Producer Note, GU7 and More

Producer Note Jan 12th: http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/post ... _id=821470

GU7 on TCP: http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/post ... _id=837145

Note: For some reason the ability to deconstruct Crusader Armor was placed under the Spy section lol.

Just a bit of mixed information here for those that do not have the time to peruse the official SOE boards:

Q. Any update on getting Galactic Moon Festival Costumes available for permanent use as part of Storyteller?

A. Actually, yes. We'll be releasing the first few costume tokens with Update 7.

SOE: We are looking at raising city caps (Loche)

Q. Are there any plans to allow players to create a 3rd toon on a server (for those who don't have it)?
A. SOE: Not at this time.

Q. Are there any plans to look at the GCW and PvP itself?
A. SOE: As I mentioned in the note itself, we are still finalizing our plans for 2009. I hope to have more to report on the topic in a few weeks.

Questions:
1) Any timeframe for engineering update and droid commander, since PAs/cities are GU8 and spies/storyteller costumes are GU7?

2) do the tentative plans for 2009 include updates to the GCW, that can include combat and non combat playstyles?

3) do the tentative plans for 2009 include updates to space, that can include GCW content as well as heroics?

Answers:
1. No timeframes to share right now other than the costume thing (Update 7).

2. All things, GCW included, are being considered.

3. All things, space included, are being considered.

I can't divulge any more right now. (SOE)

A tid-bit that was revealed about the deluxe sarlaac trash can:

1) If you miss a week feeding it you start over again
2) It resets after you get the collection item, so yes it can be used over and over again (4 week intervals)
3) It has combos for collection items just like reverse engineering junk loot to get certain modifier bits. So what is that darn Sith 4/5 WP combo? I don't know, ask Mr. Owl. (A codex will probably be formed at the SWG Junkyard)

SOE Acknowledges server lag, Finally!

Regarding costumes, Players have announced a new Costume Tab being added to the menu. So, it'll be interesting to see how that works out in the near future.
