Conquests does, pretty much, lock out smaller guilds, roleplaying guilds, and guilds that are focused on social/levelling activities from getting the Guild Reward from Conquests. A few small, and welcome, changes might be: 1. Guilds not having to place in the top ten on the leaderboard in order to collect the (fairly insubstantial) Guild Reward. 2. Introduce a much bigger and better reward for the guilds that makes the top ten a bigger competition. Only the biggest guilds feel like taking part in conquests is worth anything at all for the guild. A more achievable, and much smaller reward, that gives out a single encryption and lockbox, would encourage the smaller guilds to spend time with it.

I disagree, this is probably the most popular suggestion in the entire sub section. Sooner or later, it'll be addressed as a "Yes" or "No" answer, definitively.

I really hope we're not moving toward a trend where the Empire and Republic are constantly working together... These are avowed enemies, after all. They are completely incompatible (very different philosophies) and since the Empire was gone from the galaxy while the Republic remained, we can only assume that they didn't become best friends forever.

I'm not entirely sure this belongs here, but anyway... So to unlock a deck on a flagship, you need, for example, 5 Command Plans. Each plan is made up of 50 encryptions. What's the best method of obtaining encryptions? Crafting dark projects, or doing conquests? It's difficult to figure out the best way forwards at the lowest cost, credit and timewise.

The discussion about Chat Bubbles is bound to open up again as we head into 3.0. Just as we had a customisation patch in the 2.0 era, it's perfectly possible we could have a social patch over the course of the next year. The devs know we want chat bubbles.

Still waitin'.

The cause is, honestly, most likely because there's been very little big content over the year. By big content, I'm talking either a large expansion, or just new PvE and PvP operations/warzones. I'm pretty sure that, when SoR releases, SWTOR revenue will increase by a lot, and for a long time too.

Please add /type. This is the huge emote I feel the game is misisng at its core. So many computers in this game, can't type on any of them.

So both Rishii and Yavin 4 are coming in 3.0. That's 2 planets, and as a result, I'm not convinced that it's going to be how I'm assuming it to be. Due to the wording, I'm assuming that the next story will begin on Rishii... then progress to Yavin 4, with both planets being "full planets", roughly Dromund Kaas or Taris in size. But is it likely that the only "big" planet is Rishii, with Yavin 4 being a daily area, such as CZ and Oricon? Or, is it more likely that Yavin 4 is just being used for FPs and Operations, like Manaan? I'm a little confused by the wording... dunno if a dev can respond, though they are likely busy. Can anyone tell me which one it's likely to be, so I can level my expectations accordingly?

I don't really understand what you mean. Do you mean showing events we already know about, generally, in the Star Wars timeline? The timeline does not really cover this slice of history. TOR stands on its own. Rise of the Hutt Cartel was an original piece of fiction, and the game continues to go that way. It's more interesting for them to create NEW lore than retreading old lore.

Like the others said, there is no point looking for existing lore to figure out what they will do next. SWTOR will continue to have an original story with no ties to other EU material. Rumours flying about indicate something to do with Bothawui and Ziost, hidden in the gamefiles.

Really? I find it pretty easy, tbh.

I know all about the bloom fix, but the bloom fix improves lightsabers in general. Not their colour. With bloom on, every lightsaber is an ultra glowly torch of light, with the white and specific colour blending too much. This is particularly prevalent in the Green, Yellow and Orange crystals. It does not fix the colour of the green crystal, which is not a classic star wars green. The way forwards is either a fix (unlikely) or a new proper green crystal on the Market. (Very achievable.)

Bioware already said in multiple interviews, and in the roadmap, that there would be a "Makeb-level" expansion at some point this year as well. It isn't just going to be housing.
