Each member highlights and discusses their most pressing question of the dev roundtable:<br> <br> * Mox: Are the DvL bosses locked or not?<br> <br> Answer: Not. They currently work like world bosses and can be reset by taunts.<br> <br> <br> * JT: Are there plans to address the community concern regarding command XP and RNG?<br> <br> Answer: We are looking how things work out first, but do not rule out changes.<br> <br> <br> * Rav: What are the thoughts on forced low rank companions in veteran+ chapters?<br> <br> Answer: It is intended. You can compensate with gear and gifts.<br> <br> <br> * Heather: What content is there for veteran players?<br> <br> Answer: Veteran mode story, uprisings and DvL bosses. More plans in January.<br> <a href="http://corellianrun.com/2016/12/06/episode-174-eternal-throne-impression-more/crr_buzz_qacall3/" rel="attachment wp-att-23363"></a><br> <br> Read the full report with all questions and their detailed answers here: <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kTgm3nq7h7JGRd8mY59_NgiIHC78Sw9kISxFORm6I08">Summary of the Round Table</a>.<br> <br>  <br> <br>  <br> <br> The team discusses spoilers.
