SooperDaive Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Just wanted to throw out a suggestion. It'd be really cool if there was something like wow fishing that you could sort of just do in the periphery while you were doing something else (work, study, whatever) that would give small rewards over time or additional crafting items etc. Just as an example, like a gunnery operator on a patrolling starship or something. You could alt tab out and do what you were doing, tab back in and take a whack at a few things for a minute or two and then go back to what you were doing. It'd be a fun way to keep people engaged and benefiting even when they didn't have time to devote full attention to the game. I've been doing crew skills, but after a while I run outta money and that's it until I can sit down on the weekend and knock out several levels to replenish my credits. Anyhow, love the game thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

run_hello Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 WoW, not the only game every made that you can fish in. But now that I think about it, there isn't a ton of water in TOR. I guess that's how they preemptively solved the fishing issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SooperDaive Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 Yeah. I said wow. AMG WOWZ THT WAY Maybe a better way of expressing it (without using the W word) is a more casual game activity; mini game kinda?. You can replace Wow fishing in the above post with that if it makes your butt hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braf Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I think they want to implement pazaak at some point, do you think that'd be what you're looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SooperDaive Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 I think they want to implement pazaak at some point, do you think that'd be what you're looking for? I'll admit I had to goggle it. It looks fun, but it requires another player. It'd be nice for it to just be a solo deal (the hypothetical activity). That way if someone gets all caught up or something and doesn't come back in for 2 hours you aren't shafting the other guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razerfun Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 yeah, the game definitely needs more "fluff". More non-combat activities, such as pazaak/sabaac/dajerik, or player housing, or ship customization, or Story-telling, or speeder racing, or ... well i've run out of ideas, but definitely needs more to help make it feel like we're living in a SW universe, for those of us for whom that sort of thing is important (although it certainly seems like we're a dying breed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoyProtocol Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I would be all up for "fishing" type activity. I enjoyed it in all other video games, and would love to see it here. Something relaxing, maybe even non-combat. Not a fan of the gambling idea, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicSkimmr Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) Space combat can fill that void, except for the RNG of getting awesome fluff stuff from it. I'd support some type of fishing, or maybe hunting instead since there's a notable lack of water. I'm sure everyone would want to bulls-eye womp rats on tat.

MefuneAkira Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 There was fishing in SWG and I had a blast just BS'ing with guildies while we fish. TOR needs these non-combat activities implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdobrowney Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Am telling ya Workable Nar Casinos. If you really watch the movies there is alot of gambling going on in them. This should be added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
