I think it's clear that, if anyone requires medication, it is more likely to be you than me, no?

It'd be fine if they just had some content, I mean who would care if it was just a matter of a handful of quests...but excluding people from a whole system (reputation system)? That's too much content to hog.

Do you understand yet?

They are going to have to (if they haven't already put this in place) add access to this system in non-pvp areas.
By 'whole new system' you mean one reputation faction of at least four * per factionthat will be introduced possibly requiring some element of PvP interaction. I understand the issue here perfectly well, a) People hate getting content that doesn't interest them personally and b) People haven't read the details of the release if they think ALL factions will involve PvP. Only Ilum is mentioned and only in relation to the Gree faction.

Sorry, could not resist to make this after reading that

Also, everybody, quit your whining, as we do not know anything about what will be there
Nice.

This sounds like it will be a Wintergrasp type event on the western side of Illum. It will be a disaster, the lag will be unbearable when you get a couple hundred players all stuffed in that area trying to fight each other. Sounds like it could be a fun event for the pvp crowd, too bad the game engine can't handle mass pvp.

I honestly hope so, because it would be a pain in the *** to gain reputation for those who have multiple higher level alts, which many people actually do have.
Looking forward to the update nevertheless.

I just want to hack of that things arms. Light-sabers aren't as fun if you can't hack stuff off with them. Well it wouldn't really be hacking it would be more like one clean swipe. Please Bioware make this happen. I will give you all my Starwars gummy treats.

I see what you mean, but think about the gameplay. Swtor battles take longer then most normal games and imagine fighting a guy and every time you hit him it cut somthing off... youd end up with a pile of imperial soilder. If you want to hack arms off go buy The Force Unleashed.

While I think this update looks fun and interesting, I can't help but think it's a bit funny that this Reputation system will be legacy wide, even though to me it would make more sense for each individual character to have to build up their own reputation. However, things like datacrons should be made legacy wide, and they sadly aren't.

Well, I don't know, but it sort of works like that in real world. If you meet some rich-looking American named Gates, you will probably wonder and ask him if he is related to Bill Gates (stupid example, but the only one I could think of). Also it works like that even in SW Expanded Universe - everyone knows who the Skywalker family is, and they respect them a lot just based on the name (even before they proved themselves to be as capable as their ancestors)

Also, Legacy datacrons are bad idea with no logical sense (unlike the Reputation, as stated in my example). They should not be made Legacy, as it has been argued in many topics in Suggestion Box, so I will not argue about that in here.

Oh boy! More stuff we DIDN'T ask for. Yay!

Now when are you going to fix the stuff you broke seventeen patches ago?

I'm not impressed.
