thats mostly where i stand with it if there is no basis for the species speaking or very few capable of speaking basic then there is almost a 0% chance we will ever get them as playable. other things that can be ruled out would be; Gree, Rakata, Ithorians, Hutts, Wookies, Rodians, Trandoshians, Toydarian, Genoshians probably could rule out the Gungans as well for that matter. Toydarians and Gungans are more for the fact they are no close enough to human form to be a species.

Well any class that gets added is going to be a combat style not a origin storyline. Its kind of partly was hinted at why they never added any new classes to the game because they would have had to add the mirrors to them to the other faction plus 2 advanced classes and 3 specs a piece for that plus all the voice acting they just were not going to do that. In the new system it makes adding new classes actually much more viable and easier because everything is broke down into Force User light/dark or Tech User. With this system all they have to do is add a combat style to those categories they would want to add to the game and you bypass 80% of the production cost. It is not wow, dcuo or other games where they can afford to add new classes and stories for them. swtor is a different beast and how they initially set it up was a nightmare for adding classes. not impossible but we probably would have not gotten nearly as many raids or as much story for the other players not playing the new classes. Beast Tamer (able to tame wild beasts which we already got a taste of on Odessen to be honest), Sith Alchemist (able to call forth various darkside creatures like hssiss/Tu'kata/Terantetek/sith spawn as well create illusions and imbue their weapons with magic powers), Night sister/Night Brother (more magic based like the night sisters are like enhancing others and as well being somewhat a necromancer so somewhat a support/dps role not necessarily a healer but more support role), Dancer (probably be something along the lines of a bard almost pure support and or healer role would be how that would play out), They hinted at they were going to eventually bring in a hybrid force and tech user as well that would be interesting in what category that could fill. Also Tech users with the ability to use non-lightsaber bladed weapons.

I would say Chagarians (they are close to togrutas but a bit of a difference and several of their species has played a role in star wars mythos in the past), Devaronians (let's face its its only a matter of time before we get this race and surprisingly it wasnt added already at this point), Kel Dor (they could make the masks look a little different and some of the features outside but being able to Plo Kun's race would be huge), Kaleesh (this other than the Kel Dor are probably the most alien humanoids i could probably see adding because being able to play the Kaleesh makes since in both language and swtor standpoint), Anzat (basically force vamps now this would be my vote a interesting species to bring into the fold because of their racial abilities for force drain like Nihilus would make for interesting characters as well as cosmetically enough of a difference), Zeltrons, Duros (cad bane's species no need to say anything more), Weequay (hondo's species and there is several in swtor already as NPCs) could probably all be in as playable species goin forward. though i wouldnt rule things out from a marketing standpoint going forward depends on what Broadsword executives press Swtor staff for we could see species that were previously shotdown. Honestly I think we are going to get species at a much faster rate going forward to be honest instead of 1 maybe a expansion or so I think we will be getting them faster because of the amount Broadsword is going to want to market swtor for. They are going to want all the money they can get from the player base and species is a good way of doing that. I actually see the price of newer species going up to 1500-2400 coins though especially if they throw a few species at us that we are not expecting in the slightest.

With the Broadsword taking over we can all pretty much assume the Cartel Market is going to be flood with stuff they can make money off of going forward. So somethings that could be good for the cartel market and such. Some will probably get added eventually others would make sense for them add from a profit standpoint. Armor: Darth Maul style robes/with or without cybernetic legs robe having hood and non-hooded variants Starkiller Jedi Robes (since you can make starkiller's outfit sith hunter already in game) Ludo Kressh's outfit and/or sword Wrodd Nul's armor (pretty sure i didn't spell his name right) Arcann's Cybernetic arm Force Hound outfit Maybe a bulkier version of the Eradicator outfit (i know there is alternatives in the game but a lot got removed in kotfe and kotet but not a lot added bulk without looking cyborg-ish) Ahsoka inpsired Clone trooper armor from final season of clone wars Weapons: Sideous's lightsaber Naga Sadow and Ludo Kressh's swords Gungi's lightsaber Darth Nihil's lightsaber (even though we did get the shorter variant in Darth Nul's lightsaber) Dooku's Saber Temple Guard saber pikes maybe even force saber Dyes: Both versions of these dyes Metallic Blue/White Metallic Black/Blue Metallic Black/Purple Crystals: Brown crystal Blue-Green Red-Green Red- Purple Purple-Gray (like the blue and red variants) Green-Gray Orange-Gray white with black core without having to have a thin effect saber to create a black core Know this is far'fetched and really out there as a possibility but what about new slot for characters that changes their cosmetic battle stances to make them them akin to other swtor wars characters it wouldnt change the way would fight naturally it would just change the actually way you held your weapons visually only. Say like Dooku's stance, Anakin's, Star killer's, Ahsoka's, Obi-wan's even mace's to give the character kinda that further customization individualized identity for their characters. I know some are tied into combat forms but the game has did forms for the different builds but there is not any visually differences between the way the PC's or NPC's actually hold their weapons. It could be very popular to have different cosmetic battle stance changes. Possible Event additions game: Gree tuning (tuning that resembles the effect of the gree lightsaber)

