Proposal
1. Effects on NPC sold beverages in the cantina
2. Placeable/Configurable Lugjack and Jubilee machines
3. Sabaac Mini-Game
Justification
Fun and Immersive
Motivation
Fun and Immersion
Nifty Drinks:
The drinks sold in the cantina are completely a waste of time and effort. The NPC bartenders are negligible riff-raff, just like their fathers before them.. NO LONGER. Why not just make the drinks there do silly stupid fun little things that don't affect anything except your experience in the cantina?
Possible Effects:
- Blurry Distorted Screens like in Other MMOs
- Glowy like a Force Ghost?
- Force Mood Change: Drunk (for an amount of time)
- Force Language to include more ssss's

Just stupid things like that.. I don't know might be fun for a relaxing night in the cantina!

(Make them more expensive so buying a drink for someone is a baller move)

Placeable Gambling Machines:
Perhaps a collection or schematic for placeable Jubilee Wheels and Lugjack machines where the house pot is fed by the owner player and the bets can be adjusted to more than 3 credits hehe.. I mean can you say, PASSIVE income (or PASSIVE expense?)!

The assets are already in the game they just need to be modified to be player owned and run.

A little bit of a reach:
Sabaac Mini-game.. that is all that needs to be said.

The day i am allowed to set up a vendor to sell spice in a cantina as a "legitimate business man" is a day that no one on the development team has anything to do. Just saying Slices, Spices and Parties has a good ring to it. I could be rolling in the credits, just saying. But how do you want something like this prioritized over Mustafar or balance for Commando? I like this idea but in the near future i do not see it a priority.

Parts of this would require the same or less effort than a seasonal event! Where do I want it to be as a priority? Wherever it lands on the list is fine by me. Just making the world more immersive and interactive sounds great in the long run.

Also, you can setup a spice vendor in a cantina?!

I was just looking at the prop NPC bartenders as useless. They aren't a credit sink and the drinks have atrocious and negligible effects. I didn't want bartenders to replace chefs but having them make drinks with neat effects and making the drinks more expensive would make for some cantina shenanigans.

As for the gambling stuff.. those are ideas. The theory is easy but in the spaghetti code who knows what player owned gambling machines would like.

Sabaac? That is a pipe-dream haha. But worthy of mention given the subject of the post.

Better yet, bareknuckle/paw boxing mini game that isn't connected to the base combat system. Like a quick time event where every time they hit the wrong button or mess up the timing, they get hit by the other player. No need to balance builds around it, then. Just good fun.
