Is there a chance you could move the titles to HM too? Neither operation has a HM title reward, and it seems like such a waste to just throw the titles away and make them unavailable for future characters.
maybe I'm missing some thing no ops that i remember or have done has a title run below NIM . then everyone would want a HM tittle run maybe.

Sorry, I know this isn't a request for a type of mount.
I would like to see the mount achievement system changed.
Reward players for collecting X amount of mounts.
With rewards for collecting 50, 100, 150, 200 mounts etc.
This would encourage people to buy more mounts, whether from the GTN or the Cartel Market
I second that one . I'm a mount whore so to speak any game i play for a extended Leigh of time i don't mean hours inthe day i mean i play for years . i go after mounts, when i set my sights on one i want questing/mission Running OP/raids or off the CC , i don't give up till i have it .
I can give a lot of names of mounts and ideas but most are covered so far by other players and a few others that fly , i won't get into right now .

For the love of god....NO FLYING MOUNTS!!
I don't understand why people keep asking for this, its such horrible game design.
It trivializes things like questing, collecting datacrons (!!!), exploration, etc.
Just go over to the WoW forums and see all the drama going on over there now. The devs have realized what a horrible design idea flying was and tried to remove it this xpac. There's been nothing short of a full scale revolt going on until the devs finally caved and are bringing it back. Now they've painted themselves into a corner they can't get out of.
Trust me...it seems like a good idea but it really, really isn't.
Have you actually been there Latly do you know now we just can't buy it you have to see it all for any new expac sorry i your wrong prove it will hurt the game then i Will leave it alone you can't if you don't want it don't do the the mission to do it I'm not saying just let us buy it etc thu I'm sure it will come to that EA see a buck made you know that but make us work for it at first it has yet to hurt wow that i see in fact most i talk to are glad wow made us work for it it is more rewarding now .
Ive been playing MMO for years it is a good idea thu you think not they said all most the exact same thing in wow no one gets backed into a corner because they can't control it, that;s false . I have yet to in wow i get stuck on the ground or in the air it is no diff that's just false assumption.you get back into a corner as you call or it hurts questing mission etc it simply does not .
What it comes down is you don't want them no idea why
or real reason other then you don't. you give the same excuses all others games i have played wow being the main one, til it went in and non of it is true.YOU really think that's why the DEV make us quest it, they should have all a long because everyone wanted it it has been planed to happen for some time not for your reason . i for one am glad they did . but they had planed it as far back as when you could fly almost every were in wow they said one day they may make us quest it in coming expec. if i could find that blog believe me i post it to prove my point .
i can think of lots of mounts that fly form the movies i would want from the movies but what's the point if i can't have them or have them as ground mounts only .

I am going to disagree with you and break one of my own rules. I normally don't speak much about SWG but in that game we had flying mounts, Peko-Peko, Condor Dragons, etc. and it was not a problem. I never once heard about any problems they had. It can be done but it is probably difficult to do. It might have been a different set up but it was done but the point I am making it can be done but probably not easy.
As far as people asking for them, that is their right since BW asked them what they would like. It really comes down to what BW wants to do.
And on that note:

I too am in support of a variety of flying mounts whether it be thrantas, ministarships, etc. long overdue in my opinion. Not sure what the devs plan on flourish is these days but no longer restricting it to a few cartel market vehicles would be a great change as well.
yea why not as long as they make us work for it in that mean like wow does now , it won't hurt the game might even give it more , there are a few mounts form the movies id love to have but they only fly sigh .
I feel the ones against it for what ever reason are wrong it can be used on every planet , i can see ways of making leveling more interesting if you get flying skill etc for doing that planets Story line for that planet or do a fleet achievement for flying on the fleet if you don't want it don't do it don't make other suffer who do in fact want it and there are a lot more then we all think there is .. this can only improve the game not make it worse . if it makes worse i don't see how if they make us work for it , like wow does now i did enjoy getting it for the patch when wow will give it to us i worked for it I feel i dev it more now .

