OK so i know im not an avid MMO gamer and i havent played SWTOR for as long as others, so maybe some of my points are invalid or downright stoopid, but here goes my 15 min. of fame anyway
My first suggestion is concerning the companions.
I was sincerely disappointed when i found out that i was only allowed a selection of max 5 companions, and not all the companions presented on this site.
I would very much like to be able to pick 'n chose whomever i wanted on my crew from all the companions, be it republic or empire.
That could also generate some more missions/quests, where you would have to find the companion, convince him/her to join you, find out about their back story etc. etc.
Next thing id like to suggest is making it free or at least VERY cheap to customise your companions. I dont understand why it has to be so expensive to alter the appearance of my companions. I feel like im being punished for not liking the way they are designed/look.
Pets.
I would LOVE to have my very own pet Nexu by my side when im running around.
It could perhaps be as a companion or just as a sidekick without any abilities other then being de kutest lidl fuzzyboots, yes ure such a cute lidl kitty aren't you, yes you are....Ahem. Where was i?
Another issue i believe could need some attention is the customization of weapons. And im not talking stat wise, but appearance.
I would really like to have an option where i could fx. create a unique looking blaster with that grip, that magazine and that barrel.
Same goes for lightsabres - that bottom part hilt, with that top part hilt and that emitter part.
Id imagine each part being a segment on its own and the possibility to combine, mix 'n match each and every segment to my own pleasing.
Some thing goes for the ships/player homes.
As i mentioned im not that far into this game so i dont know if i will eventually get my own, furnishable house(?)
But why not implement a decoration ability, where you can choose furniture AND where to place it, art pieces/trophies, (holo)paintings AND where to place them.
And obviously give your starship a unique name and colour theme.
My last suggestion is about the speeders.
they're too expensive!
Im sure this topic has been touched upon, but it really cannot be said enough.
Would bee ozzum to have lower tier speeders, that aren't that fast or kewl looking and higher tier speeders, that are much faster and kewler looking.
And being able to upgrade and customise it to my liking fx with good steering but low power, or high speed but low turbo etc.
And again with customization. But also the appearance, with a colour palette and assorted stripes, patterns and logos.
And then have small race track mini games, where i can test myself and my speeder against other players with the same tier speeder.
That's all from me
