I think these suggestions or these things to add could be nice.

 

- Add Darth Hexid:

For the end of the dark vs light event, we have no news of Darth Hexid. We can see her in the decoration menu (companions) but we can't have her. So add her as companion please.

 

 

- Add quests on Darvannis with a vendor like on Ziost :

It’s an "useless planet" after the end of chapter 14 (kotfe). It's a nice planet but we have nothing to do after the story on this planet.

I give an example how I see this:

Quests:

• 
  Destroy 3 Zakuul Walkers
  

• 
  Defeat 30 Droids
  

• 
  Help 3 mandalorian groups
  

• 
  Defeat 6 Anti-Personnel
  

• 
  Seal the Armory, Destroy Droids at the Armory, Defeat the Skytrooper Base Commander, Deactivate the Perimeter Sensor
  

Vendor with weapons, mounts, pets and decorations (maybe make a money like the "Ziost Memory Holographs" on Ziost to buy these items could be a nice idea):

• 
  Weapon: Mandalorian blade
  

• 
  Weapon: Mandalorian blaster
  

• 
  Weapon: Mandalorian rifle
  

• 
  Mount: Mandalorian amzab
  

• 
  Mount: Mandalorian hyrotii
  

• 
  Pet: Mandalorian akk dog
  

• 
  Pet: Mandalorian probe
  

• 
  Decoration: Mandalorian armory locker
  

• 
  Decoration: Mandalorian war table
  

• 
  Decoration: Mandalorian guard (male)

http://i.imgur.com/DtTJp1d.jpg

• 
  Decoration: Mandalorian executor (mandalorian in the middle + female)

http://i.imgur.com/ba7y8Pd.jpg

 

 

- Add new decorations to vendor on Ziost:

It could be nice to have news decorations on Ziost for the Ziost Memory Holographs.

I give three examples I like.

• 
  Imperial citizen (ziost sith citizen (sith pureblood) + male)
  

• 
  Imperial citizen (ziost sith citizen (sith pureblood) + female)
  

• 
  Banner: Ziost
  

 

 

- Add new decorations to Felucia Stato

No new decorations for her for a long time.

I give examples I find nice:

• 
  Arrangement: Alliance Crates
  

• 
  Planter: Odessen Tree (Medium)
  

• 
  Odessen Flora
  

• 
  Planter: Zakuul Tree (Medium)
  

• 
  Zakuul Flora (swamp)
  

• 
  Arrangement: Mandalorian Crates
  

• 
  Planter: Darvannis Palm Tree (Medium)
  

• 
  Darvannis Flora
  

 

 

- Add mounts with two places: one for our character and one for our companion

The idea is to make news vehicules with this function (like the flourish vehicules). It could be very fun. I like this idea.

It will work well with these vehicles:

• 
  E-95 Dread Behemoth
  

• 
  Desler DS-4
  

• 
  Vondell Ruby
  

• 
  Korrealis Duke SE
  

• 
  Manta Landspeeder (Blue)
  

• 
  Baron Deathmark’s Predacious Wrangler
  

Only compagnons with a human form can go in this vehicle.

 

 

- Add new playable specie: Nautolan

The specie the most requested for 2 years.

 

 

- Add new strongholds for later: Alderaan: Castle/Palace, Voss: Voss temple/Voss house, Rishi: Pirate lair

• 
  Alderaan: Castle/Palace
  A big castle with a medium garden
  

• 
  Voss: Voss temple/Voss house
  A big house with medium garden and a little temple
  

• 
  Rishi: Pirate lair
  

 

 

- Add a solo mode for Kaon under siege and Lost Island flashpoints

It's very nice flashpoints so why they don't have solo mode?

 

 

- Put a hard mode for Colicoid War Game

 

 

- Put a trophy for:

• 
  The Red Reaper (hard mode)
  

• 
  Gods from the Machine (Tyth – 3 mode), when the operation will be fully released?
  

 

 

- Increase the luck rate to have decoration in all flashpoints (tactical mode and hard mode for the bonus boss)

 

 

- Increase the sound of ambient machines

 

 

- Remove the sound and the “thin smoke” when we put our speeders as decoration in our stronghold (except the animal mounts).

I really have to admit theses are all really good idea hope they will add the nautolan species but i would prefer a Yoda's specie

Yeah I like these ideas. However, regarding the Kaon. Oh goodness, never again! D: So many Raks...

Kaon & Lost Island are my favorite flashpoints because of their atmosphere, but they are best enjoyed solo because of that!

Edited June 23, 2017 by Damask_Rose

I would rather see a Selkath species added...

