Community feedback shows that the majority of players prefer PvE(source) and also want PvE content added to Galactic Starfighter(source). When, therefore, can the majority of your customers expect to see the type of content they prefer(PvE) added to the revamped/free-flight space system?

Why are there still no iconic jedi outfits in the game?, players have asked for this for 2 years.You put in plenty of Sith outfits but jedi looks are ignored, now the game even have lore armors like Marka Ragnos with long sleeves from cartel packs.Why you hating on republic jedi ?

Morfeus641

Will SWTOR ever release a box expansion with a significant amount of new content, or will future expansions continue to be small amounts of new content on digital download? 

Morfeus641

Will the class-specific storylines ever get new post-level 50 content?

azmundai

why do most pvp matches come down to which team has the most healers and why hasn't anything been done since release to balance these matchups?

Morfeus641

Will we ever be able to play some of the iconic species that are already present in the game? (Nautolans, Ithorians, Wookies, Rodians, etc.)

Morfeus641

Will we ever have the option to show health bars overhead without visible names?

slickbizzle

Will they ever consider making their flash points difficulty scale with users in group?  If I want to solo a flash point, I can but if I want to bring in a friend/s the difficulty goes up.

 

 

Morfeus641

What is being done to deal with ability lag & the general lack of immediate responsiveness inherent in in-game functionality?

MatthewC

Any word on new playable species? Have you taken Cel Cawdro's poll and analysis into consideration?

Morfeus641

Are there any plans to further reduce the tediousness of having to transit multiple empty slow-loading zones (I.E. fleet > ship > station > shuttle > planet's surface) to get from place to place?

MatthewC

Will there ever be additional class story in the same vein as the 1-50 experience? Was additional class-specific story ever planned?

Stonedeye

You have any plans in a future  to up-date your engine? We can expect for more open space big planets with less loading screens?

rodingo

Will they ever ditch the PVP stat, "expertise"  ?

Morfeus641

Are there any plans to increase the usefulness & relevance of the Codex?

Morfeus641

Is there any chance we'll ever see Ilum or another open world area become a viable world PVP spot again, and will there be appropriate rewards for engaging in world PVP?

When are you going to add additional value to subscriptions? As in added recipes for crafting (i:e, moddable gear) like some of the stuff you produce for your Cartel Packs, being attainable through questing and such? 

In other words, when are you going to make crafting more viable, besides being a mod crafter? This alone would add value to subscription, not to mention having vet rewards that are NOT cheap hand out of cartel coins.

Morfeus641

Will companion storylines ever continue?

Morfeus641

Are there any plans to allow favorite companions to switch roles, say from DPS to healer?

Morfeus641

Are there any plans to allow PCs to have multiple specs, such as in RIFT or WoW? Field respeccing is pretty tedious by comparison.

That one was already answered with a resounding, "No." They consider those arcs complete. The same nearly goes for class stories, but they've been pussyfooting around coming out and saying it outright.

When are we going to see open world objective based pvp adressed/fixed not instanced or zoned pvp REAL open world objective based pvp I.E capturing capital cities on planets and holding them.

Is there going to be open world space pvp besides instanced space pvp?

Why cant i make my zabrak sith warrior have yellow skin paint like darth savage in the clone wars?

Why have thier been no "events" where shak ti or darth malgus or other lore characters played by a dev happen and causing a random pvp event where both sides can fight trying to kill shak ti or malgus?

When are we gonna get wookies/rodians and other non cookie cutter player races?

The game has needed a 3rd faction for a long time now are people ever going to be given the chance to join the hutt cartel?

 

 

 

atrumael

any plans on doing more with the legacy family tree?

is the problem with certain heads/masks causing hoods to be lowered going to be addresed or is that just how they work?

will there ever be any new classes or the ability to switch sides?

Ice-Queen

Are there any plans to make use of Nar Shadda casino, to make it a real casino area with tables/slots etc that are usable by players.

 

serariel

Will we ever see more social things in the game like player housing or guild housing or at the least ship customization  (not the star fighter ships but our home ships)? Also will ever see mini games like pazaak or swoop racing?
