I vote no. No ac respec.

As someone who was a major craftsman for years in swg, I have to say, I miss it somewhat. But, they could have easily improved many factors about it - mainly in the number of resources and resource gathering. I'm sorry to tell them this, but aluminum is aluminum, you don't mine steel, you make it, and there are not different types of copper - copper is copper. You don't mine alloys, you make them. However, that was my biggest issue. My only other issue was that I couldn't do combat and crafting at the same time. In terms of the actual complexity (minus the need for crafting suits - those pissed me off) it was great. However, I have personally found a system, that, while more simplistic, is becoming my favorite. that is the crafting in Skyrim. Resource gathering is fantastic, and it's not overly complex, but it's not as simple as swtor. Frankly, crafting in swtor is too simple in many aspects, although I still enjoy it greatly. What swtor really misses though is a real upgrading system. Mod stuff exists, sure, but I can't take a modifiable item and make it "legendary". I can't change it's appearance. I can't change it's color, or change anything on it. I can't go boost the stats just through my crafting skill like you can with a workbench in Skyrim. What I would like, is a resource system similar to Skyrim, a system to make my companions get the stuff, a way to make things myself if I so choose, and a custom design system for objects. Give me a basic template (a simple blank robe for example) and let me customize every part of it. Let me add different patterns, change the color, put the hood up/down, remove the hood, change sleeve length and style, change the fit of the robe, etc. Like a character creator (much more in depth than swtor's creator) for equipment. I also would like to be able to customize the stats more precisely on enhancements/mods that I make. Let me allocate points and decide exactly what stats go into it. Then let me save a template of whatever I made, so I can repeat it later. The system in swtor is partway there - if they just give an option to allow stuff to be more customizable (and allow you to craft stuff yourself, if you choose to; You could still have your companions do it) and change the resource system just slightly so the resources actually match up with what you're making, then they'd have the best system going. Obviously that would be a lot of work to create, but once they got it going, no other crafting system would match them. (another idea would be to allow any something to be crafted with any materials [fitting in a relative category], but have the higher level materials change the actual stats of the item, rather than having a billion different schematics for enhancements and stuff. That wouldn't change the tiered system for resource gathering at all, so it wouldn't increase the complexity. You could still keep the reverse engineering system though - that wouldn't need any real change. Any purple schematics would improve the stats of whatever you're making in the exact same manner they do now - each new "template" that you create would have to be reverse engineered to get the better schematic. You would also need to be able to delete a template if you wanted under this system.)

Well you're loads of optimism lol. Thanks for replying

I just watched the trailer that mentions some of the upcoming legacy updates in the future, and the one thing that struck me was that the sith warrior was a miraluka, which if I'm not mistaken, is not on the list of species that you can start with as a warrior. Now, I was just about to create one new character, my second jedi knight (in love with the class), and I'm worried that if I create the character now I will not get the full number of customization options that I would like. Having reserved most of my names right off, this is an issue for me. All but my bounty hunter are at least lvl 10, one is in the 40's, and three are around lvl 13-18. What I really would like a sith pureblood jedi knight, but this is going to be my last character slot when I create this second knight. I can't find any info on this, and I'm assuming no one has any major info, but I'm wondering if anything has been mentioned regarding a couple things. a) Is it possible that you will you be able to unlock another character slot through legacy? b) Will you be able to redo an existing characters species and/or appearance upon the new updates? c) Has bioware mentioned anything regarding the potential problems this could create for some players? Anything at all. So far I've seen a lack of communication about this system entirely. That could mean a ton of different things, but it does have me slightly worried. I'm hoping I just missed something that other people have seen/heard. If anyone has seen/heard anything regarding any of these things, please respond to this post. If a dev see's this and replies, that would make me extremely happy. I'm betting a bunch of people are in the same situation I am about this. For now I'm going to go ahead and make this new character - and hope that bioware addresses this when they implement the update, they have impressed me so far in terms of responsiveness to problems - but I'm not gonna be to thrilled if I have to redo a character to get what I want (I will if I have to, but I'd be very upset).

