  1. This game already has collection system, so no it would not require extra development time in that regard.
  2. Dyes sell at insane prices on GTN. I bet Bioware sells lot of them on CC as well. So i was thinking that not only would some dyes with textures work really well with some outfits, it would also sell super well. I think that primary and secondary color in a dye should have different textures in some dyes. Some dyes would have metallic red primary, matte white secondary etc. Idk what other textures would be great besides metallic. I might not actually be too much into metallic dyes myself, but rather some other texture. But i don't know what other textures there could be so i can't suggest any. But i am sure people can come up with plenty of awesome ones.
  3. Changing level sync/scaling is not "fixing" it, as you call it. Basically you want game to be easier by allowing you to overlevel everything much harder. And gearing still matters for late game, after you have finished the story. This is how it was designed, and maybe you (and others?) think it needs to be changed, but that would be change, not a fix.
  4. Datacrons as they currently exist make early game even easier, which is not needed, while they have very little effect late game. Imo they should be changed to a small percentage (1%?) boost instead. If percentage is small, it would have less effect early game but because of how percentages work on ever increasing stats, would have bigger effect late game, making them worth getting. But if its small enough percentage, even if they stack, it would still not be too much.
  5. First if all, please avoid major spoilers about Legacy of the Sith. I have not played that yet. But i would rather be spoiled than make a wrong decision, i don't want to replay game again just to change my decision. So i am playing as Sith Inquisitor, and i really have a problem of rejoining the Empire. Why would i serve Acina? That throne is mine. And i don't want to give up Alliance, it's remaining members are my loyalist powerbase. Only way i would want to rejoin Empire is as it's leader. But i do really want to be called Dark Lord again. I want to be in the Dark Council, a spot that is rightfully mine. So my questions: A. If i remain independent, will people call me "commander" or "dark lord"? Maybe Darth Imperius again? Does joining Empire change way people address and treat you? B. Will any of the alliance members leave if i join empire? What about if i don't? C. Will remaining independent make it impossible or harder to expand my power base inside the Empire? I do want to eventually take over the Empire (granted, the game might never let me... but as close as possible). D. How else does rejoining Empire or remaining independent affect me?
  6. Now i get that real Royal palaces would often be massive. But there are plenty of places that have been used by royals which are much smaller. I think there should be 2 different kinds: 1. More security themed royal establishment. A luxury bunker of sorts. Think of medieval royal castle, lavishly decorated, comfortable (so no Hollywood, nobody with the money would live in grey, dark uncomfortable and hideous bunkers), yet practical, functional and not necessarily that big (as opposed to less fortified royal palaces). 2. More of a "luxury resort" themed stronghold. Place worthy for an Empreror/Empress to rest away from prying eyes, in comfort and luxury. Neither needs to be massive in size. Small ones are just fine, and i actually prefer it when strongholds are not massive. But the layout is super important, it would be great if both would have some kind of throne room in a logical place, with an eye towards safety too. EDIT: EDIT 2: I just noticed Alderaan Stronghold is in the game... whoops!
  7. I doubt they will ever add another class story anymore. Maybe another advanced class or what ever they are called today, but nothing that requires new story for a class. It would leave remaining 8 classes without new content, so everyone would either have to play new class or not get any meaningful update. It just is way more cost effective to add story content that all 8 classes can play. Which is a pitty, because there definetly are stories they could make which only makes sense for a certain background. Now personally i would not mind this. I already think 8 classes is way too much for post-class story (because i don't want to play trough same story 8 times), so after original class stories are completed, i no longer play most of my characters at all. If we would get a new class with new class story, i would play trough the story and then ditch the character like i have done with most of the classes. If that is how we get best quality story, then so be it. But i would much, much prefer a story that i can play as my main character(s) on what ever levels they are. Eternal problem of MMOs is that character's story needs to continue forever. 8 classes is way too much for that, they kind of have to just have 1 story for all with some variation at best. EDIT: That said, they really should try to have as much class specific content as possible. But i understand how very little that can be.
  8. Both of you make a good point. Ideally we could have a "conservative" and "liberal" visual options. Toggle conservative on and skimpy outfits become more covered, pink hair with green beard and purple lipstick becomes brown hair and no beard or lipstick etc and liberal allows everything. I always think people should be able to play things way they enjoy. I love color, but for many people immersive means more rough and grey look. But that would sadly be too much work for it to be worth it. Their budget is very finite. So i guess things need to stay as they are. Personally i find most of the bikini ladies very immersion breaking, but there are few skimpy outfits that work, and there are tons of wild/unconventional hairstyles that work. It also depends on context. DS Jaesa wearing her revealing top fits very well for her, as long as she does not get silly dancer's bottoms or other stupid stuff. DS Warrior keeping Vette as a slave and in skimpy outfit is realistic enough - unless she accomppanies them into battle. As for beards and such... well problem is that i dont think bearded ladies or pink haired anyone fits well in Star Wars aesthetic. It fits well for some sci fi settings though, and there definetly are some more wild/unconventional looking visual options already, so why not allow for more? Star Wars is large galaxy, surely there are many places where wild/unconventional aesthetics are the norm. Coruscant, Zakuul, Nar Shaddaa, many other big planets with large populations. So i would say yes for more options and variety. I just really hope that they don't become too common for NPCs. I like NPC aesthetics as they are, most are quite plane and regular looking, only few have more wild/unconventional look. Roughly in similar proportions like in real life, taking into account which planet/group those people come from. So more wild/unconventional looks in underworld of Nar Shaddaa, less in higher classes of Alderan. Keep it that way and its all good.
