SWTOR Game Update 5.2: The War for Iokath Delay
The team over at Bioware Austin is delaying the release of the new Game Update 5.2 by at least a week due to some quality issues: Hey folks, We want to ensure our updates release at the highest quality possible and Game Update 5.2: The War for Iokath is no different. At this point in time, we are not satisfied with the quality of the Iokath update. For that reason, we are delaying the release of 5.2 by one week, to release on April 18th. This allows the team more time to make improvements to address some of the issues still pending. We did not make this decision lightly as we are very eager for all of you to get your hands on the new storyline, reunite with old Companions, or try your hand at taking down the God of Rage himself. As soon as we know timing for the next…

Eric Musco updated the community about it: Hey folks, Coming with Game Update 5.2 is a new quality of life feature, a revamped Galaxy Map.

SWTOR Choosing a Faction on Iokath
Eric Musco posted some new information regarding Iokath. This time it’s a post on choosing your faction on Iokath with patch 5.2. Hey folks, As we mentioned in our PvP post last week, and on our original 5.2 livestream, when you arrive on Iokath you will be able to choose which Faction you want to side with in the War for Iokath. We know that there will be many questions coming off of this around what this actually impacts so we want to clear up exactly how this works, and exactly what it affects. First, to avoid any confusion: The faction you choose has no effect at all outside of Iokath. It only impacts story choices in the Iokath storyline (and future stories) and some gameplay impacts on Iokath. Let’s start by talking about how the Faction choice works mechanically. You will be able to choose which Faction you want…

Star Wars: Force Arena 1.5 Preview!
Star Wars Force Arena will receive its 1.5 update is comming closer. This update will include some rather drastic changes, and since these changes are going to impact the game on every level, the devs did a preview for us to enjoy. Check out the details and let us know what you think below. Faction Based Rating Points In the next update, we will be separating your ranking points by faction, rather than having them share a rating. We are hoping that this will allow players to unlock the other 50% of the game, as they can swap factions without risking their main ranking points. The points you have already attained will be calculated into your new ratings points. Based on the ratings points on the end of the season before the update, your main faction will receive the exact same rating points that you have. Your lesser faction will receive points in relation…
SWTOR: PvP On Iokath
Here are some more info on Lokath comming with SWTOR Gameupdate 5.2. THis time we get some details on how the open world PvP works Hey folks, With the launch of 5.2 “The War for Iokath” we wanted to be sure to encourage PvP wherever possible. It is a part of the design of the Missions on Iokath that players will be running into each other fairly often. This afforded us the opportunity to make PvP more of a focus beyond just a place for open world PvP to occur. Here are some of the things that set Iokath apart as it relates to PvP: In open world PvP, enemies and allies will be determined by the Faction you choose to fight for, not the faction your Class is a part of. Ex: If you are Trooper who chose to fight for the Republic, you will be flagged as an…

SWTOR: Accessing Iokath
Eric Musco took on the official SWTOR Forums to post some details regarding accessing Iokath in Game Update 5.2. Hey folks, Today will mark the start of us revealing more of the nitty-gritty details of Game Update 5.2. Let’s start at the beginning; who can access Iokath and how do you do so?

You do not need to have an active subscription to play the story content, but in order to have a level 70 you must have subscribed since KOTET launched. Also, normal restrictions still apply, so you must be a subscriber to access the Gods from the Machine Operation. The character does…

A Currency Far, Far Away: Money and the Star Wars Universe
Currency, like religion, is a keystone element of any empire but one frequently overlooked in fantasy and science fiction; after all, slapping a new name on a gold coin is the perfect foil to spending hours working out the macro economics of something truly unique. Star Wars got it right, building its universe around the Galactic Credit Standard, a card-based digital currency forged on the Sojourn moon, and one whose value is at the mercy of war. Galactic Economy Of course, there are plenty of other currencies in the Star Wars universe, Drallish crowns and the Tatooine druggat to name just two, with many of them arising as a reaction to the Clone Wars and the Battle of Endor. In the former case, a lack of trust in the Credit created tens of different currencies; in that, the post-Endor galactic economy has parallels with real-world “cryptocurrency” like Bitcoin, a type…

SWTOR: Why BioWare nerfed Fractured Uprising CxP
Aparently BioWare have more Nerfs up there sleeves. Comming with game update 5.2 Bioware will be nerfing the CXP gain from KOTFE Chapter 1 and 2. Check it out: Why did you nerf Fractured Uprising CxP? | 03.08.2017, 10:27 AM Hey folks, I talked with the team to get the scope of what Mission rewards are changing with 5.2. As some of you guessed in the thread, the following Missions are also having their CXP values reduced: KOTFE – Chapter 1 KOTFE – Chapter 2 Those two along with Fractured are the only Mission rewards that are seeing major changes in 5.2. However, there are other Missions which are receiving minor tweaks as well. Just to set an expectation, beyond 5.2 we will continue to make Mission reward adjustments based on time spent vs reward. Our goal is quite simple, if you play a type of content, you should receive…

The first change we are making is specific Unassembled Gear Pieces will now drop on each Operation boss in the game (except Golden Fury and Colossal Monolith). This means when you kill a boss in an Operation, you will know exactly what is going to drop…
