Under Character Perks -&gt; Travel, at 1.2 there was buff for Sprint Speed but locked and now in 1.3 it was changed to Priority Transport. Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Will Wallace (Senior Designer):<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0There were both internal and external balance concerns about allowing players to purchase upgrades to Sprint speed, especially as it related to advantages in Warzones. We don&#8217;t want someone to feel like they have to have an optional purchase to be competitive in PvP. The Priority Transport perks were created as a replacement since they are beneficial for all players without upsetting the balance of the game.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;d still like to know the reason BioWare shifted from the announced legacy level &#8220;or&#8221; large sum of credits required to purchase Legacy items, to the current legacy level &#8220;and&#8221; large sum of credits required model.. but this week&#8217;s Legacy related question at least shows they&#8217;re trying to take balance into consideration with the perks.<\/p>\n<p>Read the whole Q&amp;A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.swtor.com\/blog\/community-qa-july-27th-2012\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>&#8230; and chime in with your question for next week&#8217;s Q&amp;A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.swtor.com\/community\/showthread.php?t=511496\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While I was off playing MWO&#8230; BioWare went and adhered to their Q&amp;A schedule!
