umm...turn off grass? edit: seriously though, out of all the issues with this game, that's what makes you want to quit?

Well i can say that a guild that clears an operation and gets loot for their members could be considered winning...sure. If you use gear level as a measuring stick then yeah. Theres still no reason to consider the game pay to win though. Seeing all the game content doesnt really qualify as "winning". It just means you have to wait until you can play again. Different players play the game for different reasons. Even if people did pay to get carried through operations it still doesnt affect you in the slightest as a player - except if your whole reason for playing the game is havin the bigest epeen and sitting in front of mailboxes showing off your gear (in which case you probably chose the wrong game - CM items look better than raid gear ).

They stay the same? I dont get why you're confused... Let's say you have a republic or empire guild - expansion is released, factions are gone, you still have a guild...and you can now recruit players from the other faction...

I wont even bother reading the first post, not even going to argue about whether the holy trinity is good or bad for mmos... I only want to say one thing to the OP: You're asking for the dps / tank / healer roles to be removed from the game. In other words a complete rewrite of the game's combat mechanics (gear included) and possibly the need to modify every single boss encounter... You're asking this from developers that waited for at least 1 full year to fix the infamous "Companion lightsaber bug" and havent touched the skill trees to fix PvP and PvE balance for, what... 6 months at least? Can i have some of what you're smoking please?

Good job, i've been looking for a site like this for a while now. Hope you dont get tired adding stuff

That's how it should have been of course, but we all know its not going to happen now...

They didn't "add" anything - it was already there, they just recolored the whole thing and named it "Phantom"

This is pretty much what i thought when i found out about this. I'm not paying 8-10 bucks just for 5 new levels/one new area (which is practically the same thing). Wow has a new patch out with a "new area", extra daily quests - not just a bunch of 4-5 quests but at least 15 of them enabled randomly, quests that advance the expansion's story and end up in an epic mount reward, new pve feature (brawler's guild), a new attempt at world pvp (dont know how well that's going yet but im willing to bet its better than the lagfest at illum), continuation of their *legendary* quest chain, multiple changes in classes in a continuous attempt to keep them balanced, lots of bug fixes and some extra mini-dungeons (scenarios). And all you have to do for that is stay subscribed. Instead now EAware charges me for being able to play the game efficiently and requires that i pay extra for an expansion with 2 features. I have no reason to support this game any longer - it was fun while it lasted even though people expected so much more from this game. Have fun, bb, and you can't have my stuff. They're fine as they are right now, taking up a few extra kilobytes of save space in EA's servers.

These games have much MUCH more advanced character customization in general, its not just the hair. Especialy Aion, when i started i was at a loss with what you could do with it - and NC even upgraded it a year after release.

Hey, i wish males had one or two long hair options as well...

Clipping hair is taboo for Bioware. See mass effect, dragon age (I and II), kotor I ...

I have an idea to fix world pvp too! Fix the engine so the game can render more than 30 players on screen at the same time without becoming a lagfest.

+1 for this, although the rewards arent as important for me as the ability to re-do some of the most critical for the storyline quests. I wonder if a feature like this could make killing your companions viable again...

Wow... that's just... weird. I noticed that something strange's up with this issue as well. I saw another player wearing the robes and the color of his chest piece seemed to be the original red color that shows up on conversations and preview panels. I'll try grinding some darkside points so i can go to dark 3-4 and see if the chest piece's color changes with the skin color from darkside corruption

This...actually is a pretty solid idea... And bounty hunters can finally feel like that jetpack they carry is not just for show

Because obviously the majority of the playerbase prefers near humanoid races to completely alien ones. Personaly i wouldnt even touch a wookie or a jawa as a PC species. You can see clearly which races are "popular" with the community here: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=479757 Also i completely disagree with Wookies, Jawas etc. being worthwile to play. They might be fun for a while but they will never fit the current class stories.

This is a known bug that has existed since launch - maybe even before that. It has nothing to do with the ability to copy characters on the PTS, they just havent fixed it. Simple as that.

@ Alezzandro - Dude, you should really consider playing Tera... the outfits there will be right up your alley Jokes aside, what i'd really like to see is something suggested by a lot of people in this thread already: An item (possibly bought by the cartel shop) that turns any piece of gear into orange adaptive gear (even empty/without mods). edit: Also, lower level restrictions in the armors from the Cartel market - even for those models that were used by high level gear originaly. Also, low level PURPLE crystals... with white core... you know, the original ones - not some rediculous pink/purple, orange/yellow green/somon rainbow/dash crystals.

you cant get to light 5/dark 5 if you have points of the opposite alignment - so in your case, you cant get to light 5 unless you grind out all your dakside points. Once you hit 10000 light, you cant get any more, so each time you'd get light points, the same amount of dark are removed instead until they're all gone. You'll hit light 5 then.

This year is almost over anyway, what's the point of whining about it now? Also why is it so important to get released *this year*, rather than...say in 3 months or something?

You can do most of the content solo in WoW, Aion, GW2, Lineage2 (probably), DCUO, Rift... what's your point exactly? That because with the help of companions some classes can solo Heroic missions this game isnt multiplayer-friendly? You can also solo content intended for multiple players in other MMOs... Hunters, Death knights, paladins in WoW... Rangers in Aion kiting stuff to infinity... Frost mages in wow kiting stuff to infinity... In the end even if the "group" content was harder - or didnt allow companions to be used, or whatever, some people would still choose to try soloing (some even enjoy doing that just to see if they can), or even worse they'd skip it entirely. If players arent grouping (which i assure you is not the case afaik), its because the game isnt giving them enough reason to do so. Also, there will always be players that group up, regardless of whether there's a reward for doing so or not, just because they enjoy playing/questing/pvping together. The companions have nothing to do with this - you can even think them as a part of each class. You can do a lot with them if you use and equip them properly, but you cant complete 100% of the game just with them. (see Operations, Warzones)

2 new pages in a few hours... not bad

There's already a similar thread - anyone interested add your votes there http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=479757 edit: hundreds of votes there already, help keep the topic up and support your favorite species. There are already loads of species proposed.

Indeed this could become weird when questing - on the other hand, theres no class that is a pet class in its core, so they are nonexistant in endgame and for the most part in group content (flashpoints and some difficult heroics) Its all about how bioware decides to go with this stuff. Im all for a pet using class (could be droid pets, dominating animals with the force etc.) but there is the factor of balancing, both in PvE and PvP so my guess is the devs would be reluctant to add something like this to the game.

This was the biggest turnoff for me at launch. The pvp objctives etc. were obviously broken too so people just ended up farming illum once per day then leaving, but this...
