shameless self promotion here...but i made this today because its evident that theres a lot of things the community wish to see and threads often get removed or spammed here so i propose that we try this method. post ideas on the page i made in hopes that developers take them seriously http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ideas-to-improve-SWTOR-no-affiliation-with-Lucas-Arts/398093350266611

Hello Star Wars Fans. If you are like me you want to see many improvements on this game, many youve had for a while now with no way to physically express them. Today I created a facebook page that allows users to post content that they believe will improve the game (whether it be comments, pictures, drawings, video explanations, etc ) in hopes that the developers will take our ideas into consideration. Please take a look @ http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ideas-to-improve-SWTOR-no-affiliation-with-Lucas-Arts/398093350266611

I thought about doing this a long time ago and forced myself to do so today. I created a Facebook page for community ideas on how to improve the game. Please take a look and see if we can get this to go somewhere. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ideas-to-improve-SWTOR-no-affiliation-with-Lucas-Arts/398093350266611

Well, since the Friday the 13th inception patch killed the game, im going to do what every other person here is doing and QQ on the forums. These ideas come from what people expected from 1.2. armor and crafting- The RE rate still needs to be bumped up a little. You can burn through all of your mats trying to get a single blue or purple item. We need an armor customization ability, whether it be always available, or done through a barber-type vendor. While there we can actually change the colors on our armor instead of matching the set to your top; i like my columni top, but hate the color and cannot stand the new pvp/pve gear. plus i hate that as a sorcerer, most of the chest-pieces have huge,gaudy, shoulder pads, even though its supposed to be light armor. make us able to r.e. almost ANY green or higher rated armor or weapon piece (with the exception of drops from hm ops and things of that nature) to get a green, then blue, then orange, then purple schematic. People want customization in their games; we dont all want to look like clones of our class. exploration-add some open world content. Most of the planets are a straight shot with no reason for exploring past the road or pathway besides the occasional killing of nearby creatures. im also getting tired of just seeing fleets and military bases. I cant believe that theres not many cities or villages to explore. there honestly needs to be a neutral area as well. possibly implement some areas where both factions can meet in non-combat areas. crafting pt 2- allow the use and trade of grenades. it doesnt make sense that you have to know how to build a grenade to know how to throw it. i dont have the skill so im not sure how it works, but its as simple as making them a stack-able item. (like in kotot, you know, the game thats supposed to be this game's inspiration) i thought itd be interesting to have jedi/sith force users' out of combat heal to change depending on your alignment. eg a person with light alignment will use the bright yellow/white meditate, a neutral player will stand in meditation, and someone with dark alignment will use the red and black seethe spell. and ffs give us a hood up/hood down option.

im sure more people have seen the new armor designs now that we're updated. any new thoughts?

the reason i ask about being able to craft pvp/pve armor is because itll be able to crit craft as an orange. this was hinted at in an update the devs put out. so is there hypothetically a way to RE columni and get orange schematics? also does having armor mods in an orange piece change its RE effectiveness?

posting a comment because this was buried in posts asking about guild banks...lol

I've been talking with a few friends about the update and we are having trouble figuring a few aspects of the update out. A big issue is that we cant figure out RE'ing of orange armor. I've seen some posts that hint that having mods in the armor makes it so that you get no schematic. If anyone knows how this works please help me out here. This also goes with armor crafting. I heard that endgame PvE armor (columni, tionese, xenotech) can be RE'd for a schematic. True?(if so how) False? Augments. They seem to be missing. I dont see augment schematics at the trainer. Is this different from the other crafting? Im not sure how to get the schematics. If anyone else has questions about 1.2 plz put them here. If anyone knows the answers plz let us know.

Thanks for the support guys ...aka bump..

thank you anyone else have supporting ideas?

I dont think we are supposed to bump threads

Thanks for all of the positive feedback everybody. I hope someone on the DEV team has seen this by now

check out this idea http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=3618684#post3618684

This seems like the only place they would allow this thread unfortunately. Share some thoughts though. Keep this bumped

That part is in there xD
