Official Q&A Thread for July 20th Blog Post

Thank you very much for the LFG tool. Can we have an option when exiting area to go back to where we were? That is, I'm often running missions and would like to return to the planet & area that I was in before accepting travel to the FP. I understand the concern about exiting into a pack of mobs, however with a two minute timer to accept the FP, its plenty of time to get safe before accepting the teleport.

I also was wondering this. I mean making a purple should be as easy as using blue and red crystals (with other mats) together to get the color! Even if it cost 4 red and 4 blue to make a purple, I'd be ok with it. We have the pattern for the magenta (light red) but I have yet to see a pattern for any other exotic look for a crystal!

For high end crystals you should need high end crafting mats so for the +41 you should need mats that are harder to obtain. I would love to see a combination of crystals that are used to make colors and then special crystals for high end bonuses.

Will the implementation of Nightmare Mode Denova be accompanied with any additional rewards outside of an inevitable timed run title? I love that the bosses are going to have additional mechanics, but the way I see it, the majority of groups capable of doing nightmare mode are (for the most part) not going to be attracted by an extra piece of campaign or black hole gear. Especially given the high volume of groups that have had hard mode on farm for so long. I know my group will definitely do the title run, but after that, are there going to be any incentives to continue running it?

Do you guys have any plans for Ilum World PvP since it has more or less been "removed" as a part of end-game due to balancing and performance issues? I would like to see it return in some form.

Would it be possible for a future legacy perk to be able to send a sixth companion out on crew skills missions? As of right now, we can only send up to five out at a time.

What might be some of the future legacy perks yall are working on? Quite a few of us are over level 25 with our legacy already!

On the concept of "Legacy". Is there any plans in possibly implementing the family tree into actual gameplay, in the nature of certain boosts or debuffs in relation to class or species dependant upon how it is set up? For example, say a Sith Warrior Human has a Jedi Knight Mirilaka for a son, the extensive knowledge of Mir. enables crits to do 10% more damage than against say a Consulor Twilik?

When will you open up paid transfers to any desired destination instead of a predetermined one? Free transfers are great, but not every destination server selected is desirable for every person. So, when can I pay to have my characters placed in the server I desire?

Can you explain why my female Sith Inquisitor received the title of 'Lord' instead of 'Lady'? This happens both with the actual title, and how my character is addressed throughout her story. In general, there seems to be a lack of female noble titles, such as 'Princess' (with millions of habitable worlds, this should be an option).

Re: PTS Server

Do I take it that developer focus has shifted towards only employing the PTS server when a major patch is upcoming?

If so might I politely ask if it is possible for the (admittedly rather small) group of players who took up your invitation to level our main characters there to allow us to copy/transfer characters onto the consolidated live servers please?

I have now started playing again on a live server, but rather miss my PTS family of characters (legacy level 14 or so)

What's going on with the new orange bracers, belts, boots, and gloves introduced in 1.3 not matching the original pieces in the set? Will this be fixed in a future patch?
