Yes, me too! I agree! /signed I had given up hope of ever getting a gilded flutterplume before, now there is a tiny spark of hope! (Assuming anyone important reads this and agrees). Hey Dev's, please make these pets available, and... Gimme my Polly parrot! and monkey-lizard, and more...

Kick It Up a notch!! Literally. Imagine: Armed thugs come in to wreck the place and to attack the gamblers! The thugs may even be Gamorrean guards, like the companion you can win. This could even be a mission from the hutt or other characters to defend the casino for rewards. After defeating enemies, get loot from them to include casino chips and credits stolen from others. For those of us that get bored with hours of endless slot playing, this would be a great diversion and way to take out frustrations if not winning. If some players don't want to participate they don't have to. Don't pick up the mission, or have the fight scene in a certain area, or thugs only attack players that attack them first? Could also have overheated casino droids (maybe astromech serving droids gone bad or crazy hospitality droids) to destroy, which award chips or golden certificates. Another reward idea: cartel market certificates (hard to come by now) or dancing Twi'leks and decorations (from CM certificate vender). Just a thought. Also, to improve the event as it is now, just make the prizes you win, sellable on GTN, and not bound. Really. But most of all, I would really like a more exciting mission, like fighting casino thugs or exploding droids, to pass the time in the casino. ~ Thanks for reading!

I love cats! And so does my dog! One of our cats is like her puppy. They are so cute together. I like cats so much that I have lots of Cathar characters in game, & vorn tiger mounts, cat pets, & the tiger companion that I call Krackerjack. ~ Congrats on your new kittens!

New Theron Theory.... Theron starts Valkorion's revenge!! Flashback to Valkorion's last words... "Remember me... when your Alliance burns to ash!" Flashforward to Theron Shan's betrayal... "Ever since you defeated Valkorion, everything I've done has been towards one goal... the total destruction of the Eternal Alliance!" *Gasp!* This sounds like Valkorion's revenge! Is the Emperor really gone for good this time? Did the Eternal Emperor have a back-up plan if he could not control the Outlander - was it Theron? Theron's betrayal is hard to understand for Light Side Commanders. Is Theron being controlled or influenced by Valkorion's ghost? Theron may just be sneaking in as a spy as others have suggested, but why not tell his beloved Commander? If Theron is really tired of war, then why send intel to all groups to start a war? He could have become a pawn of the evil defeated emperor ghost in a plot for revenge! Who is leading the mysterious "Order" anyway? Could it possibly be Valkorion? Remember, Valkorion liked starting wars and pitting people against each other, so he would have enjoyed starting the Iokath war between the Alliance, Empire, and Republic. Regardless, it seems Valkorion planned something to bring down the Alliance or foresaw it in his last moments. The emperor has cheated death before, and perhaps, it would be wise to remember him... before its too late! Just a thought! We'll see.

Loved it!

Soooooo disappointing the double CXP event is over. I had really, really hoped they would give us at least another day to make up for the unexpected day of repairs they took from us for this event. Oh well, I was in the middle of another mission, but when the double XP ended, so did I. Feel like they looted my mission rewards before I could get them now. Oh well, guess the game is so much like real life, cause devs make it not fair. It they wanted to be fair, they'd give us another day of double c/xp. If they really wanted happy subscribers, they'd extend the event much longer, keep the extra CXP on the missions, and give everyone the same CC and pets which they temporarily dangled on the forum the day the game broke, but the codes didn't work for most people, if they even knew about it to try it. Gosh, I thought I'd gotten over that, but.. Oh well. It's not fair, and it's not fair to end the event after we lost a day to their repairs for an unscheduled update to kill the game. Now, I am going to take a little break from the game - no, not leaving, so no one can have my stuff, and enjoy my real life pets and people. Also, looking forward to the new Star Trek series on CBS, and the new Star Wars The Last Jedi movie coming soon. I hope this game has some new story coming soon, and more double c/xp, asap. We'll see.

I like my friend's ideas. Extend XP event for all, and give subscribers the rare pet Taun Fawn, which looks like a little baby dalmation taun taun, but was not released publicly... why not? Anyway, if this coveted pet and its code are only ever reserved for random fast grabs from a few forum users, I have another idea... Pet SUGGESTION: Lots of pets and mounts are reskinned in different colors, so just use the Taun Fawn model and make the spots light blue-gray, like raindrops, and call it the Raindrop Fawn or Rained-on Fawn, or Rainstorm Fawn or something like that. Then you maintain the ridiculous rarity of the original Taun Fawn, and we subscribers are happy to get a new taun taun pet that looks similar to the original spotted taun taun. Just a thought, and I really like it. But if you don't want to give a Taun Fawn or Raindrop Fawn to subscribers, then make it available on cartel market for everyone to purchase and unlock. Just another thought. Thanks for reading and considering.

Hey, here's the link to the video, in case anyone wants to see it again. The big blue fish is at 0:23 seconds. http://www.swtor.com/info/media/trailers/star-wars-old-republic-manaan-retreat-stronghold-trailer I will also add this link to the original post. Thanks.

