1. Fleshed out crafting *not* tied to raiding. 2. Dual Spec. 3. Implementation of more sandbox features, including meaningful persistent world pvp.

1. Dual Spec 2. A crafting system that isn't married to raiding 3. Hood toggle 4. Dual Spec (worth repeating) 5. A crafting system that isn't married to raiding (Ok, so my desires are few, but strong)

Yeah, thats like saying if a black soldier in the US military is a member of a black ops mission, its racist. There's not really an issue here, I think.

I can definitely get behind point 1. Especially with the stealthing, force leaping, pulls, going on all over the place, it's difficult, especially when on a melee character.

If it were a FPS issue, they'd eliminate speeders from the fleet hub, as its the one place my fps always tanks.

Voted.

Definitely not a fan of the new implementation. I, as well, would like a toggle for the old system.

I rolled Republic, personally, because I like being the 'good guy' in games that I play. I feel wrong being the bad guy. Why all my toons are going light side, with very few DS options, and why I don't want to roll Empire, personally.

I would think they're only removing companions from the western portion of Ilum, the partion where PvP is enforced. The Eastern portion has the dailies, and you don't have to flag yourself for PvP at all while there. Further, the dailies would be unbalanced without a companion. I'd be very surprised if they removed companions from *all* of Ilum. Methinks its just the Western portion.

One of my favorite ideas that I've seen.

He's one of the two fights in the solo questline I couldn't solo. I'd recommend bringing a friend. I went broke, upgrading gear, buying stims, buying medpacs, repairing, etc, and was overlevelled. I think he just needs to be toned down a bit. So bring a friend and time your interrupts well and he'll go down pretty easily.

Honestly, I didn't mind it too much. The narrow corridors with constant trash mobs was annoying, but I could deal. Voss, however, was my least favorite. And by least favorite, I meant I hated every minute of that abysmal planet. And I know a place called the 'nightmare lands' shouldn't be a childrens park, but I truly haven't hated a zone in any game every more than that one.

Just tried the intercom trick myself, its clearly pulling the higher resolution textures for an instant. The difference in clarity and crispness on the armor is pretty astounding. Definitely not just lighting.

I pretty much let them run free 99% of the time. I find their AI to generally be above my expectations, and keep me from dying during pulls. I do wonder if all their AI's were created equally, however. Aric Jorgan makes me angry...
