Ehh I agree and disagree. Sure it's the writer/director/studio that is making whatever, so they are free to make it how they want. But to me continuation of IPs are done for the fans, so naturally fans are going to have expectations. Also, when they (being those in charge) go in the direction of putting out a movie or game and are focused on making money rather than making a good movie or game, then it suffers in the end. SWTOR's Cartel Market case-in-point in my opinion hehe . And seeing as how Disney already has the next trilogy in the works when we're not even done with this one, Disney seems to want to have Star Wars mimic MCU's unique success.

There are some things you just don't do in the world. One is you don't **** with Star Wars, and stemming from that, you don't **** with Star Wars fans. SOE learned this the hard way, EA learned this the hard way, and the new movies seem to partly be following suit.

It is a fun idea to think of, though I don't think they would ever do it. By nature of having out multiple companions it makes you more powerful, but I thought that in a hypothetical situation it could be somewhat balanced out as follows. A stacking debuff gets put on each additional companion you summon out. First companion - full strength Second companion - effectiveness (dps and healing in other words) decreased by 1/2............. or 25% decrease Third companion - effectiveness decreased by 1/2 again (1/4 of full strength)............................. 50% decrease Fourth companion - effectiveness decreased by 1/2 again (1/8 of full strength)........................... 75% decrease Kind of fun to think about because people can come up with different combinations. Tank/DPSx3, Tank/Heal/DPSx2, Healx4 (lol). Also kind of fun to think about because finally you would be a Commander and actually getting to manage troops in battle and feel like your character is actually making decisions instead of Lana do it all.

With a matching voiced emote to go with it........ "Some cool name"- you stand in a commanding authoritative pose and point to someone and then to the ground while Valkorian voice says "Kneel before ZOD! (or the Dragon of Zakuul!)", I'm good with either hehe.

Prepare for the return of the greatest movie series of all time! It premiers on SyFy on August 6 this weekend. Long live Fin Shepard!

Make it another HK-55 / ZOOM (Z0-OM) mission but you play as ZOOM this time, that would be fun. Of course you would probably need to have ZOOM in the first place which not everyone does, but BW could probably just make her someone you temporarily play as even if you don't have her.

BW's probable response: "Sorry, these items were incorrectly labeled as being part of this pack. To get these cool decorations you need to wait for a future cartel pack and spend more money."

Players wanted Manaan. Players got Manaan. Players disappointed with Manaan. Seems less like BW's fault and more like players' fault.

Give stealthers a new ability "Here Comes The BOOM!". Only usable while in stealth, only usable in pvp zone, 2 second cast, and a 5 minute cool down. When activated you pop out of stealth, strike a pose, and everyone in a 20 meter radius goes BOOM for 200k damage. MUAHAHAHAHA!! The Gravestone as a customizable player house/ship. When you're on it you can see your class ship in the hanger. Can unlock more rooms/levels on the Gravestone, etc. Pod racing. Can customize your own pod racer from tons of options that affect various stats, can change colors of of the pod. Each planet has their own unique track, of course planets like Korriban are only available to Imperials and same for Republic only planets. No "pod racer queue" like for PvP/flashpoints/etc, must be in the track area and talk to the race organizer to be put in the queue....... get up off your butts off Fleet and walk around, get some immersion going. Races get filled with NPCs after a certain point if not enough players to fill a queue. Monthly championship race held on a planet that rotates every month. Various power ups spawn during a race: lasers, missiles, shields, etc. Or you can purchase various pod racing abilities that correspond to your class and have a pod racing hotbar. Basically a kind of SWTOR style of Mario Kart.

Special Valkorian companion like HK-51 and Treek a possibility? Would be so cool!

Hey BW how about un-nerfing Force Storm a bit. It's so wimpy it can't even kill the wimpiest of NPCs without needing to cast it over 2 times.

Nuh-uh, the first Massively Multiplayer On-a-line game was red rover! And you know someone's a troll if you're playing SWTOR and see someone trying to start Gorn jokes. I mean come on, it's Jawa jokes, get the game right.

