Q & A New server, The Finalizer

[SLiFeR]

is there anything we can do to help?

Maybe a stress test? Not sure if there's enough time or what would be best for them.

Starting a new server could have been done now. That's not where the challenge is. We wish to get the changes we promised made. Some can wait a little, like the FRS. There will not be Jedi from day one, others needs to be here from start.

I've given some thought about this, as the first legitimate Rank 11 Jedi on Basilisk, from firsthand experience, I am completely opposed to Fight Clubbing. I'd rather not rank up at all if this is the only option. Let me explain.

Yes, the statement is true, with 2 toon limit, 1 online, it will be difficult to pull off within a small group this time, but people are too used to the Basilisk BS meta now. I can see the server coming together to find a way to make it happen.

What I would suggest to fix it is this: Make a blanket announcement to ban Fight Clubbing (suspicious pattern kills could be tracked) and increase FRS XP per kill drastically (no need to touch any other XP type.)

Anyone caught breaking the rule could just have their rank and xp removed, and made to redo the Knight trials. I think that's fair without having to ban anyone because they PvP dodged.

If I recall, Mitzah was against it when coding the FRS. Also fairly certain from memory, SOE CSR's banned people back in the day for this, but reversed their stance later. Big mistake.

Just my feedback on this topic. I think Staff have been doing an awesome job listening to the community, and most of the decisions are perfect for Finalizer. But this one could be a big oversight for the Jedi population. However, you guys also have 6 weeks to discuss it and figure this out before it becomes an issue.

Perhaps others have a better solution. Would love to hear the ideas.

Other servers have already solved this issue.

Increase the amount of FRS you receive from pvp kills, decrease the decay rate.

Add a global killboard. (allows the community to monitor and doesn't force the dev's to backtrack logs)

**Some things I have seen from other modded servers is adding a GCW ranking structure like jedi has FRS** for the pvpers that dont want to go jedi... but the same mechanics as if they are in the FRS but they gain GCW to increase their stats.
It also allows for jedi/elite proffs to gain ranking off one another.

Wow what a time to come back to these forums! Looks pretty exciting to me. Now debating what to even do....go Armorsmith? Be a Ranger? CH/BE? Oh boy!

Maybe this has already been asked, but are flash speeders available on day 1? If not, maybe increase the cost so they don't interfere with crafted items? I never bought swoops on bas, just /flash. Not good for economy.

With the "1 toon online" restriction, is there any thought to a slight increase in the number of skill points allowed for toons?

im so feking happy!

Just a thought, but will we be able to play with 1 character on Basilisk whilst also playing 1 character on Finalizer? Or will we be locked to one or the other at any given time?

My interpretation of this Q/A is that infact they will be available day 1 for people who are eligible. Game changer if true

Q: How will veteran rewards be handled?
A: Currently this system is handled by account creation time. This is of course not optional for a new server. There would have to be a new system in place to handle this and we don’t have the time to implement something like this.

Finalizer will add no costs to the SWGEmu expenses.

How is this possible?

[Lolindir]

How is this possible?

Because we will remove ThePit server and replace it with Finalizer

any thoughts on allowing SL to use their abilities on self?

No, there is not. The game is easy enough as it is.

You can log in 2 on Basilisk and one an Finalizer if you so wish

any thoughts on allowing SL to use their abilities on self?

We have talked about it, but currently not entertaining the idea. Will alter how the tactics evolve in combat. Might be fun

Any chance of a discord chat bot that will pull live chat into the discord and vise versa ?

I asked this question but it was never answered, will time played reset in terms of veteran rewards for finalizer.
