A. If people have friends on the other faction and want to play together, considering that it takes a long time to build up the alliance for each character it'd make sense to just have cross-faction to ease the burden of having to re-do everything if you don't want to. B. Social points are good C. Yeah the speed of completing it alone vs with someone else is very noticeable, it makes runs much faster

Considering the story elements at play and how the Republic and Empire are united in taking out the Arcann and Zakuul, it'd make sense to have a co-op option for crossplay when doing any of the Star Fortress', and I guess any of the future group content in the KOTFE expansion. Like it would've made sense to have the same option when taking down Revan, however this option is probably more do-able since its made for a 2-man group (that can be expanded up to 4 people if you wanted too). I mean you wouldn't be able to go anywhere and do whatever in a group with the opposite faction, it'd just be secluded to the Star Fortress flashpoint.

That's not the point of the discussion though, there are no natural cover positions in the expansion environments at all.

I guess in Shadow of Revan specifically it was a lot of natural terrain. open areas and objects that were too large to take cover behind. In KOTFE there are a lot of crates and barricades that you'd think would be great for cover positions but you can't use them for cover.

I've played through the 9 chapters on my Smuggler and noticed that there are 0 cover spots located throughout any of the environments. I guess it is kind of a minor note but part of the fun of the IA and Smuggler is that you get to roll around in combat situations. Otherwise, really enjoying the expansion, great work!

Class-specific armor that changes the animation of skills. E.g. A pair of gloves where one hand is a cannon for a bounty hunter, and it shoots rockets out of it.

At its core though, I just want guild ships and for them to have some gameplay meaning than to just simply having them sit there.

The drop down boxes dont work i dont think, i click the arrows for each section but nothing happens. Server: The Swiftsure Name: Dynamite, Destrucshot, Dynashot, Zallesh [what i want to transfer] Problem: As mentioned before, the up and down buttons are clickable but i dont think the dropdown boxes are working.

The smuggler gear looks bland AND disgusting, just to get my personal opinion out of the way first. Bolts on the side of my head? whut? I think for smugglers, you should experiment with a variety of styles. The themes you should be exploring are tech expert, desert walker, street thug, nobility [but more like Lando nobility], alderaanian [ties in with nobility], demolitions expert, combat medic, raggy-yet-fully-covered clothing [fits with desert walker], and I think you could dip into the bounty hunter style of armor every once in awhile. Regardless, ugh, i hate the smuggler set.

Is there any update on the progress of the oceanic servers supposedly coming online in March, and if things like free character transfers to those servers are coming along with it [This is a very important discussion topic for my guild and many others]?

A lot of people are confused or angry about it [who are aware of it], and I was wondering if we could get a breakdown from a Bioware dev as to why it will be nerfed, some of the reasoning behind it etc. Is the metrics the reason as to why its getting nerfed or are players for some reason noticing its overall DPS advantage compared to every other stat? [i wasn't aware it was better than the other stats if it was, but would just like some info]

the game is totally going f2p in two months.... /cough /facepalm

This game needs pazaak, multiplayer space combat, and guild ships.

A man of exceptional strength, courage and tenacity has taken his place among the gods of war. With his mix of capabilities seen from the likes of those who lead the great armies in history, to those who command our armies today, no opponent shall seize the Galactic Republic's grasp on Ilum, aslong as Leonidas is there to command us! All recognise the true leader of the republic's forces, all hail Leonidas!

Won't talk about what i feel of the actual content of the soundtrack, but some of the names to music is kind of.. weird? "Qui-gon's noble end" is cheery cantina music? "Droid Invasion and the appearance of darth maul" slow cantina music with singing? "High Council Meeting and Qui-gon's funeral" funky music you hear on the republic fleet? am starting to think this was some kind of mistake, lol.
