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

This is about the Legacy system. I currently have 5 chars 4 of which are lvl 50 and the 5th is getting there my question is as such.

Once the legacy system comes in and we get options for new looks on char creation for specific races, (if they are in the legacy system) will we have a way of adding them and altering our chars looks with the new unlocked looks.

Or will we be restricted to only using them on new alts and if so will there be a way to add more character slots available to a server and restricting char creation on other servers.

Thanks.

I am a Jedi Consular and would like to use an Electrostaff instead of a Lightsaber. Currently, many abilities require you to have a Lightsaber equipped to use the ability. I know this is probably not one of the questions that will be answered (and rightfully so) but I just wanted to get it out in the open.

Will snipers/gunslingers get a range advantage? 5ms doesnt seem to be an advantage on any pve or pvp scenario considering our DPS is not nigher than other DPS classes, just high alpha, technically, we have the lowest defense and comparable DPS to other DPS classes. I would recommend ATLEAST 40m of sniping distance at lvl 22-ish, because 35m is not a sniper, thats a marksman, heck I would recommend 50m, but I think it may be a bit overboard. In PVP we die 1 vs 1 no matter who your fighting or what class your fighting if the level is equal unless we work way extra hard to win, I really would like to see extra range mostly because its fun, please consider it if possible! <3

Is there any plans to to give operatives more party support utility? Atm all of their specs seem to be one trick ponies and provide little to no utility to their group outside of just being a dps or healer. Other DPS and healing classes seem to bring more to the table.

Any chance of increasing the server population caps by at least fivefold?

I play on a "full" server, whose Chapter 3 planets are sparsely populated even during peak hours. For instance: Hoth, Belsavis or Voss with fewer than 30 players. Heroics & Flashpoints are frustrating to organize with such a small pool of players available.

When will we get macros and groups stay together after warzones?

Will you give us the function for a member/officer/guildmaster to invite your own alt
so that you log on with that alt you will get and invite ?

This is my one question:

We all know the developers at BioWare are working hard at developing new content, but I would like to ask, how important is it for BioWare to add new game systems instead of reusing the ones currently in the game?

Has there been any discussion on introducing a hood toggle or if not maybe introducing unhooded heavy armor in the near future for Jedi Knights? Maybe making unhooded ones of current heavy armor perhaps?

What happened to the armor appearances that were removed prior to the Thanksgiving Beta Weekend? Why were they removed, and will they be returning to the game soon/at all?
