Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes talkes Shoretrooper Event Return & Leaderboards

Here is the latest from Star Wars: Galaxy of heroes: Return of Shoretrooper event The Shoretrooper Squad Tournament is returning for its second appearance! We recently made some changes to the ways that tournaments function, including the way Ally Points are now used to refresh your characters. Tournaments now use ALLY POINTS for squad refresh instead of Crystals! Battle your opponents, earn points and climb the leaderboard to earn prizes including “The Pit” Raid Prize Boxes, Credits, Omega Ability Materials, and shards for the Rogue One Shoretrooper. Don’t forget There will be a 5000 Ally Point gift to get you started! To mitigate an unintended behavior, the defensive squad can only be set once per Tournament and matchmaking has been improved. To further minimize a group of players attacking each others squads for an easy win, any opponent that the player has earned points from will not appear in matchmaking…

5 Questions About Rogue One

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story comes out next month! Now that we’ve passed Halloween and flipped our calendars to November, we can officially say that. For the second year running, a brand-new Star Wars movie is headed our way in December, and it’s safe to say that fans of the franchise are eagerly anticipating the release. And the latest trailer showed off broad, beautiful glimpses of a film that looks like far more than some flimsy side project. This should definitely be thought of as a full-fledged Star Wars movie, even if it’s not part of the core series. And if that’s the case, we all have some questions! It would take many, many pages to cover some of the speculation going on about what Rogue One will bring us and what it will mean for the greater Star Wars universe. But to sum up some fun speculation, here…

SWTOR Crafting in Eternal Throne

We saved this story a few days, but Eric Musco updated the community  on the details of crafting in 5.0. As we discussed yesterday on the livestream, one of the goals of crafting is that it will be a mechanism where someone can gear up an alt, catch up to their friends, or even gear an off-spec. With the launch of Eternal Throne you will find that there is a new grade of materials and higher level items which can be learned from your Crafting Trainer. For endgame crafting, the intent is that you will be able to craft items which are within 2 item rating of the best gear in that tier, but without a set bonus. The exception to this rule is tier 1, where you will be able to craft items equivalent to the best item rating in that tier. All of the gear that you craft…

Eric Musco has posted some more details of the cartel market pass compensation wich is in preparation for the next major game update: As we discussed in my previous post, the Cartel Market Access passes are all being removed from the game with Knights of the Eternal Throne early access on 11/29.

Important Information Abut Cartel Market Passes in SWTOR

Eric Musco had another update on the official forums today, as he just infomed the community that that all cartel market passes will be bound on legacy from tomorrows patch 4.7.3, and removed with 5.0. Hey folks, One of the things that we have talked about last week is our new Galactic Command system, only accessible to subscribers at Level 70. Galactic Command will serve as the single point of access for subscribers to earn rewards playing endgame content such as Operations and Warzones. As of the release of the Knights of the Eternal Throne, rewards from this gameplay is gained via Galactic Command, therefore passes are no longer viable. For example, a preferred player with a Weekly Pass: Operations would be able to play an Operation, but would not earn any rewards for doing so. Due to this change, we have removed all Passes from the Cartel Market. The following passes…
