- Proposal
- Entertainers use their talents to gain access to high-ranking officials on both sides of the GCW as part of a new intel gathering mini game. Which would ultimately lead to a new flow of repeatable content for combat players of both factions.
- Justification
- Bounty Hunters and Smugglers are currently the only professions to have specific mini games tied to them and these are proven to be popular amongst players. This idea would be an opportunity to build on the GCW by offering new ways to take part.
- Motivation
- I believe all professions should have access to a mini game that not only enables them to take part in the GCW, but one that creates a sustainable stream of repeatable content for others.
How it could work:
When an Entertainer is buffing they will be presented with a new option to "schmooze" the listener/watcher mid-buff. If schmoozing is accepted by the player, this will enable the Ent to apply additional points to their buff (maybe a 25pt buff?) in exchange for this, the Ent is awarded a piece of GCW intelligence which is deposited in the Ent's inventory as a new consumable data-disk item.
What happens with the intel disks?
Option 1: Entertainers can choose to sell this to an NPC for credits such as to a Bothan Information Broker for any Imperial Intel or an ISB agent for any Rebel Intel. These would function like a Junk Dealer and might be found in places like the Imperial Outpost on Dantooine.
Option 2: Entertainers can collect information until all 5 pieces are gathered. This can then be combined into a single disk which is tradable to other players (for free or for credits) and once activated will unlock a group level mission to Yavin IV or Endor to take on a Factional PvE Base.
GCW Risk vs Reward
There would need to be an element of risk in this for the Entertainer and whilst it would be overkill to add them to the BH terminals for selling info, perhaps there are other risk vs reward opportunities that could be deployed to add an element of excitement and danger.
