For once for the love of God BioWare do the maintenance while Europe is a sleep. It is not fair we ALWAYS, ALWAYS have to wait for you maintenance during our day time! Please, please, please

Before you do any, any changes to the game, how about asking community bout it? Seriously does no one from development team actually play the game? Sorry, i may be wrong, but sometimes it just feels this way. Why all the developer struggle for nothing and then have to deal with consequences and raging community - in the end anyway altering their decisions and spending time & credits. I'm an engineer myself and i know you never gonna get everything right even with all the methods of brainstorming and all experiences you have. There's hundreds of people out there on the internet having amazing ideas and i know its impossible to keep track of all of them. But in this case making community working for you could be a good idea. By my opinion there's not much missing to make this system work for BW so they could get purified, filtered ideas to the developers, same goes for the feedback about intended changes. Now making this happen is guess part of BW way of managing their staff but if I would be in charge i'd definitely try to gather information and feedback, then filter the ''bul**hit'' and deliver more realistic picture to the development and decision making stuff - this is mandatory if you don't want to make decisions with undesired consequences. Regarding changes to the game: Expanding communication outside business world to the actual users on a proper way could be challenging. At my opinion BW should have a hand picked individuals, guilds,... that would be able to communicate with BW stuff directly, giving them feedback, and i’m sure many folks would gladly cooperate - yes for free more people involved - more knowledge - better product. Now i'm afraid that lack of communication with professional staff and customers is something that many shrewd individuals overcame a long ago with projects where developers and customers cooperate on a whole another level.

/signed At least 15min debuff should be applied the the person leaving the WZ for the first time, 30 minutes if he leaves again and so on - debuff should stack and then reset every 24h - so people will think twice before leaving WZ.

Well it would be better if you'd be locked out of loot, than being locked out of the fights. Than you'd at least be able to help other people complete the raid. Now what happens is that there's not enough people in guild or there's not even enough people online on the fleet that would be able to participate - there's lack of tanks on my server, but if you manage to find a tank, he's probably locked out already; so sometimes it's really difficult to put team together - even with group finder.

Well they've killed the Assasin tank - too squishy now, due to nerfing :S

Exactly, that's what this game is missing BW / EA, not new planets but improving existing ones - MAKE SWTOR ALIVE and we promise you millions of subscribers!!!

Simple: to be locked out of loot, but not from helping the others.

Nice idea /signed

Greetings everyone This is my first suggestion post so far, hope you'll like it Haven't read much of the previous posts so if i repeated something, well lol And I'm a mechanical engineer/developer myself guys: so yes I do know what kinda ***** your bosses are! So lets get started 1. Removing game content (like speeders) Well have nothing against it IF there would be appropriate substitution for these things, but there's not For example: You removed cool looking Korealis line of speeders(cars)... and added what: Aratech ones - well they arent equivalent nor by size (which does matter) nor by the looks (come on, those are just repainted Aratech Dagger omg ), nor by the way they can be obtained! 2. Adding game content: Well its cool to add new ops, planets,... , but what about improving existing worlds so when you create a new character you might actually want to experience that new content and not skipping it as it could be easily done with ''power-eveling'' via Legacy perks - mean there are beautiful huge worlds and yet they're just barren wastelands since there's nothing going on on the map apart from regular questing which is apart from class story same for all. - Adding level 50 HM version of every single Heroic mission in TOR: Sure that would be great =D Imagine travel back to the worlds with your friends doing the HM heroics(Just like you do World Bosses), and the number of them to choose among is huge Devs don't get me wrong now: You don't need to do this in one week for every single heroic in the game: But what bout adding a pack of those per planet every month... that wouldn't be too stressful for ya, wouldn't it be :S? - Adding some events, new Bestiary(not necessary foes! - just random animals to improve the sights), new people or changed areas, well world of TOR is alive isn't it... make it breathe and live!!! You don't need to build a castle lol, Lets take Nar Shadaa bonus series place (omg what a barren wasteland - so freaky boring and scary place :S ) Add people moving, doing something. Add small things like stores, pubs, flats, apartments, ... Add more in-game events... simple ones people!!! Again you don't need to do like 10GB patch to make us players wanting go there and explore stuff. Add maybe a pet, or just cool looking piece of armor set... something simple) Add simple stuff like more silly thins to get... new color crystal perhaps, new cool looking saber... chance to repaint the armor, something simple but cool and different than existing piece: Lets say i want to get different color of BH chest piece, well you cant get it on the fleet but you can go somewhere on Belsavis and you can repaint it... of course not for free. (Yea Rakghoul event ROCKED THE HOUSE PEOPLE: If you don't have money or time to do something else, well what the hell, just copy paste the someone again - if someone complains: BAN him ) - More cool looking speeders, pets,... 3. Legacy bind and legacy commendations! To be clear: from players point of view this game requires a lot of grinding, we mean it a lot: so if you grind on one char, there's no need to grind on the other right :S ? So it would be great if you could spend your tionise/columi and BH commendations on your entire legacy regardless of char. Yea and you could really add a chance to transfer all of your armor among your characters, really if i get a Bounty Hunter Rakata piece on my Warrior... why cant i use it on my Bounty Hunter by simply mailing it to him? 4. Out of a box things One day you log in, you download a patch, than all of a sudden you see a cut scene of your fleet being attacked by ... (Mandalorians, Some space Terrorists, Rakata, here i would skip republic though) than series of quests being in various existing planets so you can help get your fleet back... but at that time fleet would be unavailable (though there should be substitution for it - But not just a copy!) And then you'd have a goal to play, to help get your fleet back - just a crazy idea Details of a scenery: this specially refers to the specific places on the map like the factories or the hospitals ... they look sorta boring :S i as an engineer dont have a feeling that I'm in a certain building, couse there is no difference from the rest of the let say Nar Shadaa, or Corelia (really you could just change the color scheme of a certain place and it would look hell of a different) 5. Owning TOR To own a piece of land on Tatooine or Korriban as a Sith Lord omg that would be awesome =D To be able to equip/modify your estate/house Again simple things that look different than the existing content are mind blowing 6. Guild stuff: I read some posts with cool ideas, wont repeat them In short + infinite to the Guild ships/pubs/... I general my idea is: better one small patch with silly things every week (pets, Speeders, color crystals, armor,...) which i think from your point of view as a developer shouldn't take much of time or resources to complete, than project for a 10GB patch which costs hell of a lot more, and because your bosses always push you cant do everything right... so you do it buggy and incomplete - which makes you and us very sad Hope you like this post guys and gals and sorry for my bad English just try to give you customer's feedback. Best regards Sim

That would be awesome! I like the idea. I'd really like to return to the planets with my level 50 to do some dailys or a bonus stuff. /signed

Yea that would be really nice indeed! Traveling through known areas with slow speeders is kinda boring. /Signed It would also be cool if there would be bigger speeders available for purchase with credits like Korrealis ones which were removed :'( and nothing equivalent wasn't introduced appart from ''repainted'' :S Aratech series.
