Happy to see social clothes being added in. I agree with another poster that I'd love to see it expanded in a future update to allow for more color changing and personalization options but I'm still happy to see that this feature is being included. Considering everyone ignores the LFG system now and just spams chat I'm not as excited about the new system since I'm not confident people will utilize it, but if they do it sounds like it will be effective.

It's hard to do that because all of your abilities would have to change back-and-forth. I remember reading about this on game tester forums and apparently it was experimented with and scrapped and was stated above. I would pick the class based on the abilities you like, then just make ls/ds choices from there to flesh out the personality you want your toon to have

This whole thread just begs for a good trolling lmao

Do you know of any MMO's in which the developer has actually stepped in and name-locked as you call it? I've heard of them removing names due to copyright problems (CoH comes to mind), but I've never heard of them removing names because of any of the reasons you're listing. It's doubtful Bioware will step in. I know you see this as an unfair advantage, but early access was meant to be just that. Bioware said up-front the earliest pre-orders would get into the game first, and that would obviously mean name rights as well.

Planet Commendations but you can live without that gear

You might see it pop up in an expansion but they're not gonna patch in a new game system

They are opening new servers in response but they're still using this time to stress test so if they do lock servers or something like that they probably wouldn't do it until after launch

Is there no limit on how many toons you can roll? That's awesome if that's the case. As for the name part I don't know what you want Bioware to do. With or without early access there are always "name ******" as it was put above who will scoop up the popular ones as quick as they can
