I can't believe after all this time, they still haven't implemented this. Especially considering the fact that they do allow this in the quests later on when you have multiple companions in the flashpoints/story quests. They've got the mechanics down pat. It would make the class storylines better because you would have two conversation inputs ( I say something, Khem says something, Xalek adds something too). I'm a healer but when I'm doing heroics or soloing flash points I would love to have a healing companion topping up my health after a battle so i don't have to waste energy healing myself or stop and recuperate, but then also a dps to make the farming go faster. swtor could adjust the difficulty level in case the game is "too easy" for the devs to sleep at night. Aesthetically I've already mentioned the benefits in my original post but the combinations you could have are almost endless. As the leader of the galactic alliance it would make sense to have a Sith and Jedi body guard. Or a republic and imperial trooper. Traditionally; Having 2 companions would be a nod to KOTOR 1 and 2. I can't see why this idea hasn't been green lit.

Doing crappy things to people isn't the only way to grow strong in the dark side of the force. You channel it like you would any other current of power. There are sith hermits and force witches who live in isolation for years, studying the dark side of the force and growing strong from drawing on it's power. When I clicked the choose dark side icon next to the mini map and went into battle, I was channelling the dark side with every enemy I defeated. I was using lightning and dark side abilities which would strengthen my connection with the dark side. Has this decision really improved your game play? Has it made you happy? or are you just getting off on our upset so many players are at the moment? You think all these people un subbing is going to have good outcomes for this game's future?

It's limiting . Storyline wise there are many Sith who use the darkside of the force who aren't heartless lunatics. You might be fine mate but the rest of us who prefer to take a more balanced approach to our gameplay have just been bent over and screwed by this update.

Changes to the Dark vs Light System: Dark and Light Side points can only be earned through conversation choices and Diplomacy Crew Skills Missions. Please reconsider this change. I love the dark side of the force. Being a Sith healer is the only class I enjoy playing and at first I was over joyed that I could now play through the Jedi and Sith warrior story lines using the Sith healer build but in the true SWTOR style you give with one hand and take away with another. I don't like making dark side decisions often enough to gain access to the dark side powers. Why did you remove the ability to channel the darkside/lightside by clicking the icon next to the mini map? I'm not a sadist or psychopath so I don't want to break my character's storyline by making dark side decisions when that's not who my characters are. They are good people who channel the darkside because that is the side of the force that speaks to them. I don't want to use the diplomacy crew skill. It's like every time I sub to this game you just chip away at my morale unto I unsub . It's like you hate seeing your players having a good time so you find new ways to punish us. Being able to gain dark side points by clicking the icon then doing what I would usually do in game was a stress free way of farming dark side points without compromising my character. I don't know what to do. should I make a ticket asking for a refund on my sub, I resubbed on the 1st of this month so I'm 2 days over the refund period. I'm guessing you're not going to change this aspect of the game just because I asked you to. I feel grief. All i want is to play a starwars mmo that isn't going to punish me. I'm a founder , I started subbing when this game first started. I always get demoralised by your out of touch decisions to the point that I take a couple of years off, comeback, get screwed over and then unsub again.

I hope they give us the option to rebuild the alliance again. I loved the coalition. bad writing

I've been loving the fallen empire story arc. I love Zakuul: I love the culture, the people, the planet, the technology, the knights, everything and seriously hope that i will eventually become the new emperor of the eternal empire. I would love it if you created 2 new factions. The 1st faction being: Zakuul. Storyline wise you could begin the story arc on zakuul before Valkorians death where the player is training to become either a knight, seer, trooper or <insert 4th class here>. The second faction would be: The Order of Revan. If i was magically transported into the star wars galaxy then i would be a revanite. Revan is the Jesus of the swtor world and he has been there since the beginning. I wasn't happy with Revan's portrayal in swtor as i think he should never of been unmasked and i feel like his popularity has suffered greatly because of how much was revealed about him in the shadow of revan storyline. Those of us who played KOTOR 2 remember the way Kreia spoke about him. He was highly intelligent and charismatic. To stare at him was like staring directly into the living force. He was neither good nor wicked but a balance of both. He was both jedi and sith. Those who met him fell in love with him and many followed him into great wars. The more factions the merrier i say as not everyone is comfortable with serving the empire or the republic. There are so many different factions in the star wars world so why not celebrate this fact in swtor. Who wants to serve the hutts? who wants to work for czerka corporation? or the exchange? Who wants to pe a peacekeeper of the galactic empire and to keep the coalition of the empire and republic in a state of perpetual peace? Who wants to become a master of teras kasi or a knight of ren? What faction would you join?