For 1 Story content of 6.0 and 7.0 did take about the same amount of time to do with both onderon and mek-sha planets as well as the flashpoint took about the same amount of time as 7.0 did neither was really long. And going back to look at all the expansions we have had none have been that long on launch. 4.0 and 5.0 are probably the longest at about 3-5 hrs with kotfe having only 9 chapters in 4.0 and kotet having 10 chapters. rise did not have all that much on release it was makeb upon release which was not much and that was a rather short story probably even shorter than 7.0. CZ-198 and Oricon did not come out until later in the expansion. As for Shadow of Revan if i am not mistaken it was released in 3 waves first being Rishi, 2nd was Yavin and 3rd was kinda the prelude to Kotfe in Ziost I remember Ziost being done seperately. So effectively what you are saying is you want all expansions to be wow like massive rather than bioware's way of doing things thats more DLC like. But its not the only game that has gone that route either. I do agree it does need more content, what we have gotten would have been better suited for 6. whatever rather than 7.0 but this expansion was never really about the story as much as it was about the changes to the game in combat styles (so they could make it easier to add new classes down the road). It was a almost prelude content patch to 8.0 is how they marketed back in june-august. I do want more but i am not expecting much. They had 5 yrs to develop 7.0 and they dropped the ball on it lol. They were working on LotS back 5 yrs ago my guess is it was all the features that took them so long to do because storywise it was not there lol.

Honestly i would rather see actually either new phases of old planets like a return to the core worlds with current and future high levels in mind. Even so much as rebuilding efforts in some of the locations and post origin stories/SoR/Kotfe-Kotet wars effect on planets. New NPCs, new stories maybe even new places that were not able to get to in the original game. Even more NPCs reacting to the good and bad you have done across the galaxy having a more impact on your character going forward. That is even tying into the Sabotuer stuff. Sure its more content than what we have gotten since classic.

Honestly i am not so sure they would have to mirror classes now with combat styles. since they may make neutral alignment combat styles where they only have to make 1 if they pick force users the tech users are really no big deal with 1 there but force users would have to be 2 if they do it alignment based. otherwise they could make the unlocks for them basically once you complete full origin story maybe + whatever i doubt they would add anything beyond origin stories as a requirement but they could. They have already talked about 8.0 is the soonest they are thinking about doing more combat styles it is something they are flirting with. They have wanted to do more classes for awhile but with the limitations of the origin stories they would have to hire voice actors across the board, storyline writers and a lot more for that. Then you look at what else the old system required to do those you had to have mirror classes of the origin story than mirror advanced classes then mirror specs within so effectively you were looking at just for adding 1 class back then you would come out with 2 origin stories 4 advanced classes 12 specs thats a lot of time they would had to put in which was not going to happen. But under the new system it is now designed for adding new combat styles to the game with a lot more ease. To the original poster we are not going to ever see more new origin stories added to the game. I would be entirely shocked if that ever happens they would rather invest their money into the storylines that exist going forward with maybe come call backs here and there to the origin stories. The reasons being as what i stated above all the work they would have had to minus the combat styles now. They have what going forward 6 stories they are doing at the moment though 4 of them are very similar with it being Republic loyalist, Republic Sabotuer, Empire Loyalist, Empire Saboteur, the mandalorian civil war thats starting and the Malgus. really where would they effectively have time to do more origin stories at?

