I still don't think BW has addressed this cartel market K'lor'slug creature companion bug issue , still no tricks available like the nexu etc other creature companions have.

BW staff ignoring Disciplines of a player characters instead your focusing on their advanced class when opening RNG loot crates is a big mistake in my opinion , under your current method its going to likely take tank and healer inclined players with multiple (heal/dps & tank/dps combos respectfully) Disciplines in their advanced classes double the time pure dps players like marauders etc will take to gear up. It needs to be based on Discipline choice not advanced class one for this very reason.

OP i have to say your thread title is a tad misleading since obviously Xalek is a male sith apprentice companion character. He could like many other companions be a more fleshed out one story wise, we'd all like that i'm sure I think the real focus of the OPs thread isn't so much a sith apprentice male companion in general like the thread title suggests but a romancable one.

The OP and some other players here may not like datacrons (especially those involving lots of jump mechanics I get where those lot are coming from). Though I for one that has achieved the 'datacron master' title in-game relish the distraction they provide as a optional acitivity to do alongside the day in day out pve/pvp "grinds" on offer . So I'm all for Bioware adding new datacrons for us to find and collect , with all the focus on story,pve and pvp content this game has it only strengthens the game to include some side activities like datacron hunting etc for the playerbase to go off and enjoy/explore.

my top 3 next playable species :- 1. Nautolan 2. Nikto 3. Vurk http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vurk

Mounts I would like to see added are: 1. Reek 2. Drouk 3. Terror From Beyond Boss mount 4. Hssis 5. Tuk'ata 6. more jetpacks like wings of arcitect style. 7. Nexu mount 8. a similar speeder to Dooku's Geonosian speeder from episode 2: http://swg.wikia.com/wiki/Geonosian_Speeder 8. TFB version of Kephess mount

Not to be "that guy" but if BW/EA was going to do a website overhaul (and I'm not saying that they are or aren't of course) wouldn't they wait until closer to the expansion launch or post-expansion release date october 27th the offical date I believe at this point since the new level cap will be 65?

I'd like confirmation like the next guy on this but I fear BW / EA will stick to the status quo of silence is golden routine... I guess we will know come july 21st one way or the other.

My top choice after the release of Togruta species as a playable option would have to be Nautolan species followed by Nikto.

My suggestion to help combat credit sellers/power leveler spam is to ask BW/EA to make the /who search list function as opt-in/opt-out tickbox. So we can effectively "hide" from other player searches if we wish to or not. while this won't eliminate the spam altogether it would make it harder for them to know our in-game character names on mass and require more 'effort' on their part to spam us day in and day out via tells or mail spam etc.

I'm not sure we've seen enough of Valkorian to know how truely "scary" he is or not and obviously what his connection is or isn't to Vitiate. Though I will say this it takes a man with a trick card up his sleeves to stare death in the face and not flinch when one of your sons is about to stab you in the back with a lightsaber. Unless of course he knew the other son would 'step in' and save him at that final moment because there can only be one heir to the throne of zakuul / enternal empire.

I actually thought "the emperor", father of the twins shown in the trailer that he sounded more like british actor Jeremy Irons but i doubt its him either

Atris robes for the chest perhaps but it depends if you want the episode 1 TPM look for darth maul or his clone wars series topless/cyborg style appearance.

SWG did count dooku proud I think with his own bust statue, link below:- http://swg.wikia.com/wiki/Count_Dooku_Bust

Nautolan is still my top choice for the next playable species and seems to have a good following since the games launch lets hope BW add it one day. My other choice(s) for playable species would be Nikto or Voss (the lore issue is debatable with this one though) .
