They're OK. I appreciate the variety of species and storylines, for sure. I wish they would speak Basic, and I wish even more that when they were interacting with my characters, I got to hear my characters' voices and see their facial expressions. "Classic conversations" are one of the worst things to happen to this game. Overall I am happy with the mix. However, it would be even better if the "kill X enemies" / "do X missions" objectives were focused on planets with hard-to-grind achievements, like Rishi (for missions) or Iokath (for kills). Sometimes they are, but some weeks I'm trying to find a planet where I can make progress on both seasons and remaining achievements at once, and I cannot. See also my answer below about fitting into a desired play session. Get to level 100, yes. Finish 100 weeklies, no. Finish the reputation track, I could if I were diligent, but it's too easy to forget. Basically, the time-limited achievements for pushing yourself very hard, are frustrating. Maybe you could change them to be cumulative, e.g., after I've done 100 GS weeklies (across all seasons) I get the season 1 title; 200 I get the season 2 title; etc. When I'm playing SWTOR, my favorite activities are operations and advancing the single-player stories. These rarely fit in with Seasons. When there's a "play 15 missions as (some origin story)" objective for classes I haven't yet driven all the way to the end, I'm very excited. I just got to take my Bounty Hunter through the first part of Makeb last week which was great. However, to be honest, without Seasons I would probably be prioritizing other games,over SWTOR operations and single-player stories. So, good job on the player retention mechanism :)

Items in loadouts can sometimes go into your storage (either personal or legacy). I'm not sure exactly how to trigger this but I suspect it's meant to be a feature.

For me he always says the base is at maximum comfort. It's as if the weekly was already completed. I suspect they forgot to add his weekly to the list of rotating weeklies, or something, so now it's never available.

I apologize, I misspoke. I meant to say "my character's last name is supposed to be capitalized".

This is a very long-standing bug, but there's been so much progress lately on fixing annoying minor issues that I thought it would be worth trying to report it and see what happens! The bug is very simple. My character's name is "Selene Eris" (with a space). When I write a chat message, it says something like [Guild] [selene eris]: Some message That is, the uppercase in my "last name" (Eris) got lost. This makes me sad because last names are supposed to be capitalized, and I entered it capitalized on the character creation screen, and I wish the game would respect that.

See e.g. the comparison between me (Draakas) and top lightning DPS (Zabrakin): http://parsely.io/parser/compare/182214/0/184759/0/0 I have a few things to work on, but the main thing that stands out is that in Zabrakin's parse he has 48 Chain Lightning uses, and I have 24. I assume he's not using it without the proc so what is going on here? I saw the same thing in another top parse. Other tips on improving my parse appreciated; it seems like I am just leaving 1K DPS on the floor somehow... here's my best parse comparison so far, with a messed-up opener but otherwise OK: http://parsely.io/parser/view/184774

I love this mask: http://swtorista.com/outfit?id=150 https://imgur.com/a/jMi9P But I am very sad about the blue forehead-pimple LED. It's pretty bizarre for my Jedi to be running around with a freakin' LED between her eyes. I'd pay a pretty high amount of cartel coins for a version without the LED!
