Official Q&A Thread for July 20th Blog Post

Is there anyway that we can get the Companion's unique armor in maybe an orange shell? Our companions have some really cool looking armor that is unique to them and I would love to be able to deck them out in that armor. Plus, it seems that you can never get a full set of it, anyway to fix that?

Ok, for the fourth time guys:

There are a lot of clipping issues with social gear and such that are very disconcerting and nearly ruin the clothing. For example, the back of the neck of the elegant top clips through the neck and the bottom of the Voss top clips front and back when you wear it with pants.

Do you have nay plans to fix these clipping issues?

What upgrades to Group Finder can we expect soon?

When you will add more character slots? 8 slots are not enough.

I've read that announcements were made in early 2012 which stated that same-gender romance options would be implemented in the game, or at the very least properly announced within this same year, yet nothing substantial has been heard about this staple of BioWare roleplaying freedom since launch - when can be expect some more detailed info about SGR content?

Big picture question: (within reason and allowing that you're rather over-worked) can SWTOR (i.e. your extension / development of the Hero Engine.. do you even call it the Hero Engine anymore?) in the future support things like physics effects - say for example variations in gravity or perhaps even environmental effects?

(... and perhaps by extension, more realistically varied and 'hostile' worlds that spacefaring civilisations would invariably inhabit / visit).

Talent trees and Roles are weary dinosaurs of the game industry, is BW giving any (serious) thought to alternatives?
(... which somewhat leads into my next question.. hint hint..)

Despite their infamous nature, does BW look forward to one day incorporating stances (not necessarily stance-dancing) or at least more dynamic components of some kind into the game?


Is there any chance of Parkour style animations for our characters in the future (yes, anything's possible 'in the future'); the existing tumble is a great touch but I'd love to see our characters be more athletic (as I dare suggest they're frequently portrayed in various sources).

When can we expect GTN with ALL options working ("usable by me", level filtering for those items that are level 1 but require higher level for using them, items are darkened when you really can't use them and not almost every time, ...)? in short ... GTN that was not made by 5 a year old.

Will we see same gender relationships implemented this year?

When will cross-server queues for instances and warzones be available?

Is there still going to be a Mac version of the game? I had read that it was a idea to have it come out after a while, so what me and a lot of other people were wondering is, is it still a idea and will we be seeing TOR on a mac? i know a lot of mac users want to see one come out and not have to play on a windows version only. even tho they can bootcamp it but that's really not the ideal way to have to play this game. I myself am playing on my laptop because that's the only windows that i have and playing on a laptop isn't really the best way to be playing games unless it's built for that reason.