The more presence you have the more Treek pulls ahead of the other Tanks, especially if you have the full +500 from legacy.
Don't forget to get the Human class first in the line up it's the only one on the account that gives a full 100 per toon
.I have all the legacy buff on both my accounts . -
Nah khem still is unless your leveling as dps or a tank then yea she is . but before her as some one else said use the healer pets the right way etc . but to me
KHEM still rules I pull a lot with him i mean a lot at once .Ive tired with her and all ways end up pulling khem back out .

with my gunslinger i can easily kite other players than my sorc, maybe its me. Btw my hands are up as u can see
AS fro kitting sorc do it best if you keep at it and work on it . that's players in pvp or npc in OPS .
-
I know this has been said before also know a few not most, don't want it .
flying mounts
but do it like wow does make you see everything first that means one long line of achievements before you get it, on all planets . you can no longer just buy it in wow with a new expac, i Know I just did most of the prestuff all but the rep till the patch that releases were we can actually fly in the new expac . you have to do a lot to get it and see it all this time, no skipping . isn't that why so many are against it, well theres one way no one should be upset but some one all ways is .

is the old bug back or is it intended now .
endless force with no live drain i renumber those days but this is better if it's not a bug lol . then you had to actually watch it some with the then bug, but no limits on,
Cunsuming, no way ? .
IF that's not bug then i don't know what is i can spam heals all day long and not lose one inch of live and sty at full force using it , when we had the first time bug you had to actually watch how you used it, now you don't, please tell me that's a bug .

Nerfed really I heal the best on my sorcs, i have all the healer at max level or close and my two 60 sorc, i Simply love to play .
Hate palying my operative now as healer sense she had OS removed as a healer or operative, and hunter and sorc kept there aoe which made no sense , now she boring to heal on , noting more then a roll in your face healer before with OS it was fun to throw out OS form time to time . same as i do on my sorc or hunter with there aoes, if they get it removed from them you know how boring it will make healers to most not all some actually like that sitting back doing nothing but healing . hey but I'm a no body .I play to have fun just saying how i feel about healing in SW I love it but don't make it boring, dpsing while you heal makes it less boring etc and keeps you on your toes more.
but sorc are far from being nerfed
.They take some skill to play now. I don't use a set rotation it takes some skill to do it like I do . -
I'm not against it, I just live in reality.
It just isn't going to happen.
Thats just it I am more in reality them you think just your term of reality .
Take EQ 1 i know it;s crap game now but it going strong with the same player base as this one they keep shelling out those improvements and some are better then this game . and real expac not what they call expac here .
well any way D 9 support may be dropped very soon i read some place it old and out dated and had it usefulness ..
GL all just a thought sense it's time to think about it in a real reality .

Lets pretend a hypothetical situation completely NOT In touch with reality. I am the Pres of EA and say, I dont care how much it costs, lets upgrade the SWTOR engine and get it 64 bit AND DX 12!
So, who here really knows what that entails? How much money? 100 million? 250 million?
My assumption is its easier to simply create a new engine and PORT everyone over to the new game rather than rewrite the entire engine from the ground up.
Even if they did rewrite the entire game engine the servers would have to be offline for many hours simply to rewrite every line of code and the likelihood of poorly written code and errors is very high.
when wow did it ( wow is just example they factored it in over time ) I' m really starting to be amazed at how it's not even a thought which leads me to believe how much longer will this game be. you do not have to rewrite the game engine to add support . I 'm not asking for a complete rewire to add that support . i asking for them to add it not rewrite the game in a 64 bit format with 32 bit support with Dx 12 or better that would cost and will never happen .
-
WoW has 10 million subs and has earned over $10 BILLION dollars... they can afford to rewrite the game engine 5 times if they want to...
SWTOR has MAYBE 500k subs if you're being kind, likely 300k at this point...
WOW was just example but other game with a smaller player base then wow have done it, if you need me to prove it why there is i don't need to prove any thing i only play two games now wow and SWTOR both are awesome games i have played both form beta , while i played other games long the way . i hate to see this go which can happen at any time .
why do you seem so dead against it ?.
Or even mantle support for the AMD players .

