We didn't have any new updates last week from the official news section of SWTOR.com so again we venture over to the Community News area for our round-up...
Friday displayed a new community Q&A that includes some minor Sith Warrior storyline spoilers. This week, we've included an excerpt from the intro since it features a reminder on posed questions and a notice that the Q&A won't be back for a couple weeks.
"We?re back with a selection of answers to your community questions! Please note that in some cases we?ve combined multiple questions into one, and we that have edited some questions for clarity.
As a reminder, we previously suggested a shift in focus in your questions. As development plans are always subject to change, questions about future features will often get vague answers which can be repetitive and sometimes annoying. With that in mind, the development team is more interested in questions about current in-game features or systems, or questions about why development decisions were made. You?re still welcome to ask questions about future features and we?ll continue to answer them where appropriate ? just expect the occasional ?soon.?
In order to maintain the quality of questions and answers, we will be allowing more time for questions to accumulate, which means that the next Q&A blog will be in two weeks on May 25th. We?d like to focus the next Q&A blog on Game Update 1.3, so please be sure to ask questions on anything related to Game Update 1.3."
SWTOR.com has launched an official podcast for Star Wars: The Old Republic and Episode 1 can be heard right here. This week, your hosts Eric Musco and Brooks Guthrie chat with Daniel Erickson and Damion Schubert. In addition, David Bass reports on TOR at PAX East.