Guild Names: Best: Alderaan Timeshares Worst: Sith My Pants Mine: Sinister Syndicate Player Names: Best: Dovahkiin Worst (or best depending on your point of view): Bater. He was a jedi - I don't think I need to explain any farther. My best: Tie between Centurion and Watchman. I was pissed I couldn't get Legion or Arbiter though. (I also wanted Phalanx and Jackal, but nooooo lol)

First off; I don't really like the idea of 16man raids, but I'll do them if I have to. Secondly, purple is my favorite color. Thirdly, I want a purple crystal. Forth, I want to be able to craft my crystal. Fifth, I can't do that. Why not? Maybe make schematics for purple crystals drop, but don't make the crystals themselves that hard to get. Rare colors like cyan, magenta, white, and whatever can be special; but red, green, blue, yellow, orange, and purple should not be. Make orange and purple slightly harder to get; that's cool with me. Make them actual schematics that you have to buy from commendation vendors on worlds or something. But don't make purple a drop. I know you can get orange schematics, but I do not want to have to kill some raid boss to get a fairly standard crystal. I am a little-bit-incredibly-so angry over the way crystals have been treated in general. The restriction on red for ls and blue and green for ds is completely ridiculous. Anakin used a blue saber when he fought Obi-wan - why can't I use one when I'm evil? I've been thrilled with the modification system thus-far - but the color crystals just make me angry. Now, the rarity is not something I'd quit over - I can't say that I would ever quit this game with just the way it is now - but no one I know is happy about the color crystal BS. I would totally use a red saber lightside for one of my guys. Right now however, it's looking like green. Come on. Of all the little issues I have with games - customization always takes priority.

You have my vote. I'd use red given a chance, but I'm always lightside.

Except all colors reach the same stats eventually.

The pvp is remarkably balanced. Any class can give you a run for your money and a good fight. That's something that's new to me. I'm used to some classes being way overpowered vs others.

I have to say, when I first heard about sith and republic players not being able to talk to each other I was quite angry, as I thought it was ridiculous. That being, said, it's cut 100% of the crap I'm used to in pvp so I'm not very upset with it. However, I don't like not being able to talk to my guild when on my sith characters. It's actually prevented me from playing them at all really. I've been in the same guild for years now (we all came over from swg) and I'd rather not join another, nor do I want to have to start another one of the opposite faction. One guild name to use is enough for me. So, my proposal for an update would be to allow sith to join republic guilds and and republic to join sith guilds, so long as the player had a member of the proper faction in that guild first (basically, if I want to join a republic guild as sith, I would have to have a republic character from my account in that guild already). That would allow players to get all of their characters into the same guild without letting anyone simply take their sith and go join any republic guild. All I want out of it is to open up guild chat channels and mail with my guild members from any character on my account that is on the proper server. I'd also be for the option to turn off open world pvp against other guild members if that went through on a pvp server; but that would just be a bonus for me. I know that all of the other members of my guild would be thrilled with an update like this as well, and I imagine many others would be thrilled too.

For years I have been known as Kane on the last mmo I played. I'm expecting to lose that name. Am I kinda sad about it? Yeah. Can I get over it? Yeah. I've already got like 50+ names ready. I've been ready for this. Why Ain't you?

hahahahahaha

They've said this was what they were doing from the beginning. Why are you surprised? If you ain't happy with this game so far then go play wow.

Shoulda pre-ordered first day then.

Just make a new name. I've got like 50 names I'd be happy with. And you can have 8toons per server; go read the new online basic info manual.

In the dev tracker it said that people who pre-ordered later than July will start to be invited tomorrow, does that mean that all people who ordered in July were invited today? I'm asking because I ordered in July (28th) and redeemed my code the same day yet got no invite. My concern comes from a pre-order bug that one of my friends had, where his pre-order did not register even though he went through the process. I'm just paranoid about getting skipped, which I assume is likely to happen a few times with the number of people that want to play this game. Does anyone know the answer to my question?