I would like to actually be able to change ships or allow you pick what you want going forward from LotS onwards or something like that. Be cool to have different ships and stuff then customize the ship from there. And I think it should be more than just the class ships you would have the option between. There is several different ships models in game that would be good for various characters.

I agree with you. Though on the last 1 i am not sure if thats ever going to change but the rest are very feasible.

I think she has about 3 different paths going forward for her character. So far her character like you said is emotional has been emotional since a kid and her master was a former "Child of the Emperor" so i think its going to play a huge role in how her character develops. She already has a bond to an extent with Malgus and has been shown to actually tap into to the darkside from the cinematic of LotS. I do think that is a possible path where they are setting her up to end up being Malgus's new apprentice and first of his new followers. Whether it is total control over her which I don't think is his aim for her I think he wants her emotional like Arcann and Vadar. I could could her being the first stages in him rebuilding the sith but I really dont know if they would go down that path. Path she takes is if you are Jedi Knight/Consular she actually becomes your new Padawan to train. Do not forget many Jedi do take several Padawans throughout their careers even when on the council it is less likely on the council but does happen. So I could see her kinda replacing Kira since Kira is probably going to be on the new council and the consular padawan i think is a knight at this point. So I could see her becoming your next 1. Path 3 is she obviously dies in the events being setup which would be kind of a waste for character that was just introduced. But very likely as she is messing with forces of dark/light and mandalorian that she just does not understand. Path 4 is she becomes your darkside apprentice instead of Malgus's kinda plays like both Malgus path for her and the jedi but you on this 1 are encouraging her to fall. I am not sure how much stronger she is going to be than Arn at this point. Right now its hinted at she is quite strong as just does not realize how much untapped strength she actually has because Malgus has taken a great interest in her. She did show quite a bit of rage towards her master and Malgus but no skill or understanding of how to channel it in for light or dark. Arn is still close to turning darkside whenever he appears if you are a Republic Sabotuer/Traitor. Shown he can be quite effective as a sith but in terms of power she has more of a latent untapped potential that could very well surpass him. In terms of what they are going to be doing with the character I guess we will have to wait and see there is still a lot things they are pulling together for the storyline whatever Malgus and whatever he is sided with or afraid of is coming. The Mandalorian Civil War which is inevitably coming I do not know how long they are going to make that. But I would say Shae does have the potential to be killed off in this story arc pulling the Mandalorian support away from the empire and you. As the renegade Mandalorians are fed up with taking orders from the empire they don't mind to be hired by somebody for a job but they do not like to serve other orders. They are not sith empire they are their own faction that has pushed both over the ages. So I see that being huge storyline with a lot of deaths. The other story is what happens with her and her brother is going to be tying into just about everything. Then there is the fact at the end of Onslaught if you read the messages as Republic Sabotuer pretty sure empire sabotuer too that the Republic or Empire is onto somebody in your faction is a Traitor and they are starting to suspect you could be 1. So there is only so much more they can do from the standpoint of a Traitor without you fully going over storywise to the other faction (not actual full on faction change but storywise change).

A GTN upgrade probably will not happen like most would want it to happen. I have seen many people say limit the credit prices to a lot lower than what is already allowed. While that is fine the issue actually becomes is that fewer things will actually be sold on the GTN instead people will just be using Trade Chat more and more to sell things because of price escalation. All it would end up doing is hurting the GTN more than actually improving it. Now if they added search players, ability to have a bidding system actually on items as well that could help but again that is upto the seller for posting stuff to be bid on and not outright bought. Honestly i could very well see a lowering of taxation and more credits being allowed for max on the gtn. crafting upgrades was suppose to be in may-august time frame they are coming just not for awhile and it wont be 7.1 we are looking at 7.2 or 7.3 for those. 7.1 is suppose to have R-4 anomaly and weapons in outfitter. R-4 will certainly be in 7.1 as they were mostly just trying to the final touches of fights and that was suppose to be on the pts probably i think next week is their plans on that. it was going to go up on PTS pretty much right after 7.0 hit so we could somewhat expect that to be on there for sure. Now for weapons in outfitter its suppose to be in 7.1 and on the next round of PTS testing with R-4 but I think what is ultimately going to happen is we are not going to get weapons in outfitter instead they are going to end up pushing that back again if not outright cancelling and opening up modded weapons/gear making a true comeback and not just 330 gear+. While that would suck the track record of them weapons in outfitter it was originally suppose to come out in shadow of revan with the outfitter originally it got scrapped because the system supposedly couldn't handle it. They tried again for Kotfe/Kotet both and could not get it implemented correctly so they thought Onslaught was going to be when they were going to get it done. The virus hit and pushed everything back so weapons in outfitter again got pushed into LotS. So my thinking is actually that we have a better chance of getting mods being brought back in than i think we have a chance of weapons actually hitting outfitter. That will make a lot of people mad but hey its the compromise if they cant release it how it should be or at least a halfway decent version than allowing item mods to be a factor again needs to be a thing. Originally 7.1 was going to be the PVP revamp but i think that got pushed back into 7.2 and 7.3 so idk about that being in 7.1. As for the time table we can expect i would expect around march 29th to around may 11th. Yes I do see the patch being that far out unlike the few that thought oh hey its going to be out in 2-3 weeks after 7.0.

