New Daniel Erickson Interview by Machinima Realm | Crew Skills (and more)

Hi

Just in case anyone missed my thread on the official TOR forums...

There's a new interview with Daniel Erickson by Machinima Realm:

Part 1

Part 2 is possibly not up yet.


Some quick notes:

• Apart from implants, Biochem crafting can be used to make Adrenals (strength boost) and Stimpacks (healing).
  
  
• Your affection (Affection Rating) with your companion will increase your crit chances (on loot etc).
  
  
• Blue items mentioned again.
  
  
• The "best" crafting ingredients are things that can only be found "out in the field".
  
  
• Getting alignment points (Lightside/Darkside) through Crew Missions can for example be used to "atone" for some of your past Darkside actions.
  
  
• There are Darkside and Lightside rewards.
  
  
• There are gear restrictions (Darkside/Lightside related?).
  
  
• There's some "powerstuff" (Darkside/Lightside related?).
  
  
• Your character can get a visual "blazing" when you're the "darkest of the dark".
  

Cheers

The darkside/lightside restrictions aren't new they were mentioned before (aka last year) and they existed in KoTOR too.

I have the feeling that the "event" they did last week was GIGANTIC, all those crafting videos...I can't wait for all the Jedi hands-on to be released.

He forgot to mention that when you're crafting armor, you're ACTUALLY creating armor.

When you craft weapons, you're crafting weapons.

/straight face pose....

Part 2 is up!

Each class story has three chapters. Each chapter will be longer than Mass Effect! The end of the third chapter will leave you at lvl 50.

Confirmed that level cap is level 50 too and endgame is story based...hehehe.

I can't wait for the endgame bit to be cinematic...

Though, I'm waiting on the endless QQ'ers who want a McDonalds drive through raid experience.

Poor raiders:

- endgame is story based,
- people can crit on treasure hunting to get nice loot,
- crafters can make the best stuff on the server,

Although, I think that some of the people who are QQing just want the exact same formula as in game X, simply because they won't need to learn the new system...Lazy people.

I really liked the 3 most recent interviews from machinima
They asked all the right questions.
