I'd love to have more excuses like this to go back to starting planets (as opposed to the Trooper going back to Coruscant 18,753 times just for mission briefings)

I think it would be neat if chapter 4 took place on existing planets. There are a lot of wonderful planets that I think could be expanded upon nicely! It'd be nice to have a good reason to visit them too. One of the reasons that I enjoyed the world events was the change of scenery.

in part its not a bad idea, however if you only use old planets you may not have the challenge of surrounding mobs that are at or near your level, you would probably only fight anything when you are inside an instance. that would probably translate to no open world objectives other that talk to this guy or click this thing with very little standing in your way.

but in part i don't see a problem i like being taken back to old planets every now and again.

Much rather see ilum being fixed to bring back world pvp there. And alowing faction fights on fleet bases. Make it a weekly thing. Place a spot on the fleet were a raid group can land and fight there way inside the fleet. Id pay 50bucks for that instead of there idea of a digi xpac they got going now.

I think it would be fun to have a mix. I enjoy new planets, but I also love being able to go back to old ones. the "events" we've had in the past (rakghoul, treasure hunt), were a blast going back to the older planets. But, at the same time, I'd love to see new areas as well (have yet to see a real solid "swamp" planet, that could be fun)

another idea that could be fun would be to give us parts of Ch. 4 on other fraction's planet. I'd love to take my sage or sent on a spy like mission on Korriban to investigate some older tombs there. or perhaps sneak my Jugg onto Coruscant for some stealth betrayal of the republic senate. or get my shadow onto Dromund Kaas to help free a slave encampment of republic soldiers captured during the war...you get the point. there is already fraction warfare going on on most of the "fraction only " planets (imps are fueling the rebels on ord mantell as an example) so the storyline wouldn't be that hard to get going really.

I'd prefer that over just "going back to Coruscant" any day of the week...but I'd love to see Coruscant again as well.

Some good concerns there. but in some ways they've already been taken care of. during the rakghoul event, we had daily quest that were actually scaled with level. the approach was to instill "appearing" monsters that would pop up when you were in the area (example was the sand people hiding in the sand...you got near them and they would pop up, and were always your level). Im sure they just tagged the mobs with your level when they "spawn trigger" went off. they could just apply the same principle to mobs for the new area's. or take it a step further...let the mobs wander around as "no level" mobs...but they got tagged with the level of the first person to hit them. something like that.

Korriban would be especially interesting for Chapter 4.
It's the closest thing to Mars, the planet of war. The reddish textures and sky create a scene that is beautiful and truly otherworldly. That place is so underutilized. It has the perfect atmosphere for pvp and dungeon crawling.

I seriously doubt BioWare will use it because it's Empire only.

Belsavis is out of the question. It's gotten way too much attention. It's bad enough having to visit for some of the dailies.

Several companions complain about Hoth. It's the planet where nobody wants to be unless they have to.

I really think chapter 4 deserves a new planet.

I think all planets should keep being used! But I guess they would have to expand the maps, or add new maps to the planets because the old ones have set level ranges.

True. But I've also noticed a lot of buildings or areas that are not used. I don't think they have to be instances either. Certain areas are just dangerous. If a lowbie wanders in... they learn a hard lesson. lol!

arguably this would be good since it would give people a reason to go back to these planets and it seems people have complained how there is little motive to go back currently.

I think if Ch. 4 does that along with adding any new high level areas they should also add daily areas to some of the iconic planets (Tattooine, Taris, Hoth, etc.)