people complaining about how short the story of LotS was never really played Rise of the Hutt Cartel it started out with just freaking Makeb but then again it had several raids in it and then expanded with Oricon and CZ-198 they did not come out all at once. People freaking hate Makeb and still do know very few players that even play through Makeb itself these days. Could LotS been a lot longer sure, but then again think how long Kotfe was when it first came out people had beaten its 1st 9 chapters in less than 3 hrs but they were rolling new chapters out every month with Kotfe. This is nothing new for EA/Bioware just imagine had that rolled this out and people actually paid for the expansions like they did with RotHC and Shadow of Revan people complained back then about subbing for those and it would be even worse today because people constantly complain about every little thing. Not defending LotS by any means there are issues but goto a MMO that has ever had a smooth expansion and that would be MMO that is probably actually dead now. WoW never had. I mean FF has probably been 1 of the most seemless at times but for the most they are all bundled and botched messes. Gearing system I am not for or against. I like it being complex and actually giving people something to work towards and incentivize doing stuff in. Honestly I would say its not complex enough for MMO standards, it should be a x1000 harder to get gear than what it is in LotS thats the nature of playing MMOs. I do not like easy gearing and all players should have the same gear that is just not what MMOs are about. You want that go play a offline RPG or mod the crap of skyrim before its not even really skyrim in the slightest. Pruning of abilities I question the pruning of what abilities they actually pruned or made you choose between but not the idea that pruning of abilities was not actually needed. I mean WoW literally pruned abilities after every new expansion got rid of a few and masked them with a couple of new abilities where people were not really even to upset until they really pruned the crap out of it and upset the player base. Honestly the way that it should have kinda went down was more of a choice what you got to keep and what you switched out for other stuff. There are some useless abilities in a lot of the combat styles that needed to be purged but were left because they wanted to alter defensives so people actually would have to work through content rather than cheese everything in the game. Honestly at the end of the day its not going to actually make me leave the game as I have played the competition and was never truly impressed by those games in the slightest. Do I want Bioware to do better absolutely they have a lot of room to improve on but they are cap strickened by EA to the point its more EA's fault or actually Disney's for not actually seizing more control over Swtor to invest big money into making it better. Though I like the fact they have not actually influenced Bioware in a lot of their aspects of the game which I knew was going to ruin the sequel trilogy from when they let out what they were going to do with the sequels and nobody freaking listened to them upon purchasing of Star Wars.

Listen and Observe does not mean Listen and take things under advisement and actually do what the players want. Listen and Observe just means they are listening to players but may or may not do what the players want or they may do what they themselves want to do regardless of what the player base does. In those terms they have not actually lied about it other than maybe release dates. People just assume things means something when it does not puzzles me.

