  1. I wanted to get player opinions about an idea I have for future story missions. Assuming that Bioware keeps giving us new companions and companions that originally belonged to other classes, I was thinking that a great way to tie our alts into the story would be to set up chapter missions where we encounter and recruit the characters we have already played. For Example: SPOILERS AHEAD!!! Lets say your playing a Jedi Knight and have completed all of the KOTET chapters. At this point in the story the Jedi Knight is the Emperor dealing with uprisings. You then go on a mission where you here rumors of a Jedi Counselor who's been spotted with a Padawan (assuming you have a character that has completed the Jedi Counselor story line). The game then asks you to choose a Jedi Counselor from your alts. When you encounter this mysterious Jedi in game, its the character you chose with the names, titles and armor you have on your alt, and he is now your new companion, (with a matching SH decoration). I think this would be an interesting idea for a couple reasons: 1) SWTOR is, like all Bioware games, is heavy on companions, interwoven story telling, and character customization. This would tie all of those elements together in a way that Bioware has never done before, but has always been a next logical step, (such as Dragon Age fans one day playing a character who recruits the warden, champion and inquisitor the player created from the previous games). 2) it would allow the stories of the 8 original characters to continue. 3) it fits into the story already and most of the back story for these new companions would be filling in what happened to them during the 5 years the outlander was in carbonite. 4) it creates easy story telling opportunities to give us some more of the original companions. In the case of the Counselor example I gave, the assumption was that Nadia was the Padawan, but you can insert whatever companion you want or which ever's story Bioware wants to expand on. 4) it makes all of the time we poured into our alts much more meaningful. By bringing into the player's central story (assuming you have some kind of emotional/ creative attachment to your main.) It would also open doors for other interesting stories. If your counselor and Nadia are a couple, they could give us dialogue that represents that choice or a side quest. I also always wondered what the Counselor would think of Kira Carson. Her being a child of the emperor and the Counselor being famous for killing her pseudo-siblings. I just think it would be really fun, plus it gives us even more incentive to want to buy cartel packs to trick out our other toons. Let me know what you guys think.
  2. I'd also like that and i think a cool feature would be to decorate our character ships as we see fit. Loading our companions wherever we want to put them.
  3. Stronghold decorating is my favorite pass time and if allowed these are a few suggestions I'd like to throw at Bioware to improve the experience. 1: New Stronghold suggestions: (1) Zakuul Estate: makes sense given the outcome of the chapter missions. I really think it should be the largest stronghold yet with plenty of rooms to build a military base or force sensitive temple. (2) Voss Sanctuary: So far the game offers plenty of decoration and location options to make Jedi, Sith, Zakuul and Revanite themed SHs but its pretty lacking in Voss content, which I think is a shame given the mysterious and unique nature of these game specific force users. 2: More personnel Variety: For a game that has been going for more than 6 years, the bank of personnel decorations is actually pretty small and creatively limiting. I'd like to see more trooper options than the standard orange striped Republic troops and the same goes for the rest. Chiss troopers, Imperial/ Rebulic/ Zakuul officers maybe even some Voss and Balmora trooper options would be great. I also think a male and female Voss mystic would make great additions. Some variety among all the force users would be really appreciated especially if they incorporate more personal with battle poses and weapons at the ready such as Zakull Knights or Knight captains with their shields and pole sabers out, they are almost an iconic image in the game now. 3) Complete companion access: I was really peeved when I recruited Arcann but couldn't put up a companion decoration for him. There are a few others like Empress Acina that id love to set up in my stronghold but simply dont exist despite being in my rosters. This complaint also includes not having companion decorations for the alliance contacts. I'm pretty sure a lot of players would appreciate if these companion decorations were updated.
  4. I’d like to see Zakuul Knight and Zakuul Scion as hero classes for players who complete the Eternal Empire Chapters. Story wise it would make a lot of sense. They could explore the philosophy of the Zakuulan force users and give some back story on the events leading up the Zakuul incursions at the beginning of the expansion. Exarch could be a possible Tank specialization. I think it would be a nice addition to the content so far and would be on point with what most other mmos have done in the past.
