As the title states, this update is absolutely, freaking hilariously, amazing! No sarcasm intended. @Eric Musco Reasoning: After being let down by KOTFE primarily due to the level sync being forced and the loss of the unique character of HK and Treek, it was a bit off setting. As well as getting stoked for the story - only to find its same story across all classes, coupled with an individual grind for bases which should be legacy wide (at least throughout the faction.). Regardless! With today's announcement, and all the hype building up to it, the amount of letdown is at an epic level of hilariousness. This is literally the only thing besides a full KOTFE revamp that would get me to subscribe over the next year. The epic random return of HK which was identified to be due to player feedback, just makes this all the more awesome and worthwhile. WIth all the complainers, trolls, and whiners and the like over the years, attempting to threaten/bully/sour the economy and community - Eric's reactions to these wannabe mental noobs has been nothing short of hilarious and comical to say the least, even refreshing. Times when Eric warned everyone to stop complaining and whining on the forums otherwise they were gonna remove this and that, just made my and many other players days. Now with the Revenge of the HK expansion, everyone whining about stuff theyve been getting all along (pvp, operations, etc) cant handle the fact that a story driven game has finally gotten a story update of some value, got trolled hardcore yet again. All the meanwhile the twitch was all glad and happy go lucky, especially with their intro about all the positive posts from the first day of KOTFE launch. People over the years forget about how story driven players have gladly sat by and appreciated the extent of raids and pvp updates happening while awaiting story updates (the only reason many even play or come to the game in the first place, it is star wars, not pvp wars or raidcraft). Good job Eric, and even moreso for finding pretty much the only way to get me to drop a sub for a year. To all the trolls, here is a LOL for you meatbags

The new companion shift is horrendous.... We appreciated companions because of stuff like HK and Treeks uniqueness. Now all companions are just skins with grinds..... Each companion should AT least have a unique ability in one or more categories. For those that did not know: HK had an instant kill ability after he has racked up 5 kills. This would auto any basic or silver elite mob regardless of hp #. He also benefitted from 2 different stats equally making it hard for diminishing returns to affect him, thus becoming more powerful overall. Treek in combat mode was both amazing at damage dealing, holding aggro and tossing healbombs....or was just a stellar healer when needed..... now theyre both empty shells, nothing more than useless skins and have nothing unique other than their appearance and combat dialong (which we already hated on treek). Treek cost real money to get and now weve had what we paid for taken away. Period - they need to rework companions and give some sort of unique function to each.

Hmm not sure how this works? 9854 cant seem to find date

Dear friends at SWTOR, Please adjust the game to allow us to "toggle" level sync on and off. Forcing a level sync is outrageous and makes it so that many of us will not go back and touch old content again period including old planets. Doing dailys that I enjoyed are now a slap in the face (think Ilum). We put several years of hard work into our characters and should be able to reap the level difference rewards. Imagine a soldier in real life going into a combat zone and "dumbing" himself down to the level of his opponents.....that just doesnt happen. Ive played other games continously that had working level sync options (Final Fantasy 11) for example. Their model was perfect. The key was being able to toggle on and off. The experience gain from syncing is not very useful at high levels as it takes an hour or so from 60 to 65 as well. Also before anyone decides to post contrary to this thought - remember a toggle affects nobody. If you like level sync, then keep the toggle on. Period its that easy. Ive been playing mmos for about 15 years now, and was a community lead in the previous Star Wars MMO (Galaxies) since launch. Military service and public official, and been playing this since beta solid. Please consider this request as it will enhance gameplay, not detract from it. Forcing level sync into a game that hasnt had it for years is offensive and discouraging. Thanks, Yespa

Actually it was officially announced at Gamescon, all stats are in fact going through a rework, we wont even have main stats anymore.

All the stats are going through a rework and revamp in 2 months anyhow. Regardless, presence is strictly for solo or duo pve play, non operation related. it has very limited usage, and a player should always prefer personal stats over presence. The only time actual presence gear would be worthwhile is during levelling, and only if using a tank companion...and even then, u dont want to be midding your armor, would take more creds and time than its worth. Maybe if u solo high end flashpoints, it may be negligably beneficial. As previous poster mentioned, just stick with the natural versions, also u can unlock human, just by getting a human to level 50 and completing a mission....this is worthwhile, if u plan to expand your legacy and level many heroes.

