…. companion deaths he said we can "rack up quite a body count"#swtor #swtorfamily — Cristina Petrarca (@CristiPetrarca) October 8, 2016

.@Tougakun Ben Irving said it was because we live in a binge-watch era & they realized people like that and not monthly episodes — Cristina Petrarca (@CristiPetrarca) October 8, 2016

.@xprdc @Tougakun Not sure if it'll be all at once or a couple big releases, but it will not be monthly like kotfe.#swtor #swtorfamily — Cristina Petrarca (@CristiPetrarca) October 8, 2016

3 difficulty levels: Story, Veteran, Master for Kotfe & Kotet (they have achieves) and they are repeatable.#swtor #swtorfamily — Cristina Petrarca (@CristiPetrarca) October 8, 2016

Companions/Alliance Alerts: "Not going to answer that because it's too spoiler-ery".

Group Content

There will be no operations with the launch of KOTET. #swtor #swtorfamily — Cristina Petrarca (@CristiPetrarca) October 8, 2016

Instead KOtET has "uprisings" which is something to do with 1-4 players that has 3 different modes. Glorified FPs?#swtor #swtorfamily — Cristina Petrarca (@CristiPetrarca) October 8, 2016

More updates in Jan bc in 2017 they want to go back to making more multiplayer gameplay. Possible ops early next year.#swtor #swtorfamily — Cristina Petrarca (@CristiPetrarca) October 8, 2016

@Gravek Only that there are none coming with the Xpac. They might be putting some out in early 2017, livestream in Jan about it. — Cristina Petrarca (@CristiPetrarca) October 8, 2016

Focus in 2017: Group content. Will there be new ops? New pvp maps? Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. Lots of elusiveness, nothing concrete.#swtor — Cristina Petrarca (@CristiPetrarca) October 8, 2016

PvP

Pvp Rewards (1): Rewards are tricky in general, especially in regards to pvp. Everyone wants to flex their e-peen & they try to find#swtor — Cristina Petrarca (@CristiPetrarca) October 8, 2016

PvP Rewards (2): Ways to do that & what "rewards they have available at the time" influence that a lot. #swtor #swtorfamily — Cristina Petrarca (@CristiPetrarca) October 8, 2016

Pvp: Season 8 starts at the launch of Kotet.#swtor #swtorfamily — Cristina Petrarca (@CristiPetrarca) October 8, 2016

Misc

Lotto machines: They had talked about bringing back the Nightlife event, but did not due to DvL & the need to run those events.#swtor — Cristina Petrarca (@CristiPetrarca) October 8, 2016

Mega guilds: Nothings specific on conquest, they are focusing on DvL & the new server DvL shift and Galactic Command.#swtor #swtorfamily — Cristina Petrarca (@CristiPetrarca) October 8, 2016

Galactic Command: @musco is currently writing many blog entries about this waiting to be approved and released in about 3-4 weeks.#swtor — Cristina Petrarca (@CristiPetrarca) October 8, 2016

Galactic Command: GC is a way to access many "activities" in the game to "gain more power".Insert @musco 's winky face.#swtor #swtorfamily — Cristina Petrarca (@CristiPetrarca) October 8, 2016

Dressing room bug: They are aware of it, but it takes time and engineers to fix it & they have to prioritize. #swtor #swtorfamily — Cristina Petrarca (@CristiPetrarca) October 8, 2016

Solo mode for Shroud & Seeker quests: They are aware that people are asking for this.#swtor #swtorfamily — Cristina Petrarca (@CristiPetrarca) October 8, 2016
