Techniqually 1 out of 2 but I'm not that mad about it as it happens that my main dark female mage's name ended up being close to the comp Zenith's name, but all I had to do was add an "a" to the end of it.

I really have to disagre with op, when every planet past balmorra normally has less than 10 people and fleet rarely has enough to support more than 1 50 wz at a time it is bad. Lack of Population Causes 1. GTN; Either A. there is no stock or B. there is so little stock a person will ask for 10k+ for 10 lvl 1 crafting goods. 2. WZs; Pops either don't happen or its the same 12-16 people most of the time and if the other side has a highly geared premade your stuck in a night of loss. 3. PVE; You end up generally in a situation where you either can't do heroics or fp at intended lvl or have to wait for hours for enough people. Along with that it becomes a chore getting enough people to do ops.

If I understand what your going for its likely stuff like datacrons have a chance to become a legacy feature as they develope legacy features more.

Personally I'm opposed to this. If they add new classes it should either be a legit full on 3rd faction or a new archetype like summoner/beastmaster.

I'm fairly sure if reps boarded the fleet and there wasn't a major battle going on outside the empire would just seal off that section and vent the reps into space.

I tend to agree though if they don't want it to be as much they could always change it to you can only use a type of medpac once per battle. IE you could use your rakata and then use squad recovery

Lightside sith doesn't mean your secretly a jedi or have to care for the jedi order. Also from what I've seen of the story part of the light side inquisitor's story is about using your position to try and change the empire from within. Thus you would initially go along with the emperor's plan since it helps you get closer to him and then at the end of the story their could be a light/dark choice where after the battle with Satele you can chose to either lash out with your remaining energy to disable Satele or give her an opening to escape. If you would chose the light side though the imperial guards with you would intervene in time to stop the highly weakened Satele from escaping.

Actually unless your talking about a book I don't know about that book takes place somewhere after the end of chapter 3 and before the start of chapter 4. Also just because companions can't die it doesn't mean they can't have a plot encounter between one class' comp and another class that leaves the comp changed. Also Satele being captured to be turn into the emperor's next voice doesn't mean she would die. Actually it could be used to create a true war event that determines wether the pubs manage to rescue her or the empire holds off the rep rescue force long enough for Satele to be turned into the emperor's new voice.

Not bothering to read rest of thread as I doubt it is that interesting, but my opinion it is basically pointless as that is seriously only a few hours of play time.

Personally I'd rather they design special fps for this rather than just taking them to try and solo regular fps.

I have to agree that its mostly useless, but it is a great help in clouds of vondru. Personally though I wish they gave you the option to use these on more than special points such as the ships that spawn or as and anti capital ship aoe bomb.

...... I'm not sure if I'm missing something but more servers is the exact opposite of what this game needs.

Pretty much this. OP seems to ignore the fact that the 2 or4(if you count mirriors) are for melee tanks and for at least 1 of those is the imortal tank's top tier tree skill, which until now didn't do aoe. Also if you would read the fulll article it seems to express a want for top tier abilites to be special. This ISN'T like every one of a tank's aoes was made a smart skill.

I say this is probably the answer as they don't want to do a diservice to more established planets and want to save them for larger content additions.

Yes I believe alderaan has been changed as a week or 2 ago my body size 3 went there and got through with no problem.

I'm opposed to whole sale turning off xp but I could get removing the rest xp system or giving an option to turn it off.

