Official Q&A Thread for July 20th Blog Post

All classes have a lot of things to minimize theirs weakness, sage have the worst survivabilty i've ever seen on a MMO. This glass cannon thing do not work, cos' it's much more glass than cannon. You do not make that huge dps to justify be made of glass. Do you have plans to improve sage defenses?

I am concerned with the state of Combat Medics in PvE. I have seen no feedback from Bioware regarding them. Does this mean that you consider Combat Medics are performing on target or there are still changes being considered?

When I use the Twi'lek racial ability "parlor dance", about half the time I get a normal dance that is available to all (as a standard emote) instead of the unique racial dance. Are there any plants to fix this so that only the unique dance is used for this racial ability?

I'm not sure if this has been answered before and if it has I'd appreciate somebody pointing me in the direction of the answer, but after messing around with random gear on my sith warrior today, I put on a piece with alacrity on it and noticed that it affected force choke but it did not affect ravage. Is there a reason it doesn't affect it even though it has a cast/channel time?

Currently all the quests in the game are a bit grindy, such as kill x, collect y etc. (don't get me wrong the story is awesome). However will there be future plans to implement more "fun" quests where the players can interact with the models and designs that your team as gone into long lengths of work. Such as Chasing the enemy's on speeders and shooting them off, capture a walker and actually blow up enemy strongholds etc. This would make questing more enjoyable and do something like this for dailies so that players can do it more then once!

When can we expect to hear more about same-gender relationships with companions? The last we heard about this was at the Guild Summit back in March, and that was only confirmation that it was still in the works. Many people are still looking forward to this feature, and would like to know more. In particular, I would like to know if any current companions will be available for same-gender relationships. I would also like to know if having a companion character at a high or maximum affection level will cause problems with starting a relationship with that character.

Thank you.

I would love to know about the inclusion of Same Gender Romances. I know that RP and story are major focuses of this game, and I would love to have these options for my characters soon. If we could possibly get an estimate for this addition I know that a large percentage of the players would love to hear it.

When will Cybertech be able to make tanking mods?

Will it be possible to create another Legacy on the same account? Like you can create another Legacy other than your 'original' one, then assign your characters to that one?

When will I be able to gamble or play casino games in Nar Shadda?

I see large and beautiful casino floors where I can talk to a few NPCS with regards to class/ planet quests. It seems like such a wonderful place to enhance the in-game community and give a more immersive experience into the shady underworld of Nar Shadda!
