  1. I figured it was intentional since it fits with past patterns of decisions that were pursued irrespective of all evidence in player feedback.
  2. Malgus indeed died after the events of The False Emperor. They have not yet revealed any proof that he didn't physically perish at the bottom of his fall. He has been resurrected because of the convenient ability of the Dark Side to pervert the living Force and can now apparently provide some equivalent of necromancy with a little bit of sufficiently advanced technology. One may expect that the nature of his present condition and servitude will play a substantial role in whatever future story content Bioware Austin gets to do. Like bringing back Revan, I find the plot point a little cheap and worry about the direction they'll take it. For the moment, now, one of the good surprises about Ossus is that I could think of far worse ways to revive Malgus than what they ended up writing.
  3. NPCs will still refer to us as "Darth Commander." Herpes will be cured before we get to shed that title.
  4. No, make all companions capable of being killed. Waifu abuse is my fetish.
  5. This isn't quite as complicated in the way it's being made out. Star Wars is a universe with moral objectivity. It "has an opinion" on right and wrong through the context of the Force. The Force in Legends generally cares very little for motive or excuses versus actions and consequences and judges actions on the personal instead of the global scale. Life, harmony, and temperance are affiliated with the Light and death, passion, and impulse with the Dark. Whether or not you personally agree with it, certain actions demonstrably and physically make the Dark Side of the Force stronger. Even if you aren't sensitive to the Force, it flows through and suffuses your being nonetheless and your actions have repercussions throughout it. You should be prepared that from time to time what you are very convinced based on your real life upbringing, cultural influence, and free agency of thought as "good" will be "bad" to the Force. Considering how often the worst things in Star Wars often start with people utterly convinced they are doing the right thing, it actually gels quite well with the franchise's traditional storytelling. The most dangerous Sith are less often wallowing in depravity than they are operating on an internally consistent system of personal oughts (morals) that are twisted into something alien to most sane people.
  6. I would like him as Emperor but not at the price of killing off Acina. I'm sick of the Empire losing all of its good Sith characters of political significance.
  7. I agree with the sentiment that it's intellectually insulting to ask me to buy something 1 credit cheaper than an earlier listed item. Every single credit does not count in such an inflated economy. I don't feel like a frugal long-term planner sagely respecting the value of a credit if it takes 5,000 GTN purchases to "earn back" the cost of an incidental repair bill. I go out of my way to spend the extra seconds of time to find something not undercut by chump change not to punish the seller but for my own sake of refusing that tactic success. Whether or not somebody else wants to snatch it up is their business and no concern to me. I do, however, undercut as a seller by small amounts because it just plain works. Most people really will buy something that's only discounted by something 3 or 4 orders of magnitude cheaper than the initial price. I also find it worthwhile to try because it can help soften the impact of the GTN cut as I rarely have the patience to hawk my goods in the trade channel. I'm also willing to undercut by more most sellers because I neither have some personal set goal of being a Star Wars billionaire nor do I require profits in the tens of millions of credits to do Master Mode operations.
  8. He's a mystery box that served its limited purpose and will now be forgotten.
  9. This is what I'm prepared for in any case. Even the least resource intensive 3rd faction model would still take time and manpower away from the ideas they've already vetted and decided on for 6.0 onward, and I don't think they have enough wiggle room to take on something like that.
  10. I basically want the Alliance as a third rail of power phased out from the plot but I'm also hesitant to throw away everything I earned from investing time and effort into it such as reputation with contacts and companions from outside the original quintet. I will be content for a time to have the Alliance be... in alliance to one of the major factions but I'd prefer, for example, that my Sith Inquisitor main character return to being the Dark Lord Darth Imperius in some capacity rather than Commander Outlander. His Alliance should form his new power base within the Sith Empire which would fit the idea that the everyone who remained in the Alliance did so out of loyalty to their Commander regardless of his Force alignment or political ideology. I would not be dissuaded if this meant I lost some of the companions from KotFEET as part of the continuing story (Aric Jorgan becoming a Sith Lord's personal sniper assassin would essentially transform him into a completely different character almost unrecognizable to how he was established prior).
  11. I honestly didn't notice regular problems until PvP became the most efficient way for some casuals to farm UC.
  12. Unfortunately the fan base will continue to promote their head canon above official sources from the de facto and de jure Gods of this IP no matter how many times their provably wrong opinions are corrected. I gave up ever since 2016 or so. It honestly doesn't help that Bioware Austin's writers seem to think that since Disney forked the timeline into their nu-canon and "Legends" that they can write whatever they want so long as they don't push it into self-parody territory and give Sith unicorn mounts.
  13. Zakuul flouncing on Commander Outlander is one thing I take as a hint that everything to do with KotFEET, including the Alliance, exists on borrowed time. "Please just kindly forget we were even part of the story. We'll be hanging out with the characters from the Ewoks cartoon and the Yuuzhan Vong if you need us." I don't have much of a problem accepting missions from other faction leaders. For one thing despite being Commander (even after I decided specifically to become an Emperor) I was never shown or given the opportunity to do much in the way of ruling or reigning. One scene looking potent in the preamble to Iokath and a few subsequent military commitments was all. The rest of the time I could have as much been one of my followers as far as the events of an uprising were concerned. From a roleplay perspective there's not much I can do about it even if I wanted too. Even a Force sensitive player class has not become on Valkorion's living god level of power and barely managed to surpass his children, and not without the aid of some helpful plot items. Even my Dark Lord cannot spread his arms and create a Palpatine scale Force Storm in space to scuttle any Republic or Imperial fleet that opposes his whims. His power base is (again) greatly diminished. If his goal is to claw his way back to the zenith of Galactic power, then it still makes sense for him to work his way into an existing system if only to subvert it from within. He was originally going to challenge the reigning Emperor of the Sith Empire someday if he lived long enough and survived the machinations of other Dark Councilors, so returning to the New Sith Empire under its new leadership doesn't change much except for the faces involved. And again, even the most ludicrously overpowered Sith in lore need to some extent armies, followers, munitions, and tools. The assets of so-called Eternal Alliance just don't stack up to those of the Republic or Sith Empire anymore and that's factoring in the unprecedented crisis in basic resources putting the screws on everyone.
  14. They were original in that they were present at launch but that option was introduced later in the development cycle. They're like inquisitor Sith Purebloods or Chiss bounty hunters in that they were allowed after all of the dialog had been written and recorded without their availability so you see those discrepancies even before the Legacy System was patched in.
  15. That ship sailed for me when people were rolling Sith Pureblood smugglers and dressing them in Trooper armor.
