The Bounty or Contracts Table

I like the concept of a bounty table. But I don't want it to be like the usual stages and three star etc there's already too much in the game of that (light side dark side cantina and mods).

Instead I would like to see some sort of system where there are randomly generated assignments that you can select. At first evryone starts of with menial ones (say spend so and so energy, or defeat this character etc) and each completion nets you credits (obviously), and reputation points. You would have to search the game LS DS cantina or mod battles to find the character to beat etc.

Moving up the tiers of the reputation grants longer harder but more exciting assignments. Something like defeat a PvP opponent who has Palpatine in their squad whilst you use a bounty hunter in your team.

This style means there's almost an infinite possibility of randomly generated assignments. Some assignments may need to be completed over a few days but net even better rewards (loads more credits, and prize boxes for gear).

Build your way up to be the best bounty hunter in the galaxy!
It's fun and alleviates the credit and gear heist and is different form the usual battles in the game

See?!? This is what I'm talking about - I like the reputation idea and the randomly generated assignments. If you don't have so and so to complete this assignment, well you're pretty much SOL, maybe you can get in on the next assignment.

Nice feedback!

+1

Lol, even lego star wars did this.

It just a development of your idea aha. But it would be a really awesome feature and breaks the mold of the current game formats. Whilst I do enjoy ships it's the same format as the main game. We need something to diversify the format

This is a great idea and promotes experimentation for established players who are bored of regular arena --> GW --> raid. I love the idea of spreading it to arena situations as well. Examples could be "win a PVP match with Cad Bane as leader" or "prevent an enemy from reviving with Boba's Execute" or "lose a PVP match with one enemy remaining" (hard one).

GW examples could be "kill all enemies in a GW match without taking damage" or "kill at least 10 jedis in GW"

I think challenges should refresh on a daily basis, and like previously said, if you can't meet a challenge as you don't have the toon then you're SOL.

I do like what you started here! <3

So theres 3 daily story/bounty missions that rotate daily. These give you reputation, and this is how you unlock the boards and nodes.

(maybe reputation is aquired by guild to unlock nodes and ally points used to do the individual nodes on the board once unlocked by guild)

(Make these story/bountys accessable at say lv 50 so players can start gathering reputation)

So the board is setup like gw/ls/ds with different nodes increasing the payout as levels progress of the following... (brainstorming)

Board 1
1.)Credits
2.)Ship credits
3.)Guild shop tokens
4.)Ship shop tokens
5.)Arena tokens
6.)Galactic war tokens

Board 2
7.)Shard shop tokens
8.)Unobtainiums (maybe a low drop rate for a few pieces)
9.)Ship hardware (you know its coming)
10.)Gems! (A small amount)
11.)Ally points
12.)? Tba


Okay heres the kicker!
You have 3 chances daily, pending reputation/ap available (PERIOD) which node you clear is your choice, 3 different ones or same one. No refresh beyond 3. No retries. You lose, that is still one of your 3 tries gone. So access is limited by what you have in your roster, and NOBODY can do any node more than 3 times a day and those get harder for each daily repeat!

Now keep in mind this board is gonna be insanely difficult...even more so if you try to repeat a node. This board is designed with level caped players that have several teams g10+ in mind. (But a toned down, less rewarding beginer board should be available if reputation accumlation is guild orientated)

This also perfect way to make use of your allys as 6th squad member or as a forced ally in repeats.
(Heck some repeats of same node might include addition prerequisites like "must use CUP" or "ugnaught must survive"...you get idea)

Now again these rewards are pure, just the aforementioned categories...and you must clear one each node (once) to gain access to next one. (Or not) This can be incorporated into the guilds by making reputation something accumulated by the guild to unlock the reward nodes, or boards and then individual players use ally points to do the individual nodes.

*shoot, the nodes unlocked by guild via reputation can be reset weekly, monthly etc, or different periods of time pending guild size*

Each board (maybe intro a intro board with just say 3 nodes so players under lv 85 can get a feel for the end game big boy board that you unlock at lv 85) is same as previous but gives a increased amount of payout/access to types of node rewards.

You could even introduce limited time event boards as well...where you can unlock unique characters! This will give f2p/p2p both a chance at new things. And these limited time event boards would feature refreshs, but limited amounts of them, giving p2p an edge. But slightly.

Just an expansion of OP'S idea! I love it! <3

Agreed -

I'll use Empire Strikes Back as an example - Luke is on his way to Bespin and the Empire needs to get there first. Vader puts a contract out for a group of empire or bounty hunters to go there first, and fortify Bespin before the empire gets there.

Boba Fett is transporting Han Solo to Jabba the Hutt - he needs back-up. Help Boba fight his way across the galaxy to deliver Han to Jabba...

It doesn't need to be something in-between an actual event in the movies, just an idea.

Oh the possibilities are endless! They could have some really creative assignments with very specific requirements. Some of the extremely harder ones could even make you lose rep (not a lot but some) if you fail. And as you said it includes experimenting with arena and GW if you want to complete the assignments. they could even tie jango fett as the unlock toon for reaching the highest tiers of rep

Keep it semi simple. The Battlefront idea was simple and it more or less overlapped regular game experience but forced you to do or play in a certain way.

Big problem is if it's anything like battlefront - newer players are going to get stuck unable to complete a lot of them, I'd say it should be lvl 85 and up, at least by then you probably have something like depth in your team (potentially)

I like it. It'll probably be more of a head ache for most people and too easy for established players.

TBH I think I'd rather see more options in current combat. Just a touch of tactics, maybe the battlefield scenes all have something you can interact with (like the rancor door control) IDK. Shoot X and a barrier pop up and a toon can use it for cover. I really don't know, but I wouldn't mind expanding on the battle experience before overlaying exterior things on how you do the battles.

OK - so we have:

1.) Gotta have a table, just because. It can be only one table, that's cool with me but it would need to change daily - or have different tables with different contracts.
2.) I really like the reputation idea, but it would need to tie-in somehow to the game. Maybe it can be guild related? Higher rep for players directly affects your guild, maybe the leaderboard somehow.
3.) The reward base like Loose_Lee brought up is good. It allows you to get rewards as you progress through the board, to an ultimate reward.
4.) The story line is what has me really drawn in. I love the fact that you may interact with a main character to get an assignment and have it tie-in to the board.
5.) Refreshes being limited, time limits are good - makes people have to think fast - sometimes it's good, sometimes you make mistakes - could either win or lose the battle for you. I like this more I think about it.
6.) Ultimate goal would need to be big, no doubt about it. No shards at all - full characters and if you already have that toon, you can trade it in at the shard shop or whatever.
7.) The black market idea still has me going. A way to sell back or trade in what you've earned to get something better and better.

I like the fact that it will make players think outside of the box a little and force them to do things that may cause rep to increase - or fall depending on the decisions they make.