Honestly I really would not be shocked if we do not get Weapons in outfitter at all. It was suppose to be in when outfitter was released then it got pushed back what was suppose to be a few months because they were having issues with it back in the day. The issue with it atm is really just lack of mods to make not doing it viable. Which I think will ultimately come to pass as I 100% do not see them ever releasing it as it was promised in Shadow of Revan, Kotfe/Kotet, Onslaught and for 7.0. Nothing to say the idea just wont entirely be scrapped altogether on us which if they have too much more trouble with it, it will very will likely be scrapped. The other issue they are having with it is the combat styles themselves if not for having the 2nd combat style it would probably work a lot smoother but if you remember weapons in outfitter was not announced until the livestream in november (or got dropped in october in forums i cant remember which) if i am remembering correctly it was not something that was promised actually in june. It was an additional feature they tried to push out in addition to everything with 7.0. I get that many people want it delayed til it gets released and i am not happy about it not being in the expansion either because of the lack of mods for weapons at least to make up for that. But if they delayed it until weapons in outfitter was ready we would be looking at another 10 yrs before it would be ready for release at the minimum. I gurantee weapons in outfitter will be delayed again from march/april timeframe to probably next october - following march timeframe if it is just not scrapped. At this point just freaking bring back mods and be done with it because it clearly has not worked in all the attempts they tried to get it released at and kept getting pushed back because of the issues they were having with.

First let's not act like this is anything new expansions for Swtor have always been like this even back when they were paid for seperately from the actual game we were still actually getting content like this and people were complaining they actually paid for that and paid sub when it was not worth that. People can say oh well if you pay for expansion it would be so much better than what we have been getting. Not exactly true on that it should be in theory but EA/Bioware's practices for expansions on Swtor have always been the same. condensing the game down gradually, little story content, a raid may pop up at launch or it maybe released later (on yeah wow did that for yrs releasing raids after expansion launches), changing classes constantly not the first we have had a pruning of abilities in this game wont be the last either. It happens with other games well but let's face it Swtor is not a true MMO it never has really been its has been RPG with MMO features at most. Honestly I was not as impressed with 6.0 as a lot of people Dxun was fun, was cool to see onderon but it completely unincentivized doing anything beyond getting to 306 and set geared out once you hit that there was literally no incentives to do anything in Swtor other than to play alts. Raids were completely unincentivized, maybe just getting achievements but there was not much incentives for doing those unlike past expansions. Gearing actually was suppose to increase beyond 306 in waves originally with Onslaught but the virus prevented them from fully working in office to do much with Onslaught. It may have given the players that did nothing but just play story and do a bunch of alts got them geared up with everybody else but that actually is kind of a fail when it comes to players actually wanting to do content and rewarded for doing harder content. The play as you like was pretty lazy overall when it came to the gear system there were people fully geared in Onslaught in the first 2-3 days of the expansion. I know a lot of players that said the same thing. People's expectations of something go so sky high on everything these days not saying Bioware is not at fault in manner they do have some blame, EA has a lot of blame for not actually fully funding things the way they should. But the higher the expectations the great the failure of anything is in the world goes true for video games as well. People were expecting several things and continously look like fools when they get their hopes up. Bioware has a set way of doing things people should have learned that from classic-shadow of revan yet people still seem so surprised by how they handle things. Do I wish they would do things differently? absolutely. Do I wish they would invest more money into this game and actually fix the things that have plagued this game and actually end up giving us proper expansions we should been getting all along? yes. Do i think they are ever going to change their methods? not a chance.

That is easy to explain with the same PTS up for 3 months. Holiday vacation was from basically week that expansion was suppose to launch until last week. And what many people forget is Disney still has its decree that no new star wars content (movies, games, expansions, shows) will be released in the same timeframe as another star wars content. Book of Boba Fett was going on from Dec 30 to the week before the expansion is atm still slated for Feb 15th. It is very much a thing they did with other star wars games, swtor, the films and even the disney+ serieses. Very much a real aspect to it. Disney I would assumed actually laid into Bioware and EA in december forcing them to delay release. Bioware decided it would take a christmas vacation that was a month long to spend with their families and fix the minor bugs rather than the major bugs. Which translate in 3-3 1/2 weeks of work before expansion rather than the full 2 months of work that could have actually been done. To think we were going to get a better finished product than what we would have gotten in december had the released it was fool's gold at best. Minus weapons in outfitter and the already pushed back R-4 anomaly that was delayed twice already because it was not ready for december to go with 7.0 and then it was delayed again because 7.0 got delayed which was obvious but still we are virtually getting the same unfinished product we were going to get in December. People will just have to come to terms with that in whatever way they see fit. Played many mmos over the yrs and been with Swtor since before launch this is really nothing new for us. And if you think paid Subscriptions would have helped guess again because we had the same thing with RotHC and Shadow of Revan both were paid expansions and people were actually complaining back in the day that you actually had to pay for them. They wanted WoW like expansions and paid for minor DLC at best. This is who Bioware is, sucks but it is what it is at this point. Unless they get bought by another company or another company takes over thats the only way things are going to significantly change the way people want them to change. Right now the only companies that would possibly buy EA/Bioware would be Sony, Disney and Microsoft and you really think those companies would vastly improve things?

