SWTOR Community Q&A Confirms New Details

A lot of great information came out with last week's Star Wars: The Old Republic Community Q&A Session with SWTOR's Lead Writer Daniel Erickson. Of course, not everyone has the time to sift through those big words, so have a condensed version of what Daniel had to say regarding the various hot topics in SWTOR, and what we can expect in the next big update:

  • Dual-Spec: "Dual spec is in the works and coming soon."
  • Legacy System Unlocking New Species: "The species that will be unlocked in Game Update 1.2 are species currently in the game that will become available to classes and factions [Sith Warrior Twi'leks?] where you haven't seen them before.
  • New PvP Warzone: "The new warzone is enabled for same faction vs. same faction play."
  • Social Gear for Medium and Heavy Armor Characters: "Expect to see the first new gear coming in Game Update 1.2 and some dramatic changes to the social gear system just around the corner."
  • Character Transfers: "Definitely going to be available in the future."
  • More Rare Colour Crystals: "Absolutely. Not just rare items but limited availability items, more treasure hunts and some big surprises for the community to discover."
  • Making Equipment Match: "The new and vastly improved "Hue to Chest" system launches with Game Update 1.2."
  • Target of Target: "Yes. Target of target on primary target and party frames will be part of Game Update 1.2."
  • ... and probably the most important news: Making the Bug Report Shortcut Key Unbindable: "Yes! This will be addressed in a weekly patch in the very near future."

So there you have it, some great answers from Daniel Erickson (although a few answers were clear dodges, you can read them all hear), and if you want to submit your own questions to the next community Q&A, head over to the official thread for the February 17th, 2012 Q&A forum post.
