1.3 Surprise or really "lean"

They have said LFG and legacy.

I'm going to guess that RWZ and cross server PvP come out before that. The 1.2.5 patch.

LFG and character transferrs will be around the same time because it wont be cross server

All I want in 1.3 is the ability to add augment slots to any of my existing orange gear.

Don't add a hood + mask again on 1.3. I dare you mother****er, I double dare you! Fail to add hood + mask one more gosh darn time!

And then that completely defeats the purpose of the current crafting system...

How about one of the crew skills would take over crafting an augment slot for specific orange gear, like social gears or quest gears, but then would exclude all craftable gear.

My sniper is currently wearing a hood and a mask...

Still can't do it in my Sorcerer and Revan still looks weird in The Foundry due to this same issue.

Yeah because they are catering for the QQers wanting to be spoon fed groups/instances etc......what ever happend to actually doing stuff in an MMo, like socialising, having fun....now it seems BW are just trying to stop these vocal minority from bad mouthing the game. I say that IF they want all these "essential" features, there is a place that already has these..........WoW is that way ======>
I saw the same sort of thing happen in SWG, players put years into getting a massive gear advantage and move to a new game, only to find its a level playing field........Dont try to make this game WoW, it aint.

Although apparentley having these features only turned it into a "LEETist" MMo which is losing subs hand over fist with little room for the new guy. Guess they want thier cake AND want to eat it too.

P.S. I will say one thing about gear lvl etc in groups.......I have seen people have the best kit a game and STILL they pull a Leroy Jenkins........gear score means dick.

amen, but the time this game comes into fruitation, Bioware will be belly up and closed down.... so is the history of EA funded projects... *cough* hellgate london *cough*

It only works for medium armor wearers, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't meant to be implemented at all yet as it is buggy as hell. My nose sticks through my helmet

In all fairness, group finder is probably the single most important thing they will add to this game this year.
