Admittedly I haven't played the game for nearly a year I came back due the new update to see how things are. To be honest I didn't expect them to outright just remove abilities. And from what I have now just read looks like they changed a lot of other stuff too. Quite sad really. But thanks for the info!

Just logged back in to try out new expansion and my quick bar seems to be missing loads of abilities? is this a bug or did bioware remove them?

I think a good way to help with the learning curve would be to add a free fly mode, basically an instanced area where players can fly around and kill bots (target practice) it's basically something you could do to pass the time or queuing for a gsf match like the Fleet. Every planet could have its own "hub". As a bonus you could give players daily or weekly objectives to do for the hubs which can give rewards in return such as smaller amounts of ship and fleet requisition . Players could also flag themselves for pvp as well inside the hubs which would good for dvl events. Guild ships parked on planets could actually appear in "hubs" as targets to be hit (not destroyed).

Its been five years since this game first came out and I'm surprised that there are still a lot of planets from the first two games that have not appeared. SWTOR is supposed to be the next instalment of those games it would be nice to see how all the planets had developed over the hundreds of years.

I don't like HK55 to be quite honest. I have perfectly fine HK51 that has been with me far longer and took far more of my personal time too acquire, even though I found some of the cut scenes amusing I could only think why my own HK was not with me instead of this lousy patrol bot. And when I did finally realise I had HK 51 I was quite gutted that he didn't say a single word about what he'd been up to for the past five years. Also...

Add Dyes that don't change the color but create a damaged look to our gear, For example blaster burn marks for worn out look this would be especially useful for people who RP. my character has had the same Appearance since level 20 and his armor would not be so shiny now

Something like the series 808 merged with the Gree scalene armor sets

I quite like the idea of a chess game, especially if they do it similar to how it is in assassins creed.

Saw this image http://www.pinterest.com/pin/158329743120341943/ And thought this would be cool if Bioware made something like this for a HK customization or for a new NPC or something (would be nice to have a little more classic SW art to the game. ).

The Swtor highways would be a path just for mounts scattered around a planet only two access points per path . however the path that players would have to follow would be a certain height above the ground, there fore this could not work with animal mounts, unless they were flying animals such as Thranta. The path would be a way for player to get to A-B quicker and would take you half the distance than the closest taxi would.when reaching the end of the path you would have to exit the highway to got back to normal routes on the planet. Bioware could choose the most strategic points to put them on planet hat would not interfere with other game machanics e.g. Datacrons I think it work extremely well in locations like Nar shadaa and Coruscaunt, it would be cool to be able to use my mount in the air rather than glued to the ground, and be able to get around a planet a little easier when i don't want to be ambushed by NPCS all the time too.

Should Have added this to the fleet as a news report like they do with events, still was a good read

I also think that is a good idea

Personally I just think they need to work on what they already have and make it less "useless" but I think it has potential some thing cool.

Gonna bump this up, really want this race to be added and we need show that we want it in the game

Currently there a are quite a few emotes and and social Items to use with no actual purpose other than vanity, why not allow players to gain social points while doing so? for example say I wave to player and then they wave back to me we both would receive 1 social point maybe I'm in a group and we all start dancing together which gives us all some social point's. It doesn't even have to be social points it could be a new reputation system. I just feel that the social aspect of the game needs some love and some greater reward, as currently social items are only good for RP.