I expect they do know how improved it would make SWTOR. I also expect they know how difficult such an undertaking would be for them, how expensive it would be, and whether it would be feasible to do at all.
I rather expect you do not know, or have any inkling.
your comment is noted and no matter what I say you will all ways say just that. i know what it takes but as i said they have to be reaching there end of Dx 9 what happen when MS stops support for DX 9. I remember when Sony went to DX 9 becasue they could no long do any more with D8 and MS dropped support . i bet you don't know or even know about the eq 1 days one the games that lead the way for these games . but your comment is noted and it's the usually excuse. Money cost prove it . they won't . can you ? show me there books to show the real amount they make off us and if they do it slowly over time the cost will factor in .

With Dx12 coming later this year with Windows 10 . SWTOR is still using DX 9 and 32 bit . I wonder if the DEV really know how much more stable SWTOR would become if they wrote in a newer DX and 64 bit .
WOW at first said the same thing I'm sure a lot here will say but once wow did it it worked .
and some other games, don't go there it's the game engine etc at this point in SWTOR it's no longer the game engine they have a handle on things from what i see bugs get fixed in a reason able a mount of time they do some awesome stuff with Dx9 but dx + or 12 can do better with more freedom. what happens when D x 9 gets played out in sure they are getting to that point now . do they shut down SWTOR from lack of support because they can't keep up or do they do it .

First off, thanks for admitting why you are doing it....balancing talent trees is a lot of work. At least you did not insult the player base by trying to feed us the WOW spiel about how much more fun it would be if all our toons were cookie cutter carbon copies, saving us from wasting our time customizing our toons.
I'm no great programmer, but I dabble a little, mostly just mods and such. I understand all too well how the slightest change can unbalance everything and turn a smooth program into a disaster, requiring hundreds or thousands of man hours of coding and play testing to make it all work again, but that's why we buy the game every month, with our subscription fee, instead of a one time purchase.
I will give it a chance, but if it is anything like the WOW system where you have a total of six choices to develop your character, I will unsub SWOTOR just as fast as WOW. WOW lost a third of it's subscribers, IMHO, because they dumbed the game down to 'make it fun'. They lost me, despite sixteen level 90 toons, years of playing, and thousands of raids. I switched to SWOTOR, because it wasn't a dumbed down talentless game.
What worries me is the part of the post where you said you don't want people gaming the talent system to come up with new rotations, combinations, play styles. My favorite part of the game is finding new strategies, rotations, play styles, finding ways to stand out from the crowd. I love the perk of a new talent or ability every level, it keeps me coming back for more.
I WILL NOT PLAY a game where every toon is exactly the same, has the same rotation, the same five abilties, the same five basic stats, the same five automatically assigned abilities. MMO PVP is fun when you go into a fight never knowing what you're up against. Arcade PVP is boring as hell, because it is just a matter of who has the best reaction speed and can time their GCDs better than the other toon.
I know some people prefer that style, just jump in and play, and that's fine. That's their opinion, it's a matter of taste, and their opinion is no more or less valid than mine. That being said, if that is the direction this star cruiser is heading, it will be time for me to find another ride.
Please don't get stuck on the balance bandwagon. I don't want boring, bland, spiceless, balanced toons. Variety in MMOS, just like life, is the stuff that keeps me coming back. The stuff that keeps me paying $15 dollars a month.
/e Crosses Lightsabers, /e Hopes this isn't a train wreck
Try Rift now that is has some tress i don't even want to to mess with .
well any way well see how this works a lot won't like it i can see that now . this was one reason a lot stopped playing WoW . just confirming what hes saying a lot left wow because of this, hes right .
-
really hate to say this if you want to see this in action just play wow this is there version of what WoW has been doing for year now, i just hope its better .
-
it might be poss I have never tried , don't see why not, i four maned NIM kp once in a grouped geared in 69's on the PTS >
I soloed the last boss in cad one time, wanted to see if i could on my sorc, it was a very long fight but i won in one try. .
-
I wasn't aware there was anything to cleanse at The Eyeless. If there is, I've been playing it wrong on my healer.
Can't remember any of those either at The Eyeless.
Ive tried i don't know of one but if there is, tell what it is
. FB won't even take off the De buff , I've tryed that to . Sorc can't ,now i want to know if operative can , sorc can 't cure some stuff hunter and operative can like the last boss the in labs my sorc can cure some of it but my hunter or operative i can take off any debuff that boss does .

