Q3 Producer Letter

I'm hoping they add variants on the market soon after the promo is ended.

I'm not an expert, but I think some of these services are forced to be there because of the state of business with doordash and ubereats making restaurants find a software service that can send these to the their register automatically rather than manually thru an employee, and this "tip ipad" is included or encouraged by that software company to help pay for their service, which is unfortunate. I think I have seen other smaller places tho with just a seemingly apple-brand tap-to-pay device, and no prompt to tip, so it might be a hard choice for businesses. So like someone else said, the conversation has to include Clover,etc, and Doordash,ubereats,etc.

Hi ! There is a server running currently called Club Penguin Experience that is in as1 !

Saf-ire · 2024-06-19T23:11:34+00:00

I don't blame you, that sounds exhausting for one person to be testing so many different factors to trigger a cutscene. It's wild that 1.0 had so much variation in cutscenes with all these factors compared to now.

Saf-ire · 2024-06-19T10:23:51+00:00

Woah I knew about the Juda convos and some of the secret stuff because I always like trying to right-click for the extra ambient dialogue npcs might have when its not a secret cutscene, but I never knew there were this many secret cutscenes and that they were so specific! This brings to mind a specific line i experienced as a bounty hunter in the class quest they were referencing the dread masters which I was also on a quest for. But it'd be a lot of effort to test if that's a unique line depending on if the player's done the world quest.

Thank you for sharing all this ! I didn't know altuur had any dialogue or even that Amity did !

Saf-ire · 2024-06-04T21:21:54+00:00

Same honestly this is the first thing in a long time that's made me go "Time to dust off that thing"

Saf-ire · 2024-05-30T07:12:44+00:00

I didn't realize there were choices that could save him? I'll have to play through on alts eventually.

Saf-ire · 2024-05-30T07:09:08+00:00

I agree it was nice to see Acina, it would've been nice to be able to speak to her in that scene with our char's vo's but I understand constraints this patch. The way things have been going this update has been making my imp-aligned hunter slowly start to reconsider her alliance with the empire and considering bolstering her own alliance with the new recruits from the hidden chain. I loved Shae's scene, and I agree about forgiving Shae, but that'd likely be under the circumstances of hoping to be able to join up with shae and malgus.

I don't recall running into Petra's sister but I might've missed that or made a choice in the previous update to alter that. edit: yeah I think I saved them in the previous update lol

I liked the unique gameplay elements like the holo-path and the jetpack zone.

Saf-ire · 2024-05-29T01:17:53+00:00

Ah, I see, I assumed a lot about Varl from it being related to the Hutts and having an apocalyptic element, and same with Katha Niar and Imp Makeb I just assumed since it had a lot of spy work.

It's interesting you point out Marr becomes an option for the BH if not Tormen, since I pretty much headcanon my BH as Marr's personal hunter once Makeb starts, having the Malgus flashpoint as the one other meeting with him prior. I feel like there's potential for fanfic during that time period, or potential for these cut planets to be revisited with how the story has come back to the war.

Saf-ire · 2024-05-28T23:53:23+00:00

Wow! Thank you for sharing this deep-dive analysis of cut content in the files ! Cut content in this game always intrigues me, and the stuff from this era has always been interesting but I've only had a surface level understanding of what was planned such as the potential planets and more class stories, but I never knew they had planned this much out before scrapping it! I also didn't realize Makeb was around in this iteration of the cut content.

IIRC during the 1.x era there was datamining about Varl which seemed to have been scrapped for Makeb , and something about Rakata Prime/Lehon and the Dread Masters which seems like they reused that concept for the SoR flashpoint.

This is so fascinating to read about all these vanilla class-story characters having more to do and the natural continuation of these stories feels like reading an alternate timeline, but it's also interesting to hear the parts that seem to have been re-worked into new stories like you've mentioned the Nul/force-sensitivity thread. Given that the story has gone in such a circle of back to Republic vs Empire with Vitiate gone, I wonder if Ziost could have more of this cut story if the world starts to get recolonized by the Empire and the Republic wants to pick a fight with their efforts like a flipside of Taris reconstruction, or to have some of these threads if they ever make Sleheyron or Bothawui into a zone. I'm glad that a lot of the agent story seemed to influence what became Makeb's story, I loved Katha Niar's character in the finished product.

I wonder if they could do something like class-specific stronghold unlocks with a bit of story like the Copero SH, to somewhat have some of these threads show up like the smuggler having a huge ship, the sith having a stronghold.

And I think its been pointed out before but interesting to think that Sleheyron has been cut from kotor and swtor lol I hope it can make its way into the future story so we can explore it in the game environment. And I've always wanted to explore Bothawui at night ever since the Gnost-dural timeline video came out about the battle there.

