jump would be perfect, I think! Here a few examples of what I mean.

 

Jedi Knight / Sith Warrior: Force Jump, which allows the player to perform a second jump while in midair simply by pressing the jump button twice. Like Cal Kestis!

 

Jedi Consular / Sith Inquisitor: Force Drift, which, when activated, allows you to 'walk on air' without falling for about 3 seconds.

 

Trooper / Bounty Hunter: Rocket Pack. Allows 3 dimensional movement (like a WoW flying mount) for 3 seconds, at running speed- unmodified by sprint or other movement speed buffs.

 

Smuggler / Imperial Agent: Wallrun. Run up, or along a wall for 1.5 seconds, allowing smugglers/agents to clear small obstacles that other players won't be able to jump over, giving them an advantage in escaping from certain death.

 

 

These are just some ideas, that would probably require lots of tweaking and modifying to successfully implement while retaining class balances in pvp, but I think that something like this would really WOW the playerbase. Plus, it would slightly ease the difficulty in finding and getting to old world datacrons, which would help out new players. I personally have been around since before a time when if you wanted to prog, you had to go and get ALL the datacrons, on JUST that character, so I understand the challenge in it- if Bioware wants to keep that challenge, perhaps datacron areas can be blanketed with a zone area of effect that disables the passive movement abilities.

 

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I really hope that someone in the Dev Team sees this.

[Secret Message In Early Consular Story?]

During the Consular Mission on Coruscant, "Secret Signals", there is an elevator in the back of the room that takes you to a balcony area above the first floor. I presume this would be one of the possible meeting places you'd be sent to if you activated a different signal than I did. However, just across from this balcony area, over a platform-jumpable sign, is a small alcove that seems to have nothing in it. However, upon jumping over, I noticed a holoprojector putting up images on the opposite wall. It may have just been my graphic settings or something, but I could only see the projection from a certain angle. It was a string of words in Aurebesh, and with a screenshot, I was able to catch enough of one projection to translate a word or two. However, I couldn't get it all. Long story short, it does say something, and this did look like other "secrets" I've seen scattered around, but I couldn't make out quite what it was. I know some Aurebesh signs are easter eggs or added flavor, but this one was just such a detour that if it does say something, it's probably a pretty good easter egg. anyone else run up on it? I'll submit a screenshot asap to clarify.

 

 

 

 

I just found this thing. It's currently 11/4/2015. For some reason, I can't see anything the holoprojector is showing... maybe my graphics settings are too low?

Cormium crystal is still *********** glitched, as we can expect from the gaming company voted worst 5 years in a row

 

I have NOT completed my class quest, so I am assuming this might have something to do with it, I am going to complete my class quest and re-attempt, will update if this solves

[Please remove the OTP system]

I wouldn't even mind it that much if they just sent the passwords quickly. But it always takes 5 minutes or more, and it takes even longer at night for some reason- sometimes they just don't send at all. I was just fine with the old system of answering a personal question. It's getting annoying that I have to wait for a password every time I get disconnected. That's even longer that I keep my friends waiting if it happens in an ops.

 

OP's got my support. I wish there was something people could sign to protest or petition that it be changed back.
