So today Eric Musco took on the forums informing what we can expect with game update 5.9 Hey folks, With the 5.8a Conquest changes out the door, let’s talk about what we have planned for 5.9.

An additional buff for GSF, Warzone, and Flashpoint Participation Objectives. The “Play a Flashpoint” Objective is being changed to “Play a Flashpoint or Uprising.” The “Kill X Enemies” Daily Objective will now be split into three Objectives. Kill 50 / 100 /…

The Star Wars franchise and its sustained success
Over $8 billion dollars in box office sales. Almost $38 billion in toys and merchandise. A sale to Disney around the $4 billion mark. These gigantic, record-breaking figures are enough to suggest that Star Wars is one of the world’s most phenomenally successful movie franchises of all time. There’s also the millions of fans from around the world who name Star Wars as either a favourite movies series, a creative influence, or even a life-changing piece of cinema. So why is Star Wars so popular? Back in 1977, there were plenty of Sci-Fi movies from relatively unknown directors, and 1977’s A New Hope was just another space-flick with a couple of big names. The big difference however was the depth, the vision and the scale that the original Star Wars movie had that made it such a smash-hit success, as well as the brilliant visual effects, well-paced storyline and superb…
Star Wars Force Arena 22/02/2018 Update News
Another update is here! In this update, the Star Wars: Force Arena developers have focused on improving the balancing of the game that will hopefully bring balance to the Force and give more exciting experiences in the arena. Other improvements with the Recommended Guilds List are implemented as well, so check out more details below: ■ Unit Balance Patch All numbers listed in the balance details are based on the cards at Level 1.

A large portion of players have shared their sentiments about him and we are therefore increasing his Passive Skill Cooldown to challenge players to plan out their strategy more carefully since it may now be risky to charge towards turrets. Imperial Heavy Gunners The…
Star Wars Battlefront II – Patch 1.2 datamined
Here’s some stuff that was discovered by reddit user Heavyweighsthecrown after spending a few hours in the game’s files with Frosty Editor – a game assets editor that’s also used to manipulate game files for mods. He Spent some hours looking at 3D meshes, cryptic command lines, colorful textures, and files named under some arcane system, and this is what he found… But first, a Disclaimer: I don’t know if people already knew this stuff 100% before this latest patch, or if this is new stuff. Also, everything here can easily be verified if you use Frosty Editor yourself to dive into the game files. There are actually 2 head models named “JangoFett”. But he’s without the helmet, and both look very alike. I don’t think they will be used in future models though. The more detailed head is probably the Clone Officer, and the slightly less detailed one is probably the background clones…