At The Germany Gamescon, it was confirmed that both: 1. Open World Space is capable with the game engine 2. It was decided against because it was too much of a "headache" to implement. So there we have it - a great game (SWG) replaced by a semi decent game (SWTOR) when it could have in many other aspects including space, been implemented but avoided due to nothing other than.....laziness. This is where your subscriber base will come from Bioware - undo the damage done by the original team and make this game the Gem it was supposed to be and in fact can be, they even had the ability to have drivable AT-AT yes, not At-St but At-Ats.......

Yes and no, keep in mind that Treek can be made available legacy wide at level 10, thus that gear is really useful for newly made characters. Totally worth getting!

Treek is absolutely amazing - and if you have her unlocked, she comes fully geared and available at level 10. She is the numero uno companion, besides tanking and healing, she is bad***** dps when properly geared. Levelling alts she kills stuff before i get near them, on my mains, she just trashes through the dailys and i do very little work. Go Treek, ull never use another companion - even prefer her over hk cause she tosses aoes and healbombs like theres no tomorrow.

The quickest Ive levelled a toon is 13hrs and a few minutes. On average takes me about 18 hrs of gameplay. Just a fyi, 3 days is waay to long unless youre playing 6-7hrs each day only.

Only if theyre given away as golden tickets inside chocolate bars...

Hi there! Thanks for this - over the years i've dropped several suggestions into the suggestion box, some regarding mounts! As mentioned in previous posts, can we please have the basilisk Mount? This is likely going to be the most requested one. An easier one would be the Lava Vorantikus on Oricon, already have the model ingame and as a mount, surprised this wasnt provided. Also, an At-St Walker that is covered with a flourish would be wonderful. Having a creature drawn chariot would be cool (maybe class specific, Jedi get a flesh raider chariot lol) Having a BARC like speeder would be cool. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Biker_Advanced_Recon_Commando AT-XT http://swg.wikia.com/wiki/AT-XT_Vehicle Acklay Mount would be awesome but unlikely ------ Theres a bunch more but unlikely if too many. Also it would be GREAT if we could finally have mount color options, maybe paint kits / dyes etc. We find it offensive as a community that we have reskins of same mounts marketed at us. Many gamers friends of mine who have been together for a decade have left due to this and other stuff. Flourishes are cool, but color kits are paramount to the community that enjoys this stuff. Also, please provide new unique ways to get mounts, besides play pvp, or do this operation or buy from these vendors. Give us quests that are epic to get some unique mounts with depth. Please! Thanks Hope to see one or more of these!

Wow thanks for the responses all. Its sad to see that they neglected this opportunity to address the lockboxes. It is what it is we guess. Honestly, sub is only worthwhile for a couple of things, that mainly being max credit cap. They should offer a purchasable option to increase the softcap permanently. Alot of us would buy that...

Yes please, if you redeem a code, please post your own code so we can continue to receive benefits!

Thanks, that was my greatest fear is that there was no schem. So sad how rare this item is to have!

Hey all, this is old school, but something I missed out on, first day beta founder here. http://tor-fashion.com/centurion-force-mysticforce-master-pub/ They are the glowing runewords lower robe we say in the oricon splash screen a while back, and were the very first pvp gear rewards back in the day. Appreciate it if anyone was actually able to get this schem, as it was pub side! Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback, I do appreciate it and am aware of all the points made. Thanks!

I also completely forgot the single, most important Quality of Life adjustment. Allow us to have the option to "check" off GTN searching items we already own. Perfect example, I head to the mounts category and proceed to scroll through 100+ pages where the first 80 are under say 500k. The slight chance that there is a useful, missing mount I havent added prevents me from changing the filter levels. This has many applicable uses and is perfect for many in many instances. Also can we get an update to how long we can place sales, every 2 days is getting a bit overwhelming, thanks!!