A group kicked me on my Sorc healer in HM 55 BT because I was DPSing. I healed and made sure no one died, but I was DPSing during thrash and boss fights when no one was in danger of dying. I think it was right after the big probe boss that they kicked me.
P.S. no one died while i was healing them / dpsing the adds..
hm i know this a old post you made , don't feel bad i have had that happen a lot . i look @ it this way if no one is dieing and every one is @ full health, I going to dps but if anyone needs healing that's my job it comes first you will not die because of no healing from me even if you suxed >
that's what i came as and that's what i do but if i can i will dps if you no one likes it kick me , was not aware of BT being 55 on HM any way that was just wrong they kicked you on a 50 run @ 55 you can solo that on HM @ 55, joke was on them . if it was black talon

hm here is a more up to date link for the road map wonder why he linked the more out of date one ...
http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=7404762#edit7404762
or why hey did not update the old one yet .
Why not just tell us all ready i know a few who will stop playing if we don't get some very new exciting stuff soon, me included . I've hung in there back when servers were down to may be 6 on the fleet at any given time . All i could do was solo stuff till we were moved to bigger servers .
Now this little or no info or up dates that really have nothing to do with the story line of the game or do but then nothing but it s coming .

Here, Menace, since you keep missing the point:
In your own words, what do you believe is the intent behind Bind on Legacy modable gear?
To share gear between toons ( when I say gear i do mean mods armoring etc sense you need it to gear, it is gear ) . and gear them up with gear that you would not others wise use or have a use for on a toon that can not use it .
And when they put it in the game they stated that was one use for it .
-
Removing mods is a credit sink? lmao since when? The amount of credits I spend removing mods could be used for toilet paper.
I agree ,I'm all ways moving bop mods around with Legacy gear .
its nothing to me ether .
at least we can still do it by all the post and what I've read here .
I hope
The DEV are not to clear, that I can see if legacy gear is still as use full .
I'll use the storage but was so hoping i could put some relic tokens in there for my Artifice to RE, i have no use for on one of my 55.
Till they fix it ,I can wait .
By the way they talked they couldn't do it right now because of some issues .
or real reason other then you don't. you give the same excuses all others games i have played wow being the main one, til it went in and non of it is true.

some thing like wow does now, Ive been playing wow for a few months, WoD actually got me back and SW atm got to boring to keep playing . I do hope this expac is a big improvement for SW . i only have one Sub left here atm but if this exapc is impressive, I will re new my other account and keep this account renewed . but this is just like wow just SW version of it , trade wise or crating wise , wow has been some thing like this for all most two expac now . sorry to say,SW is just picking up on it .
IN wow you can craft story mode and heroic raid gear . they Archived old crafts for the same reason to make it more understand able . in fact you can get a full set of just above heroic raid gear but below mystic raid gear by doing faction on the jungle quest . you can craft blues that are upgrade able to epic and sell well should be the same here .
but one mistake they are making here wow wont do it making ll the old raids max level , i enjoy going back and doing achievements and what not i couldn't get done before because of the BS . or doing ops with less then able group and max pulling for fun . and a lot of others do to but no new ops is kind of a turn off and making all ops hard is a mistake imo but that's me, i do hope it works .
right now according to raptr wow is the third most played game around and SW is the 12 most played game . so wow is doing some thing right . I still love SW but got to bored playing it .
