Coruscant is Republic only

Don't know why they did this imo.
Sure, after the attack of the Sith on Coruscant it'll be unlikely to see Sith around there, but
I don't think they should've made Coruscant Republic only..

The opposite is for Dromund Kaas.

Crouscant is the Republic Capital. I know if I was the republic leader I wouldn't want my enemy running around the planet.

I have to agree be a shame to not be able to look around the capital well we got alts for that kind of thing...be to be far it makes sense it would be a republic only area. I understand for rp purposes it would seem limiting but at the end of the day I can live with it, decides we got both sides covered...*sly smile* the GTC is every where, naturally, we have to cater to our clientèle

True but still, wouldn't it be 'nice' to be able to infiltrate the enemies capital, with the risk of 'dying' ofcourse.

hmmm maybe PvP servers will cater to that? Not sure how'd it work I'm not a veteran of MMO's so is just a guess.

Hmm. Though, it's not that bad that only planets will be Republic or Sith only. As long as we can encounter on the other planets .

Hmm well this kinda ticks me off a little bit...I'll tell you why.

Coruscant is the pulsing capital of the Galaxy, with trillions of lifeforms from all walks of life. Anyone can disappear there, and there isn't anything their security forces can do about it, as long as they don't make themselves obvious. In the books, beings from all sides, Sith, Jedi,Bounty hunters, terrorists, whatever...are all there throughout the timeline.

I do understand you can't have thousands of Sith Warriors in full gear parading around the senate district, but maybe they could block off certain areas, or at least have some limited questing in the lower areas. But to keep ALL Imperial players blocked from entering the atmosphere is just wrong.

Honestly I already thought this might happen so I'm not surprised. But Coruscant was the planet I was looking most forward to seeing with my Bounty Hunter, not an Alt. I tend to invest my time in one Character.

We got to face it that Republic Aligned players get all the access to the best Damn planet in the Galaxy, While Imperials get Dromund Kas. And that planet is about as appealing to me as decorating my house like a cold haunted hospital.

Guess I'll be drowning my sorrows on Nar Shadda...my second favorite

Wait what?! How does that not sound awesome?

hmm thinking it through I have to agree with Deirbhile, had similar idea myself but wasn't sure how it would work though but your idea makes sense..would be nice to have at least one mission at least for IA and BH on corusant just make it locked area, one group dungeon etc have to admit would be nice to be able to visit all the planets after after all BH are just rogues and IA are undercover so now real reason why they couldn't walk around republic area's, but I know I'm being picky. Though there has to be two faction divide it seems but would think there would be some flexibly at least but well I'm not had much experience with MMO's so can't really say much. But well we'll see how games goes I guess should be a quite a few neutral areas, criminal area's maybe? after all smugglers and BH and even IA hand around certain area's.

Picture this scenario:

A smuggler just scored a massive haul of credits after his last mission, dangerous and deadly as it was, he inadvertently blew up a shuttle carrying an Imperial Moff. But still escaped with his life and a ton of credits cashed in. Well this of course really pisses off the Imperials and the smuggler effectively receives a death mark on his head. with one of the most massive bounties in galactic history placed on him.

There is no need for the smuggler to spend his life looking over his shoulder however, He can just hang up his blasters on Coruscant and retire. Everything is there he would ever need, why in the world would he want to leave?

Bounty hunters cant go there, because they work for the Imperials, even the masters of darkness and deception back at Imperial intelligence just can't manage to track the smuggler there because the Republic renta cops on Coruscant are on high alert. Makes no sense.

I am reasonable and understand what the Devs are trying to prevent here. I just feel in this case they have chosen a massively lazy way out when simply choosing a path of limitation would have made soo much more sense.

I understand that to give access to one class you would have to give it to them all, but I think that is still possible with some limitations.

According to the polls Coruscant was the planet nearly all players were excited to see, with only a few slightly interested in Dromund Kas. I just think Imperial players are kinda getting the shaft. I even wonder if this development decision could affect some of the faction balance.

I completely agree... accept for the part about Dromund Kass, it still looks pretty cool to me.

I'm not saying Dromund Kass is bad, it's just not for me, I'm sure they took great care in designing it.

My point it's just not as iconic as Coruscant. I'm sure, though maybe to a less extent if Republic players woke up tomorrow and heard they couldn't visit Tatooine at all there would be some annoyed voices out there.

At the Bioware forums you don't really hear the Republic players getting upset about having no access to Dromund Kass, but that's because Dromund Kass is for the most part unkown.

Well yes i understand what you are saying. Coruscant is definitely a ton more iconic than Dromund Kass. I do like the look of Dromund Kass so far but it a pretty big blow to not be able to visit Coruscant.

I can see the reasons for doing this, but they could have done it a little better. Maybe in the future they will change it so as to allow Sith players to visit Coruscant but only certain areas, while in others they would be attacked by guards.

Exactly what I was trying to say. Though I will probably roll as a Trooper, it wouldn't be fun/logical if Imperial players can't visit Coruscant.

I can understand maybe the upper levels being restricted to just Republic classes but the lower lowers make no sense, should be lots of imperials to kill down there.

I heard in an interview that they had already stated that there were some planets that would be faction-only, and I gathered that it would probably include the faction's capitals, but in the same interview they stated that you will be able to visit the opposite faction's faction-only worlds on certain missions, so it wouldn't surprise me that you'll get to go to Coruscant/Dromund Kaas for certain instances.

of course, the ironic thing is that Coruscant will almost certain include Imperial NPCs that the Republic players will take down as part of missions etc.

It's a bit of a blow but at least it's softened somewhat if we can get there for instances as the interview Typho mentions seems to suggest.

If this is true, then I can live with it. But if we wouldn't be able to visit it at all wouldn't be good.

I agreee. Instances would be nice, however I would much rather be able to fully explore the planet... or at least the lower levels.

I'm willing to compromise with an instance to at least get to see it.

I really wish the devs would clarify and not just leave us hanging on such a note.