Honestly considering most expansions are a yr to 3 yrs only kotfe-kotet i think may have been within a yr I cannot fully remember how long it took for that. But most of the stuff probably will be scattered throughout 22 and 23. Thats is not even including some of the patches they planned for later may actually now be pushed back because they had more flashpoints planned, the PVP overhaul patch, the UI/graphics patch may now not see the life of day until november or december if not march 23. But this is not really unexpected its unfortunate because of how highly requested weapons in outfitter was since the outfitter was first implemented they have had issues with it since trying to implement in Shadow of Revan, Kotfe/Kotet (cant remember which they tried it in but it was suppose been released again in there) and it was listed in Onslaught was suppose to have happened but the virus pushed and delayed everything so work then was not happening on it. Another delay now are we even sure that is ever going to happen at this point. I am not certain of it at this point I think the chances are it ends up in the scrap pile never to be attempted again. They could surprise me with that but I am not holding my breath that it will be implemented anymore. As for other features what other features are they going to delay and how many delays will R-4 anomaly take its already had 2 delays because it was not ready for december and it got pushed back again because 7.0 was not ready so it could be maybe june instead of april timeframe that we are looking at for it atm.

R-4 Anomaly has already been pushed back for 7.1. Basically wondering how the new version of manaan is going because that is actually a daily world like Onderon, Ossus, Oricon and so on after you complete the storyline. But no idea how buggy that is they are even more in the dark about how that has improved during the timeframe of annoucement of 7.0 til now. I know we never get to see the story we actually did get to see Onderon in 6.0 PTS for a long while and some of the dailies even without the storyline actually being there. We did not get to see the new part of Manaan at all in any of the 7.0 PTS phases. Honestly weapons in outfitter I am almost certain of will be either scrapped altogether or delayed til 8.0. There has been already 3 times they have attempted it before 7.0. They tried when they first did outfitter and couldn't get it work. They tried again in either Kotfe/Kotet and couldnt get it working right. Was planning on it for Onslaught and the virus pushed everything back on every1. Now its getting pushed back in LotS so really where is the optimism that it actually ever is fixed to begin. Sure it would probably be easier to give weapons their own outfitter feature but that probably has its own flaws to actually deal with. But if it would actually get around the whole combat style weapon swaps a lot easier.

Honestly they would have to redo the gearing for weapons because people are going to complain they have to use ugly weapons for 2+ months basically while we wait for 7.1. Meaning 7.0 weapon mods out so we can at least deal with that til 7.1 comes out. There is already a lot of people that probably will not play until 7.1 comes out maybe later since weapons in outfitter was huge. I would almost assume at this point weapons in outfitter may actually end up being scrapped altogether and not happen at all. That will anger some people but I do think that has a strong possibility of actually happening as they have tried weapons in outfitter before when they launched outfitter, they tried again in kotet and failed and then tried for onslaught and the virus actually haulted everything after Onslaught release. I would not say delay everything not story but there are those things they seem to keep having issues with. As for class balancing when have they ever actually got class balancing correct in any form they either nerf and bust classes or overpower something into the point its almost unstoppable. There is no middle ground when it comes to bioware rebalancing classes well technically its that way with most MMOs from all companies they all have class balancing issues and to say they dont is the most absurd thing ever. They are having issues with loadouts not actually working correctly yet that could be delayed til 7.1 well it was a mess in the PTS may or may not be in their version as they tend basically do PTS's of like base or shell features so we really do not know what state that is currently in. But Loadouts will probably make it in at this point just because they do not want UI issues of something not implemented yet and worry about bug fixes and what not later. Combat styles and Pruning i do think will make 7.0 as that was the big marketing point of LotS regardless if it is buggy or bad for classes I am certain it will be in 7.0. The raid is already pushed back for 7.1 so there is that.

