With the release of update 5.10.4 today, Star Wars: The Old Republic players — both free-to-play and preferred — now have access to all kinds of handy benefits. That’s right, hotbars have been added, medical probes are unlimited, and credit caps have been increased. Oh, and did we mention the unlimited quick travel? Yes, it’s for everyone. As far as the big news for the update goes, that’s pretty much it — oh except for something labeled in the patch notes as just “?????” with a note that there are “mysterious observers” near the Odessen base. So, maybe go check that out. As always, if you’re interested in the rest of the patch notes, they are available on the SWTOR site. … [Read more...] about SWTOR Update 5.10.4 Gives Everyone More Of Everything

Remember when BioWare teased a little trailer at the Game Awards in December last year? That almost seemed like a lifetime ago. We got a glimpse of Solas – the much misunderstood hero turn villain in the series’s last installment Dragon Age: Inquisition. Well that was way back in 2014, and now five years on, it’s beginning to feel like a drag. Fans and players want to know where the story goes, and because the narrative has been so good in the trilogy so far (gameplay not so much), it’s only inevitable that folks would be craving for more. Furthermore, developers BioWare are not having a good 2019. Anthem has made the news for all the wrong reasons, and one might suspect that the studio is buckling under that negativity. So please BioWare, here’s why we need the next Dragon Age before it’s too late. Or, give it to another studio worthy of completing the saga. We Want To See Tevinter Let’s face it – we all adore Dorian Pavus as a companion … [Read more...] about Dear BioWare: Gives Us The Next Dragon Age Before It’s Too Late

Star Wars: The Old Republic‘s Warriors and Marauders are in for some changes as the devs are (tentatively) set to implement bonuses for both classes. Players of both classes will have to meet some requirements to utilize these bonuses, mostly related to having high-end pieces, and players won’t need just one or two high-end pieces, but somewhere between four and six. Based on the forum posts — one each for Marauders and Sith Warriors — the bonuses that require these items will be pretty substantial. As an example, the Warriors’ Ubercharge bonus gives them two ability charges when using Force Charge and keeps them from being stunned or rooted for 3 seconds after using it. As for the Marauders, they’re getting a bit more love than the Warriors in the form of new abilities, tactical items, and more. As always, full details on both can be found via the links above. … [Read more...] about New Set Bonuses Incoming For SWTOR’s Marauders And Warriors

It’s that time of year again, and Star Wars fans everywhere are ready to celebrate. This Saturday is May the 4th. As is customary, the Star Wars The Old Republic team have planned something special for all of its players. This year, players who log in by May 6 will get their own M4-YA Astromech Droid mini-pet. The little dude, which you can see above, is a spiffy gold and blue droid that looks like he might have a lot of attitude. As part of the celebration, the SWTOR team is also offering players discounts on several items in the Cartel Market — even mounts. 50% off all collection unlocks 50% off all Appearance Options and Appearance Designer changes 40% off all available Stronghold Decorations 35% off all available Mounts Just as with the droid, this is a limited time thing and players hoping to cash in on any of the deals will need to do so before May 6. … [Read more...] about Celebrate Star Wars Day In SWTOR And Get A New Droid Pet

Star Wars: The Old Republic is bracing for a new expansion later this year, and the developers at BioWare are shifting into high gear to get it done. There’s a lot coming with this expansion, including two new planets and changes to advanced classes, and BioWare’s committed to keeping players informed on how things are coming along. To that end, Community Coordinator Daniel Steed has started a forum thread detailing the articles that he hopes to publish up to the launch of the expansion. Already on the list is the expansion announcement, with major topics for May including an introduction to Dantooine, the recurring Pirate Incursion in-game event, and other events on deck for May. In broader detail, he also mentions the other topics on deck, which include the aforementioned planets and class revamps, as well as the new Nautolan species, the story behind the expansion, and the developers’ overall philosophy regarding loot acquisition with the expansion. Steed also asks … [Read more...] about SWTOR Lays Out Article Roadmap Leading Up To Expansion
