Hmmmm, my sub just ran out recently and yet I seem to be able to post here. I think I read somewhere that forum posting privileges run out soon after your active playtime subscription runs out. The two aren't one-and-the-same, though.

Not quite sure what you mean OP. I think you can still post as an unsubbed customer as long as you still have playtime left on your account. If you mean unsubbed members with no playtime left, then yes I don't think they can respond. Anyways, I only have 1 day left of playtime, so I'll see if I can get back to answer your thread question tomorrow if I can! (or not...)

My favorite was the final boss at the end of the consular quest line. He was pretty awesome to take down, although I needed the help of a random I picked up to help me kill him

AND................ the OP has been destroyed by the rabid fabois once again. Kudos to you gentlemen. Calling him out as a troll without making an intelligent response to his main point. Bravo, just bravo.

Great, my server isn't on the list so I get to be screwed over by BW's transfers. Not only that, but the guy I rerolled on fatman like everyone was saying to do now will NEVER get transferred to the server my main ends up on. Awesome, just awesome.

It's not gonna be included in the game. Too much work for the Devs to implement. http://booncontrol.com/threads/no-swimming-in-swtor.1212/ It's old article, I know, but it shows that water isn't even near the top of BW's list of priorities when it comes to adding on content.

I remember reading somewhere that some problem with the game's engine prevented Bioware from being able to even implement swimming in the game.... can't find it atm but it's somwhere on the forum. Anyways, untill Bioware decides to fix their coding problem's on their end, I wouldn't hold your breath for underwater content.

I do the same thing on my server, except on the fleet. No one's around to hear, so the effect is about the same.

I sense an expansion pack in the Force....

Yes, that and GW2.

That makes you wonder about all the ways they are counting their "active" subscribers. Are they counting ALL accounts with active, paying subscriptions? Or maybe just those with game time left on their account, irrespective of whether or not they are still subscribed? TBH, I think that its the latter, and that those '1.3 million' they released last time were much lower than they let on. One can only imagine at the number of actively paying subscribers NOW...

All the people jumping from the TERAtanic, after finding out their TERAbbile game is just another Korean grindfest.

I would love it if we had a nonorganic race to play. Something along the lines of a humanoid looking droid or something. Of course, that would be pretty impossible to implement with any of the ingame classes storylines (romance with a C3-PO look alike lol?) but it WOULD be interesting.

EVE online disagrees with you.

Ranked WZs aren't coming out anytime soon. Not for 1.3 anyways. Devs have said it will NOT be a major content patch, so we can at the very soonest expect it to come in 1.4, although nothing much has been said about that yet... As for the companion, the devs have been rather quiet lately on whether or not he'll be in 1.3. Personally, I doubt he'll be included, but if he is, it's not all that big a deal for me. Honestly, companions in this game are for A) Leveling solo (which doesn't take all that long tbh) or, at max level, B) looking cool while in the fleet looking for ops groups and/or pvp queues to pop. So, it really isn't high on my want-list for 1.3.

Do we get a war bear mount if we kill the other faction's leader? Yes, no, maybe????

Soon™

Wait. Orbital strikes.... in space..... *mind explodes*

Instead of all that, how about: 3D SPACE COMBATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!

Really? That's a honest shame :/ I feel there is such a huge amount of potential with the whole companion system honestly, and to see it being wasted like this makes me kind of sad. It's not like other games don't have AI 'pets" like our companions in WZs/BGs w/e, so it all seems like a huge dissappointment to me.....

The question I'm asking here is: Why not add them in? So far as the game is concerned, very little sets SWTORs pvp apart from other similar mmos when it comes to instanced pvp battles. For the most part, it's a plain, tedious button mashing affair of pushing XYZ buttons again and again to stunlock, dps, heal spam, break stun, ect. over and over until you eventually get killed and get sent back to respawn. Maybe to some, this seems like a fine way to pass their time pvping in this game. However, SWOTR isn't like just any other games. We have COMPANIONS, you know, those guys we earn over our classes' questlines. And they're pretty useful for nearly everything when it comes to leveling up, and can even (temporarily) pass themsevles off in groups short a person for heroics if properly geared and of the right roll. However, when it comes to pvp, companions are near USELESS. Dueling with companions out doesn't count, world pvp is practically nonexistant (no incentives, HELLO BW), and of course, WZs won't let you take them in with you. What I'm saying is, why not allow us to take in companions into WZs and fight with us? Balance issues? Well, BW has done an ok job with the current classes, I imagine it wouldn't be much harder to balance the much simpler companions players can field (no talents, a single tool bar of abilites). Gear? They can equip the exact same things as we can. No new tiers of gear would have to be implemented just for companions (although I'm not suggesting to NOT make custom companion pvp gear >.>). And they would add so much more VARIETY to the game, too! Please BW, let's let us see more pvp love with our companions!

There are already lightsabers in the game with streaks of black in them (notably BM lightsabers for the sith), it probably wouldn't be too big a deal to include them in the game.

No, just lots of WZ and operation/FP grinding. If you can find anyone....

Tell you what, I'll believe that this is my Star Wars fantasy come to life when they decide to take the game literally into the 'Stars'. C'mon Bioware, shove all the stuff you're working on to the back end of the table and give us 3D space combat!!!! Rail shooters are no substitute!

More items to VIP vendors = Bioware has gone down the dark road to micro-transactions. Obviously, Bioware isn't going to just add free stuff that only a certain segment (VIP players) of the player base can actually get. So no, most, likely there won't be.