  9. I am really excited about this, and the topic sounds perfect, its exactly what i am interested in rn.
  10. I would love that actually. I am in this primarily for the story, not so much for MMO aspect. Though if i would find OPS fun enough i ofc would try it with other players as well. But form my experience MMOs are not designed to have fun gameplay, its just grind that is supposed to be fun because you do it with other players. Which is a shame because in first 10 levels of the game gameplay is actually genuinely fun and good, weapons and abilities actually feel powerful.
  11. Title says it all. There are so many great pieces of armor that would be perfect for me with different cape/overcoat or lack of it. I understand how time consuming this would be to implement, so i would accept that this is implemented slowly over time. There are too many pieces of armor to do it quickly. Just start by adding cape slot, and at first make it usable only for those pieces of armor which don't already have a cape/overcoat. Over time, start tor remove capes/overcoats from excisting pieces of armor and make it it's own slot. Ideally even the shoulder pieces would be it's own slot, but unless that and cape slot would be merged, it would be too much work for now. I don't expect this feature to be done quickly, it can be rolled out piece by piece over multiple years. And that would be fine.
  12. I definetly want voice acting, but i wish game would show exactly what my character is about to say. Really dislike the 3 choices dialogue wheel. Also i think they should add ability from Mass Effect where you could ask multiple questions of your choosing before making the decision. In this game i often have to pick between few different options, when in reality i want to ask both why someone did something and what Material X is. Its needless limitation that makes no sense. I should only have to make pick between few exclusive options when we are making choices, not when i just want to talk and ask questions. Luckily esc key exists.
  13. Well i will wait and see if that happens. Not much good has happened yet. Fallen Order had great gameplay. But we had Jedi Knight games 20 years ago, Fallen Order hardly took anything to next level. Fallen Order had one brilliant scene at the end, but it was slightly let down by ex machina survival of that someone who that epic someone threw down. Other than that story was boring. It is a good start though. Maybe expansions or next game will give us something that takes Star Wars to next level, which imo is Mass Effect 3. If we get story focused Star Wars game as good as Mass Effect 3 minus the ending, it would be brilliant. Release endless amounts of good story expansions and i would be forever praising the Force. And SWTOR, nothing here about next level to be seen. But i am sure Disney will make lot of money with Star Wars. I just wish i could like it as much as i liked Star Wars pre-Disney. Legends had lot of crap, but Fate of the Jedi is my favorite Star Wars book series. And there was some other good stuff too, i was interested in Fel Empire, Imperial Knights and Jaina getting married to Jag, who would become Emperor. With Disney in charge, Jaina would divorce Jag and Empire would become evil guys again, and throw away all other development that happened for last few (rl) decades of Star Wars. But good if you can enjoy Disney era of Star Wars. I do believe that if you like Disney Wars, a bright future ahead, you will have.
  14. More solo story content is what i want, but it really would be better to just make single player game like Mass Effect 3 and Fallen Order. That would be much more enjoyable. Sadly i have no faith they would do that well. Fallen Order had good gameplay, but nothing about the story was in any way approaching Mass Effect 2/3 quality. And some things were better in Jedi Knight games, i really wanted lot more basic stormtroopers and other ranged enemies, i don't like when most of the grunts are melee troops. Lightsaber fights should be rare but epic and long, it should not be replicated against every grunt. Also i love visuals of SWTOR. SWTOR propably has my favorite visuals, good mix of realism and stylistic design so it never completely looks obsolete (after they patch low res stuff). I love the colors, though i hate when sometimes there is extreme shading where you can't see colors correctly anymore.
  15. If you can still choose to capitalize it, then it is good as it is. There are some things that are not supposed to be capitalized, such as Something von Whatever. There are also some languages where these things may go little differently. Also i could easily imagine that some of the millions of cultures and species in Star Wars, there are some who don't capitalize the second, or first, names. Maybe they even capitalize only last letters. And it's not like many of the names or words in Star Wars are written like typical English either, there are all kinds of weird ones such as Mitth'raw'nuruodo (Thrawn). Way it is done is realistic. If you misspelled your name, either try to contact support or rename your character with tokens. It sucks that you may have to pay for it though. EDIT: Oh i may have misunderstood. It is only in chat where capitalization is missing, right?
