Switch to sandbox. move away from the dye modules go open world overhaul space combat, and space travel in general to sandbox, open world, and allow use of a flight controller. Basically make it mostly like Galaxies or Everquest, keep the rest.

You've obviously not played any of Everquest. The leveling didn't get easier at all. On the contrary it's gotten harder as the game has aged. Still fun. But not easy. Not by ANY means

That was rough for me too. I did it both ways, and let me tell ya, it's dramatic either decision you make. Some fine storytelling there.

People are NEVER happy. I played with the OP companions, fine. I played with the nuked ones, didn't see much of a change, playing with the ones now, same thing, not seeing much of a change. I can still solo the Star Fortresses if I want to, could with OP, could with Nuked, can now. I'm just happy I can use the ones I wanna use, and get the role for them I want. I understand constructive criticism, but when you make a new thread after a feedback thread has been provided, it becomes whining.

By the Force! This had died, and was buried peacefully, leave it be.

All of your points Op, have this same "I'm entitled so wahhhh waaaaahhhhhhhhhhh WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" attitude about them. You'll get your original companions back as time goes on, level sync is there, it lowers your level, you want it even harder, get level specific equipment and go from there, crafting..dunno about that I rarely craft.

I believe in the K.I.S.S method. Check to make sure your fan is running on the graphics card, if it's not, there's your problem. I realize you said you've ruled out overheating on the computer, but you didn't say anything about the graphics card itself. Check that first. I'm speaking from personal experience, currently I have a fan blowing cool air up onto my vid card to keep it from overheating.

I think the OP means minus the PvP feature of it. Turn it more into like what we saw in Episode II when Obi-wan and Anakin went after the bounty hunter into the Cantina. Not really feasible, but a decent idea none the less

So, instead of a fully immersive dying system that allows us to customize our armor and such to the point that Sith Lord A does not resemble Sith Lord B cept in caliber of armor class, you've decided you get to tell us what colors we get to choose, and where we get to put them. Seriously guys? C'mon. Everquest got this right the first time, let us choose what color we want as our primary, and what color we want as our secondary. It's not that difficult. If I had the resources you all have available to you, it's something I could do. This seems like a halfway done attempt. Seriously, there's 256 colors on the color palette, yes, I understand you have to apply those colors to each item individually, yes, I know it take a while to get that done, but better to take a while, and get it done right, than to roll out something half done. We're working on year 2 of this game being out guys, and I am a huge fan, but the half done crap effort being put into anything that isn't the Cartel Market is shameful, and sad.

Lehon would be most interesting, coming back to it after all this time, seeing what it looks like, how the Rakata have evolved on that world...Lehon gets my vote.

This entire thread is ultimately a failure because the word because is misspelled. Now, with that said, I'm not going to trust the word of a person who failed at spelling as simple a word as because.