/signed Yes, I agree with all. And the underwater glass tunnel would be a better way to observe the ocean life, assuming the walls are all glass and not the tiny portholes we currently have. Here's a link to a real underwater aquarium wall to help inspire the devs. Just think, the line of happy kids watching fish could be us players watching sharks and fish go by! http://audubonnatureinstitute.org/aquarium/explore-aquarium/aquarium-exhibits/386-gulf-of-mexico-exhibit

Where's the big blue fish from the Manaan Retreat Video? ? ? star-wars-old-republic-manaan-retreat-stronghold-trailer Click above Link; Look @ 0:23 I watched the Manaan Retreat Promotional Video on the website (you know, the one showing the SH to try to get us to buy it...). I realized something. They showcase a big blue fish/dolphin swimming slowly over the coral reef in the middle of the glass floor - very easy to see. There was also a glimpse of a yellow one to the right darting by. Where is the big colorful fish in our personal SH video and in our SH glass floor?? It should be there slowly swimming and looking up at us in our SH underwater observatory. It was advertised as being in the SH, and I want it! Right now, there is nothing to observe in the underwater observatory... Nothing swimming where we can see it BTW. Yeah, that little fish by the coral looks like a toy someone accidentally dropped down there, and the little school of minnows shoots by so fast they look like the bubbles. Surely there are fish out there large enough to observe, so just send them to our glass floor and teenie tiny windows (which should have been larger) so they can be observed in the observatory. Really. Give us the fish promised in the promotional video!! Why tease us with something to help sell the SH and not give it to us? We need the big blue fish and more in the underwater observatory. TL;DR Summary: Watch Manaan SH Promo Video on swtor website. Dev's have a big blue fish in their observatory floor that we do not have in ours. But, I want it, too!!! Otherwise, if we don't get it, they have misrepresented that part of the SH.

Kinda makes strongholds seem not as important as the other forum topics, since they didn't even bother to give it an icon. Yes, Strongholds should have an icon on the Forum Page, just like all the others. So... Why not

I agree with everybody about the new SH and improvements needed. The underwater windows (portholes?) are way too small and should be bigger or add a huge clear wall for viewing the ocean floor more easily, esp. since there are decoration hooks out there. Need more color, maybe a coral reef deco? Need more sea life to observe underwater. I really like the clear floor area where we can see fish and coral reef below (maybe less glare on the glass would be best). Right now I want to specifically talk about the aquarium decorations for this SH. Please improve the aquarium decorations. Go look at a real aquarium. You can actually see the fish, rocks, plants, etc. very easily and in bright color! Real aquariums also have lights inside them to show off the fish. Please color the fish and coral in the tanks. Give them a light to brighten up the inside of the tank. Maybe they should make the deco clickable to add an aquarium light now? It could really make them look better. As they are now, ugh, they don't look right at all. It looks more like a gray cylinder holding gray water and the gray fish are almost invisible. It should easily look like an aquarium with sea life from anywhere in the general area... but it does not. So please fix the aquariums with a light inside to see them in color. Thanks.

I would love to get the highly fashionable suit worn by Otheros, the Cathar casino owner bounty client from Nar Shadaa's Bounty Contract event. Go look at him now while the event is going on and play the cut scene. It's a white outfit with lots of stylish gold design glittering on the shirt. It looks good on a guy, like royalty, and would look even better on my girl characters. That gold/white top would look fantastic with the elegant dress bottom with its gold designs. It could even be dyed, just show the gold! Imagine that on a female with a fancy hairlstyle to match, like the braid with its gold accent, or a Togruta or Sith with gold jewelry, or a Cathar with the ponytail with its gold end pieces. Just a thought, but I do really, really want Otheros's suit.

We need new romance lock-in point for Lana and Theron for boosted level 65 or for those who missed the lock-in point in the Alliance cantina scene. Hey, level 65 boosted ones have no romance options so need something, even if it is just the ability to play that previous chapter and actually get the romance. Also, new romance characters would be nice in upcoming stories, but still want Lana and Theron to be options for the boosted characters even if that means waiting for a new chapter to be written to have a romance lock-in point. Just imagine: the Alliance Commander chooses to romance Lana or Theron later in the story. Lana says "I thought you'd never ask," or Theron says "What took you so long?" It's just like they have been waiting for you the whole time. I want a level 65 boosted character romance! Thank you. Oh, and if one does not romance Lana & Koth, would they get together (like Mako and Torian) later on? Just wondering. We want more story!!! I like the story - and the Outlander story is epic. We just want more old companions returning, more new companions, more romance, more adventure and action! More everything! Great job on the story so far but it's not finished! Thanks, swtor team!

I absolutely agree. In fact, I do not want to go through a server merge from what I have heard. Whoever is moved would be like starting all over. Who wants to go through that... lose your characters' names, your stronghold decorating reset as though never done, your outfit designer emptied of your carefully and expensively designed outfits, and everything else that could go wrong. What about credits, command tokens, etc. If all my stronghold decorating and outfits and names were gone, I'd probably get disgusted and just quit. Personally I do not want to be on a crowded server anyway, especially with the lag my internet has. All the populations increase for special events so add more special events if that is what you want., and more story content. Waiting for more story and the new stronghold. Not server mergers. Yuk!
