I would like to see more of this after lvl 50. Seems once you hit max affection with a companion then they ignore you for the rest of the time. I feel like after Sex Mako doesnt want me any more

I really like this idea. I think we should support it for future updates. This will keep the game interesting and stop a lot of us from getting burned out.

I am seeing all kinds of combos that can be done with this now that I am in game thinking about it.

I like this idea a lot. I think a huge amount of the population would enjoy this ability.

So Like I was saying Trying to lvl up or do dailies without a certain companion becomes very frustrating in the sense that you have a high chance of failing.

I love your idea of picking a role for your companion. But to argue your point on breaking the game. When the companion goes from healing to dps then they will get the dps abilities and have to use the weapon that goes with those abilities. Like lets say I take Mako and want her go ranged DPS, well she can get Gault's abilities (they both use cunning) and she has to use a ranged weapon to be effective.

So I have been playing again for a little bit (love the lvling exp with the companions) and I am running into a problem. I can't use what companions I like, I have to use what is best for lvling. So here is my solution. Allow us to chose the companion's roles. Not only that, but we can gear them as needed for their role. I love having Lt Pierce around but my Juggernaut is a tank so there is no reason for me to play with him. Sometimes I need a healer but I would rather have Vette healing me. I think the only thing that needs to change is what weapon we give them. Also I would like to see assault cannons given to Imp companions at least. I know for a while Rebs couldn't get sniper rifles but with HK-57 they have access now. Also not all companions need to fill all roles. To my knowledge there isn't a tank with the Cunning (other than imp sniper) attribute, so Mako is prob not gonna be tanking any time soon.

Ok so I am more of a solo gamer when it comes to SWTOR. I love the story line and I love the diffrent choices my char can make. Something came to mind though, was how about a reset button for our chars. To start at lvl 1 but keeping certain abilities and maybe a companion or two. But instead of doing our own story line again, we can choose to do another. As players we can take this so much further in a role play sense. Like my Sith war turned to the lightside because of his love to Vett. Or my Commando's lust for battle blah blah blah... you know where I am going with this. I think this can go far and would make SWTOR the first MMO in this area.

Now I know this might sound strange, but my buddy and I have multiple 50s, and we switch between them (for crafting, dailies, and pvp) and we have to spam the mail system to get items to our alts. He came up with the bright idea of having a Legacy bank/ship with all our companions there. I am pretty sure there are a lot more ideas out there for it and I heard rumors of a guild ship.

will we be able to give our companions the ability to "Unify Colors" or "Hide Helm". I think these do wonders for game play with my char but I think the community would like to see it extended to our companions.

Thanks, this makes sense now. The prices dont but the rest does

Really guys, no feed back from the players on this? Is it because you guys dont mess with this gear or because u disagree with my post?

OK what is up with this gear. I dont understand the price or the ability to only give it to one class. My buddy bought a couple of peices and says he just got it for looks, but he spent close to 1mil credits for "Looks". From what I understand you can't give this to any other class (even though it's bound to your legacy). If I wanted to buy something with my IA then I would send him the money to do it.

FTW! I love this post!

Hey just wanted to say I think we sould have an option to turn of their helm appearance, just like we have the option to turn ours off. I think this will help with the cust kits we got for them and we can see facial expressions when in conversations with them.
