SWTOR Roadmap Timing Update from Keith
SWTOR’s new game Producer Keith Kanneg took on the official forums today to provide an update on Game Update 5.2.2 coming mid June, as well as to explain why there is a delay to the promised Roadmap posts. Check it out below: ► Update on Roadmap | 05.09.2017, 04:07 PM Hey everyone, Wanted to provide an update on my first Producer Roadmap, but getting it published is taking longer than I anticipated. Partly my own fault, as my Dad came to visit and I took a few days off over the past couple of weeks to spend time with him. This ultimately slowed my progress but I am back in full swing now and pushing to get the roadmap completed. I honestly thought I would have had the roadmap done and communicated already, but, I realistically need more time to finalize it. Translated: That means end of this month, but with full intention…

SWTOR Producer Keith Kanneg’s update about long maintenance situation
Keith Kanneg had a rough star as new game producer for SWTOR. Yesterday he had to handle the first majoer issue since he started his job, as the BioWare team had to expand the maintenance window for Patch 5.2.1. Maintenance: May 2nd, 2017 | 05.02.2017, 02:46 PM Hey everyone, Wow, what a day trying to get everyone back in the game! As you already know, maintenance today has not gone as planned. So, I felt it was important to jump in and discuss what’s transpired and what’s going on. First, during our initial validation steps this morning, anyone using BitRaider to update the SWTOR client quickly discovered nothing was actually downloaded. This delayed the opening by about an hour. Second, as soon as we were ready to verify everything was working properly (around 11:30am CT), we found we couldn’t connect to the game and were receiving a Login Server is unavailable message. Unfortunately,…

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.

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…
