Clearly, us men are better adherents to the Jedi code and are strong enough to resist the wiles of a Sithly woman than women are (Oh, God, I'm only kidding, please don't kill me...)

Can we get Holiday without Theran? Because I'd totally take that instead of Theran.

You start out with no abilities. How is that not a "joke suggestion?" How would armor be handled? Would they use specific weapons, or would you have open weapon selection? Would they be ranged or melee? Would this change depending on who you choose to play as? Overall... I just don't see it working, at least not without extensive, extensive QA testing for balance issues, playability, and all that sort of stuff. Sorry, I just don't see it. And trust me, this is coming from someone who's wanted a "droid class" in the game since it came out, back when we actually had Droid Armor.

I read that and just had that line from Red v. Blue in my head:

TC, my advice is this: Work on getting to a high level. Once you get anywhere near the 55-65 range, the weekly Heroics drop a lot of money, the mobs you fight drop a lot of money, everything drops a lot of money. Get a few characters to this range, and you can easily rake in the cash. I've gone from completely broke on a character from having to purchase all their crafting schematics again to having all their schematics bought and maybe 100k left over from running Heroics on... maybe two planets? The cash flow increases exponentially when you get up in level. Credit-hoarding isn't terribly hard to do when leveling, but it's also far, far easier when you get higher-leveled just because of the inflated values. If you're having trouble at the low end of the scale, level up some and try again when you're closer to the level cap. If you're trying to find a look you like that's within your price range, be open with what you want. I tried on a few outfits for a character I was starting last night, checking the GTN for prices on the whole outfit, and had to go through several before I found one that was both within my price range, and was something I could live with for the life of the character. What started off as trying to get the Revealing Bodysuit wound up going through Canderous Ordo's outfit, some other outfit, and finally landed on Mission Vao's outfit which only cost a cool million as opposed to the probably 5-10 million for the others. If you want money quick, you could always buy a Hypercrate, toss it up on the GTN after the mandatory binding period, and sell it directly for a large lump sum. That way it's a guaranteed amount you get after... what, a day and a half? Two days? And wouldn't require a character that's any higher than off the starter planet.

Well, the other thing to take into account, as mentioned (I think?) by the TC, is the lines that'd need to be recorded and others that'll need to be thrown out with this change. I think there's several entire conversations once you romance someone that only appear when you romance them, and they only have (for example) "Kira referring to Jedi Knight as a man" and "Jedi Knight (Male) responses to Kira." At minimum, there'd be lines for the opposing gender for those scenes, at worst, lines for the opposing gender, lines for the romantic interest, and lines for crew members who may comment on the situation (I think Doc and a few others point out that they know Kira and I are a couple, but I could be wrong.) So, outside of coding, there'd have to be all those lines re-recorded, as well.

I agree, especially with the Gree event. It has probably my favorite reward weapons / items from the event, but I'll admit, I'm a solo player. I hate holding people up with my sometimes-erratic schedule due to personal real-life stuff that can crop up at a moment's notice, and that keeps me away from stuff like Operations and large-scale group content outside the maybe 15 minutes needed for the Heroic. Should the dailies offer a reward selection of taking the rep token or a "canister fragment" appropriate to the type of rep token rewarded, it'd be a better way of going about it, I think. For instance, a green Rep Token reward would grant 1 fragment, a blue 2, and a purple 3, with 6 total fragments needed to "complete" a Gree Canister? Maybe tweak that number a bit, I wouldn't want it too low or too high and I honestly forget what the daily missions grant rep-wise. This could also be applied to other events, as suggested - say, with the Bounty event, you can get a "partial bounty bonus" or something for being such a "renowned bounty hunter!" or something. Collect so many fragments and you get a bonus contract completion, just like how if you were to hire a bounty hunter in real life (I imagine) you'd pay less for a relatively-unknown bounty hunter, or a great deal for a well-known one who has a reputation of always getting his man. Probably the same thing for the Rakghoul event, too. Overall, I like the idea. Boost rewards a bit, but not by a tremendous amount. And actually, thinking back on the math and how frequently the Bounty Week event runs, maybe not even have it with that event and just have boosted credit gains in place of a rep token, or a lockbox reward or something. But the Gree event? I'd like to see those rewards increased in some way, shape, or form, if just for those of us who don't run Ops or go after the World Bosses on tap every time.

My theory is that they probably think current subbers will buy them with their credit horde before unsubbing, then using those unlocks at that time. You won't get any money above the cap, but you can still spend it without the need for an escrow transfer while you still have it, and still get to retain the unlocks after you unsub.

Is that the vendor that sells all the Black Talon / Esseles drops? I'll have to try to hit him up then, I know they used to be in one spot on Coruscant but when I swung by there since coming back, he wasn't there and was replaced with a mod vendor. Anyway, thanks to everyone in the thread - I'll rescour the capitol planets again and see if I can find these guys, and worst-case I'll make do with nonmoddable offhands until I find / buy one off the GTN at the right level.

Hmm... I know that used to be true but I was figuring it might have changed. Or possibly it gives you one when you do your class switch but the characters I'm using now already changed classes before they made that change (I know stuff like the Guardian / Commando didn't get orange-level offhands when picking their specialization previously, but maybe they do now.) Anyway, thanks for the heads-up. I guess worst-case scenario I just deal with it until I hit a level where I can nab one and swap it in at that point.

Like the topic says, I have a few lower-level characters that are going to need some offhand items that are moddable - obviously stuff like sabers and guns I can just plop one from the Collections window and that's solved, but are low-level, moddable knives, generators, focii, and whatnot still somewhat easy / reliable to find somewhere? Looking on the GTN, it looks like there's not nearly as many nowadays until you hit the higher levels. Anyone know where to grab some? Just spam Black Talon / Esseles over and over until I get them? Thanks.

They should do that with the anniversary fireworks displays, too. I have four set up around a sculpture and I would love for all of them to fire off simultaneously like an organized pyrotechnics display, but right now it's kinda... lacking.

What's odd is you can go kill the kingpin, and then deal with the henchmen "hoping to get a shot at the big man himself" after that.

1 million for a global unlock would also be nice. Either way, something cheaper than 1 million per character. Edit: And easier than the entire questline per character. Since someone will pop in and say that - "you can get it for free if you blow a bunch of time scanning for parts!"

Some of them, yeah. The Satele / Malgus statues, I think, were some of these, as was the Revan mask (assuming it's still in there.) And I think the Mira outfit is now a vendor rep thing when it was in boxes exclusively before. Personally, I'm fine with the vendor rep items being in GCCs as well. The problem with the GCCs, though, is that they're far and wide mostly useless, I think. I never seem to get anything good out of them, and most times, I seem to get those in the new packs in place of items from those new packs.
