bullsharkk Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 As title says, if they add in pod -racing, were you can win prizes, race other players, and upgrade your pods, and mess with them, beleive me, they will triple there subscribers easily. Also space pvp, but pod racing would be alot easier to implement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broja-Lew Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Hmm 4/8 player PVP pod race FP sounds kinda fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therandyman Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) I agree. Give the masses somewhere else to go so I can quest and level in peace. Edited June 8, 2013 by therandyman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanatex Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I've been wanting Podracing for a long time, more so than Swoop Biking. It really would be fricken awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimasterjac Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Pod racing or swoop racing would be interesting. While it's personally not my cup of tea, allowing players to spectate said races allows RP levels, so I would definitely be for that. However, I wouldn't say pod racing would triple subscriptions. The racing genre and MMO genre of gaming aren't very connected, so diehard racing game fans are not MMO'ers. (More than likely). Prizes would create an unbalance in PvE if prizes were gear: Those who were good at racing could magically kill things better, which doesn't make sense. However, if prizes were swoop bike upgrades, that'd be pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AelixVII Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) I wouldn't even care if it was the same as the Kotor racing mini game, but swtor has the potential to add so much more. Imagine a Taris swoop race revival, would be awesome. Prizes would create an unbalance in PvE if prizes were gear: Those who were good at racing could magically kill things better, which doesn't make sense. However, if prizes were swoop bike upgrades, that'd be pretty cool. Agreed, if it were just prizes related to the racing that would be fine.

DarthMat Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I wouldn't be surprised if this were to be....dare I say it....a world event for specific planets. Places like Taris, Tatooine, and maybe the lower levels of Nar Shaddaa in some corner of the map where the scum lurk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do have something like this maybe rewards should be some xp, credits and coms for maybe a pod race vendor where you can buy upgrades for your pod like armour, speed enhancements, handleing mods. Who knows. it could be pretty neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreganEricks Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I actually really agree that this would be an awesome idea. I wouldn't say triple the subscribers, but there will be a large influx of new players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorelle Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 just think certain months of the year as a live event, every server holds a swoop racing event that would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith-Viscera Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Ok give them Pod Racing and for the Card players give them Pazaak and for the gamblers, turn the CASINOS on Nar Shaddaa into a Functioning Casino. I want to Play slots for Credits and gamble in Pazaak and bet of the pod RACERS. Now that would be AWESOME!!! But that would be to much to ask for, HUH?

Chevee Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I mentioned this same idea in a post when the game launched...so have many others. :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uniz Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I mentioned this same idea in a post when the game launched...so have many others. :\ so true its not like it takes 18 months for someone to actually think this one and many others up. as far as it increasing subs i just dont see that happening either. unless you must either sub or buy a cartel item to actually "enter" the race. if so i am sure that will go over like a lead balloon. also make sure no hutts are involved as we all know they like to cheat:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krytie Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I think pod racing would be fun, but like has been mentioned, viewing platforms for spectators with a gambling system to bet on races and earn cash as rewards. The person that wins the race would win a few percent of the money bet and reputation in the Racing League, which gives him access to items as he earns racing only coins for cosmetic gear and possibly weapons for the speeder....
