Fan Friday: Developer Corner and Threat of Peace Today

For today's update, BioWare returned to Fan Friday for the first time in quite awhile. Along with that, we also received a Developer Corner and a new issue of the Threat of Peace webcomic.

Fan Friday/Developer Corner.

Threat of Peace.

Devtracker so you can find all the Polls Sean made.

Go check out the work from the fan community and let the Developers know what your opinion in the polls. The Developer Corner has a nice video of a shield generator located on Balmorra and a brief look at some facial customization in the form of battle scars. You can also read the next Threat of Peace to continue the story leading up to the game and check out a few new class avatars for use on the official forums.

    Agreed, most are just annoying fan art. Love some of it, hate others, but this one had meaningful updates. Not for huge ingame reveals, but just tid-bits at what we'll get to see later.

    Well technically speaking, I think it would be better in a RP sense that if you would shield an important imperial hide out that you would go ahead and cloak it as well. But in a graphical sense, remember it does say "Work in Progress" so it may end up looking much better. But I love the sense of blaster fire hitting the shield.

    Yeah, because of their experience with character creation, I'm guessing we'll get tons and tons of facial features. I'm more so wondering on how BW might imply that for Alien species.

    BioWare are listening to its fans and to the mistakes by previous MMO launches and their failures. BioWare should be respected in doing their first MMO the right way. This is the pinnacle moment in BIOWARE history. The hype is slow at the moment but the hype will be rebuild as the year progresses and see that the decade will be fulfilled by SW:TOR! HOOOYAH!

    P.S. Emlaeh loves boob slider = taco love.

    I agreed with both your statement Macer, and the Emlaeh thing. ;)
    This is BW's first MMO, but they’re still getting it right and better than other MMOs. And it’s because they don’t compare themselves, instead they work ground up and build it how they think it should be, and how the fans want. Woot for BW and boob sliders.

    i think that with the scars they showed us some different ones but there are more and maybe like in DAO you can customize them a little.....my idea is to let us be able to make them bigger or smaller.....more coloured...just give us some options to we can chose for ourselfes.....and so we dont all look the same

    This shouldn't be a surprise. Sean D. warned us back in November that things would slow back down after the new year and that Fan Fridays would return with a "facelift". Which we now know was the Dev's Corner.

    Also, think about it. Mass Effect 2 drops in less than two weeks. BioWare is letting that game take center stage and saving all of the juicy TOR updates for convention season. Which, kicks off in March with GDC San Fran and PAX East and goes straight through the summer to the original PAX on Labor Day weekend.

    We know testing will start in 2010. So, my guess is it will begin shortly after convention season ends. It will then stretch through early 2011, taking us to launch.

    the scars look pretty amazing but i find it kinda sad that bioware dont have the idea of making the scars decision based and instead go with the old and make it an option in customizing your charactar.

    i hope that if they have bombardments its a bit faster then what we saw in that video; it felt kind of slow to me (too much time inbetween each individual beam). Other then that cool update. Liked the comic, and the battle scars look awesome!

    I had just seen Highlander 2: The Quickening, "fifty years under the shield". How appropriate. ^^

    All of the movies pretty much sucks except for vengeance. The TV show on the other hand was great.
