I don't think MMOs are for you. This scenario happens ALL the time, often around expansion release dates to encourage more people to get involved at that time. It is a reward for paying at that time. Its like going to the shops and they are sold out on your favourite toy and that toy is no longer in production. Suck it up and deal with it. Lifes not fair.. QQ more. People were given every opportunity including extended times on each reward to participate. And as to your argument "they were working" no they weren't they were not subbed at the time so were not working at the time.

Meeting the requirements for a reward is not entitlement... What these people are effectively saying is that they want to go to work, do nothing all day, and still get paid... And that is a perfect analogy for entitlement. You're whole world perspective on self entitlement is absolutely around the wrong way. And as to YOUR analogy, I just wouldn't sub, meet the requirements, get the reward and resub. Your argument is so childish and ill thought out that it just derails itself. Hell in that scenario I'm saving money and being rewarded for it!

Go and look up the word "REWARD". Everything you said in your entire post is absolutely ridiculous. You are clearly just bitter about having to pay for rise and SOR.

As someone who subbed and stayed subbed for the rewards, I would be so angry and feeling ripped off. They are a reward and you do not meet the criteria. They even extended the dates on all of the rewards so if you didn't sub during that time you definitely don't deserve them. I am sick of all these people who want something for nothing... No you don't deserve a chance at having him as a companion. Stop trying to make everything that people do to actually invest in this game be meaningless. You're cheap, and you don't deserve it. End of story. THE ONLY way i would be happy for people to get Nico would be if it cost the same as 3 (individual) month subs on the CM ($44.85) which is what people who subbed on a month by month basis (and most expensive) had to pay.

Gray Jedi living in the Shadowlands of Kashyyyk. Formally a Jedi Knight, I was sent on a mercy mission to save a village from raiders with my Padawan. The initial intel we were given was wrong as there were far more raiders then initially thought. Tthe mission turned south and went horribly wrong. After arriving the raiders attacked the village, wiping out most of the population and kidnapping my padawan, eventually killing her before I could save her. In rage I wiped out all of the raiders. Upon returning to the council no one blamed me, they even excused my rage considering the circumstances, but I could never forgive myself and knew what I was capable of. I left the order and exiled myself to the shadowlands becoming a hunter and foreger, trying to find my inner peace again.

Well i have found the drop rate for some items to be so ridiculously low that even after multiple hypercrates and hundreds of dollars that I an wasting my time... And because the items are so rare they are also ridiculously expensive on the GTN that I just can't be stuffed grinding that many credits to buy them. Its a real turn off to the whole CM that I won't be investing in it anymore. The risk vs reward just isn't paying off and I am to the point that I feel like I am being ripped off by bioware. They need to get rid kf the whole 'packs' theory and just post armour up as a full set for a specific amount of CC's and allow people to sell them on gtn for those that don't like spending real life money.

I have 22 characters 16 of which are already 60 and most others are sitting at 55. So I have decided to use this free 60 to recreate my character from KOTOR 2. So male Jedi Knight.

It is far past time to remove the item binds on items after purchasing on the CM. The main reason; Bag Space. Recently I have purchased a few hypercrates, and this is becoming an ongoing issue. There just isnt enough bag space to cater to everything that is coming out of crates. I have bags and banks that are overflowing and I cannot quest of level on one of my characters because I cannot pick anything up due to the items that are useless too however I can't sell them on the GTN for 2 days. This has been an ongoing frustration. Now here is the thing. If I am spending real life money on an ingame item... why can't I do what I want with it immediately? If I am purchasing it with the sole intent to make credits in game, I should be allowed to do so. Having items sitting around taking up space is a huge annoyance. Can we fix this please? I understand that the embargo was originally put in place to stop credit sellers etc or some rubbish but it is time that you found another way around that.

I've seen more people say they love the new stuff then not. You are confusing 'louder and more annoying' with 'most subs'

Being that I don't worry about crafting because its too much effort and credits are easy to make, I am planning on minimizing all of my crews down to my fav toons. So most jedi will have a padawan and thats it etc. Going to try and not double up on toons where possible to make it feel more immersive (unless its a droid like hk or my good ol treek). Now that characters can do all roles this makes it easy. I am curious to see how you can pick and choose between companions with new/old comps etc. very curious to see how it pans out.

Lol I like how people use the word 'forced' on you. Don't like it? Feel free to stay in fleet and on lvl 60 planets so you can be an omg god! No one is forcing you to go to level synched levels. And so what... Awwww you may have to pit in a tinsy bit more effort then if you were lvl maxed? Diddums. If you think killing mobs is hard in this game then I'd hate to see you play something else. I mean... We have companions that heal us... You can stand there and hit auto attack and win and thats when you are under levelled!

