GeorgZoeller General Discussion -> Good Interview with TenTonHammer & SWTOR Creative Director James Ohlen

That’s still there. What was removed was the ability to talk in general chat between factions, and mostly because it was confusing.

Let’s just say that there was some awkward situations on Hoth where people ended up meeting to fight a world boss only to realize at the meeting place that they were different factions.

It’s funny when that happens, but it was creating a lot of confusion as well.

 

GeorgZoeller General Discussion -> no cross faction chat??

Guys,

Let’s back up for a minute and clarify what’s going on here.

Nothing has changed since San Diego Comic Con.

As discussed at SDCC, the decision was made to separate the general chat channels by faction. However, this decision ONLY affects the planet-wide chat channels such as “General Chat.” If you’re standing next to another player (local chat), you can talk to them regardless of what faction you’re part of.

The only thing we removed, as already mentioned at Comic-Con, was the ability to communicate with the opposing faction across the entirety of a planet to avoid the issues (like griefing, abuse, and other factors which led to a very unpleasant experience) which we saw way too often in testing.

We discussed the option of hiding the global chat and defaulting it off, but ultimately the ratio of negative incidents was too high to justify that. The reasoning here is simple: We really didn’t want to create a game option that essentially says “[x] Give me an 80% chance of having an infuriating and annoying chat experience,” and putting the onus on the user (“you can just /ignore them”) is not our idea of a quality game experience.

Removing planet-wide cross-faction chat radically reduces the amount of reach a misbehaving player has before account action can be taken. We’ll likely add the ability to filter local cross faction chat as well.

Hopefully that clears it up a bit.

 

I know this is a hot topic for many in the community. Obviously during testing it was found to not work in having full blown cross-faction chat in channels, but you still will have the ability to use a /say or possibly a /yell command as you stand over the corpse of the opposing faction member you just ganked. The role playing community still has a way, all bit it harder than in channel, to discuss plot and storylines with opposing faction members.

 

StephenReid General Discussion -> Confirmed – Rested XP will be in the game

This is not what it means.
Like the above poster said, you get double XP for a few quest if you log out in an inn for a good day (24 hour) or something.

It’s something like this. In our case, right now, you become ‘rested’ when you log out in a cantina.

I’m afraid I can’t recall the exact specifics on numbers, but when you re-login with a ‘rested’ character you gain XP faster up to a certain amount, then go back to the ‘normal’ rate. I’ll try and get Damion to elaborate. As always, we’re testing features like this, things will no doubt change, get tweaked, etc.

 

Sounds more information will be coming on this at a later date, but for now XP after resting will faster just no exact numbers or how long it will last etc. Stay tuned for more updates.
