SWTOR: Introduction to Guild Heraldry
Here is the latest blog post from BioWare Austine, explaining the new Guild Heraldry system coming with todays game update. Check it out: With Game Update 5.10.2 “Heralds of Victory” we are introducing a tool for Guilds to rally behind, Guild Heraldry, and a major re-work of the Preview Window. If you missed it, be sure to check out our detailed look into the Preview Window we posted in March. Today, we’re going to take a closer look at the Guild Heraldry system. Guild Heraldry helps Guilds by adding a route of customization to further form their own identity. Guilds can choose from a selection of Symbols and Backgrounds, along with the full hex code color spectrum, to create a personalized banner to rally behind. These Heraldries are then available to be seen both within a Guild and outside of it. Now let’s break down the individual pieces, so you know exactly…

Is a Mouse Bungee Worth it for Gaming?
Gamers understand that having the right gaming set up is essential for ensuring comfortable playing for hours at a time. Being able to sit at your computer and move around with ease is critical for avoiding wrist injuries and the frustration of when the cord seems to snag on things it should not snag on. Making sure that you have a mouse bungee is a cheap, easy way to making sure that your gaming set up is perfectly able to keep you feeling comfortable throughout game play. What are Some Problems Gamers without Mouse Bungees Experience? The biggest problem that gamers who lack mouse bungees come across is the snagging of the cord. Despite your best efforts, gravity works to keep the mouse cord falling behind the desk or going to its lowest point. This is where snags are caused, and they are especially frustrating to gamers because the snag…

The Gambling World in Star Wars
Throughout the Star Wars franchise, gambling has played a big part in the lives of our favourite characters. In one of the most recent movies, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, a whole new city based purely around gambling was introduced to the scene, called Canto Bight. This city is only for the wealthiest in the universe and is filled with racetracks and casinos. Here we take a look at gambling in the Star Wars franchise, including some of the most famous scenes and casinos in which gambling took place. The Casinos in Star Wars With Star Wars being a very family-friendly franchise, the casinos are not seen for very long throughout the movies, but they are often visited and mentioned in many of the spin-off pieces and this proves just how much gambling is a part of the universe in Star Wars. There are a few casinos that we see…

Daily Login Character for April: B2 Super Battledroid Tinfoil hat time: the return of JKR seems a bit quick. What if, perhaps, they’re using it to hide a legendary event for Malak? No CLS is also really odd. I would’ve bet the house we’d see that. Maybe it’ll overlap with the Daring Droid event like it did last time.

Gambling: An Examination Into Gaming Addiction
Gambling is everywhere. Lottery tickets, casinos, poker tournaments, online gaming, and sports betting. As a society we are inundated with opportunity to take a chance, spin the wheel, roll the dice, and perhaps win big; or just as likely, lose big. In fact, recent surveys have shown that in the United States alone, 80% of adults 21 and older have engaged in some type of gambling activity. With the growth of the gaming industry, the advent on online casinos (for example German online casinos – https://automatenherz.com/online-casino/ ♠️|♥️|♣️|♦️ ), and other online gaming sites, more and more people are introduced to gambling at a younger age. With the popularity of Celebrity Poker, Poker Stars tours and televised tournaments appearing on mainstream TV, gaming seems to be everywhere, and everyone seems to be doing it. Gambling is part of American culture. For most, it is simply an enjoyable pastime. Based on a…

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes: Update on zFinn Changes Coming Next Update
Capital games are finally ready to launch the changes to zFinn in the next game update. Check it out: Previously, I mentioned that we found some additional issues since Tophat’s last post around zFinn’s kit and that we would need to take another pass to fix the infinite loop in Phase 3 of the Sith Raid with zFinn and C-3PO. We had shared a possible solution earlier, but while the changes TopHat discussed prevented infinite loops in Phase 3, in further testing we realized we inadvertently added a new trivializing loop to Phase 1, so we have made some additional changes from the reworked kit you originally saw here. In order to address the Phase 1 problem, we needed to make more extensive changes, which we feel impacted Finn’s core identity. For that reason, we will be refunding the materials spent to upgrade his leader ability. Whatever you personally invested…

