Hey folks,

Quick update, the Conquest post is in process and should be posted sometime this week. I know you all have questions about what is coming, info should be out soon. I will make it as a standalone thread to talk through any follow-up questions!

Thanks.

Thank you for providing us the eagerly anticipated roadmap. Having spent much of my IT career in software development, I know just how much work goes into deciding what to add, remove, and change in any production environment. That being said, there's quite a few QoL issues being brought up that I didn't see mentioned. Have you guys discussed with the team some of the items below, and where that might fit into the 2018 roadmap, or beyond?

  1. Account-wide ignore feature going in both directions to help manage/mitigate the toxicity of public chat channels in the absence of in-game moderation. (And along with that, the removal of the cap on the Ignore list.)
  2. Right-click report feature for exploiting/hacking in WZs that captures the necessary server logs to verify cheating occurred so that the player isn't required to basically stop playing in order to submit a ticket or take supporting screenshots that they then submit directly to Eric or Keith.
  3. Stronghold decoration maintenance/updates, to include a hook capacity increase for flagships from 800 to 1000. (This area of the game is sorely in need of attention: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=921318)
  4. Guild interface improvements. (There was a really good suggestion thread on this but I can't find it now.)

Thanks again for the exciting news and your continued commitment to this game we all love.
Hey there. All excellent suggestions, so thanks for the ideas. Here's my thoughts on each:
  1. Account-wide ignore feature and ignore list cap - I like the account wide idea and we'll look into the Cap. What we may find is we need to automatically clean up your list and remove those accounts which are no longer part of TOR such as banned Advertisers.
  2. Right-click report feature for exploiting/hacking in WZs - not sure why we don't already have that in place. Will ask the team to investigate.
  3. Stronghold decoration maintenance/updates - we'll look into it.
  4. Guild interface improvements - Already on our list. I met with some players at our New York Cantina and they followed up with a ton of ideas. We've had many discussions about Guild Management, along with additional ideas on Guild engagement activities. It's not yet on the Production schedule, but it's an excellent Quality of Life improvement where all Guilds benefit.

just in case you missed an earlier post of mine. Is there any chance you could answer how these new powerful Augments will affect pvps gear discrepancy.
Do you have plans to alter Bolster up again or will you put a cap on how many extra stats the Augments will give in pvp?
Check for this info when I get out the detailed breakdown on the new augments. If it isn't covered, please ask and I will look for clarification then. I will make a note though to try to ensure that information is conveyed.

Ah! Good question. Since we opted to do the forum version of the roadmap, where we can hang around in here and continue to answer questions, we don't see as big of an urgency to do a livestream ASAP. Since they can serve a similar purpose of Q&A around the roadmap.

Our current plan is that we will do a stream closer to the launch of 5.8. This way we can showcase some things from 5.8, answer questions about that update, 5.9, the roadmap, and beyond. In the meantime we are gonna continue working to address questions around the roadmap here on the forums. Along with releasing more details about the things that are coming in 5.8 and 5.9 as mentioned in the roadmap like conquests, augments, class changes, CM changes, etc.

Can confirm that 5.9 will mark the end of the traitor storyline. I am not going to answer the second question, you will just have to see how things play out. Similarly, we won't really answer many Theron related questions as to avoid any 5.9 spoilers .

My questions to Keith and Eric:

The roadmap mentioned a complete revamping of conquest. I know you said a forum post or blog would come out eventually that would explain it a bit more. But..... Ive got a guild full of very conquest focused members who are kind of freaking out about this. They and Im sure a good portion of us here in this forum post, are worried what the revamping all entails.

1) Will it turn out similar to CXP where literally every npc you kill gives you a tiny bit of conquest points? Or is it just more objective focused like adding a few dailies areas to the objective board.

2) How will this effect Crafting Weeks? At the beginning of conquest, crafting weeks used to be months in between each other, now they are merely weeks apart. This doesnt give many guilds, especially small guilds, a chance to renew their resources to max efficiency. Will we see Crafting weeks go back to their original schedules? Or will they be completely eliminated by the new revamped version of conquest?

3) Are you removing any current Objectives or Events? Are you adding any entirely new Events and or Planets?

4) Have you considered giving out the weekly rewards as soon as the conquest week ends instead of on Tuesday at restart? This would eliminate the chance of guilds kicking members on Monday to ensure those members dont receive their weekly guild rewards which happens fairly often.

Thank you!
These are all great questions! I am going to be posting a separate write-up about the Conquest changes. I don't have timing yet but it shouldn't be too far away. We can then address and Conquest questions in that thread.

Thanks!

SHARETHELOVE Question

The account actually doesn't need to be inactive (not used) they just need to not have subscribed in the last 90 days.
Highlighting Owen's response for accuracy. I will reiterate as well to try to make sure the promotion is as clear as possible!

For the extra 30 days of sub time an account must...
  • Have not been a subscriber within a 90 day window before 2/13 (the legal copy is referring to sub time when it says inactive).
  • If they qualify based on that, they must become a subscriber and redeem the code SWTORSHARETHELOVE by 2/27
  • By 3/2 they will then receive an extra 30 days of sub time added to their account.

For the Chiss speeder and armor set an account must...
  • Simply be a subscriber on 2/27 to qualify.
  • The items will be granted to you on or before 3/2.

I hope that clears up any confusion!

and appart on this, i regret to dont see anymore old lvl 50 belsavis "unique companions weapon rewards" with former daily end level quests.
Apologies for any confusion. I meant within the context of the question being asked, which was specifically the 5.8 and 5.9 Companions. None of their weapons are being changed.

And if so, can you explain why these changes were made?
None of the returning Companions have had their weapons changed. They will be the same as they were before.

Apologies if this has been asked:

Are the companion returns:

1. Class locked: only the original class can get them?
2. Story progression locked: similar to Corso/Risha and Andronikos, have to have KotET finished in order to get them?

Thanks.
Hey there, following up on Eric's investigation about this yesterday. The companion returns are based on finishing Chapter 9 of KOTET and they return to their original class. There is one exception...

Arcann Romance? After chapters? Or during?

It will appear as an Alliance Alert. You must have completed KOTET and have him as a Companion to get the alert.

Thanks!
