Official Q&A Thread for July 20th Blog Post

With all of the server transfers and locks, one question comes to my mind.

What is the future of SWToR servers? Are you planning on all servers being high population or will there be some available for lighter populations?

Will it ever be possible for us to use the "match to hue" option for something other than our Chest? I ask because many chest pieces only come in a very few, limited amount of colors, and it would be great to be able to match to, say, our helmet, or pants, instead, so that we can get a larger variety of outfit colors! (How does the Match To Chest even work, anyway? Does its current implementation preclude us being able to patch to other armor slots, maybe? Or is this just a conscious design decision?)

Any plans to add a in game loot guide. For example it will show all loot for flashpoints and ops. It will show what boss
the the loot drops from. Also if you hover over a peice of gear it will show the stat change if you equip that peice of
gear.

Will transfering my characters off of Origin servers limit my ability to transfer to other servers later?

I am playing on "Canderous Ordo" but I have toons on "tarro Blood" I want to move over and can not yet.

If I move "Tarro Blood to Corellian Run" will this impact my ability to move them to "Canderous Ordo"

I dont want to move my Toons to a new server to find out that once they have been moved, there stuck on the new server

Generally speaking, I would like to know more about the plans for Character transfers, paid and non paid.

According to this post/response from Joveth Gonzalez its seem you have in the works more consolidation planned
"Hi folks,
Just wanted to hop on here to let you all know that at no point will we be deleting your characters later this summer when we automatically move any remaining characters from origin servers onto designated destination servers. More details about how this will work out will be forthcoming, but I can assure you that automatic character deletion is not going to happen for this upcoming move.
Thanks everyone!"

So my question is when do you plan on opening up server transfers for people who wish to move off their current origin server? I'm not sure the development team took into account how the communities have changed since launch.

It would be nice to be able to choose my destination server for transfer so I can catch up with displaced friends and play with people I know rather than noobs and strangers.

Will there be made any tweaks to Assassin deception spec to make them more viable in both PVE and PVP. At the moment any other dps would be prefered in high end PVE as the deception spec brings very little to the table other than a out of combat CC. Will there be made any tweaks to the surging charge as it is now stacking it to five stacks is useless compared to stacking it up till 2-3 stacks and then discharge as the damage seem to be almost the same.

And last but not least will we be able to get some more info on the upcomming patches.

Is there plans for in the future to give scoundrel damage spec the little boost it needs?

When will black hole offhand items be avaialbe for all classes? Currently there isnt one available for agents

Are there any plans to give more advances classes unique ops buffs so that classes who seem to do lower dps or have lower utility are more desirable in ops settings?

Many tanks in the community are confused about how useful tanking specs and tank gear are in a PvP environment, and this may be because there isn't a way of easily seeing or recording how much damage is mitigated/defended/shielded on yourself or from using guard. Do you expect any quality of life changes coming soon in regards to visually recognizing incoming damage via guard through flytext with some way of showing how much damage you absorb and mitigate?