Well the whole paid dlc is interesting argument from ESO standards because you sub over there you get most of the DLC except what the most current until you unsub. Whereas when Swtor actually had paid expansions of RotHC and Shadow of Revan there was an outcry that we actually had to pay for basically the same kinda of expansion we are getting right now. People were like this is more of a update rather than a expansion that has always been how EA/Bioware treated their expansions rather than something like WoW treated expansions that where massive at launch but were not complete at all they still patched in more content and more raids later on in expansion's life. WoW back in the day not sure if they still do but from classic-cata was jumbled mess and most of the servers broke and glitches would kill you would have obscene repair bills because of the deaths that were happening from it. For the people that think that things will change if swtor actually had a paid expansion method you are fooling yourselves it would be the same thing we are getting now and have always gotten just the only exception is you would then be paying for it to be like this. I understand what people expect from paying for an expansion seperate from subbing but that has never really affected how EA/Bioware treats expansions. They do their own things and thats about it.

when you get to a certain point you are forced to remove the collar or not progress with her conversations anymore until you do.

the issue with that whole statement is before inflation hit as bad as it has been the last few yrs, people that did not have money still could not afford anything because they did not have money when prices were lower. prices can be whatever and people still be left out because they could not afford stuff. not saying its good having the market inflated i am saying your argument right there is a little off base and people where always charging insane amounts for the credit value at the time. guess what even if you reset the currency in game all its going to do is still keep money between the people that already have it because it will be converted to a new currency the rich will have money while the poor do not. there is little actual fix for that in this game bioware let in and couldn't track down on the money through the glitches but other intentional methods also added tons of creds into the game. I would increase actually increase precentages of gtn sales tax based on the actual price of sales where the game takes even more money out if than just the standard precentage for every1. have it completely broke into tiers. But still then you would run into more people just selling things on trade chat than you would on the gtn.

Honestly the Selkath HK customization, the bounty event HK customization (i think its the bounty assassination droid customization), i think CZ-198's customization and maybe even the oricon dread customization for HK would fit Z0-OM really well especially with the personality she has. Honestly i would love to see customizations for just about all companions or even like kotfe/kotet companions being able to actually use their kotfe/kotet looks with actually giving them gear custom looks. The whole reverting back to previous looks is kinda breaking for me to say the least. Busted Lana's looks that way though adding new customizations for some of those companions would help too as long as they do not force us to use the default armor with those customizations.

I would say its probably a little bit bigger than rise of the hutt cartel because RotHC did not start out with oricon or even cz-198 it did have TFB, TC, and i think SnV intially then got CZ-198 and the back end got DF and DP. Shadow of Revan if i am not mistaken did not actually get Yavin til mid Shadow of Revan or Ziost was kinda how they did the prelude to Kotfe. But in terms of expansion wise storyline i would say it is smaller than Kotfe, Kotet and Onslaught at release but with the features and changes it actually increases the size of the expansion in those terms. Swtor has never really had a massive amount of content poured all out at once in a expansion the closest we probably got was the 1st 9 chapters of kotfe and onslaught before we got Echoes of Oblivions which was delayed due to the virus almost 7-8 months from the time it was going to be released which would have given us more content between onslaught launch and 7.0. Not saying its ideal and these cs additions they have been adding recently as way to add to the story are not a good way of doing storytelling but they do come out with time like we are probably going to get but they did say they are adding more to LotS throughout the life of it we just dont know how much more if we get the extent of patches like rothc and shadow of revan that would be good but it could be more like kotet with iokath and ossus i dont see use getting 2 planets added but i do see more flashpoints, maybe a 2nd raid after R-4 anomaly honestly another story about the size of Echoes or Ossus would be better just without all the bugs that came with Echoes. If you are looking for expansions the size of FFXIV and WoW do thats never going to happen. We do get bigger expansions than DCUO but they actually spread out theirs where they may have it hidden up 3 a yr actually which tend to be a lot smaller than swtor's even is. Though DCUO's is not listed as expansions they are technically though by definition especially since they are consider DLC. Not saying I like swtor's expansion I am saying what we have been getting from bioware is actually pretty on par with what we have got since 1.0.

I would like the armor and the companion for that but you could also make the case for a Zakuulan heavy skytrooper as well.
