During the livestream, the studio also discussed how brand-new level 60 characters will be made, a legendary status tag for players who complete all eight class stories, cartel market companions, and a reworked group finder. The revised leveling process was also explained: Players who choose to start at level one will only have to do story and planetary missions to level to the cap, with all side missions made into optional activities.
