Thanmk you for the help guys. I tried some stuff and it didn't work. So I'll try Steam next. Thanks again.

This will be the second time since coming back that it has looked like I have to re-install the game, and I'm not looking forward to doing it again, and hell I might not bother. I had this with the last major update, when I returned. It downloads the patch and goes to apply. Then it just gets stuck installing a numbered asset (in my case 343) and it just does nothing, no matter how long you leave it. No CPU or disc activity, just nothing. If you need me to send you something, be detailed in what you need, please. Thanks.

Hi, and I hope someone from the CS team can help me here. In regards to the LvD event do you need to reach Eternal Level to actually get the companion? It wasn't there at the start, so I am a little shocked to see it now. It would mean me and my friend would need to rush our way through. Thanks.

I have read posts on the SWTOR forums and reddit and other various places, that romance companions are broken. That going into Fallen Empire thay don't acknowledge your romance accordingly. In some cases it has been fine, but others? Not so much. I have also heard and kind of experienced that courting gifts are also broken, as in they don't give influence now as they used to, sometimes they do, sometimes not, or that it changed, or something. Can I please get some form of official word on these issues. To the point of knowing if they even are issues? I am currently playing my first character through Fallen Empire, my Trooper. She is relatively new-ish and I finished her conversations and made the romance with Aric during my lead up to playing Fallen Empire recently. So the romance was recent. I am leveling my Sith Warrior as well to take through, and her romance is quite old, she was my first 50 and my first to finish all conversations. So I will see if there is a problem there. I have had some issues with gifts, but then that seemed to change. I'm just not sure. Also another question is the gift thing just a reflection of the change from affection to influence? But I want to know what I'm getting into before I play older characters, so does my friend. Thank you for any information you can give.

Call it something like companions. I just want the ability to have the companions around my stronghold be able to be placed in chairs, using computers, sleeping in bed or whatever interaction you can think of. But I have more ideas then just that. I remember from way back that people like Quinn for the Sith warrior so I was thinking maybe if you decided to go with that, it could open a quest somewhere so you could replace him, but only after you went through an end of affection quest line or something. Same could go for Lord Scourge stuff like that, and then you could do a quest line to remedy that. You could add things for all your companions or just the ones that make sense. I am sure there are many other things you could add for companions in this idea like new romances, new personal quests, new interactions, new dialogue and experiences. These are just my initial ideas, not really laid out particularly well, but just flowing from my mind. I just think it seems in the same vein as the Strongholds expansion, which I am quite enjoying. It all started with the idea of being able to put companions in other places other then just standing in a corner or something, to make them a little more 'real'. Thanks for reading. Hoping Bioware does read these.

Can we please get the ability to get a set of moddable gear for our droid companions? Like we can for all the rest of them. With the cartel market we can get a set of gear for our other companions easily, but gearing droids is a hard annoying undertaking. It even gets difficult at high levels. I want them to function like the other companions do. I want to be able to do dailies and then be able to rip out mods and place them in their gear. But they are always limited to say 'chest' so maybe a set from the cartel market, or in a pack or from a vendor in game and a change to allow mods to be removed and added to droid gear. Thanks for your time. Hope something like this can happen.

I am with you dude. I paid a whopping 10 dollars, 10! I spend more on my lunch, almost daily. I really don't care about this, and I thank Bioware for the title. I have been happily enjoying the new and extra content from Rise for many months now, I have enjoyed it and have been having a blast. I got my early access. Would I do it again, you bet I would. Makeb was cool, if a little grindy. I liked the story, and look forward to more. Was a great bridge in the personal stories of each class. Can't wait to see what comes out next! Thanks also to all the people who realize that 10 dollars really isn't much for an expansion to a MMO. Especially one that gives you a solid amount of gameplay, like this one did.

Kashyyk, Manaan, or some places like Dantooine maybe?

In this day and age of the Cartel Store and all the armours out there available to get, I think the Social system needs a complete overhaul. Its is very redundant. People don't care about it and beyond the first flashpoints they are incredibly hard to get, and people just seem to be losing whatever interest was there. I think it needs a complete revamp. Or to be removed completely to be honest. No one seems to give the armours a second thought and getting them on a specific character is ridiculously hard at best. I have no suggestions beyond those already made, Legacy wide, make the things legacy available, just remove it and notch it up as a failed experiment. These are things I have seen thrown about. So in short something needs to be done about it cause at the moment it is less the useful or fun.

Downtimes will happen. Complaining about them is asinine (at best) and pointless. It will happen regardless of how many complain, because they have to.

I agree O.P.

I see a lot of negartive threads out there about this appreciation thing that's happening. I would like to say to Bioware, whatever it is, Thank you! Unequivocally Thank you! I have been subbing to the game since before it launched in Australia, about a month after launch. I bought both the Digital upgrade and then tracked down a CE and I have never felt I have wasted money. I buy a lot of coins from the Cartel Market and I have a awesome amount of fun playing and running about. So when I heard there was a subscriber appreciation coming, I wanted to say to the game developers, thank you for whatever you send our way. I hope this game is around for many years to come, I will continue to play, support and enjoy it as I think it is 'one of' if not 'the' best MMO's out there. I know that last bit will garner some yelling and whinging, but whatever, my opinion is mine, those who don't like it, whatever, why stay? THANKS!!!!! :rak_04:

I play this game a lot with my housemate. We have a great deal of fun, but we get miffed at how often things end in a Heroic 4, rather then a Heroic 2. I don't mind some grouping, but it seems that later game its almost all of it, I am always pleasantly surprised when a quest line ends in an Heroic 2! So my thoughts are this. Can we get more Heroic 2's? Or even better can the Heroic content in the game be made so it scales? If you are in a group of 2 it scales to be a Heroic 2, if you are in a group of 4 it scales to a Heroic 4, this includes going up from a 2 to a 4. That way guilds will get benefit, and people like me and my friend will get benefit. I understand this can probably not be done on non phased Heroic content.

I was thinking you could get one of the other voice actors, like say the guy who did the Smuggler voice to come back and record all the lines for the Jedi Knight or the Bounty Hunter and then selling that ability on the Cartel Shop. Or someone completely new and just have them do the lines and allow it to be transplanted onto your character. I just feel it would give playing the same story a different feel, or allow people to give their new character a feel they want, like a darker sounding voice for those who want to play a Dark side Jedi Knight. Or so on. I know I would buy the hell outta that.

One thing I was thinking of was having the ability to learn a new weapon from the Cartel shop. As in replacing your weapon and powers totally with that of another weapon. For example if you are playing a Trooper and you want to replace your Blaster Rifle with a Pistol you can buy that ability from the Cartel Shop. So you could be a tank with a Pistol set, and then you could use Pistols. Or play an Auto Cannon Trooper and replace your auto-cannon with a Blaster Rifle or Pistol. Or a Gunslinger Smuggler and replace your Dual pistols with a sniper Rifle. Or giving your single blade Jedi the ability to use a Double bladed lightsaber. Allowing your consular to use two lightsabers. I wouldn't support non Jedi using lightsabers, so I would keep it 'real' in a way. I suppose it would be as easy as transplanting say the agent sniper rifle powers onto the gunslinger, and so on. Thanks for reading.