Hi all! Its been sometime since being on here, but so much has happened. Being a beta player here, and in galaxies as well back in 03ish, ive been involved for quite sometime with the commnity and star wars as well I've made a few suggestions in the past, and some of those have actually made it onboard, so here is to hoping some of these, if not all will make it as well: 1. Fix the "hanging cloak" graphic issue on vehicles, please!! 2. Give us an option to "Turn On/Off" Companion dialog. This is for all of us Treek Owners, one of the most amazing companions, coupled with one of the worst sounds, its a challenge to turn audio on with him while questing! 3. Not sure if this is being added in the upcoming expansion, but the ability to access any unlocked companion. Given we have Treek and HK, most other companions are outclassed, and rather just there for looks. Also in strongholds, allow us to maintain the outfits they are wearing regardless of which hero is logged in. 4. Vehicles: Please, please stop giving us reskins and marketing ploying that, rather give us "Paint Kits" or a scheme by which to paint our mounts!!! This will add greatly to the versatility and individuality of the vehicles. Getting 4 of the same mount over the period of a year is quite offensive to many of us, and many have left because of this marketing tactic! 5. Give us the ability to "Unlock" Dyes, rather than consuming them once applied. Gie us a color palette and then unlocks for hues etc. 6. This is a personal favorite. Now that we have started to get armor effects, allow us to have a "Gear Slot" for costume effects. This has a great level of marketing and fun combined and would make many players extravagently happy, and individually noticable. 7. In addition to costume effect, add a "Gear Slot" for special item for the hero. Think a gas mask for areas with environmental poisons, the MGG5 for pvp and environmentals, a utility belt pretty much and add all new useful and vanity items for us, great for marketing and will ratchet up the fun! 8. Costume Designer for Companions. This is likely a #1 priority for a large amount of players. 9. Since it just happened by mistake, why not add an enhancement slot to all bracers and belts? 10. Forum Discussion - there are som many areas that non-subscribers post off site now, like reddit, why not bring your player and community base BACK by allowing those with say 90 days since account creation and preferred status to post on the forums, even if limited to x amount of posts per day? We have, and bio/ea have lost a large customer base just because of how the forums are handled. The amount of contributions that would be made with these changes would be extreme. 11. ***VETERAN REWARDS***: Seriously surprised these have not been implemented yet. There should be a reward system for those that have been subscribers, preferred and ftp, as well as daily, weekly and log in rewards. This would motivate ALOT of Star Wars players to log more often. There could be a way to give x reward to those who have had x amount of subscriber time, increased in increments, x items + x items to those with x amount of preferred, and so on. 12. The ability to convert Creds into Cartel Coin and Vice Versa. Some other games have this function, and their FTP model does really well. Of course, that could be a broken gimmick here with some players having 300+ mil easy these days. 13...Cant believe I almost forgot this. When server transferring, many things that we paid credits for on the old server will not transfer over!!! For example, I cannot unlock my fully unlocked Tatooine house on the new server unless I pay the 2.5mil unlock fee...again!! Thats absurd! Worse, some vehicles I had purchased on ingame vendors, most notably the basic vendor on Voss and Quesh, did not carry over and I have to repurchase them....lol This needs to be reviewed asap. 14. Provide sme sort of reward, maybe in weekly, or veteran, that allows us to massively unlock collections across the account. The costs of unlocking are way to extreme to be worth it atm, and only the hidden gems that are under 100 coins each are anywhere near worthy. If I think of more, ill be sure to post!

Ok! Hello im an active player since beta, founder, and also played since beta SWG. I missed out on these back at the beginning, and hoping to find Someone who is able to craft it, apparently not many were able. Its called the Centurion Force Mystic Lower Robe, and is the one with Glowing Runes. http://tor-fashion.com/centurion-force-mysticforce-master-pub/ This was a republic item, thus its rarity from launch! IGN is Yespa (Pub side) If somehow you have to contact me on imp side, I have a BH there too Thanks!

Hey all, Yespa here!!! Just in case everyone was wondering what I/we've been up to lately, its been quite fun actually. Given the years here, and the connections made here and through other platforms, we have organized into a small tech startup company called Collaborative Games, and are looking for some community support. We are hoping to get some Star Wars licenses soon too for a cool game weve been hoping to create! here is our fundraising campaign, and the site is there as well: fundanything.com/cgi Thanks and hope to see some community love! Sincerely, Yespa

Dear friends at SWTOR, It has been brought to the attention of the SWTOR community via external forums that players who are free - to - play (primarily preferred) CANNOT open nor receive the companion 192 gear box implemented recently. As it stands, it is hard for them to post on the official forums, and thus this topic may get looked over since those who can post here are subd. Please look into this, as it is something that is likely automatically tied into the credit chest rewards from old quests that were subscriber only! Thanks, Yespa

Hi all! What a crazy couple of months we've had since release aye???! Ok here is a simple suggestion to deal with a recent issue encountered in game. THE PROBLEM: Unlike when game launched, customer service no longer responds to guild recovery inquiries. This will occur when say a guildmaster is away for more than 30 days, some random person gets assigned the guildmaster role.... THE SOLUTION: Have the guildmaster be able to designate up to 3 guildmembers they would want priority in becoming guildmaster in case of their absence! It is a simple QoL fix that could be added to a hover menu in the guild menu tab. Thaks and hopefully this can be worked! -Yespa