-- Kaon Under Siege is one of my favorite FPs. I love the story, the look, and the cutscenes. I'd love a solomode version of Kaon, and Lost Island (full of fun, interesting mobs and an satisfying conclusion of the Kaon story).

 

-- Please bring back a regular and reasonable drop rate of Flashpoint decorations.

 

And, Keith Kanneg, your communication and dedication are awesome and appreciated. Thank you.

There are three strongholds that I'd absolutely would love to see ingame, so I will post them in this thread with the hope the Devs will take note

 

- Korriban Sith Tomb - I'd envision it as a small type of stronghold, two, three rooms maybe but completely styled as a Sith Tomb on Korriban. It would be great for Sith RP as well as for Imperial characters that want to have their Sith Inquisitor, Sith Warrior, heck maybe even Agent or Bounty Hunter buried one day in the future among the ancient Lords of the Sith! Or it could be some Sith cult spot to meet-up, aka, the possibilities are endless and since Korriban is such an iconic location it would be great to have a SH there.

- Tython Jedi Cave - I'd pretty much see the same size for this one as well, 2 - 3 "rooms" but instead of on Korriban it would be its counterpart located on Tython. It could be a cave in the style of those we see in Kaleth or near the Forge, where inside you'd have like ancient pillars standing, maybe a statue aka ruins-style a bit. It would be the perfect retreat for a Jedi to center themselves or for a Trooper, Smuggler to find a moment of peace in the forests of the ancient homeworld of the Jedi. Like Korriban, you can't think "SWTOR" without thinking "Tython" so it would make so much sense to have a SH there too.

- Oricon Fortress - Oricon is one of those planets that have a unique environment in the game, as it is a planet covered in fields of lava and molten rock. I always loved that planet and had a blast doing quests there as the design is truly unique and the ambiance/environment expertly done. I always looked at that big palace/fortress looming over the fields where you do you quests and thought how epic it would be to have a SH on Oricon. It would be a big-type of SH, I'd imagine, like Tatooine or Yavin but styled in the image of the Dread Palace/Fortress operations. Perhaps it could have as lore background it was formerly the personal fortress of one of the Dread Masters and now you can take residence there. I could see endless RP possibilities with such a Stronghold, for both Jedi and Sith (but mainly Sith I think).

Very interesting suggestions.

What I would like is companions being able to be visible in party frames as an option you can toggle off or not.

When I'm duoi'ng instances with my friend I can only use focus, which disables when the companion dies or gets dismissed. Which is highly frustrating at times! Fixing the focus frame to remain there until removed would also be great.

Very interesting suggestions all around. I particularly would like Darvannis to become a Ziost-like daily area.

How about something like companion chapters. In between big story updates they could release short chapters that focus on companions personnel stories. They wouldn't have to be too big or elaborate, just small stories that let us get to know characters and develop the relationships. They don't even necessarily have to have any combat. This would help offset the change where they do not focus the new chapters on returning companions and give some regularly released story content to subscribed players like with what they tried with KOTFE.

Nice Ideas, but OP your forgetting one simple thing, the strongholds are the only things they can get cartel money from, the rest of the stuff they would be giving us, so NOT going to happen.

- Add mounts with two places: one for our character and one for our companion

The idea is to make news vehicules with this function (like the flourish vehicules). It could be very fun. I like this idea.

**snip**

Only compagnons with a human form can go in this vehicles.

Please do not restrict to humanoid companions. Some droids can pretty well fit in the vehicle.

 

The flourish could be made to either display the droid and choose whether he's driving or it's the player character.

 

- Add new strongholds for later:

Most certainly but before that please add new rooms to existing strongholds.

 

Add a solo mode for Kaon under siege and Lost Island flashpoints

To recycle old content think about adding a 4 player mode to all the Operations.

 

Then how about letting players "revisit" the class story instances?

If you are going to add Mandalorian themed items as a reward,add in

 

Mount: Basilisk War Droid

Pet:Strill

Weapon:Mandalorian heavy repeater (cannon) Canderous Ordo carried one in KOTOR

Nice Ideas, but OP your forgetting one simple thing, the strongholds are the only things they can get cartel money from, the rest of the stuff they would be giving us, so NOT going to happen.

 

I think the hope is that they may have realized how one sided the game has been in regards to putting almost EVERYTHING besides stat gear on the Cartel Market.

 

It has had a pretty negative impact on the game in the sense that there is no reason to go anywhere specific to loot something cool...IE rare drop items from random spawns etc...

 

Personally I hope they start adding interesting items that drop directly to the game again...mounts, skins, tunings and even rare drop companions, maybe from a Flashpoint of which the companion is relative.