Personally based on how so far rep got the better end of the opening acts and a book with reps as main characters, I say chapter 4 should be an empire strikes back expansion where angry at the damage done to the dark councial and the emperor losing a voice to the reps the councial and emperor launch back after the jedi councial and senate. Chapter IV: Retribution Sith Warrior and Sith Inq would have a somewhat intertwined plot where your helping the emperor with a plot to capture Satele so she can be hollowed and corrupted into the new emperor's voice. SW: At the begining of the chapter to help stablize the situation the councial gives you interim status as Baras' replacement on the councial (setting up an choice between whether your more loyal to the councial or emperor over the further course of the story). As you are the emperor's enforcer your role in the plot would be to gather forces from the planets released in the chapter expansion to launch a raid on Thyton to draw a large portion of the jedi and republic forces back to the planet to leave Satele exposed. In the finale as you aproach the main jedi temple you are confronted by Lord Scourge who believing you are a threat to the fate he has forseen for the JK he faces off against you. Leaving Lord Scourge defeated, missing an arm, and mortally wounded the sw then proceeds on with the invasion and ultimately faces off with a member of the Jedi Councial to acquire the codes need to send your trap messege leading the republic and jedi to believe your attack is far larger than it actually is. JK: Their chapter is about trying to determine if the emperor is truly dead, until in the end you are called back to Thyton by a jedi who escaped the attack. Over the course of the story Scourge would excuse himself from your party for a while leaving behind a crafting droid to work for you. As you reach the planet you find Scourge on the brink of death and taking him back to your ship to stabalize him and get a robotic prostetic arm he explains that he went off to confront the emperor's new wrath and failed. From there you rally the surviving forces you find on the planet and push back the imperial forces. Retaking the main temple as the republic fleet and other jedi arrive you find the main force of imperial forces has already departed. SI: Due to your quick and recent rise in the ranks of the sith the emperor's hands aproach you for a mission of upmost importance to the emperor and stability of the empire. Over the course of the planets you are collecting sith artifacts that will help you weaken Satele and then once defeated pacify her to be brought back to begin the process of turning her into the emperor's new voice. After collecting the artifacts you get a messege that the wrath has begun their assault on Thyton and you are to put the emperor's plan into motion. Essentially then you and a group of imperial guards lead an assualt on Satele and the remaining jedi and pub forces protecting her. JC: The chapter is essentially tracking done one of the emperor's hands since the jedi councial believes the sith are planning a ritual to bring back them emperor. Eventually confronting the hand you find out that he has been leading you on a wild goose chase to keep you distracted from the emperor's true plan. IA: The chapter would be about a plot to replace key senators with sith sleeper agents to weaken the republic from within. BH: Essentially your now hired to track down and kill a jedi councial member. SM: Your sent to track down and then rescue a jedi councial member that has gone missing. RT: Your essentially escorting and protecting a key senator who will have a large impact on how the republic procceeds with the war. Along with this to add player impact to the game SW and SI would each be given a councial set who their vote is considered the deciding vote and they have like 3 choices to chose from. During a certain time frame all sw and si who complete the quest that has the vote would have the vote tallied and at the end all the votes from all servers would be added together and the npcs with the most votes would become the cannon replacement in the following chapters.

Seems highly doubtful that they would dedicate an expansion to a feature they'd hope only a handful of people would use.

Seems unlikely since it would require crafting an additional 4 stories. Not to mention that the only real jumping off point would be the end of chapter 3 but by that point you've done enough that your kinda a mortal enemy of the other side. Not to mention once your that far in there isn't much reason to betray your faction when you've achieved as much as you have by then.

Its really hard to discuss this without spoiling the final 2 chapters of sw. Power wise, beyond that fact game mechanics limit sw's from using the more flashy force powers, it is that as the warrior they put their skills inward instead of outward. You also need to remember the warrior is supposed to come from a lineage of sith where they have been trained since birth to be sith, while the si until recently was a slave meaning the sw would be inherently stronger. Not to mention that since the sw is more about the direct aproach their focus tends to be on the war at hand instead of searching for lost junk that may or may not help . Quite honestly the more you go in the sw story I found it is evident who is the true power in the sw story line.

To be fair it is a little merky that jedi and sith are an actual religion, not to mention there really isn't so much of a choice to be jedi or sith, and the force is really more of a form of primal energy than something that is caused by belief.

My guess is that the bonus they get from presence is probably the reason why they don't get relics.

Part of me also suspects in the next chapter wrath will probably at least be given interim placement in Baras' spot considering the cannon damage done to the dark councial. Not to mention from the councial's stand point giving wrath a position could help them try and figure out what the emperor is up to.

Yeah this game really isn't that great when it comes to player initated marriage proposal and similarly with Dark Side Jaesa it gets a little wierd, where I ended up was where I didn't really want the story of how we ended up engaed being because she said I should, and in the final convos she still talked about us being in a relationship and having sithy children.

Really so your suggesting people outside of fatman and the few other heavy servers should have to get every 50 that is loged on to do an operation? No thanks.
