Thank you.

For some reason this made me think of that classic fighting game Masters of Teras Kasi, and as I watched a video I realized that Leia Boushh in that game had a double bladed lightsaber (well, polestaff) before Darth Maul...My childhood is ruined even more.

I don't know that I'd call Masters of Teras Kasi a "classic" but Boushh/Leia always had that polestaff. Although it didn't have light-up ends like in the game. I guess what I'm really saying is please wholesale steal outfits from the movies, Nonentity or make someone do it. Call it the Bouushh outfit if you have to. The extra U will keep you out of legal trouble.

Yeah I know about the staff, knucklehead, I am referring to the fact that it lit up like a saber. :D

And we know it'll be called the "Classic Bounty Hunter Hero Disguise"

I did mention the light up ends of the game, wise-guy :P

(feels like a 3 stooges routine up in here).

Outfit wise, the main thing that I'd like done away with - and, to be fair, it's starting to happen - is the short sleeves over long sleeve look that so many tops have.

Seriously though, if you guys ever have suggestions, I look here all the time to gauge sentiment on things.

Will you guys be making anything in the style of stuff from The Force Awakens, there looks to be some cool things that could come from that.

I just want to look like a stormtrooper with my commando, but all the helmets are weird and janky. I don't want the big shoulderpad, just a suit of laminate armor to kick rear end in.

That's a great direction to be pushing for. It feels like the higher level we go, the less iconic the armor sets are. Things I'd like to see in armor:
1. Less ridiculous shoulder pads.
2. More Jedi robes with hood down
3. More Jedi outfits with designs on the robes (something like the patterns on Ancient Paragon's Body Armor/Ancient Vindicator's Chestguard or maybe like early-mid level consular gear).

Hey Nonentity, if the game ever gets shut down you should convince the big guys to turn it into a single player game and sell it like that, to make more money after the servers shut down. Rebalance heroics so they only need one guy, making flashpoints and operations so you take your crew into them instead of other players, selling the cartel market items for credits in the GTN area...

This game ain't getting shut down anytime soon. It's doing well already, and I guarantee when Force Awakens gets closer more people will hop on.

May I suggest the Bind on Legacy 'Makeb Assault Armor' for your Stormtrooper needs? I can confirm it still has the tiny Imp logo when worn by Repub Trooper :D

Decided to run through the SOR prelude with my sage, since he's been sitting at 55 since 3.0 and I had some time on my hands (read: was drunk on Saturday night and it was early). Combat droid makes the flashpoints comically easy, of course, but combat droid + HK wearing full 192 gear from the Yavin weeklies is just hilarious at 55.

Hell you could make a pretty penny by removing the shoulders from certain armors and selling them on the cartel market

The Enhanced Assailant/Level 50 SW Weaponmaster set has wings on it for God only knows why. Looking at like, Darth Skotia, you see how much better it looks

Well, last time they did 12x it was only active for story missions, but yeah, that was basically enough all on its own.

Rarely drop in cartel packs, very rare drop on the vending machines. They don't come easy, i think I've bought about 20 hypercrates and have about 120 I've gotten.

Yeah the speeder is ugly as all get out but the main thing is the chance for the Mandalore decoration, had to create new chars for about half an hour to get one.

You bastard, I've been making toons all day and still no luck. I've earned almost enough gonk droids for my 11 toons to have one each, I've seen one black/black dye and 2 carbonite chambers go by (they're bound, so can't keep those) but no statue.
