Closed testing is a myth to anyone not a Goon. However for those who paid $10 to be part of a forum, closed testing next weekend.

It would make their construction more meaningful, I think. I mean even architects have some use for quality (extractor speed for certain and, iirc, energy and maitenence costs) in their stuff but for DEs all you get is like 10 hp on a probot.

He's the leader we deserve. Though tbh, when we release our live server. I plan to be playing the game. So I'll be happy to lead our guild myself in whatever form it takes.

(No this doesn't mean i'll be giving free stuff or any incentives that would constitute cheating. I won't even have GM rights on our live server to abuse, no one will except our GMs who will be so restricted they'll only be able to do their jobs and nothing else.)

Either way, depending on the outcome of the next few weeks i'll close this thread and open a new OP with nitty-gritty detailed information that totally describes every facet of DarklightSWG and what makes it different if from the GoonTest™ Next weekend I get enough positive feedback that would indicate we'd have a good enough presence to warrant a guild.

Hey Levarris!

Were you planning on making the player bounty system for all players, not just limited to Jedi? If so, were you planning on sticking to the old profession system where you had to be MBH to pull player bounties, or were you going to change it to more of a CU style system where you had to be 4xxx BH which allowed for more diverse BH builds?

EDIT: Also, another relevant question would be are you planning to stick with Master Scout being a pre-req into Novice BH?

I'll be playing, but I probably won't have time to test/play much next weekend. It's the main reason why I haven't registered on the other forums and PM'd ya.

Bounty Hunter is now a "Secondary Profession" which only includes the investigation line. It is something you can choose with any primary profession. So you could be for example a Jedi / BH, a Commando / BH and so on.

And, player bounties affect all players, not just glowbat enthusiasts.

I changed my mind on the GoonTest™.

If you have registered and sent me a PM on our forum with your SA name for me to verify, i'll be opening it up to you tonight when I get home. Probably by 7:00pm EST.

I'll hop in CTS Mumble starting tonight when I get home so I can coordinate with any of you on testing. I'd ask at least one of you who are into crafting to liberally use the frogs, get resource deeds and craft the hell out of some pharmacist wares. It's an area I am really looking for feedback on.
