Without a doubt, let the tokens be exchanged for unassembled components. Pvp and gsf with a few from ops shouldn't be the only way to collect them. The system isn't perfect, but players who put in the time should have access to high end gear.... Thanks

So the question I have now is should we wait to grind cxp up to 300 until the better drop rates are implemented or plan on hitting 300 asap and bankrolling cxp for the t4 introduction?

Well, I finally caved yesterday and got Jaesa back from the terminal. I used the hundreds of gifts I had saved over the time she was gone and immediately got her up to rank 50. I then spent too many credits to outfit and get her back into shape. I'm really glad I did. Looking forward to rerunning the chapters with her. Just hope the day doesn't come where a bug or two ruin her reentry into the storyline.... Cheers

Dark Jaesa is by far the best...... I haven't gotten her back from terminal because I don't want to risk screwing up her story if they ever bring her back. Has anyone gotten her back from the terminal? Is her story locked if you do?

Not to keep beating a dead horse, but when I go to terminal, it says any attempt to retrieve old companion will affect future stories with them. Is it confirmed that getting old companions back this way DOESN'T do what it says it will do? Thanks

I was under the impression that when using the terminal that a warning box popped up about how future decisions would be affected by taking the companions back. If that's not the case, then my post isn't relevant to the situation. Your concern with bugs is well founded! Thanks

I don't post alot, but have seen quite a few threads regarding old companions. Since no one really knows when (or if) we are going to get our old companions back with a romance-able storyline, couldn't the developers simply let us get them back from the terminal, let us level them up to 50, without taking away their possible future storylines from us? It seems like that would address some of the players' issues and be a simple fix for the devs.... Just my 2 cents.

I see the recent patch notes include the following: "Players can now use the Companion Locator Terminal in the Alliance Base Camp to regain Companions which became unavailable due to The Fallen Empire storyline. You must complete Chapter XVI before this option is available. Note that the terminal does not allow you to regain Companions which were guests (such as Darth Marr)." Does that mean we need to use the terminal to get companions like Jaesa back or are they still planning on continuing their storylines in the new expansion?
