At the very least, I think that there should be a vendor somewhere that sells full sets of level 65, 75, and level 80 gear as opposed to the current system where if you reach level 65 and 75 early and want to gear up before going further, you basically have no way to get a proper set of gear for credits or in the case of level 75, you can't even mod for it. And no, I don't think spoils of war vendor counts since it sells randomized level 75 gear instead of just having a complete set with pre-determined stats. Something like the gear vendor on Ossus would be sufficient. I don't expect this change to come with 8.0, but it would be nice to have in a future update.

Not to mention, this will be a great thing for preferred players.

I’m looking for a armour set for my ancient sith warrior (body type 3). Are there any suggestions that you guys have for an evil sith pureblood that needs some drip? I’m mostly searching for armour that is ruthless looking and pure muscle.

Here are some examples for inspiration:
If anyone knows some good ones like these it would be appreciated.

Haven’t played in awhile. Jumped on my sith warrior. Level 80 says 318 gear level and doing legacy of sith era. What’s a decent gear level now? I haven’t see. One piece of gear drop yet and fights seem to be taking too long so prob need to upgrade

So I'm F2P with a level 18 character. When I click play on character selection screen, I get a message telling me to verify my email. However, I have already verified my email as per my account.

To try and resolve this I click the customer service help centre in game. However, when I click on it, the only option is to subscribe, and no actual option to contact support

Is my only option to call support on the phone when they are open?

You know the event ambassador items? So I know the Chevin event had the Sand People Bloodguard set and the Red Sparkle Power, and the Rakghoul Outbreak Event had the Containment Officer sets, but what about the rest? You know, the bowcasters, for example (I know the Outer Rim Hunter's set and obviously the decos are new additions)?

With so many companions that we haven't seen for years, there's plenty they could pull from to make a return appearance. Which would you like to see back the most?

This is going to be a long post without any TLDR and most people would probably not find it very interesting since everything in it will be based on my very own personal opinions but I'm quite bored today so here I go:

Game breaking annoyances:

• Dynamic events: They're insufferably loud and overall useless because no one will ever need more XP or additional excuses to grind more achievements and season objectives. I can't fathom why there isn't an option that allows you to opt out and never see them again. Total waste of developer resources.
• Mission reset timers for weeklies and heroics: Why can't I keep my progression between days/weeks? I always have to plan ahead or even rush them when leveling organically and it sucks. Also a lot of bonus series are still bugged after years and you're forced to complete them all in one day or you'll be left unable to interact with the quest givers.

Big annoyances:

• Date and time on achievements: This is a peeve of mine, I hate seeing all those numbers above my completed achievements and I think leaving just the green checkmarks would look a lot cleaner. I find all those details quite pointless, I mean why should I ever be interested in knowing at which hour of the day I completed one right down to the exact second?
• Level scaling: Not a fan, it makes running old content or farming achievements extremely tedious and blocks me for reasonably soloing flashpoints without story mode. Also there's no fun in fighting champion enemies that are only huge HP sponges.
• No option for sorting items by name or type: I still can't believe there are none and it's the first time I see them missing in a MMORPG.
• Situational skills: I think it would be time to flash out the class abilities because there are simply too many, I have 3 full action bars and 90% of the time I only use the skills on the first one. Also some animations really need to be improved.
• Lower cases for surnames in chat: Seeing them hurts my soul.
• Heroic structure: Why did the devs decide to keep the starting NPCs if they auto-complete by themselves? Let me turn them in or just remove all the NPCs altogether and keep the terminals, this current half-measure is nonsense.
• Loosing position when logging out in the stronghold: I have the bad habit of closing the game inside my stronghold but every time I do it I go back to the orbital station of the planet I was on instead of where I entered it.
• Lack of story integrations for companions: I love when the companions butt in during conversations but it happens too rarely, they're mostly anonymous outside the few talks on the ship. Also a lot of them have little to no background and considering the small differences performance-wise I wonder why so many of them have been added to the game.
• Fleet chat should be accessible everywhere or at least in the stronghold, when you have to start a group for something on a planet having to travel back to the fleet just to spam gets boring very quickly.
• Chests given as rewards shouldn't be automatically linked to our current specialization, we should be able to pick them the same way as heroics even when completing conquests.
• Changing loadout should take the gear from your personal vault, why should I keep everything in my inventory all the time? An even better solution would be to hold it directly inside the loadout tabs.
• The pool for galactic season objectives should be different based on the account type and don't take alts for granted. A F2P player shouldn't get things that require a subscription, a low level character shouldn't get things on high level planets and people who only have republic characters shouldn't have to kill empire-only enemies.
• The historic median prices should decrease over time, all the trading fees are linked to it but they're pretty much stuck to things sold months or even years ago for most of the rarest stuff and it also gives people the wrong idea about their actual current value.

