So, we're about a month away from Onslaught. There was talk that subscribers would get Nautolans before the launch of Onslaught. Bioware, is there any word on when they will be released? I know, I know, Onslaught just hit the PTS in Phase 1. But I was just curious.

Will we ever get new races again? I know in the past Nautolans were really sought after and I think behind them was like Kel Dor or Bothans. Just kind of curious so I figured I'd ask the question.

I'm grateful that Tunings are unlockable. But there is still one thing in my collections that I cannot unlock. The Stronghold Defenders Lightsaber. It shows I can, but I click on the button to unlock it and it STILL won't unlock. The rarity at which we get Cartel Certificates (if we get them anymore) makes is worrisome as I love that lightsaber and fear I won't be able to get it on my other characters. Can this be looked into Keith/Eric?

Ok, I know there are probably 28 million threads on this. But I'm not going to waste too much time searching or bumping them. So, I'l going to ask it here. Keith, I congradulate you on your new position. At the same time, I feel sorry for you for the heat you're going to take from the community. I don't speak for everyone. I won't pretend to, but I would like to think many of us love Star Wars. Past, present and future. And we care about what happens. Many of us are veteren MMO players, like me. Many love PVE, or PvP, or story. I'm on the fence on all of them as I dabble in them all. But I appreciate story more because...well...Bioware. I leave it at that. Which brings me to my post. I know what Chris Boyd has said. But...sadly....I feel I cannot take his words with anything more than a grain of salt. So, I'm turning and looking at you as the new producer. Keith, back in the day, I romanced many of the companions I thought interesting. Vette, Elara, Jaesa, Kira, Nadia Grell, hell, even Malavai Quinn (the damned traitor XD ). So, I guess the question to be asked is, when will we see the return of those love interests (LI's) we worked hard to build our relationships with? Specifically: Jaesa Wilsaam, Nadia Grell, Kira Carsen, Ashara Zavros, and all the other LI's from the ORIGINAL SWTOR class stories? (sorry if I can't recall them all, I only played specific classes but remember the outcry for all the others.) I don't expect a perfect answer, but I think a "We're working on it." or a "Look we understand but...it ain't ever gonna happen" would be at least something. Will we be disappointed? Most likely. But at least we'd have an answer. From what I got from Boyd, it was a "Sorry, son, ain't never gonna happen. People got too pissed off." Thanks. DarkTrooperV

I have two locked gates I can't get through. How in God's green earth do I get to the rest of my companions to check on them?

Ok, so, I've watched the livestreams (or their recordings). And except for the ones you posted. You have said NOTHING about the rest of our LI companions returning. Those like Elara Dorne, Raina Temple, Vector, Corso Riggs, Malavai Quinn, and many others. Can you at least give us SOMETHING about what is happening to them? I do not speak for everyone. But can you at least tell us that: Yes, they are all coming back in some kind of chapter. Or No, we really don't care enough to do anything with them anymore. Just give us SOMETHING other than a supremely vague answer. Personally, I don't want specifics. I just need a yes or no answer. And I'm sure others would like it too. It will tell us whether to continue supporting your game or not.

Gaming news sites are picking up on this now. http://www.mmorpg.com/star-wars-the-old-republic/columns/gear-progression-goes-rng-with-eternal-thrones-galactic-command-1000011252

1) Jaesa Wilsaam 2) Nadia Grell 3) Kira Carsen 4) Elara Dorne 5) Mako I really am iffy about Ashara because really, she was wishy washy with the Sith Inquisitor.

So, out of curiosity BW, when will we see Nautolans as a playable race? This is probably been the third most asked for playable race since you started releasing new alien races to play.

Why even bother watching? They'll just ignore any questions the viewers will raise during the Livestream like they did last time. My only wish. Just give us Nautolans as a playable race, complete KOTFE without the livestreams. They really don't do much other than serve to completely torque off viewers.

And this is the issue. If choices matter, then why take it away? Why claim it, and then...retract it? Is that not a bait and switch? (It's been over 25 years since my Business Law classes) Now I don't think some people would feel so bad if Bioware would come out and say: "Look, we know what we said about choice. But with our team, it's tougher with characters such as Khem Val and Jaesa Wilsaam. And we are not able to accomadate those companions." Would people be upset? Of course they would be. But the truth would be there. Honesty would win out. At least, I hope it would. Perhaps I'm just hopeful not everyone is a greedmonger.

Alright, so maybe it's gone beyond annoyance now. Headed right into disgust. I'm tired of the marketing bullsh*t. Tired of you, Bioware, saying one thing and doing another. You sat there when KOTFE started and said: Your choices matter! Really? If that was REALLY the case, then I would have seen a consequence more than just that crybaby Koth leaving because my Sith was acting Sith in one chapter. If my choices mattered, then Khem Val would be coming back. Not replaced by some wanna-be. I actually really LIKED Khem Val. I was looking forward to my Inquisitor being reunited with him. Part of the reason I flushed Zash to the Void. Hell, I haven't even seen anything that mattered between Lana and my Inquisitor. Since chapter 9. Was that just a "Wham. Bam. Thank you, officer?" Where is this epicness you claimed KOTFE was supposed to be? And what about Elara who is...freaking amazing in my book. I LOVED Elara Dorne. Probably not gonna see her. Especially with not many chapters left. Look, let's just be up front here. Some people are clearly getting annoyed...and actually scared that they won't get their LI/Old companions back. And rightly so. They worked hard on them before. But if you're not going to do that. Then have the grapefruits to actually come forward like Bobby "The D*ck" Kotick from Blizzard did and say: "We don't care what the players want. This is our game and we will do with it what WE want. We aren't here to appease the players." - This was said during the Wrath of the Lich King era (close to the end I think. I can't find the link anymore. But it blew the WoW forums right up in a fury) Just come out and tell us what companions you plan on bringing back. Just cut the whole mystery crap. Really, you guys need to stop lying because you suck at it. If EA has dug their claw so far into you that all you care about is the money and not the quality of your game. Then just come out and say it. Say you only care about the CM and the money it makes and cut the facade that you care. I know hardlined defenders are going to flame/troll the living crap out of this. I don't normally post because I'm in game. But after yesterday's livestream...yeah. I had to vent. So there it is.

Actually, no, it's really called price gouging. But...hey...believe what you will. Facts are facts. The outcry is there. See what you want or don't see anything at all. It makes no real nevermind to anyone else.

Actually...no. It's called 'price gouging'. A FAIR price would be...20...MAYBE 30 million credits. MAYBE. That might even be a stretch. So yes, it is greed.

I won't say that I spent any money, I had CC's saved up. But I bought one of them 30 packers and...I dunno...5 or 6 of the 5 packers. And I got WAAAAAAAAY to many of the Grand Garbage Cubes. Seriously...can you do away with that crap? I can get garbage off the mobs in the game. I got MORE bronze and scrap and maybe....6 silver and 2 gold. Seriously, cut the crap with the money grab scheme. It just isn't working. The players (those that aren't the white knights) are not fooled. Look, if your, Bioware, are going to play this kind of a game with the Cartel Market and hope you are going to make money? You'll probably lose out in the end. Just....look...put the really popular stuff on the Cartel Market for direct sale. Get rid of the packs. You are starting to alienate your players (Like EA doesn't do that already, right?). At least with the older packs, I had a decent chance at getting what I was looking for. This isn't a chance at all. It's just utterly pathetic with the drop rates.