Great that you're still reading the thread. But kind of problematic because you guys rarely are ready to "discuss" anything until you've chosen a course of action. Which isn't really a discussion at that point but more telling us what's going to happen.... then the forums explode and then it's re-evaluating that course of action. It would still be nice to hear any sort of internal discussions you're having. NOT if you're leaning towards any side/course of action, but is there like a pro/con list or something, are you looking into guild/personal assets issues? I have been an advocate of server merges for a long time time, or rather mega servers as I kind of distinguish between the two. Mega servers being new servers created rather than simply merging servers 1 and 2 onto server 3. At least that way then if the whole names issue can't be solved at least it will be like it is now, the first person that gets it gets it. But I'm not an advocate because of queue times, as someone that doesn't play much that makes little difference to me. It's mainly practicality for me. If I'm remembering correctly in the beginning there were X amount of servers with a Y population cap per server so everything was always full. Then BW created more servers (~120 US in total) and increased pop cap to something like 2000. Then eventually servers were merged because it was impractical to have that many servers for the amount of people playing. Today I think we face a similar situation. With the amount of people playing it's just not practical to have 8 US servers when 3 would suffice (yes one for the unofficial RP server). I mean what's a servers limit today, at least 2000? Aside from Harbinger how many servers get close to half that on the best of days. On a side note I always wish people would stop using how many people are on Fleet as an indication of how "dead" or not a server is. If you're comparing Fleet population great, go for it. But if you're trying to reference the population of the server (or faction) at least multiply that number by 2-4 to account for every other zone that exists besides just Fleet (and add 1 for that one person doing space missions ), and then double that number because there is another faction.

They could change it so instead of just ignoring the character it ignores the account the character is on and increase the cap a bit, 100 maybe.

Guaranteed platinum in every pack would feel rewarding, I guarantee it.

Think that actually happened many many pages ago.

Actually I thought the E3 showing of Anthem was pretty cool. All though I was getting a sort of Destiny 2 vibe from it.

Just give all heal classes/specs the same passives/abilities, and the same for all tank and dps classes/specs (different animations of course). Balance solved, everyone is great or sucks together.

I sometimes think harassment is crossing the line of griefing and trolling. So sometimes I think you have to accept a certain degree of griefing and trolling because it's part of the MMO experience, like a flock of birds crapping on your car and somehow missing every other car around you is a part of life; **** just happens, and sometimes it actually does fall from the sky. Sometimes the Jawa jokes just happen in General Chat.

So I been hearing that Ebon Hawk has a low population and should be merged........ Casi with how often you've been saying the opposite I'm surprised it isn't in your sig by now hehe. What I'm not really understanding is the opposition to merge all 3 RP servers into one RP server (if there is any). There is of course Begeren Colony being the only one that is West Coast, but even if that was merged to an East Coast it should hardly affect play-ability. Seems the RP community would only benefit from it. And speaking of the RP community, something I've always wondered is on these RP servers how much role-playing actually goes on when looking at the entire servers population (GARPing, game action role-playing, yes I just made it up). My experience on Jung Ma back in the early days of the game was after playing on the server for one year the amount of RP'ing that I saw in the world was minimal at best.

Go back to the way classes originally were when the game released, that would be what I would change. Or instead of trying to balance classes from both ends (some go up, some go down, and they try and fail to meet somewhere in the middle) just balance from one end (from the top and bring all the rest up, or the bottom and bring all the rest down). But class balance is an impossible task so just make sure Sorcs come out on top.

Speaking of Arcann can we get a customization for him that gives him his cybernetic arm and face mask? And if you want a new male force user companion, Duke Airjogger is waiting to be born..... Also wouldn't mind Valkorian as a companion with unique moves like HK-51/Treek, and Darth Marr too. Could be a small mission to get them like you sense them through the force (or are told about it if you aren't a force dude) and find a way to "anchor" them more with some sort of ancient artifact; but they're still ghostly like.

OK I got some great ideas, here we go. Of course it should be said that BioWare needs to put systems in place so nothing is lost on migrations and somehow dealing with the whole name thing; like "origin" names, Blooper-Harbinger and Blooper-Shadowlands. Mega servers, yes! BioWare should rename all current servers to things like "crapper zapper" and "the porcelain throne" and give players the choice, stay on the porcelain throne or join the mega server. Me, I would not stay on the porcelain throne, have to get off it at some point..... bazinga! Now that that one is out of the way. Multiple waves of Mega Servers. First wave is for RPers, they get their new mega server "Please Don't Grief Us". Second wave is for an East/West coast Mega server. BioWare sets something up on the forum where in the account settings there's a "Mega Server Migration" tab and checking "yes-East" or "yes-West" will automatically migrate all your characters there when the Megas are created, or be able to choose which ones you want to migrate. Third and final wave is to consolidate the remaining people on current servers to the new and potentially less populated mega server "We Don't Like Playing With Other People". The RPers should be happy that they still have their own server. The people that like the idea of mega servers in general and those that want better que times should be happy because of increased server population. And the people that like logging in and seeing the planets they're on as ghost towns are happy because nothing really changed for them. Cross server ques are like putting a band aid on a cut that needs stitches in my opinion so I'm not an advocate of it. But of course what's most likely going to happen is nothing will happen and we'll get more Cartel Market stuff to temporarily placate the masses, that's about par for the course right?

I want Ashara back also. But bring her back as Dark Side or Light Side in the mission to get her; that would be awesome.

I'll get it for XBone. But in the words of a dead guy in a galaxy far far away.... "Where are those droidekas??!!"
