Thanks for sharing the info; a lot of good stuff in there.

Legacy races: I like this feature. I hope they add an additional character slot or two though so we can take advantage of it. Or give us the feature to transfer characters so we don't have to delete one in order to take advantage of.

Heroic moment ability: OK, kind of nice. Probably not necessary to use in order to get through solo pve content though b/c I rarely need to use the comp-required abilities as it is. I'm guessing this is a cosmetic thing.

PvP: I like instanced pvp more than OWPvP. As a pugger, I was just never keen on the biggest zerg wins 90% of the time game style. I welcome this change.

PvP same faction WZs: Ugh...I simply hate Void Star. It's just not fun to me. To see that I'm going to get more of it probably means I'll be waiting through whatever penalty they impose on warzone quiters. I'm disappointed that they aren't allowing us to select specific warzones to play in. I'd gladly take a longer queue to play the WZs that I like.

PvP new warzone Novare Coast: It's hard to form an opinion without having seen it in action. I'm glad they're adding it even if I wish they'd done something more innovative like Huttball instead. Capture the turret is fine, but it's hardly fresh & exciting.

PvP ranking system: Glad to see that the solo queuer wasn't alienated. Not that I'm all pumped up for ranks/titles. I guess the herd needs some way to showcase their epeen.

PvP new armor: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't allow ranked tier armor to be used in regular warzones (assuming there's a stat advantage). RIFT failed miserably with respect to the gear divide between fresh 50s & tenured pvpers. Keep pvp more about fun & less about pimp gear owning lesser geared players.

Class changes:
New abilities for the warrior & knight: Really?! We don't have enough abilities to sort through as it is? Are we getting more ability bars to put these on? The one class that needed a consolidation actually gets more abilities. I hope they're intended to take the place of existing abilities. Nuff said.

BH nerf: So long tracer spam is my call. I left my BH at level 42 b/c it was just too easy. Hopefully the nerf will be intelligently handled and not kill the class.

Full of win: Guild banks & moddable user interface. If I can finally adjust the size of my procs (or better yet adjust them & make a new window for procs alone) then that's worth a new sub right there. Some of us don't have 20 year old eyes. Guild capital ships. New dungeon & flashpoint content.

Edit: Can you make the Republic turrets fire faster in Novare Coast. Thanks

Good way to start the day. Thanks OP & thanks BW.

Do you wish your Bounty Hunter could shoot Force lightning? After 1.2, if you relate the Bounty Hunter to a level 50 Inquisitor, it'll be possible
Is this an april fool ? BH with force lightning, yeah and Marauder with backstab maybe and sniper with stealth

I hope they get rid of the speeder ride in Voidstar.
I'm sure in one of the upcoming expansions the factions will have to team up to fight a greater threat.

Only usable in PVE scenarios with Companions out...so not very often. It's more or less for people to screw around with when they're bored from the sound of it ; )

the classes that do need nerfs are marauders, pt pyrotechs, tank assasin hybrids, and the amount of control coming from operatives/scoundrals (regardless of what bads say, me going from 90% hp to 8% with no control of my toon, @ 650 expertise is NOT balanced)
Whats wrong with marauders? Infact whats wrong with the vg/pt shared trees?

How are pve scenarios defined ? Hope not this will be useable in world pvp.

But honestly, why should classes get already existing abilities from other ones. This sounds like a lazy content filler.

Well, this has helped me decide which of my ranged alts to stick with.
