Official Q&A Thread for June 15th Blog Post


Recommended Posts

While there has been no indication of any adjustments to the character creation process, I am wondering whether the dev team is thinking, or would think, about turning it into something much more flexible. Is there a chance we could see "slider" physiques and a separation of more details into their own categories, for example?

Are there any plans to make belts and armguards fully modifiable like other gear? As it stand orange belts/armguards are not really used a lot, as it is very hard or impossible to get competitive armoring mods to put in them and make them as good as higher tier purples.

This is a bit off topic and as such i do not expect an answer right away concerning it. It concerns the current light saber system i think on the whole that there should be at least some diversity in the stances one takes when you switch forms as it stands its always the same stance. These visual cues are just for show to the player however everyone around him would instantly know which form he is in. This is also useful for communication no longer having to ask or assume what form someone is using. It also adds depth, especially on the dual wielding type who's stances mostly depend on tree. Also i do not think that the setup of light sabers only being used by certain classes is accurate most force users. (Sith or Jedi) Choose there own style of light saber despite there specialization. I know this is heavy into game mechanics and would take a while to implement. But i would like to know if anything like that at all has ever been discussed thank you.

With the implementation of "smart" aoe attacks for tanks, why are there still no smart aoe heals that only target the lowest health group members?

 

On a related note, why no changes for healers at all in 1.3? All 3 heal specs are balanced fairly well and are capable of healing current content, and most healers will agree with that. However, the biggest issue most healers complain about is "usability," which is an area the devs have specifically stated they want to work on.

What's the drop rate of Jedi Battlelord gear? I have spent days killing level 48 champions on Corellia, without a singel Battlelord drop. Treasure hunting lockboxes haven't dropt anything either. It looks to me that the only way to get the Battlelord set is by buying it on GTN, where a piece often costs about 300k.

Will biochem be able to make augment kits for implants? Will artifice be able to make augment kits for relics?

 

Or are augment kits not available for these slots? Or will other crafts make the kits?

Now meanwhile you level up you get to experiensing a couple of flashpoints normalmode up along from 10 to 49.

After that when you hit 50 there is no reasoning to do it. Sadly this leaves the flashpoints to rust, and forgotten. The most of us leveling solo didn't even get the chance to experiencing those flashpoints due lack of LFG-tool.

 

My question to you is if you have any plans for making a hardmode version out of these 'newbie' flashpoints? I know for a fact alot of the people in the community would really appriciating seeing these 'old' flashpoints brought back to life, with new difficulity, gear, animations and new spells.

It looks like the LFG Tool will limit the FP's we can queue for to those within our level range. This may handicap those who have skipped a large number of FP's and have effectively outlevelled that FP's range. Will they be able to queue for FP's below their level range and if not, why not?

A question for fellow completionists, there is currently a good amount of bugged codex entries out there. Could we get some kind of update on when the codex entries/titles from that will be fixed? Speaking of Codex entries, will there be any new datacrons and other codex associated stuff added in later? Maybe a cool title for collecting all the datacrons?

Regarding Server transfers and names.

 

Including this game, I've had the same game name through 4 games and 15 years of play. I did everything that I could to insure that I was able to maintain that in this game. The guild that I'm currently leading came over from Wow and we all carried our old names.

 

Though the server transfers are a positive has there been any discussion or ideas that would allow us to maintain our names should we have to move? Any options such as hyphens, middle initials (single letter words such as "A", or "I" not withstanding)?

 

For many of us, I am sure, this is a big issue.

I've Seen alot of talk About SGR on the forums lately, (same gender relasionships) and hearing alot of players in my guild actually and server in general holding off leveling alts now for either this reason, or the fact they are waiting for the Cathars to become playable,

 

any uppdate on when either Cathar or SGR will be comming to us?,

as for Cathar, late this year towards winter or now to the summer months?

I play all 3 tank classes, specced and geared.

 

I would like to know why there is such a disparity between Jedi Knight / Juggernaut tanks and the other 2 tank classes as far as lack of defenses vs internal / elemental dmg, coupled with lowest health (endurance) of the 3. This leads to this particular tank class spec to not "feel" like a tank in PvP.

 

What is the reasoning behind this design or when can we see this addressed ?

What plans are in the works for a side-kicking/mentoring system being implemented? I want to bring some friends into the game, but don't want to roll a new character I'm not interested in to play with them.

How do armor debuffs work? Do they allow for more damage from other players besides the one who put the debuff on the target? If two characters of the same class put an armor debuff on do they both allow for more damage or does only one take effect while calculating damage?

 

For example, would a raid do more damage to a boss if it had 3 unique armor debuffs opposed to no armor debuffs?

 

I'd like an extremely technical detailed response including the armor formula with the debuff factor added and damage claculating formulas.

 

And yes this is an actual issue that people want to know about so I'd really like it to be answered. Pretty please with force mind trick on top.

As much as I love taking part in endgame PVE FPs and Ops, currently I'm finding myself at a loss of what to do a lot of the time. To clarify... I'm in a small, close-knit guild from a previous MMO. Due to boredom/summer/other games we are struggling to do Ops. Guildies are not logging in, opting to do other things. I know it's been discussed before, what this game really needs is something besides dailies, FPs, and alt grinding. We need fun. MINIGAMES!

The SW universe has a wealth of ideas for alternate amusement. Races, casino games, etc.

Do you have any plans to expand in this direction? Several other MMO's have successfully kept players MORE interested with minigames. As well as a craft-skill to make items for player housing (ships in our case), to give players a sense of individuality that goes beyond just the look of the character they are playing.

 

I'm just asking you to look beyond "that" game for ideas. Check out what EverQuest 2 has done over the past few years for example.

Are there any plans in the future to have an option to switch off the mandatory midriff on the female character outfits? I've seen them previewed on female characters before (and Ashara's looks great, because hers show up without the midriff like all of the male character models) . It'd be a nice step to balancing some of the unequal gender discrepancies in the game. Not to mention it's a little weird to be rocking a halter top on Hoth. ;)

At the guild summit you talked about that you are aware of the static feeling of planets. What are the things you plan to do to improve the immersion on planets? Will Makeb be an improvement over the old planets (e.g. day night cycle, Skyrim type NPCs) and will old planets get improved in the future? Also, will exhaustion zones always be a part of the experience?

With the Interface Editor and the Group Finder implemented, the UI team should be ready t finally finish chat bubbles. When can we finally expect the UI team to finish their work on chat bubbles and bring them live? A rough estimate on which patch you are aiming at would be alright. Edited by Glzmo
