JattaGin Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 Thanks for the info. Good read. Time to get my former Jedi, now pirate captain, up-to-date, and show those Nova Blades who runs this galaxy. Not them, that's for sure.
BlueWanderer Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 Since Dantooine was a in-lore source of lightsaber crystals, can you add some crystals as purchasable items. Actually, providing schematics for the crystals that you used to be able to reverse engineer, but can't any more, would be really nice.
ZeridanShear Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 So since that week is supposed to have the Bounty Contract week running, I'm assuming Death Mark will still be the normal conquest for the first week and the new one based around this new event will begin the following on June 4th?
DzastinBiberi Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 I have two questions. Will there be a Star Map? The one that was visited by Revan and Malak. Will there be a crystal cave? The one that was visited by The Exile. Thats what I wanna see again.
casirabit Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 I like the fact that you will have dailies for the peaceful time as well. That might be interesting.
TrixxieTriss Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 I hope it’s not laggy. A good way to avoid this might be to make the planet instances smaller and just have more of them. Ie, make them 100 people instead of 180 people.
ForfiniteStories Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) Will my Commando or Smuggler be forced to become a Jedi and be absolutely fine with it? Will either of them be asked what planet they're from with only a single option available as a reply, specifically one I never heard of before? Will we as players randomly stumble upon a crime scene investigation involving a couple of nitwits and asked to solve it on the spot through sheer guesswork? Will there be a hidden companion on our ship who can't speak Basic? Don't mind me folks. Just making fun of KOTOR. Edited May 15, 2019 by ForfiniteStories

The one that was visited by The Exile. Thats what I wanna see again. I am more worried about how lazy the rewards are.. Seems like they are focused only on making cool CM items. The only reason I ever bothered with the other events is because I wanted to get some item, but in this case there is nothing... nothing at all that is worth bothering for me.

It was always like that. All of the cool stuff came from CM, except for sets and weapons from ranked in S3 and Nightlife/Ilum event.
Darth_Sidewinder Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 Does anyone know how much "spoilery" the event will be for those who haven't played KOTFE, KOTET etc.? The preview makes it clear that some parts will be aimed at post-Ossus people, but that you could do some things even without that. But what I am most interested in is the story aspect. Will it be sensible to do it with people who haven't even seen the expansions?

I always start with the characters that have done the story line first, though not sure Dantooine will have much story at least not from the PTS but then again they don't do a lot of the story lines on the PTS.
kodrac Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 Looking forward to the whine threads when this releases. I can just imagine all the QQ from high expectations already. That's it? 30 minutes of quests? I waited all these years for Dantooine and there's no epic story? No Pazaak? I played Pazaak there in KOTOR2! It's not pink?! It's supposed to be pink! It was pink in SWG the holy grail of Star Wars games!

The armor sets may actually be inferior to the ones you get while just leveling up your character, lol. Not sure about the Ugnaughts, etc. but I kind of think rewards are a big thing when it comes to repeatable content...

Absolutely agreed, there is absolutely no effort put into either the Homesteader or Novablade Gunner sets. If content is going to be so few and far between, I expect something worth subscribing for - If this is the quality I can expect after however many months, even less than the 'bare minimum', then I don't think I'll bother supporting this until actual effort is made.

Personally, I never really find too much that I like in the daily areas as far as rewards/vendor in daily areas. I think tho that they probably saw the success of Ossus and how it has continued to draw lots of players there for the WBs and gearing applications. I think it's likely they will have some kind of WB dealy in the new event to draw people to that as well. Might not offer gearing things, but it could offer alternate ways of getting MWCs or UCs with which people could than go over to Ossus and use there for gearing purposes. If they were smart, that's the move. We'll see tho. Worse case scenario, still new content.

I can still speed run the dailies in 13.5 mins (not including the 4 man).

When will we get more information on the summer event you all mentioned at the Cantina? Hoping for a chance to get Master Ranos again.

DewyMossEmpire Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 For the love of the Force PLEASE add a peaceful farming SH on Dantooine with a view of the valleys!!!
