I wasn't going for Adam Driver, but I'm a fan of his so I'm not complaining! lol Sorry to hear Luna isn't playing these days, thanks for passing it along!

Long time no talk, hope everyone is keeping well and looking forward to the expansion! Recently finished some new Quinn Fan Art I thought y'all might share my enthusiasm for. https://www.deviantart.com/imperial-patriot/art/The-Call-905410933

From the Contest Page: So should be any day now if they hold to that.

10 years into the game, and honestly this has been a gripe of mine since day one! A lot of forums don’t like to deal with image posting directly because it can be abused, but gosh it would make a lot of conversations more fun and useful. Also, loving all the new posts coming through! Glad so many were just as excited. I want to go through and pick out some faves again when I get the time to sit down and format the post.

I love the concept and outreach, also, these are great art resources for fan art as well! I hope to see many more of our favorite characters get added. <3

I have never even tried to farm Cantina crate, but I can say for certain that I never had a black/black drop either. But I don’t start new characters to harvest the materials, so that’s a sample size of around 25 total.

I try to avoid being negative on the forums, but this logic is very anti-consumer. All the other games I play are able to give a pretty solid estimate of when they will release the product they are hoping you will purchase. We are seemingly less than 3 months out, they should have a solid enough understanding of their own pace to help users manage their expectations. It is kinda an issue if they can’t accommodate that reasonable expectation. Honestly I don’t play any other game that doesn’t give clear dates, especially for major releases.

Not sure when you were trying to get it last, but personally I had one drop less than a year ago; however, my experience was never that the drop was common. IIRC Nathema Conspiracy (and all of the FP in that shared area) you get one drop per boss kill with an equal chance to be any of the possible items.

One of us, one of us! Man, the feeling of exploring Makeb for the first time was really something else... Also, I'm in awe that you can actually see some of the surface drilling going on in the distance here! What a great location to really distill down the heart of Makeb and the story behind it. I love the layers and depth you have going on here (and with your Tatooine shot!) really conveys the lofty feeling of being perched up among the clouds. I completely feel you on trying to find the right buildings to anchor a shot! I was pleased to find that even though it looks like a bunch of spikes from a distance, when you stop and really pay attention there is a lot of interesting shapes and variety woven in. I appreciate the color palette here, different from the usual which really helps it really stick with you. Also those statues with the lights give it such a nice structure, you've got the classic blue highlights, and you managed to work in some of the greenery! Feels very inspired, and well thought out, I love it. Oooh this is a fun one! I think I got some shots at the end of this alleyway (I was drawn in by all the stringlights) but I missed this lovely spot. The signs pop so well against the dark buildings, and you have such a perfect variety of shapes and colors here. I'm especially digging the green. Never apologize for good content. Both your shots and descriptions were really enjoyable to see, thank you for sharing. EDIT: And thank you so much for the feedback Sarova! This thread has been so much fun.

