Combat Upgrade !! Update !!

Lantern · 2005-03-20T18:26:44Z

Greetings...I’m Blair, producer for Star Wars Galaxies and more specifically in charge of the Combat Upgrade (CU) project. I’ve been around for a while now, and many of you may recognize me from when I worked on the Live team. In the upcoming weeks you will start to see what Combat Upgrade is all about. Next week, I’ll have a development diary set up, where you can see what happens on a daily basis. The diary will let you in on what changes we make, what feedback you give, and what the daily work on Combat Upgrade actually is. What we’ve got today is the first round of public documentation which talks about the hard work the CU team is doing. Our plan is to review the feedback this weekend, and prepare a response of the most frequently cited issues next week. Have a read. (It’s long!)Combat Upgrade Update We looked at the current combat system in SWG and iterated designs several times to be sure that it is on target with your input for the system and for our overall mission which is to make SWG more fun, more accessible (easy to understand, hard to master) and Star Wars-centric. During this process we worked to make every system easier to understand, more engaging and more fun to play.This vision document summarizes the exciting updates of the Combat Upgrade.Statistics * Star Wars characters will now have a single hit point bar, called "Health". When health reaches zero, the player is incapacitated. * Offensive attacks are performed ultimately to damage your opponent’s health statistic in order to win in combat. Players continue to perform special actions in combat that they receive during their character’s advancement. These actions draw from two point pools "Action" and "Mind". You must have the required number of pool points to perform the action. * There will be no more stat migration capability. * Players no longer have the so-called "drain" stats: Strength, Quickness, and Focus. They will continue to have the recharge stats "Constitution", "Stamina", and "Willpower", however they will be called "health regeneration rate", "action regeneration rate", and "mind regeneration rate". * Species differentiation will be defined by different regeneration stats, skill mods, and minor special abilities. * The only wounds a player can receive are health wounds. All other wound types will be removed from the game.Health, Action, Mind pools * A character's maximum health will increase with the character's combat level up to 300%. New character health will be 1000, maxed character health will be 3000. * Players will be able to reference their combat level. * Short term buffs will modify this health value no more than 20%. * Long term buffs will modify this health value no more than 10%. * Species modifiers will affect no more than 10% of a base statistic.Special Actions * The following profession trees will be modified by adding and removing new special abilities to bring them in line with the new system: Marksmen, Medic, Brawler, Scout, Riflemen, Pistoleer, Carbineer, Bounty Hunter, Smuggler, Commando, Pikeman, Swordsman, Fencer, Jedi, TKA, Doctor, Combat Medic. * All of the above professions will be re-balanced so that mastery requires a more equal number of skill points for each of the elite professions. No player will be able to master three elite combat professions. * The profession trees for Entertainers, Musicians, Dancers and Image Designers will be affected by the Combat Upgrade, and will likely need some profession tweaking because of the changes with wounds, stat migration and buffs to the mind. We will make adjustments to entertainers by creating some long lasting, minor buffs for combat professions. The initial changes to these professions will be: Profession Dancer * Added new dance (Tumble) to Dancing Knowledge I * Added new dance (Tumble2) to Dancing Knowledge II * Added new dance (Breakdance) to Dancing Knowledge III * Added new dance (Breakdance2) to Dancing Knowledge IV * Removed the 15 second delay between stopping one song or dance and starting a new song or dance. * Removed chance of making a mistake while dancing. Profession Musician * Added new song (Starwars4) to Novice Musician skill box. * Added new song (Funk) to Music Knowledge II. * Removed the 15 second delay between stopping one song or dance and starting a new song or dance. Profession - Image Designer * Reduced Image Designer skill point costs by 16 by reducing each skill box between Novice Image Designer and Master Image Designer by one point. * Removed Image Designer action timers for Body and Cosmetic changes.Special Actions (continued) * Players that have skill boxes in one of these affected professions will be allowed a skill re-spec for their character. This does not include the force sensitive skills. (A re-spec is short for "respecify". It is the chance to choose new skills for your character). * Special actions will follow a more traditional "3 phase" execution: Wind-up, Execution, and Cool-down. Certain actions don’t have ...
