Suggestion Box: SWTOR playing time

This week’s topic of debate is the amount of time you spend playing SWTOR. With Diablo 3 released this week, there’s a lot of people who seem to have taken a breather from SWTOR to kill their wrist clicking a mouse to move their hero round some dark dungeons and cathedrals. Once people have had their fill of that, there’s plenty of other games coming up.

So it’s over to you: compared to say 3 months ago, are you playing SWTOR as much as previously, more than previously or is it playing second fiddle to something else?

Suggestion Box: Getting a Friend on Board

With all the news and debate this week about subscriber numbers, it’s a good time to get some feedback on how people tend to tell their friends about the game and maybe even convince them to jump in and have a go.

Have you successfully convinced a skeptical friend to give SWTOR a try? If so, post away in comments on what you did!

Suggestion Box: 1.3 must-haves

Now that Patch 1.2 has dropped and we’re all happily checking out new content and features, it’s time to focus on what’s next. And what better way than asking you what you think should be coming up in the next big update.

Whether it’s something you thought should have been in 1.2, a feature that you know is on the developer’s roadmap, or something totally out of left field, we want to hear about it.

Post away in comments so we can keep the merciless fan-driven demand for features in SWTOR going!

Suggestion Box: SWTOR Easter Eggs!

For a lot of us it’s time for a four-day weekend, likely to be filled with the odd few minutes of SWTOR. If you can drag yourself away from eating chocolate and/or playing the game, we’d love to hear about your ‘easter eggs’. Not the round chocolate variety but those unexpected little gameplay treasures you’ve stumbled across in SWTOR.

It might be a glitch, a Star Wars in-joke or a particularly striking piece of scenery: what easter eggs have you found in-game that have made you smile?

Suggestion Box: 1.2 Class Changes

It’s time for our weekly issue of contention. As always, we love it when you jump in and make some passionate points. This week, let’s talk about the imminent 1.2 update.

More specifically, the class changes: have any of the class changes made you more or less likely to get immersed in that class? Whether it’s your primary toon or a neglected alt – do the upcoming changes impact how you perceive that class in-game?

Fire away!

Suggestion Box: Game Update 1.2 Drop Date?


It’s hump day +2 so it must be time for an instalment of Suggestion Box. This week it’s all about the much-anticipated 1.2 update for SWTOR. It’s going to contain a bog-load of new stuff, not least of which is the legacy system.

That’s all set in concrete, but one thing we don’t know is when 1.2 will drop, so let’s start guessing.
When do you think 1.2 will hit?

Suggestion Box: Refer an Imaginary Friend

Ahh, the weekend. Even if you work on weekends, it has that more relaxed vibe usually, so it suits this week’s Suggestion Box topic: referring friends.

In case you hadn’t heard, SWTOR now has a refer-a-friend feature, allowing up to three of your friends to try out SWTOR for seven days for free.

So: ignoring totally your actual friends, who would you invite out of anyone worldwide to try the game out? Assume that whoever you invite will accept and play for the seven days. Be as creative / cynical / harsh as your weekend vibe allows ;)

I’ve chosen:

My boss: in the hope I’ll then be paid to play SWTOR as a business exercise

George Lucas: who wouldn’t want to thrash him in PvP or a duel?

Julian Assange: he’d so be rolling an Agent or Smuggler.

So let’s hear yours!

Oh – and we’d love it if you could fill out our reader survey – there’s a t-shirt prize on offer ;)