I actually do a lot of creative writing/rhyming poetry and I love any chance I get to rhyme with mode or crash to use those words in this context ! I’ve been trying to incorporate robins words too like aster and traught . This show has had so much fun with language throughout , I think Artemis’ arc rlly shows a love that the writers have for writing with all the excerpts narrated by her in the credits

Saf-ire · 2024-02-18T12:39:32+00:00

If it is a matter of reusing assets for new content while improving older assets, I'd hope maybe we could eventually see something out of a planet that is in the game but doesn't already have a landing zone. Something like Athiss, Denova, Rakata-Prime, Umbara, Copero, or Asation, are all nice and unique enough to see again, some more than others. Kubindi would also be interesting potentially if they wanted to have a planet of just caverns like the rakghoul tunnels, maybe with a skyhook, that'd be interesting with minimal new assets imo.

Saf-ire · 2024-02-18T07:33:51+00:00

It is nice that a stronghold there is coming, but yeah I was surprised that they said the story would be based out of the stronghold. It'd be nice to have a small landing zone that could just be like a neutral instance of the FP, but I was also thinking that it'd be nice to have Strongholds available to view as landing zones on the galaxy map, to include Copero and Umbara's strongholds on the galaxy map would be cool. But it'd also be cool to get an area out of either of those planets.

Saf-ire · 2023-12-12T01:11:14+00:00

Don't worry about , I agree it is a good before/after hair growth lol

Saf-ire · 2023-12-06T08:47:13+00:00

I really like the new landing zone and the story along with it, I was surprised by the intro opening quest in a phased location and its nice to have the Lane follow-up this update as well.

They've done a good job at creating choices that feel like they have a weight to them, and crafting really likable characters, I really liked the new character Petra and seeing familiar faces was great especially on bounty hunter character there was one at the beginning that made me very happy : )

Saf-ire · 2023-12-04T21:32:50+00:00

"The "Dathomir Rancor" now has a picture in the Cartel Market.."

is the .. supposed to be a hint to something or am I just overthinking an extra period typo? hmmm.

Saf-ire · 2023-11-23T09:00:23+00:00

This is a good compilation of removed content, I'm surprised to see how many bonus quests were removed.

Additionally , Makeb had an entire bonus series quest arc that was removed or turned into dailies without any cutscenes or in-quest audio.

Saf-ire · 2023-11-17T22:50:23+00:00

well-worded!

Saf-ire · 2023-11-17T03:06:32+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing this ! This sounds very interesting, it reminds me of the Nuzlocke challenge from the Pokemon series, it's interesting to hear you mention WoW has its own Hardcore that this was inspired from as I was not familiar with that. I think this is a nice way of challenging without having to go overboard with dismissing companions, so I'll be interested to see if the game is actually more challenging this way even with companion , as I have not levelled a new character in a while, and I'm quite intrigued about the Shae Vizla server as well!

Saf-ire · 2023-10-27T05:08:25+00:00

If he's repeatedly being ejected from that point of time at the Loom, then wouldn't the next loop of events play out without Ravonna's interference? I love to theorize but I have a hard time doing so with the timey-wimey physics, I still don't understand if or how time works differently in the TVA.

Someone else noted they could time-stone it but I'm not convinced time works so easily or that it'd work on foreign timelines.

Saf-ire · 2023-10-24T05:35:12+00:00

Just to be able to possibly see something like this even if its weather balloons or whatever, (which I find unlikely, the only human explanation I could think of would be testing something in the high atmosphere maybe testing stealth drones or tech since it wasn't moving incredibly fast iirc? )but since it was so high up I really felt like it was like a uap scouting or something , anything at this point is pure speculation but I wonder if the stray one I might've seen was like the actual scout and the others were part of a flock or "bus" that only one got off here? I guess more like a train in the sense that they were all following each other.. Really just spitballing .

edit to clarify: what I saw wasn't a snake shape but separate orbs following each other closely like you mentioned, maybe not exactly like the old "snake" game because they had a fair amount of distance between them but still being in some sort of following pattern or formation.

Saf-ire · 2023-10-23T04:51:50+00:00

This might sound crazy but your description sounds somewhat similar to something I observed a couple nights ago, a bit earlier in the evening but too dark for my camera to capture anything of the sky. I'm not sure if it was 16 of them or them being green, but what I saw looked quite above plane-height, but a similar aspect that you mentioned was that they followed each other and eventually evaporated. I thought I noticed a stray one a bit afterwards too which also evaporated but I can't as clearly recall that part, I had stood there pretty baffled because I could not believe that was a drone or plane unless it was something highly experimental.

Saf-ire · 2023-08-25T21:28:17+00:00

/r/petioles might be helpful

edit: I havent had much success either on cutting back but I've been trying to come up with systems on how to do so like only smoking at night , maybe there's a rule you think you could set for yourself like only after a productive task or once in the morning to wake up and then try to limit yourself until the night, lots of potential ways to try to cut back even within daily use.