  16. Yeah. If Empress would turn against Outlander, Alliance alone might be enough to make coup successful and ensure enough loyalty to new ruler for mostly bloodless coup. Or it might become civil war, with lot of Imperials defecting to Outlander's side. Even those who previously left Alliance or did not join Alliance in first place might now bow to Outlander, since their loyalty to Empire might have been only reason why they did not accept Outlander as their leader. On top of that, successfully dethroning Empress might generate new supporters for him, as power is greatly respected in the Empire. On top of that, any inviduals alone would not be able to resist Outlander. Outlander may not be able to fight against all the people of the Empire, especially if they get Republic support, but sure is capable of tracking down and facing anyone in a fight and defeat them. And coup against Outlander is practically impossible or at the very least it would take a really long time. Especially if Outlander has plenty of support. Altough ofc time is very abstract in this game so that may not be an issue. Empress does not really have much choice but to stay on good terms with Outlander. Only if Outlander chooses not to care about Empress would she have any chance of openly opposing Outlander. She is nowhere near as powerful as Vitiate/Valkorion. Altough war against both Empire and Republic would surely be terrible for Outlander, perhaps too much. And if there would be civil war in the Empire, that is what might happen. So if Outlander is Imperial loyalist, Outlander might really want to avoid civil war. So there could be a stalemate where both are powerful enough that they don't want to fight each other at least until Republic is destroyed. Only Outlander that does not care as much about Empire might want that, but that kind of Outlander might well have a lot less support inside the Empire so any fight against Empress would be that much harder. And in civil war, Outlander loyalists who are also Imperial loyalists could turn against Outlander. Best for both to stay as allies for the moment, and try to gather as much support in the Empire as possible.
  17. They are not very interesting, but neither is combat in TOR after first few levels (too much health after that). They are ok for a change, nothing more. And a LOT of people could say if you find MMO combat fun there is something wrong with your brains. Even many who play said MMOs.
  18. Sounds like something i could do. I hope customer support can help you, it would be really great since people do make mistakes and not everyone has time to level up yet another character to level 60. But weirdly, making mistake like that has not end the world for me - yet at least. Its annoying but its life
  19. I would love it if all the unique stuff that i can't easily reacquire or not reacquire at all would be bound to legacy and i could buy (in-game credits unless cartel market item) copies of it for all my characters from collection. There was some weapon that i got at early level that i regret selling to vendor. No idea what it was anymore, but if i can find, use in-game credits to buy or make weapon that has same skin then its all fine. Maybe fireworks don't need to be something i can get infinite copies of for all my characters... But i would not mind having that as an option too, as long as it can't be spammed so much it becomes too annoying for others. It feels like even this would be done better if this game would be singleplayer, perhaps with optional coop and perhaps some MP content
  20. Ever since they stopped making class stories i have been cheering for any class restriction removals there have been. I like that every class has their own story, and approach to combat. But without class stories, if there are 8 classes, i would have to play through same stuff at least 4 times before KOTFE, and 8 times after KOTFE. And that is assuming i only have 1 character of the same class... It would be great if player characters could form alliances, for example it would be awesome if i could have all my lightside Imperial loyalists form 1 alliance, and then i could just play through mission once as one of those characters and it would update for all of them. It could make legacy's family tree meaningful as gameplay mechanic and not just as pure RP. I could finally play with more than just my main after i have completed class stories.
  21. Remember what Yoda said, size matters not. So it propably is just a lot harder or at least harder to learn how to force choke people through 'phone'. Or maybe it takes more energy. Every force user has some different skills, not all of them can do everything or at least as well or naturally as others. So maybe some can just do it better than others and some cant do it at all. Some can only do it on weak minded inviduals etc etc. There are always millions of variables for everything, and Force is very mysterious and there are multiple different cults who use it in different ways, see it differently, understand it differently, can do different things with it. When you see someone do something with Force, there propably is something else that many others can do but they can't. In real life and partially in Star Wars this is because you simply only have so much time available, you simply don't have time to learn everything. Some Force users propably are naked fanatics just to be better in touch with the Force
  22. Its great that Scourge and Kira have joined my forces, i just hope i can make both stick around and make them into full members of the alliance. But now that they told me about Sith Emperor's plaque, are there any more main story missions or something? Or do i just have to wait to continue the story? I did not get any new mission. I am little confused because Scourge and Kira came to talk to me after end credits for Onslaught. It kind of feels like they already expect me to go do some mission somewhere and start something new. But i guess it is just teaser for future content?
  23. My Imperial Agent is one of those who publicly don insignia and uniforms of Empire at all times, so everyone who can wears the same uniform (Agent's jacket is slightly different variant of same jacket to show his superior rank) at all times. So when my companions are silent they look like adjutants to important Imperial, not creepy stalkers. Its so incredibly fitting and i don't understand why i have never seen anyone else dress their Imperial Agents and their companions in similar uniforms. I understand why some want clothes that are not so obviously Imperial, its pretty hard to be unnoticed if you wear fancy Imperial uniforms. And lot of people want variety ofc. But when this agent enters into a room, everyone knows he has no need to hide. His reputation alone makes many comply without resistance, and those who resist will become dead symbols of Imperial might and justice. Though when i say Imperial, its actually his own Empire now. Even Empress and Dark Council are forced to recognize his independence and negotiate with him as an ally, not command him around like a mere grunt.
