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...
Darth_Moonshadow Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I just told you we do swoop racing here. The only spam I like comes in a can. Because I take those cans and stuff them into socks so I can beat people with them. SPAM SOOOOOCK! *swings sock overhead* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schmerzbringer Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Well, to some extent I like your suggestion, but as long we live in a democratic state (Germany for me), you problem will be.............. Your subs will triple if you add 3 more bgs. Your subs will triple if you remove all buges. Your subs will triple if you add 10 ops Your subs will triple if you remove f2p Your subs will triple if you add mini games Your subs will triple if you allow housing Your subs will triple if you give als big, big Starships for our gild. But, if you ask me als an old DAOC and WARHAMMER player. You will get Millions of new and returning gamers, if you add opvp and optimize the hero-engine, so that we really can fight huge battles with our lightsaber. So see, everyone needs different things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt there are 800.000 or so players just sitting out there going "wow, i wish SW:TOR had podracing, i would sooooo sub if they did"... (based on Biowares statements that there were around 500.000 subs last time they released any info on it) Edited June 5, 2013 by OddballEasyEight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Moonshadow Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 So how is 800k triple from 500k? Oh well, ya see, the answer to your question is quite simple.

OddballEasyEight Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 So how is 800k triple from 500k? Well they said "around" 500k, so i figured 400k or thereabouts... so "around 800k" sounds good to me...Dont want to say too high a number or people will be all over me about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elfa Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Your subs will triple if you cut subs costs by 2/3. Is that bad math? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimG Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 You think there are a million new subs out there waiting to pay $15 per month for this game just for pod-racing? Sorry, but that's a baseless and delusional claim, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrea Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 It probably won't triple the subs but; Pod Racing, yes please. Swoop Racing, that too, Pazaak, Yep, that would be awesome. However I don't think we are going to be seeing any of this too soon, especially as pvp mini games. There is a risk of players using the competition to bet real money with opens up a whole range of other issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanph Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 subs will triple if they make the galaxy explorable in space as beautiful as eve online but with a different combat system (just adopt battlefront 2), Gj an extra 150 million a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuixupu Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 If they add it, great, but this is just an example of the problem with the player base. Small pockets of people that want a niche feature that actually think that their interest is somehow shared on the same volume and level as everyone else.Yes, there will be groups of people that will be extremely pleased by the addition of pod racing, chat bubbles, hood toggles, but there won't be a huge jump in subs because of it.

MagikFingerz Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) Your subs will triple if you cut subs costs by 2/3. Is that bad math? Actually, by looking at Steam sales it might multiply it by even more. Then again, that would be comparing a subscription service to one-time game purchases.

LordArtemis Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) I think it is logical to state that adding "sandboxy" content, like swoop racing, would give the game more broad appeal to casual players. I really think any statement beyond that is a bit of a stretch. Adding other things like card playing, interior (think SWG housing interior decoration system) and exterior starship decoration (with furnishings and trophies that drop and have to be crafted/quested for) and PVE arenas with PVP options (like in KotOR) that rate performance instead of straight wins (I have a PVP suggestion thread that fleshes this one out) would help. Finally chat bubbles in group chat wouldn't hurt for RP purposes. Edited June 5, 2013 by LordArtemis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