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes Developer Insights: Darth Revan
The Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes, CG_SBCrumb, sat down with CG_ParkingInstructor to discuss Darth Revan and where this character fits into Galaxy of Heroes. If you haven’t met CG_Parkinginstructor, he is a designer who mainly works on character creation and was the main designer on Darth Traya, Darth Sion, Chewbacca, and Ahsoka Tano (Fulcrum) among many others. OVERVIEW SBC: So who is the Darth Revan character?PI: Darth Revan is a dominant leader for the new Sith Empire faction and powers up a team by weakening its own defensive capabilities. Darth Revan will lead a very aggressive Sith Empire team that aims to take down enemies quickly but with a different approach than most. Darth Revan’s kit is focused on effectively taking down the enemy leader while applying beneficial debuffs. We think this will be a very powerful character with longevity in PvP and do fairly well in raids. Check out Darth Revan’s kit…

SWTOR: Technical features coming in 5.10.2
Here are some of the ” under the hodd” canges Bioware is planing to add with game Patch 5.10.2. Under the Hood with SWTOR Today we want to pull back the curtain about the development process a bit, in order to talk about two feature updates that our engineers have been feverishly working on – better dynamic placeable objects and a more robust Preview Window. Both will be included with Game Update 5.10.2 ‘Heralds of Victory’. To really explain the breadth of this update, we’re going to try something a little different from what we normally do and go deeper into the tech-side of our explanations. With that, let’s dive in! Dynamic Placeable Objects (DYNs) First off, let’s talk about what DYNs are. DYNs are objects that designers place in the world that can change or be changed, based on how they’re set up. Nearly everything you interact with in-game is based…

Once you complete your journey to the Dark Side, reworks for HK-47 and Fallen Bastila Shan are on their way and ready to help Darth Revan become an incredibly powerful Sith leader. “When they left after the Mandalorian Wars ended, they were Jedi.

SWTOR: Game Update 5.10.2 ‘Heralds of Victory’ Is Coming!
Yesterday the devs over at Bioware Austine announced that Patch 5.10.2, named Heralds of Victory will be landing in April and feature guild heraldry and preview window changes. When Game Update 5.10 ‘Jedi Under Siege’ launched, guilds received a boost in the form of new guild leveling and PvP challenge systems, as well as new management tools. Seeing guilds flourish from this, with Game Update 5.10.2 ‘Heralds of Victory’, we are planning to add even more for guilds! This new feature is called Guild Heraldry and it will be another tool for guilds to rally behind! Each guild can create their own emblem to represent them throughout the game. Between the combination of icons, background details, and variety of colors, guilds will be able to create something truly unique. A guild’s emblem will be displayed in the general guild window, on the conquest planetary leaderboards, and many other places! On…
Star Wars Games: Top 5 Honourable Mentions
Star Wars games are like a fine wine – they only age better with time. But to be fair, the saga had its ups and downs throughout almost three decades of existence on the gaming market. Back in the mid-1990s and ‘00s, there have been more than two dozen Star Wars universe-themed games released explicitly for PC, and frankly, not every release fulfilled the developer expectations. Just like the movies, some games are remembered much more fondly than others. There’s even this common saying about the whole deal – for every beloved Star Wars game, there’s half-dozen of the ‘ehh’ ones. But today is not about the dark side of the Star Wars games industry. Today’s all about those all-time classics, amongst which, there’s even a game that, by some fans, is considered as being better than the entire film saga! Is the force still strong with such a bold…
Star Wars: Battelfront 2 — Infiltrator Reinforcements
Dice just posted a new Community Transmission about two brand-new reinforcements coming with the new game mode. On the Republic side you’ll now be able to play as an Advanced Recon Commando, better known as an ARC Trooper, and on the Separatist side, you’ll be able to play as a BX-series Droid Commando. Both units will be part of the new Infiltrator Reinforcement class and will also have their own new Star Cards for their abilities! Check it out: Infiltrator Reinforcements: ARC Trooper ARC Trooper dodge roll, WIP The ARC Trooper is a gung-ho attacker that rushes into battle wielding his trusty DC-17 pistols. Yes, you read that correctly: pistols. This unit can dual wield pistols and fire them independently, effectively doubling his rate of fire. With short-ranged blasters, this trooper needs something more versatile for more distant foes. To extend his reach, the ARC trooper’s Power Blast ability overcharges his primary pistol to fire a…
