SWTOR Game Update 4.6a Patch Notes
With a new game update comes new bugs, so BioWare will rolling out a patch next week to fix some of the issues brought on by Patch 4.6. 4.6a Patch – Tuesday, July 5th 2016 | 07.01.2016, 09:24 PM Hey everyone, As Eric mentioned on the stream yesterday, we are putting together a patch to go live next week that will address a few issues that we’ve seen since the release of 4.6.

There’s no Star Wars themed slot machine – but we’ve got the next best thing!
Star Wars would make an awesome theme for a slot machine! It has everything – missions, characters, a Light and a Dark side, lasers, fights, as well as greedy gangsters and idealistic statesmen. Unfortunately, Lucasfilm only approved a land-based slot machine based on the franchise, and Disney has removed that one, too – probably with the goal of making the SW universe more kid-friendly (although the number of blasted stormtroopers and severed limbs makes it a less than ideal story for a kid, I think). With no such thing as a SW slot machine, fans with a taste for such games have no choice but choose alternatives. Today I’ll show you the one I love the most – also inspired by an epic cinematic universe. Battlestar Galactica Battlestar Galactica combines the journey theme from Star Trek with the epic visuals and dogfights from Star Wars. The original even looked like…

SWTOR Cartel Pack Changes with the new GEMINI Pack
Eric Musco just posted some clarification regarding the cartel pack changes with the newest GEMINI pack: Cartel Pack Changes with the GEMINI Pack | 06.29.2016, 01:47 PM Hey folks, Yesterday, we made a few changes to how Cartel Packs work with the release of the GEMINI pack. I want to share the changes that were made to the pack. Grand Chance Cubes/Bronze Items The primary feedback we have heard from players over the past few months is that you would prefer to receive Bronze items rather than Chance Cubes. For that reason, one of the first things you will notice is that we have re-introduced Bronze items back into the Cartel Pack. Although you can get amazing items out of the cubes, we took your feedback and made the following changes: We have introduced multiple Bronze items into the GEMINI Pack. To allow for the addition above, the drop rate of…
SWTOR Max Character Slots to be expanded to 50
BioWare is considering expanding the max amount of character slots to 50 in Star Wars: The old Republic. This is to accommodate the Dark vs Light event. Maximum Character Slots Per Server | 06.28.2016, 03:07 PM Hey folks! One of the questions that came out of the Dark vs. Light Event announcement was the current maximum character limits per server. There are some players who have all 40 slots filled, and were concerned about participating in the event. I wanted to let you know that we are actively testing right now the possibility of increasing that maximum by 10. That would mean that a subscriber could have a server maximum of 50 characters. We are exploring if this is a safe change to make and I am hopeful that I will have an answer about this today. As soon as I have any other information I will pass it on….