THIS EXACTLY!!! Yavin dailies x5 weeks for each toon x22 characters just so each companion can have mostly terrible looking but usable gear. Now I can go to my collections, mix and match as needed and boom - great looking companions without the fuss!

Why not give them a lvl 50 start (instead of 60). Give them a small starter zone of their own (think either mists of pandaria or death knights intro levels in wow) for some backstory and BAM! We have our backstory and teo reskinned classes that everyone kind of wanted in the first place. Still a bit of dev time but not as much as a 1 to 50 class story.

Sometimes you get sick of levelling, but already have tonnes of max level toons. But maybe you just want to create a class you love with new race etc etc... BAM. I have no issue with buying max level characters. Great feature.

Lol - that is all.

Not at all bummed... These compsnion changes should have been in the game from day 1... In fact I've often suggested they do exactly this change for companions. Gearing compaions was by far the most annoying feature of this game and often it meant many conpanions went unused. Now that gear is purely cosmetic I can finally have companions look exactly as I want without spending all my credits or worrying about stats. Its perfect!

I don't really have many issues with this game to be honost.... Years ago, yes, but now its pretty smooth. I get the occassional lag, but thats cause i'm in Aus. Bioware have adapted the engine far beyond what it used to be. Its not perfect but replacing the engine is a waste of time and money. They would probably just shut the game down and start a new project as that would probably be cheaper. I would much rather more content over no content thanks.

so true... i also didn't mean that they don't use the force per say, but they use a vastly different style of force with lots of alchemy and other dark magics involved.

So call them something else... I am sure that in a universe far far away where there has been the existence of the force there have been other 'witches'

So I was watching the clone wars the other day and was watching some of the episodes with the night sisters in them. And I thought, we have never really seen anything with them in it in SWTOR. A very cool group of people. It had me thinking that there is always talks of new classes/content etc, and thought this had some really cool untapped potential. Night Sisters do not use the force, they use magic. They also do not use lightsabers or guns, they use 'light bows' for lack of a better word and are very acrobatic. Its kind of like a cool middle ground between force users and non force users. And hey, I am okay with an all female 'race'. They way I see it they are pretty much the Death Knight equivalents in SWTOR and could be introduced in some similar way. Just a thought that popped into my head. Nothing I would go crazy over but a cool idea non the less. What do you all think?

Personally I just think the anount of effort needed just to unlock bits is far too high. Buying the ship alone should be enough. Why do we have to unlock things? Just make it come fully unlocked and use conquest for something else. I mean it already costs 50 million credits!

Reading through a lot of the combat forms for jedi... a lot of the forms used in game do not really 'suit' the actual styles. For example ataru form used in the sent/mara is meant to be an 'acrobatic' form... It certainly does not play this way. This is just one example. I think there is room to update many of the ingame animations (trooper animations for example have weird things coming out of the guns whereas the bounty hunter at least has a 'wrist' rocket launcher to shoot its rockets. But again as soon as you put two guns on a merc they are now shooting rockets out of two guns). I think it is time to look at how the animations work and make them more class specific.

Treek and HK are already on my toons. Pretty much treek for all healer and tank spots when I need it so I can actually fill my toons with companions that actually suit my stories. Bounty Hunter (kill skadge soooo fast its not funny) - Replace skadge with bowdaar (bounty hunter wookie anyone?) - Everyone else I like. - quizon fess might be a cool addition Sith Inquisitor - xalex (my trusty apprentice) - Khem (cause lets dace it he is awesome) - Then a bunch of non force users that are just imp officers like pierce and quinn etc... - ashara doesn't fit because I like the idea of the rule of 2. Sith Warrior - lord scourge as my apprentice - again a bunch of imperial officer type Imp agent - not sure what I would change here to be honost. Maybe some imp officer types that are more spy like. Smuggler - corsi riggs needs to go (maybe to a trooper in place of aric cause he sucks) but he annoys me on the smuggler - T7 - gus will be gone asap (hes my skadge of the alliance) - Niko Okaar - Risha - bowdaar Trooper - replace aric with someone else trooperish Jedi Knight - scourge doesnt make sense to me.. Maybe replace him with someone else Jedi Consular - i pretty much hate all the companions especially theran cedrix - nadia can stay Toons that will never see the light of day again if i can avoid it - skadge - theran cedrix - doc - Guss - Aric

This sounds amazing. I can finally create an alliance of companions that 1) I like and 2) will suit the type of 'team' i'd like to quest with... Being that I have treek and HK, compainion roles are catered for, so finally I can quest with who I want to fill the story roles I want... Fantastic! Thank god.... No more skadge!

Its fine to say there are only 4 slots when there are only 4 available strongholds. And again if you had read the prior posts I wasn't playing when stringholds were released so I missed all of that. So yeah, don't need to be rude as I have an extremely legitimate argument.
