I agree with this 100%, I've been playing again for a few days now and it's been driving me crazy how frequently my companion just stands there and does nothing even when I manually tell them to attack. With such a major bug existing I can't say how long this return will last.

I've done that a ton, still happens. I don't speak german either, but at the top of the page there are three buttons labeled En, Fr, and De which correspond to english, french, and german, clicking En fixes it when it happens but it happens every time I visit the site.

Been doing it for months for me, wish I could make it stop

For some reason every time I visit the SWTOR website or forums the language defaults to german and I have to manually switch to english, why does this keep happening? I live in the US, my language is set to english in my personal info, yet it keeps happening. It's a minor issue sure, but it's getting very frustrating.

I think if Leia wasn't originally scripted to die in 8 they should try to work in a self-sacrifice death for her using what they currently have, it would be true to the character and much better than having her die off-screen. Would also be great if they could do it with little or no CGI, but that depends entirely on what they have to work with. Whatever they do, I really hope they address it in 8 instead of leaving us with that big question mark until 9 comes out in 3 years.

Well, I haven't read any Wars novels since my beloved "Legends" got the axe, so I honestly had no idea Ventress was dead now. They should find a way to mention that in rebels somehow, cause I'm sure I'm not the only one who was expecting her to show up at some point. When is it specifically stated that Snoke is non-human? I know the wiki says he's an alien, but I can't find a source for that. He looks rather human to me, though horribly disfigured. And I wouldn't count Sabine out in a real confrontation with her. I'd see Ezra as being heavily conflicted in such a situation and trying to convince Sabine to come with him, therefore not using the force until the very end as a means of escape once she injured him. Or, alternatively, the writers could bring ysalamiri into canon and have Sabine bring one with her.

1) X-Wing/TIE Fighter/XvT/X-Wing Alliance 2) Rogue Squadron 3) Jedi Outcast/Jedi Academy

I personally think Kanan will die, and Ezra will go on to become Snoke. What I would like to see is Maul kill Kanan, and then Ventress show up and take over Ezra's training, under the guise of being a redeemed dark jedi. They could then borrow from Legends Lumiya's subtle turning of Jacen by presenting sith/dark siders in a better light, using the dark side to legitimately help others, with Ventress slowly turning Ezra over the course of a season, culminating in Ezra killing either Maul or Ventress herself in the series finale in a brutal act that causes the crew of the Ghost to abandon him, with Sabine messing him up pretty good with the darksaber.

/sigh ... wanted to start the download before going to work ... even with an amazing internet connection (180 mbps) SWTOR patches always download at a snails pace ...

There are posts about this all over the place, to the point there is almost always at least one on the first page of general. I completely agree though, this needs to be changed, and if its not its only going to hurt Bioware's profits, because myself and many others have lost all desire for CM armor sets now that they cannot be applied to our new companions.

They should just introduce an "Epic Mode" for those that dislike the current companion situation. Turning this on would ideally do the following: - Nerf companions health, damage, and healing - Boost instance mob levels by 1 or 2 - Give companions an ability that increases the stats of the player, but not enough to compensate for the reduction in companion stats This would give the people who are upset what they want, without upsetting those who enjoy the current situation.

Are you more or less likely to purchase packs from the Market and why? I am currently significantly less likely, though it has nothing to do with the market itself. A very large portion of my CM purchases were made with my companions in mind, with the remainder being the seemingly endless search for a set of armor I actually liked on my jedi knight. The free 60 came with the solution to my jedi armor problem (off topic, that set is amazing), and, most importantly, KotFE companions are unable to wear any armor, which completely negates my main reason for making CM purchases in the first place. I know you are not in any way involved in companion stuff, but if you could maybe shoot an email to someone who is it would be awesome. I am not over stating this in the least, the inability to change the armor on KotFE companions has had a HUGE impact on my desire to buy CM items, and I know many players feel the same way.

On the whole, I'd say I like the majority of the changes being made, as it will help ensure all items are always available. However, there is one line at the end that was given no elaboration of any kind: "The current list of available direct sale items will be pruned down quite a bit." Does this mean the armor sets and various weapons available for direct buy, or something else? Could we get an up[date on this before it goes live please, theres still one or 2 direct buy sets I'd like that I haven't pulled the trigger on because I haven't yet started playing the classes I want them on, and I'm sure I'm not alone in that regard, so it would be nice to know if I will be losing direct buy access to these items.

The point was that there is no class or spec like that which can achieve optimal performance while using not two pistols, not a wile-e-coyote canon, but a Blaster Rifle. This has been requested more than most (but not all) new class ideas, and as such would be a natural addition should they ever decide to add new advanced classes.

Meant no Melee only abilities in its rotation, lol I should have been more specific, regular abilities would still be usable at close range, and situational melee abilities would be fine. Basically, they would be a full blown ranged DPS class that uses a blaster rifle.

New classes really aren't doable with this game unfortunately, its just too involved since they would require their own 1-50 story. New advanced classes, on the other hand, are very doable, and there's room for plenty of ideas. My suggestions would be: Jedi Knight / Sith Warrior: Double Bladed Lightsaber Consular / Inquisitor: Dual Wield, with Lightsaber in main hand and Blaster in off hand (would be a very unique experience) Smuggler / Agent: Unarmed or Teras Kasi Trooper / Bounty Hunter: Something that can use a Blaster Rifle at range, melee abilities limited to situational uses only and NOT as an integral part of DPS. I will never understand why such an iconic weapon class has been relegated to melee only ...

Kira Carsen - Second in Command Nadia Grell - My Padawan, or Kira's if I'm not a force user Elara Dorne - Medic HK 55 - Meatbag Elimination Specialist Rusk - Designated ******, can be replaced with that Weequai (I know I'm butchering that spelling) Trooper companion

Light side female sith pureblood jedi Knight or consular, or maybe a sith or chiss trooper

They aren't new, they've existed before. Pretty sure one of the sith in the legacy comics used one.

Statement: We do not yet know for sure that HK55 will be a companion rather than an NPC. Speculation: It is possible he will be different somehow, perhaps preferring to use melee weapons to kill meatbags.

You guys seem to be missing the biggest piece, no matter what happens in the KotFE story our old companions will still be usable outside of KotFE missions, for me this was a huge win and was all i needed to hear ... if they had simply scrapped the old companions I was most likely going to cancel my sub.

Yeah patches download super slow, i have a 180 mbps connection and it takes 15-20 minutes to patch, all other games usually patch in a minute or less

That's because ground combat in that game is terrible.

They have a release schedule, every piece of info has a planned reveal date. We may not like the speed of these reveals (I sure as hell don't), especially considering the gravity of the coming changes (permanent loss of current romance companions as companions is big enough to push me away forever, i do not care if they become NPCs, im too heavily invested in them), but it is what it is and ALL companies do this, for multiple reasons. First, things are subject to change, and they don't want to advertise something only for it not to make the cut. Second, there's the possibility that an unpopular decision could push away a large number of subs. Delaying info allows them to gauge the likely hood of that happening and possibly take action to minimize losses. And finally, it helps build hype, which boosts sales.
