Hey SWRPRG Community. At long-last, we are done with Force Powers and all of the run-up to F&D! We re-built 21 Powers, created 2 brand new ones, and then painstakingly assigned them to the 7 Careers, 47+ specializations (7 of which we had to pre-develop because they are new replacements for the Universalized Lightsaber Forms). The amount of discussion of the last month in future-proofing our Force and Destiny changes has been incredible, and we couldn’t have done it without the development enthusiasts jumping in with their great ideas and feedback!
As is customary, I will say that my favorite thing I’ve worked on this dev cycle was the Nerf Herder. I love Rangers, and I love animal companions, and I love Temuera Morrison. And when I realized that I could “Like a Bantha” into a specialization, that made the Nerf Herder joke even funnier, and even more engaging to turn this joke into a specialization worth being excited about! Otherwise, I’m actually very excited about our changes to Parry and Reflect (and their replacements, Block and Deflect). Our hope as we press into the more martial Jedi and Force Sensitive archetypes, the space saved by the de-rankified damage reduction will give the reSpec project the talent slots needed to make them engaging and enticing to play.
