Largely it is a legacy decision. It is pretty common when one NA timezone is used that it is Pacific. We have done it that way for quite a long while and so I feel like changing it to East or Central would just rock the boat unnecessarily.

It isn't so much about where we, or our servers are located, but acting as a common timezone to use for reference. Hope that makes sense.

Correct, this is just for the weekly Guild rewards that go out at the end of each Conquest.

Hey everyone,

Due to the large amount of changes coming to the Conquest system tomorrow (especially under the hood), you will likely not receive your rewards from this week's Conquest. We wanted to make you aware so you aren't surprised. Our plan is to grant them after Game Update 5.8 to all players who earned them. This will happen similar to the "mass-grant" we did previously.

I do not have exact timing yet on when the rewards will be granted, but I should have an update tomorrow. Apologies for any inconvenience this causes. With the new Conquest revamp in place, this should hopefully be the last time we have to talk about missing rewards.

Thanks!

I was also wondering, would you guys ever be willing to do a proper Q&A? Like, a week, a couple of days ahead of the stream gather questions posted either here or via Twitter (perhaps Twitter is best as the forums tend to derail a lot), and select 10-15 of those to be answered on stream? I've noticed during the actual stream, many questions often either get overlooked or ignored. In my opinion, it would feel far more like having a discussion with you guys, rather than being talked to by you guys, you know?

In any case, looking forward to it!
It depends on the stream. Sometimes the stream focuses more on "showcasing" content, other times it is more about having that back and forth and answering questions. Last stream was just a pretty quick intro before handing the reins to SWTOR Central for a Gods From the Machine stream. This time we are going to do a longer stream, talk a bit more in-depth about 5.8, and definitely take more questions!

Yes and no. The focus of the stream is really on 5.8, and we definitely plan on releasing the augment details after 5.8 is out the door. Typically we try to address questions related to the update/topic of stream but we definitely try to snag a few outliers on other topics to hit as well. Outside of general questions though, detailed info on the augments isn't planned for the stream.