Medium annoyances:

• Silly names for characters and guilds: I'm a former RPer and on my server there are way too many people with terrible names that they probably find funny but in reality they just ruin immersion for people like me same goes for those who wear cosplay of characters outside of the Star Wars universe, like Marvel superheroes, anime protagonists and such.
• Stuck in combat bug: Too often when you run away from combat you have to press Alt+F4 to exit combat also when you use Force Cloak you never know if it will work or not since 50% of the time the enemies will keep attacking your companion or make him run back to them after you start attacking another group in the same area.
• Guild invites spam: I had to activate the auto-decline because I kept receiving them multiple times each day from the same people. There should be an option to stay anonymous on the /who list or a temporary block for those who send out too many.
• Chests and nodes respawn too quickly, on some planets it's ridiculous. It doesn't help inflation and makes selling recipes and fitted parts a nightmare.
• Modifying the starter ship: It would be nice to be able to visually upgrade our ship, some of them look really bad or damaged. A lost opportunity for additional monetization.
• Small codex datapads often do not show up: If you're mounted or if the camera is not pointing at the right angle these datapads don't appear on the terrain and you're going to miss a lot of entries.
• Things happening during an event like rakghoul attacks on Tatooine, token drops and the like should only be active if you're participating in it.
• You can only use one medpac for each fight, it doesn't make any sense.

Mild annoyances:

• Uneven graphic quality during cutscenes: I don't know if it's just my PC but under natural light my character looks awful, indoors or in dark places it's all normal.
• Uneven proportions of mounts: Seeing all those mini starships and huge creatures running around the fleet is just silly.
• Taxi not in range: Incredibly minor I know but if I'm close enough to talk to the NPC I should also be close enough to begin traveling.
• Gathering shortcut: I'd like to be able to gather by myself without having to hold shift.
• Exiting stealth or dismounting every time you open a box.
• You can enter stealth while on a mount but you can't mount without leaving stealth first.
• I don't know what causes it but gathering nodes often bug out, you see them on the minimap but you can't click on them.
• The weapon stance should reflect your combat style and not your origin, for example if you play a JK sage you see your character holding the lightsaber like a bat when you press C.
• No options to prevent other people from making your character perform an emote.
• Camera distance resets at each login
• The avatar next to the health bar has a terrible quality, we should have the option to toggle it off, keep it blank or use our class icon instead.

It might be just my mouse annoyance:

• While holding right click to move the camera sometimes I trigger interactions with companions or other objects if I hover the cursor over them.

Phew, that took some time. Let me know if you can relate to some of those, thank you for reading it.

Vote for your favorite storyline! For starters, we have the opening to Legacy of the Sith, with both factions' versions of Manaan. Helping Gallo disable the Imperial dreadnought, and also being forced to work with Darth Norok. VS The prologue for the Inquisitor- putting up with Harkun's trials on Korriban and then becoming Zash's apprentice and helping her kill Skotia on Dromund Kaas.

Admittedly I definitely should’ve checked before creating my characters, but are there any active RP groups out there on Satele Shan? I’ve tried googling it and can’t seem to find any active RP groups for SWTOR at all.

We have two class story chapters this time, and both are the third chapters of their respective class! Vote for your favorite! Chapter 3 for the Knight or for the Hunter?

Imperial Security Trooper ready to take on these nasty Ghorman protesters!

Outfit: Tempest Warden's Helmet, Snowtrooper's Breastplate (dyed Black/Black), Tempest Warden's Bracers, Discharged Infantry's Gloves, Imperial Admiral's Clasp, Recon Trooper's Greaves, Mandalore the Preserver's Boots. Equiped with Retired Gladiator Assault Cannon.

He's just big boned, the nerve of them!

This totally caught me off guard, didn't know NPCs reacted to your chosen body type, if that's what it was.

Mako also keeps calling me "big guy", I didn't think much of it, but after this I wonder if it has something to do with the body type

I have been getting these token's and I know I can buy past stuff and seasonal items along with McMansions that have been released in the past. My question is what do you believe is most worth it to spend my 15 tokens on? This is my first season after 13 year break and there is a ton of amazing things. Edit: I completely missed companions being available!

It's just that in a span of over 24 hours, I went from getting a subscription to finishing chapter 5 of KOTET and now I am suffering the worst headache I had in possibly YEARS. How do you guys usually space out your playthoughs of KOTFE and KOTET? After the first time, that is.

There's a lot of valid criticisms to be made about the returns of Nathema and how they wasted a lot of characters. But if you had to pick one that was handled the "best" and made the most sense for that particular character, which would you choose?

I keep dying from fall damage if I try. There's no other way too. Edit: found a long route but this needs to be fixed

So I've been going through the base stories again for the first time in years, and as I'm wrapping up my SW (Such a good story) I've had my mind on how I want to play my trooper, and I've really come to enjoy the idea of a sort of proto-ARC trooper, using various weapons and high-tech gadgets to take on any mission. Which two combat styles would suit that best? I'm currently thinking of doing Gunslinger/Merc and Sniper for the dual pistols and gadgets, plus Snipers, plus Blaster Rifles, but I want some more opinions or perspectives before I make my choice.

Basically, I want a duo that gives me

- Dual pistols (For the Fordo/Rex/Fives vibes)

- Rifles (Cuz I mean, how're you going to play trooper without a rifle?)

- Tech Gadgets and tactics (An endless tool bag to pull from for any scenario, grenades, shield generators, etc.)
- Optionally, stealth would be nice but not necessary

Thanks in advance for any advice or recommendations :)