She is a master of the dark side of the force. She channels her anger and it gives her strength. Not all sith are psychopaths. She loves the dark side of the force but she is also incredibly intelligent and patient. Rather than rushing into her training she would of taken her time learning as much as possible about the force (much like the jedi do). Many sith rush their training ( trying to accumulate as much power as quickly as possible without fully understanding the force.) By rushing their training the dark side ravages their bodies and poisons their minds. Lana has sulphur coloured eyes because the darkside has made her powerful but she hasn't allowed it to twist her body or mind. The dark side of the force isn't inherently evil.

Please unbind the Rakata stronghold decorations you can purchase from the vendor on the fleet. Guilds can't use these decorations because they are "bound to legacy". Or at least give us the option to "purchase for guild" in the decorations window. Infact why not let us "purchase for guild" every stronghold deco we have ever unlocked? I know some decorations are exclusive sub rewards so it's fine to exclude them but many of the event reward decorations are "bind on pickup" and don't give you the option to "purchase for guild"

Please unbind the stronghold decorations so we can donate decorations to our guild ships/HQ. I understand that some items are exclusive for sub promotional reasons and that's fine but many other stronghold decorations ( certain event rewards ie: Gree etc) are bound to legacy. Even some of the zakuul decos can't be re-purchased for the guild for some reason despite the fact they come from cartel packs. I personally am obsessed with Rakata technology and was dismayed that i can't place any of the Rakata items purchased from the data crystal vendor on fleet in my guild ship or guild hq What decorations would you like to see unbinded so that you can add them to your guild ship/ HQ?

Can we have two companions instead of just one? The reason i ask is as a member of the dark council i would like to be flanked by both my apprentices when i enter a room. Or maybe i want to show off both my Hk-Assassin droids at the same time. Or maybe i want both Theran and Lana fighting by my side. Or imagine being flanked by Khem Val and the other dashade! No one would mess with me then! In the KOTOR games we were given two companions and it looked awesome having two bodyguards watching our back. If you could pick any two companions who would they be?

On the fleet; there is a vendor that exchanges data crystals for Rakata related stronghold decorations. I love Rakata technology and was super excited because i always wanted to deck my guild flagship out with Rakata consoles, generators and computer screens. Unfortunately the items are "Bound to legacy" which means you can't donate the items to the guild using the guild bank nor are you given the option to purchase the items for your guild in the decorations window. Can you please unbind these items so we can swag out our flagships with ancient rakata technology? or at least give us the option to purchase the items for the guild in the decorations window? I've also noticed this with lots of other stronghold decorations like some of the Gree tech rewards.

I've unlocked every room in my stronghold and still have an abundant supply of hooks available to place items and personnel. Unfortunately i can't place any more decorations or personnel because "computer says NO"... Why would a rule like this be put in place? Will the game crash if we place too many items in our stronghold? The Yavin temple stronghold is massive and it has a great open area for one to build an army yet because someone decided to limit the amount of npc's i can place; my dream of a full military parade has become unattainable. I'm sure some people would love to be able to create bustling marketplaces or packed cantinas yet we are not allowed to because?

Allowing us the "purchase for guild" option in the decorations window would still prevent the items being sold on the gtn. To be honest it would strengthen the galaxy's economy if they could be sold on the gtn anyway (it would be a great way to make money from the data crystals you earn.
