BioWare are using today’s server maintenance to push a small patch. They fixed the codex entry for the World Event and fixed the errors on the Tionese/Centurion gear which had Defense Rating stats on DPS/Healer gear. General An issue that prevented players from receiving the final Codex entry for the event has been corrected. Players that previously defeated Urtagh but did not receive the Codex entry and associated title will need to defeat the boss again in order to obtain it. Items Tionese and Centurion gear have had their stats corrected to pre-update 1.2 values.

TOR TV: Sexy and I Know It
When ever I see big strong men dancing in SWTOR, I always think of Khalirei’s video: “SWTOR Episode I – A New Meme“. The bounty hunter in the video still cracks me up 🙂 Khalirei isn’t the only one who likes the “big strong muscle man fantasy”. Here is something sexy from Night45Fox.
The Guild sphere: Errant Venture
Today I had the chance to speak with Zainitopia from the republic guild Errant Venture. Errant venture plays on the server Space Slug and is an all purpose republic guild, from the hardcore to the casual, being both accomplished in raiding and pvp. With over 100 members, we focus heavily in all aspects of gameplay – leveling(alts), warzones, flashpoints (hardmode), and of course raiding! Essentially they are looking to recruit raiders for patch 1.2. they used to have 3 x 8 mans running and actually got a server first kill on SOA NiM as well. Since then they have had to scale back to 1 group and have been raiding every week since. They are a casual group that loves to raid (only 2 nights). At one point they were very well respected in PVP as well. Although the emphasis for recruiting is for raiding, they take all gameplays into the guild, whether that…
TOR TV: Goodbye Azeroth (I’m Gonna Be A Sith Lord)
This video is fairly old and for some reason it slept under our radar. This song is for anyone who has grinded their life away in WoW and now does the same in SWTOR 😉 Check out the lyrics below the video. I can’t fight in the Ruins of LordaeranI’m preparing for the day we blow up AlderaanBlow up Alderaan. My days are over as a spellcasterIt’s time for us to strike and kill the Jedi MastersJedi Masters Because I know I’m going to the Dark Side….

TOR TV: The KOTOR Song (time to rumble)
i will be your doo doo, i will be your doom! I never thought I would hear an autotuned wookie…I was wrong. This was awesome. All the SWTOR hype got me wanting to replay KOTOR. And replaying KOTOR got me wanting to remix KOTOR. The instrumental music was all done by me with Logic Pro. Game footage was recorded with Fraps. The video editing was done with Sony Vegas. I usually use Final Cut but I was too lazy to convert the fraps video files to mp4 and move them to the OSX partition of my computer. Maybe someday I’ll be a Machinima director. That would be awesome. But I hope you peeps like this video.

The Guild sphere: Army of Yonuss
This week I sat down with Jono from “Army of Yonuss”, for a quick question and answer session about The guild. Army of Yonuss plays SITH on the Tarro Blood server, and currently recruiting. Check out the interview below, while you are downloading patch 1.2 🙂 Where did your guilds name come from? Our guild is named after the username our good friend used to use for every one of his RPG characters, Yonuss. He passed away just before TOR was released, but was very active in beta. He had been planning to co-found the guild with us for months, so when he passed away we decided it would be a nice way to honor him. Can you give me a quick 2-3 sentance description of your guild? Army of Yonuss is laid back and open to members of all sorts, however we are still very organized. We run weekly…

MTSBWY: What If Yoda Spoke Normally?
The ‘Star Wars’ universe is riddle with mysteries. Did Han shoot first? How come Chewbacca doesn’t get a medal at the end of ‘A New Hope?’ And how come Yoda insists on speaking in semi-reverse order? It’s hard not to see master Yoda as a very short font of wisdom throughout the Star Wars films, but when his unique speech pattern is made to fit traditional rules, suddenly he becomes one seriously creepy little dude. Vimeo user MechaStewart shows us in the video below:

SWTOR Tips: How Discover Coruscant Spaceport
A lot of people have been bitching about not being able to discover the full map of Coruscant. Currently it’s not possible to discover Coruscant Spaceport without playing hide and seek. It’s not known if it’s a bug or it is supposed to be like this, but here is a guide to discover Coruscant Spaceport and thereby the full map on the planet. It turns out that in the docking bay there is a set of stairs off to the left (facing towards the elevators) run up the stairs to the viewing platform and looking out towards the docking bay you will notice two support beams on either side. I ran up the beam on the right into the ceiling, you will break through the ceiling and be able to see above the roof… way a bit and you will discover the entire map! (assuming this was the last bit you had)…

TOR TV: Like a Voss
Youtube user Fcroaonlk created this SWTOR Parody of “Like a Boss”. Fcroaconlk was featured on SWTOR Strategies back in February with his music video Ode to Corso Riggs. Now he has done it again with a new music video recorded in real life and on Voss. Hey all, this is my newest project, “”Like a Voss“”, using live action footage as well as game footage to create a semi-close parody of The Lonely Island’s “Like a Boss”. Feel free to give constructive criticism, but try to be nice. I always look to improve. Close captioning is available by hitting the “CC” button on the bottom of the video if you’re having trouble understanding the words. Enjoy!
TOR TV: Star Wars The Old Republic Cinematic Trailer – Hope – In real life.
A bunch of French fans did the “Hope” trailer In Real Life! Not only is this movie awesome, It also shows the dedication of Die Hard Star Wars fans. I went sith warrior because vette is such an awesome companion but every time I watch the hope trailer I want to go back to my trooper even though he is on a deserted server! Watching this movie was like watching 10 hope trailers at once. Say what you will about the prequel trilogy… but you have to admit the new sound effects it introduced to the SW universe are awesome. One thing I’ve never understood about “Hope” is they have a great ambush position on a ridge and they all jump down Now you’re probably asking why they got a dude to play Satele Shan, but in the youtube comments, they state that they got some breack dance famous guy to play “her”,…

TOR TV: Richie Branson – Looking For A Group – the music video
Back in January we featured Richie Branson for the first time in this column. Back then we also posted the same song as we are going to feature today, but now the tune “Looking for Group” has it’s own music video.
