Official Q&A Thread for February 10th, 2012 Q&A Blog Post

Are you guys planning on adding Guild Space Stations Or Guild Flagships? It would be like a guild base and it's a cool idea

Will there be any factions to gain reputation with and if so will there be cool and unique ways to garner reputation for unique pets, vehicles, items, etc... for said factions?

Simply having other things to do than flashpoints, operations and pvp all day would increase longetivity in my opinion.

Will rated warzones be cross server?

Judging by Iron Citadel's very active PVP enthusiests (hope the devs watch our tournements) the top spot will be a trade between 2 guilds. I would be a pleasure to pit our skills against other server's best.

Any ETA on making raid-tiered equipment mods removable? (e.g. Columni armor mods, etc.)

Is SWTOR ever going to put chat bubbles in the game?

when will the war zones counting as a win problem be fixed?

Is the current lack of a dedicated bounty hunter interrupt intended or is that something we can look forward to having in the future?

When (or if) local Oceanic servers are launched will free transfers be provided on a character by character basis (i.e. you won't be forced to move all of the characters on your account) ?

Could we get a rough timeline estimate of additional features/content that will be added in the short term ? (6 months - 12 months)


There are a lot features and content that have been promised, but most of them have not been given any sort of a time frame, would love to know which feature/content we can look forward to first, now I know these things will change constantly but would just like a general idea

For example things like:
* UI Customization
* Legacy System
* End Game Gear customization (being able to remove mods)
* New Flash points / Operations
* Addtional Warzones (just timeframe)

If a timeline is not possible/feasible how about a list of features/content we can hope to see in 1-3 months time ?

I know it has been mentioned already, but when can we expect some sort of combat log and threat meter?

The combat log doesn't have to be real-time, I don't mind parsing the data from a text file afterwards. But not being able to crunch numbers to improve my rotation and play is really limiting my enjoyment of the game. Having a quantifiable way to measure my improvement (or lack there of) is one of the things I enjoy most about MMOs.

The threat meter is a nice to have so we can see how well the tanks are doing against the dps and healers. This would help better manage my guild's utilization of threat-reduction abilities.

Thank you!