 

I will continually return to a spawn for months to get an item drop if it's cool enough. That is a lot of invested play time from adding an item to a rare spawn or a Flashpoint.

I didn't even know there was a new planet (Devorkan or whatever it was called) until I read this post. I'm going to go have a visit there to see what's there.

I'll ask Charles to review and get back to you.

 

Some great dev responses lately on the forums. Keep up the great communication and we will need a Commemorative Statue of Keith.

 

Butt kissing aside, I have made a request a handful of times over the years that has fallen on deaf ears. I use the Jedi BattleLord armor set (Jedi Stormguard is the same appearance) and the Resolute Guardian armor set, as the former is hood up and latter is hood down. My problem is that I want the robe to be black. The dye system does not change the robe color at all. I have no idea how much work it is to create two new versions (hood up and down) of the chest that dye differently, but I would love to hear if this is possible.

 

Thanks.

I think the hope is that they may have realized how one sided the game has been in regards to putting almost EVERYTHING besides stat gear on the Cartel Market.

 

Yeah I hope they do too, I wish all the vendors would get some nice new stuff, especially the event stuff, and rep vendors, I still have 60 unused cartel certs, however I am a realist, and you can not help but go with what you know, like before the end of the year there will be another reskin of the same little droid they have released dozens of times, there will be nothing really cool released for free, Keith talking to us more will go on for about another month, then all the open up front talk will disappear like a fart in the wind.

 

As for cartel market being detrimental, galactic command has been the single biggest detrimental thing they did to this game, and not only is it still here, they will be releasing a 5th tier.

 

No I do not have any proof of a 5th tier, but guess what, Sony denied rumours of a ps2 slim, and a ps3 slim, and psp slim, and guess what, we got all of them.

Would really like to see at least 2 more characters for both the dark and light side. One a force user and the other a non force user. Done all 4 for both light and dark many times and getting bored with those stories.

The other thing I would like to see is a serious overhaul of GSF. Most new players get into a match,have no idea of how to line shots up or much of anything else (the tutorial is against stationary targets last I checked), get utterly annihilated and stop playing after completing intro. The game gives 10 levels of ground interaction via PVE before you can queue for Warzones. Give some GSF PVE. Set squadrons up where you have story missions (that later turn into dailies) that give ship req. First is very basic,as you get transferred to a higher ranking squadron closer to the front,they get more challenging. An example of this would be on Coruscant the basic mission is "Find and destroy 10 Black sun smuggling ships and their escorts" and is your first GSF mission for PVE. Dropping prices on ship components keeps those in GSF involved and helps balance (which needs to be rebalanced imo when looking at various ship damage/ranges/speeds etc) ,but does nothing for the guy first going into GSF.

One thing I would like to see in the future is a daily area on Manaan, I heard that we are going to get a stronghold for the planet. So I am wondering if we are going to see future story content for the planet since it's currently just a flashpoint hub.

Here are a couple more ideas:

 

Changes to character login screen:

• Lock character positions - always know where your toons are at
  
• Ability to move positions - simple 'move up' and 'move down' buttons
  
• 8 or 10 toons per page - 8 allows one of each advanced class per page (i.e. Pub page, Imp page, extras)
  
• Character create moved to the legendary icons - clicking on the base class icon could bring up the advanced classes -> choose start at 1, 60, 65 -> customize appearance -> start game
  

 

Changes to quick travel:

• Remove restricted areas
  
• Add a central point for all orbital stations and spaceports - orbital stations could have their own position in a corner of the QT map (ex. Hawaii or Alaska on a US map)
  

 

There are a few reasons I would personally like these changes.

1. I'm a bit OCD - really want my characters to not be all jumbled

2. Many times I'm ported to the shuttle area on fleet instead of the main load point then have to walk/speeder and use a turbolift to then be able to QT to the Gav or bazaar.

3. Same for using the new galaxy map travel function and being in a spaceport/orbital station

Climate / lighting model changes (not that these haven't been mentioned before many times):

1. Day/Night cycle on all planets. EQ2's cycle was 72 minutes.

2. Alternating weather cycles with more than just one weather type. Sometimes sunny, sometimes rainy, etc.

On desert planets, sometimes sunny, sometimes a blinding sandstorm... there's ways to do it.

3. Volumetric clouds that cast shadows as they pass overhead (get shadows rendered more efficiently first)

Edited June 28, 2017 by xordevoreaux

There are some really great suggestions on there! One of the simpler ones I really like in particular, which is more rewards for the Ziost vendor. More than a handful of players have done the daily missions on Ziost regularly and now have a stack of Ziost Memory Holographs with nothing to spend them on!