Alright, I’m all in too then! For reference the way I take screenshots is… not particularly efficient, but I like the results. I would typically go into an area and snap a shot of anything and everything that caught my eye. Then I would go back and weed out photos that just didn’t work for me, then I pretty much always ended up having to revisit the planet to get a better shot of whatever images I liked from the previous batch before. Rinse, repeat. It’s a time consuming refining process, but a labor of love! One of my favorite parts of this game is the universe so I was happy to have an excuse to roam around soaking it in. My submissions: Hutta: I’m a sucker for some good foliage. I ended up falling in love with the snaking path the trees formed from this angle, the hutt palace (I believe Nemro’s for this shot) and rainbow at the end sealed the deal. Korriban: Taken from inside the Korriban Incursion FP. Aside from the slightly more dynamic color palette, I also thought this would be a fun twist on the popular choice of the statues near the new arrivals ship pad. Waiting for the ships at the bottom to be in a good position and shots and ships to stop firing by took a while! Ord Mantell: I knew I wanted the purple flowers to make an appearance in whatever my final submission ended up being, but I didn’t expect to find a nice spot that captured three different flora from the planet! This grumpy red guy was also a fun find. At first I was concerned because he was facing away from the camera at the angle I wanted, but lucky me, his animation made him turn back to face me from time to time. Tython: So many beautiful waterfalls and trees, I really hated leaving some shots on the drawing room floor. At the end of the day I felt the autumnal day trees and Jedi history were really what defined Tython for me. What I liked most about this shot was the parallel between the statue and the trees, making them feel connected, seemed appropriate for the Jedi home planet. Tatooine: This view is also courtesy of the balloon ferry. Twin suns, endless sands, and a Sandcrawler just felt right. Makeb: I got probably over a hundred shots of this Gazebo trying to get the angle just right. I wanted to balance the lighting from behind, the amount of statue visible, and those lovely pink trees. At the same time, I wanted to make sure some of those distinctive Makeb plateaus made an appearance. Yavin 4: This one is a double edged sword, I know the general spot is popular but there was a lot of effort put into the timing and composition, and frankly, it’s a great spot! The rainbow fades in and out, there is an NPC that spawns that needs to be removed from time to time, and the yellow flying creatures are always on the move. In the final shot I waited patiently to get the yellow guys top left to help pull some of the color from the Rainbow over. Zakuul: This one I was the least satisfied with, not because I don’t love the shot, but because as mentioned before, there are so many different ways one could take Zakuul. I decided to prioritize the strong geometric buildings and imposing structures since that’s what kept popping into my head first when I thought of the planet. I felt the blue lights on the ship added a nice layer and “pop” to the image, so made sure to get that big guy in frame. Ossus: I liked that this angle captured so many of the defining aspects of Ossus for me. Orange sand, black rock, ancient Jedi ruins, and bonus water under the fountain. Proper distance and regular clear outs of NPCs was required to get the shot nice and clean while I waited for the right alignment of the planetary projections. Mek-Sha: I finally settled on this one because I felt it had the right balance of the aspects I loved most about the planet. The colorful signs, those amazing string lights, and the height of the buildings. I also was really drawn to how the red of the canopy broke up the shot and helped add some structure and perspective. Absolutely love this one! The strong presence of the buildings and the expanse of the swamp and trees is stunning. The way it captures the hazy fade is the sun is a perfect compliment to the setting. Good angle of this building! I considered trying to capture it for my final submission as well but couldn’t decide how to approach it. I feel like this area really captures the color palette of Zakuul that associate with it the most. This is a fantastic angle, really helps show off how imposing and oppressive the figures are meant to be. Haven’t seen any from this angle yet either, so good eye! I appreciate how you managed to center the balloon! I think people tend to underestimate how hard that can be, it was something I kept running into trouble with myself. I also love the balloon shadow shot as well, there is something really fun about the hint of the iconic shape without actually having it in frame. Makeb really does have the best clouds. <3 I like the gentle haze on this one too, it manages to make it feel soft and atmospheric, but you didn’t lose any of the definition on the architecture. I think this is my favorite shot of yours. It captures the scale of the building as well as the trees, and you packed in so many little details in a single shot! The red accents also draw the eye without being distracting or out of place. I also thought that on my balloon journey, but I think we were both right in our thought! We may not have been the only one to think of it, but I bet it weeded out a lot of people to at least make it less common.

I would love an alternative option, but uh, I’m down to group up with some of you lovely people to try and farm WBs too.

From the official rules: “In the event that several people submit the same, or very similar, Entries, the Entry submitted first will be selected as the winner.” For my final selection I tried to take into consideration what others might submit to help my entry better stand out.

I think you and I have a similar eye for screenshots Sarova! I noticed a few familiar locations from your shots. Although I shouldn't be surprised, I already knew you had good taste in romance options. I'll start with some "runner-up" screenshots that didn't quite make the cut for my final submissions. I'm probably down to share my actual submissions too (since deadline to submit has passed), but I figured I'd hold off just a bit longer and see what the general consensus is first. Hutta: Korriban: Makeb: Mek-Sha: Ord Mantell: Ossus: Tatooine: Tython: Yavin 4: Zakuul: I'm always so happy to see y'all interacting on the forums with us! Glad you're enjoying the submissions, I really loved the contest idea and promoting community involvement. Thank y'all for all you do. <3

Have you checked your email? To answer the question in the first post, I did not have any issues myself. To troubleshoot the email or any other paper trail would be my first go to, but you should probably go ahead and reach out to customer service.

I’m so excited to see all the entries now! May the Force be with all of us who entered. The winners announcement can’t come soon enough!
