New Ideas to Implement in SWTOR

[JesseFiggy]

So perhaps its just me, but I feel that all of my characters, once reaching level 55 become some what useless. No completely. Obviously when one reaches 55 they can do FP's, PVP WZ, and more. However the focus is on getting new and better armor to improve ones character to be more powerful. This is great however it loses its usefulness if you become powerful for the sake of power... so what.

So I would like to propose a new Idea. I propose a strictly regulated and intense tournament every week. This tournament would only apply to lvl 55 players. And it would be set up loosely as the following.

1. Only lvl 55 allowed to participate

2. There are 4 Ancient Seats that have existed long ago in the Rakata empire that were held only by the strongest and most powerful. These seats will be competed for constantly and held for a week. Then the tournament will start again.

3. It will begin with a team from each guild submitting 4 players lvl 55 into a queue that will bring them to a 3 stage tournament map.

4, The Tournament will consist of PVP interactions facing both online enemy players and computer generated players/, the PVP players will have 3 trials to go through to prove their strength, working with their team against the terrain, obstacles and other enemy teams. once a player has died they will only have 3 re-spawns to continue to assist their team mates. After that the player who fails will be kicked off the map and the team will be left with the 3 players. This will weed out the teams that do not make it. \

5. After the first round is over a second round will ensue that will only have the players that survived the previous round. The teams will go through a similar trial facing both online enemy teams and PC generated players. This level will be a little harder, eliminating more players and teams. This should leave a select amount of players to face each other and leave a standing team. The team that survives will not battle amongst themselves to see who is the strongest. Whoever wins this last battle will gain the Ancient Seat for a week with bonus points and privileges both for himself and his guild.

6. The bonuses would include, armor mods, hilts, blasters etc. along with xp points for the guild ( this would affect lower level players in that guild)

7. The player who controls the Ancient Seat will also be able to guide their guild with newly given powers, for example once the seat is gained by the player will be required to go to a terminal and prove that he has the Seat with a badge that he will receive and he can trade that Ancient Seat badge in for a perk for the week, ( perks such as double xp for the whole guild, reduced prices when doing sales transactions, new unlocked colors, and armor for the guild etc. )

8. There would be 4 of these tournaments going on weekly hence the 4 Ancient Seats

 

Ok so I understand there is A LOOOOOTTTTT to this that is over looked but the point im trying to drive is that once Level 55 is reached it will give SWTOR players more incentive to spend more time on SWTOR to get that honor of being on one of the Ancient Seat, this will make reaching lvl 55 worth it and not just get and buy armor for the sake of power but to reach glory on the Ancient Seat! The player can even be rewarded a new title " Ancient Seat Thane " or whatever you guys come up with. PLEASE let me know what you think , anyone! Especially the SWTOR developing team! Thank you !

Great idea in principle. Although I wouldn't hold it once per week, more like per month. At least then each player who holds an Ancient Seat and their guild can sufficiently gain from it.

 

Reminds me of the Kumite from 'Bloodsport' - where the best fighters compete to proce they are the best.

 

Good to see people coming up with good ideas to possibly expand the game. I see where you're coming from as well about reaching Level 55. I've just done that with my first character, a Jedi Sentinel and see that the end game is geared towards just armouring up. Although the end game content is very good.
