Design intended to bring out the worst in people brings out the worst in people, more at 11.

Heyoooooooooo

I would just like to point out that the words "light side" appear approximately zero times in the original trilogy, as well as the prequels. The phrasing is a simplification the expanded universe has relied upon in order to keep stories moving, and to provide a functioning mechanical framework in video games. But star wars metaphysics do not work like dungeons and dragons. It's better to think of the force in terms of balance/imbalance. The "force in balance" is often described in games as some middle point between dark and light which misunderstands the role of the force and the relationship force sensitives have to it in the original films.

If they removed them to sell on cartel market I will have negative interest in purchasing them.

SW story is already a total male power fantasy, there's plenty I'd like to see changed in terms of class stories but this would be low on my list personally, not least of which would be the reason that one way or another strong emotion and emotional reaction is literally dark sided because it causes an imbalance in the force.

I'd like to see either of them as a romance option. They'd be better than Ashara "I'm immune to the dark side" Zavros.

You can have Watcher Two when I can have zash. That body-building machine on belsavis has to be good for something.

Stopped reading here because this is a legitimate complaint. If the mechanics are bad and I should avoid using them to have fun, why don't I instead play a game with better mechanics? Your response, I assume, would be that I should do that, but that obviously isn't how the developers are going to think and frankly your opinion doesn't mean ****.

Zash had plans which were foiled, the player is just kinda told... well, you need an apprentice.

Disapproval and approval should be giving the same amount of influence now, unless I'm mistaken. This change is essentially to help prevent companion content from getting gated behind a wall of roleplay-killing metagaming. Companion quests/conversations are unlocked through main story progression rather than affection amounts now which is nice. Influence mainly affects companion bonus stats and crew skill efficiency. No idea if they did anything different with Vette though I doubt it. Pretty sure they haven't touched the actual dialogue of the original stuff which would mean there would be contradictory lines and things to that nature.

World PvP is for skilless casuals who want to ruin people's fun so my opinion is don't have it at all.

World PvP is *** so in my opinion the easiest fix is not to include broken, un-fun game types.

Not missing the voice acting if the voice acting doesn't match the option I pick.

There aren't sub rewards, these are non-sub penalties.

And despite the fact that the mats are so plentiful, the prices are still outrageous. An option to dismiss alerts would go a ways towards getting me back into this game given that I'm apparently never getting Lokin.

I was hoping something farmable would exist but their messaging about it is so bad that I already cancelled subscription. At this point they'll have to actually improve some of this **** to get my money again.

If this isn't meant to be story content then my interest has dropped below zero. I have no interest in playing the exploding gtn terminal event. I have no interest in being forced to play with a community that's so fond of trying to verbally abuse people into quitting. This game is at its most fun when I can play it by myself or with a couple of friends when they feel up for it and everything they do to make me have to PvP or participate in group content or the game economy just makes me want to quit.

Yeah after turning in the 4k rep item you can only get one of your quest progression will read "Credits spent on the GTN: 800,000/2,000,000" instead of "Credits spent on the GTN: 0/2,000,000" Just over a million credits to go on a crew skill which is now objectively better than the others and doctor lokin can be all yours!

it's not like the economic imbalance this quest creates is an alternative - for 7/8 classes you have to get the medical **** to recruit Lokin. People don't need to "suck it up" and participate in a bad fake economy when we can make better purchasing decisions in a real economy.

You seem to be under the impression that buying power has no voice in a capitalist economy. You are mistaken.

I have cancelled my subscription because I don't want to pay real money for a game in which I pour fake money (which still represents real work) into a bad economy for story content. If this is what's meant to fill the time between chapter 9 and the new stuff next year, I'll pass. I want to see this game do well but I can't justify paying dollars for what I view as bad alliance progression.

They made one crew skill objectively better than the rest by virtue of it being integrated with alliance progression. I did discover it can be abandoned at least, now if I can get rid of the alert I guess that solves the problem. I would rather spend real money on the guild wars 2 expansion than fake money on overpriced crafting mods.

Seriously though I have no desire to engage in an opt-in free market, I have no inclination to give my money to the capitalist pigs on the GTN, and I now have less of an inclination to give my money to you.

For some reason I felt like lokin being linked to the rakghoul event meant I was going to engage with quests in a meaningful way for companion recruitment but this is apparently a companion that has to be bribed for millions of credits to purchase because for some reason as well as gating companions behind pvp, someone decided to gate them behind the GTN too? Is this going to be how further companions are gained? Arbitrary ******** that's straight up skippable by certain classes/professions? If so I think I'll *********** pass thanks. Really thought there was going to be something to do during the rakghoul event to get this companion. in lieu of recruiting lokin can I get an option back at base to nuke his house from orbit so I can get this quest out of my quest log? Otherwise it's just yet another thing I need to untrack since I will never do it.

Basically you have to buy him off the GTN apparently which is really *********** lame. We've been wasting our time waiting for this event.
