Q & A New server, The Finalizer

[Neener]

Flash speeders will not be there from start

This seems to contradict the answer in the Q/A can you elaborate more please?

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.

Should be easy enough to take Flash Speeders off the Vet Rewards list when the server starts then add them back to the list in 3-6 months once crafted ones are readily available?

Amazing. So pumped. Can’t wait for vacation days next week.
Love the changes you’re making and the character count. Thank you for all you’ve done.

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

We are working on a something to address this, however nothing is certain yet. Our goal will be of course to have it based off the Finalizer oldest character age. We just have to take into account the code being used on servers with pre-existing characters and accounts. We will post more when we have something functional.

Flash speeds have been removed from the veteran rewards list. I did it today when I removed ADKs, Resource Deeds and Self Powered Harvesters.

[Neener]

[TMcArthur]

Good stuff!

I think a decent fix for FRS gain rates would be to make a % of Bounty Hunter reward credits be converted into both Jedi XP and FRS xp. In 14.1 it's basically all risk no reward for Jedi taking on bounty hunters, especially non MBH. A jedi/dark knight will have a bounty of ~250k-~1.2mil depending on rank and amount of BH's he's defeated while on terms. You could convert 10% of that (25k) into Jedi XP and then 5-10% of that Jedi XP (1.25k-2.5k) into FRS. That amount could be split between the 1-5 BH's who take your mission so you would have to kill off the entire group to get the full amount of XP.

Logical solution would be to give Jedi FRS XP for killing a BH

But considering how desperate some people are for being the first rank 11 and so on im sure that would get rigged pretty quickly.
just remove the FRS XP loss completely from BH vs Jedi fights and just make it about $$$
Give jedi a say 25% of their payout if they beat the BH and make it an actual incentive for a jedi to fight a BH.

Right now there is 0 benefit except bragging rights.

And just remove the FRS, it's just a really ****ty system.

Remove non cert dots
Remove legend/Except drops for items and comps
Make PVP tef you out of SL buffs like BHing does, and leave it planet wide for PVE, or make SL buffs apply to SL so it can be played in the field.

or make SL buffs apply to SL so it can be played in the field.

I believe this is how it currently works per https://www.swgemu.com/bugs/view.php?id=7922

How is this possible?

Our costs are not directly tied to each server. We have a rather sophisticated architecture, so the cost of adding a server is low in the grand scheme of things. That's why we have Basilisk, TC-Nova, TC-Prime, and thePit currently.

As Lolindir said earlier, we will be taking down thePit and replacing it with Finalizer, so the net difference will be zero.

But we run a lot more than just the four game servers. There are the forums, Mantis, and support, just to name a few.

This is incredible, I can't wait!!

Nah. Give the Jedi the full payout from the BH's bank account, possibly with some sort of multiplier. It gives the Jedi the incentive, and it shifts credits from one player to another rather than generating new credits into the system. And it punishes the BH for losing.
