So.. 1.3! What do we know?

[garion55]

Anything yet?

I guess some additional legacy stuff (love the Coming Soon button)

there was leak supposedly of 1.3 - 1.7 stuff thats coming if i remember right. what was in 1.3? have the devs made any official statements?

I really am enjoying the state of the game after 1.2. the graphics now are amazing and the ui editor is nice.

i cant imagine that 1.3 is going to have as much stuff with it though.

dungeon finder was promised for 1.3. what Id like to see: a new operation, rakghoul themed, to give this plot a glorious ending and let it rest for good after that
. the most important thing is that it should come out in 3 momths at the latest. 2 months would be perfect, it doesnt neet to be as big as 1.2.

There are only 2 things I want to see SOON. One is server transfers, don't care if they are paid, I just want to get off my ghost town of a server. Second is a LFG tool for Flashpoints.

Really? Source?

If that's true and it's cross-server grouping then levelling flashpoints just get a lot more viable. Right now it's...uh, not doable.

I heard that roomer as well. Do you have a source for this?

From what I heard it will be server only, which is fine if I can move to a higher pop server. But again, I have no source, so cant confirm.

LFD server only won't fix things on low pop servers imo. Hopefully they have some server mergers or transfers in place by then.

i can't help it, but really?
just a week after the patch we already started to ask about the 1.3?
ugh, it's like "the expa after pandaria" threads, that ALREADY started...

OT I'd prefer just to buy any droid of the existing models over the HK, they are way more awesome.

Hoods up/down is a possibility

in and old Qand Q from the end of Feb they said

When will you make it possible for Force-using characters to pull up/down their hoods on their robes?

Damion Schubert: This is in the works now. It won't be in Game Update 1.2, but should get done in the next major update after that. And yes, we will extend this functionality to your Force-slinging companions as well.

so unless its got bumped down, its a possibility i guess

We might hear more in todays Q&A since its the first one since 1.2 got put in.

they said that at the guild summit, I believe it was a question from the audience. they also addded that it will not be x-realm and not only be used for flashpoints.

Here's a more recent source: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=420543

It is actually a poll, James Ohlen wants to know what we want out of the LFG Tool. It does however say:

As a note; at this time the Group Finder feature in development is limited to searching on a single server only.

looking at the ending of denova, they aren't going that way with operations
maybe flashpoints will continue that story line

Yeah, the oceanic transfers are basically a beta test and then once that window closes they will probably tweak the system, make it more user friendly and open it up either via paid transfers, or free to low pop. I am really kinda still hoping they merge. My server is medium pop and we could easily absorb a couple small servers to bring us up to a healthy full.

Whatever they do, I expect it will be in shortly after the 24th when they close the Oceanic Transfer window. Either that Thurs as that seems to be when they do that kinda stuff, or with the maintenance on either 5/1 or 5/8. Pretty sure 1.3 will not be until the end of next month or early June.

If I remember correctly we were dropped some "hints" at the new operations. Apparently the sith dread masters break off probably for a power grab while the Emperor is KO. As for the Rahkghouls the story is pretty much done after the event and flashpoint. We stop the crazy scientist and the event might spread but will eventually end.

[RoninaThorstone]

let it rest for good after that

I don't think that's going to happen since rakghouls are even a threat on taris until about 20 years before SW episode 1.

That, and the talisman that originally makes rakghouls is still around while luke is alive.

doubtful it is over. Maybe won't be in any new FPs or OPs for a while, but the rakghouls are probably far from gone. I expect to see more attack on other planets like the event we have now. As similar as they are to zombies, and the fact that zombie stuff is really popular right now, they will not let them die. They probably will not be the center of attention, but we have not seen the last of them.
