Today SWTOR’s Lead Interface Artist, Michael Voigt, guided players though what options will be available to players when they can begin customizing their UI when we finally get our hands on game update 1.2. In the video Mr. Voigt shows off how players can open up the customization window, some of the default layouts available to them, and the options for full customization if they choose to employ them.  Players will even be able to save the customization they perform for one character, making it easy to set up all your characters after you are done. You will even be able to share your customizations with your friends, which is perfect for showing what you like as well as helping any MMO newbies who may not understand how they can optimize their experience.

Check out the video and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

Despite what was expected, this Friday update was not the Smuggler trailer video released earlier yesterday by Machinima.com. Instead we got a huge update containing a great “Designing the Light Side” Developer Dispatch video and a huge Fan Friday article containing a huge amount of fan created content.

The video is full of information on what decisions were made during the design process of the Jedi classes. We find out that you can choose to be a heroic type of Jedi like Luke or darker, more avenging Jedi like Anakin. There is a bunch of video footage of Tython (still one of the most serene environments I’ve seen in any game so far) along with discussion on why choosing earth tones for Jedi and “robed monk” look. Jedi Knight is all about action and adventure. Consular’s story will be more about diplomacy and you will be able to play a sneaky (stealth) role, or a more supportive (healing) role or even do some force damage (magic dps). The problem I have with each of these videos is that every time they release a new one I have to rethink what class I’m going to play as my main. I just have a need to live through all these stories and not miss out and that is going to be hard with 8 classes available. Anyone with a cloning machine wanna help me out? You can find the official video page here or just watch it below.

Along with the Developer Dispatch article we were also presented with this month’s Fan Friday. I recommend everyone visits the official news post, because it has loads of great Fan made art along with some great looking capital ship concept art presented in another Developer Corner. New wallpapers and official forum avatars are presented as well.
