A sort of prize wheel for quests/events

Slay the pirate king, turn in the hutt’s stolen loot, whatever. In exchange, you get a ticket or something and you take it to one of the PRIZE MACHINES in the galaxy and you get a chance at like 1 of 10 items.

This way we can come up with a good list of balanced rewards and not have to worry about re-inventing the wheel every time we make a new event. This wouldn’t be mandatory, we can still come up with unique stuff, But having a default reward system in place might speed things along.

We’ve done something similar in the past for Christmas presents

I like this idea, would spawn some unique events and rewards and would be a pretty cool thing to have added on top of what we have. Do we need to post ideas for quests.. or rewards here?

I was just seeing all the bored combat mains hanging out and thought It’d be fun if there were something we could go do for a decent item or prize or even credits (I assume X credits will be a prize).

The way I’m picturing it is little bases or dungeons with challenges/tough monsters at the end and when they die, you loot a token and spin the wheel.

Would you be opposed to having the items for sale on a special vendor for tokens? Like a special repeater for 100 tokens, the game’s best battery for 20 tokens, etc.? That way people can bounce around and explore new content where tokens load and work toward something useful for themselves and it prevents the boredom of one-offs like Sabacc being really cool but having no real point in ever returning again. Also tokens could be stealable, making a fun target for those types of chars.

Theoretically instead of being a prize wheel, it could just be a ‘Chuck-E-Cheese ticket turn in for your prize’ thing. I don’t have very strong feelings one way or another.

Ah, so you would complete said quests or whatever rewards tokens (I assume we’ll have various places to go and earn said tokens?) And then some type of in game casino or what have you where there will be a mob that lets us turn in said tickets for items listed at the vendor? This sounds pretty amazing and like Ryken said if we were able to go back to nifty quest lines, or places that we only go once and never visit again gaining tickets there would be a pretty sweet thing. It would make those mini quest hubs more than a temporary thing until everyone is geared. There would always be people in places collecting these tokens and perhaps you could trade/steal the tokens and their could be high end engineering items and what have you?

I would definitely spend hours doing this/ or becoming a token trader 😛 We could make more tiny areas with simple quest lines or like Ryken said again boss mobs that ended up rewarding tokens. I think a lot of players would enjoy this feature as it just adds more activities to engage in, and would make areas traversed often.
