JUSTIN O FROM FACEBOOK ASKS: WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE TO IMPLEMENT THE ARMOR THAT GENERAL VEERS WEARS IN THE HOTH INSTANCE AS A PLAYER WEARABLE ITEM?

ANSWER: WE HAVE MADE HUGE PROGRESS IN WORKING WITH CLOTHING AND ARMOR. IT STILL IS MUCH WORK TO DO THIS, BUT TECHNICALLY IT SEEMS TO BE POSSIBLE TO CREATE NEW WEARABLES IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

CHIMI FROM THE FORUM ASKS: IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, THE SERVER WAS GOING DOWN A LOT, ALMOST HOURLY. HAS THAT ISSUE BEEN RESOLVED? ARE THERE ANY BIG ISSUES AT THE MOMENT? I'M THINKING ABOUT JUMPING BACK IN, BUT I'D LIKE TO KNOW HOW THINGS ARE RUNNING FIRST. THANKS!

ANSWER: CURRENTLY WE ARE RESTARTING THE SERVERS AT MONDAY AND FRIDAY. WE HAVE NO BIG ISSUES WITH THE SERVER GOING DOWN AT ALL ANYMORE.

JEDISOLDIER FROM THE FORUM ASKS: THE NIGHTSISTER BICEP WAS SAID TO BE PLACED IN THE LOOT TABLE. COULD YOU TELL US IF IT HAS EVER DROPPED? AND WILL YOU EVER UP THE DROP RATE SO SOMEONE MIGHT LOOT IT?

ANSWER: WE ARE CURRENTLY IN THE DISCUSSION OF EITHER UPPING THE DROP RATE OR ADDING IT TO ANOTHER BOSS.

VAYMAN FROM THE FORUM ASKS: BESIDES DONATIONS, WHAT CAN WE - THE PLAYERS - DO TO HELP PROMOTE SWG LEGENDS?

ANSWER: THERE ARE LOTS OF THINGS PLAYERS CAN DO TO PROMOTE THE PROJECT, A LOT OF PLAYERS LIKE TO STREAM WHILST PLAYING THE GAME, SOME PLAYERS LIKE TO POST ABOUT IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA OR SIMPLY JUST TELL THEIR FRIENDS BY WORD OF MOUTH. WE ARE ALWAYS THANKFUL FOR ANY SUPPORT THAT COMES OUR WAY!

BOSSK FROM THE FORUM ASKS: MAY I ASK WHEN THE DECEMBER AND/OR LIFE DAY UPDATE IS GOING TO BE RELEASED?

AMBOSA FROM THE FORUM ASKS: WILL THERE EVER BE ANY MORE REWARDS ADDED TO CHRONICLE REWARDS VENDOR?

ANSWER: WE LOVE THE PROJECT JUST AS MUCH AS YOU GUYS! THE ANSWER IS YES X1000!

ANSWER: THE UNDEAD EMOTES ARE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE A REALLY NICE ADDITION TO THE GAME! SOUNDS LIKE THE CORRECT TYPE OF THEMING AROUND THAT SEASONAL EVENT, MAYBE NEXT YEAR WE CAN LOOK INTO THIS A BIT MORE.

AS FOR THE FORCE GHOST ABILITY, WE ARE AWARE THIS IS SOMETHING SO MANY PLAYERS WANT ACCESS TO, HOWEVER WITH THAT SAID. WE DO HAVE FUTURE PLANS WITHIN NEW GAME CONTENT TO IMPLEMENT THIS. /COUGH. THE JEDI-THEME PARK!
