Do Many Star Wars Fans Love Gambling?
There is a connection between people who like online video games and people who like online slots. Lots of people who enjoy one enjoy the other. Statistics have shown links between the two and we’ve seen this apparent in pop culture in a variety of ways. While we won’t likely see a casino added to SWTOR any time soon, you can enjoy some of your favorite slots from the comfort of your own home with online casinos. People also bet on the Star Wars film before The Force Awakens was released and there’s a good chance they will continue to place bets on future films, especially with all the records that first movie has been breaking. It’s an exciting topic for people. Just how some bet on the Superbowl every year (even if they’re not regularly sports fans) there are also people who will bet on Star Wars simply because…

Star Wars Casinos
Casinos are a place where individuals can come together to gamble. This is not a new concept in the Star Wars world. We saw gambling mentioned in the original films in a variety of ways. It’s been a part of Star Wars canon all along. It’s not a surprise that there will be some crossover in people who like Star Wars and people who enjoy gambling and the casinos. We’ve talked before about how it would be cool to see more Star Wars gambling or casino games worked into our favorite Star Wars video games but with Disney at the helm now, that’s even less likely to happen. Disney seems to think that gambling (even virtual or just for fun) sends a non-family-friendly message that they don’t want to be associated with the franchise. So for now, if you want to enjoy some of your favorite casino games, you’re probably…

Star Wars Pokies Should Make a Comeback
If you have not had the privilege of experiencing one of the popular Star Wars pokies, you’ve really been missing out. Even people who aren’t huge fan of slots found these fun if they liked Star Wars. There were a variety of games like those to test your Jedi skills, mega jackpots, and more. As we told you about before, Disney decided the Star Wars pokies were not family friendly and a couple of years back, decided to shut them down. This was a very sad time for many fans because the Marvel and Star Wars slot machines were some of the most popular around. Disney may feel like it wasn’t suiting to their family friendly image but it was the adults who enjoyed these games and the people who grew up on the original Star Wars movies are adults now. In fact, it is those adults who have kept…
SWTOR: No Conquest for the week of Feb 2-9
Due to bugs, conquest for the week of Feb 2-9 is cancelled. Hey everyone, The team has finished looking into what has caused this week’s Conquest to not start properly. Unfortunately, the issue is a bit more complex than we have experienced in the past with Conquests. Due to this, we will be implementing a fix for this with Game Update 4.1 next Tuesday. This means that there will not be a Conquest this week, as we work to address the issue. We apologize for any inconvenience. -Tait

Items stack limit raised to 9999 with SWTOR Patch 4.1
Eric Musco just informed us that Game Update 4.1 will increase the stack limit of items from 99 to 9999. Good call if you ask me!

Although we aren’t adding new bays at this time, one change to help with storage is that any item which previously stacked to 99, will now stack to 9,999. This change is coming in Game Update 4.1 Thanks! -eric

January SWTOR Story Livestream Notes
BioWare posted a video yesterday featuring Charles Boyd and Alexander Freed. The video go over the story in Knight of the fallen empire, and upcoming content we can expect with chapter 10. KoTFE Recap Storytelling in games has the unique of challenging of having players able to see and know the villain without placing players in the same room as them as they would be dispatched quickly by the player.You need to get the villains upclose to the players to be a significant presence in their life. It would be hard to imagine Star Wars Ep4 told from only Luke’s perspective. Vader would just be a random Tie Fighter pilot. Vaylin is an unpredictable villain. She is difficult to pin down, you never know what she is going to do next. You got lots of serious figures like Arcann being very stoic. So seeing her and Arcann act entirely different…
Star Wars: The Old Republic at “Highest Subscriber Level in Three Years”
In the Electronic Arts Reports Q3 FY16 Financial Results, it is mentioned that STAR WARS: The Old Republic grew to its highest subscriber level in nearly three years in Q3 last year.

Changes to Start at level 60 Armor in SWTOR
We missed a forum update by Eric Musco late last night, but Start at 60 armor granted to new characters will become bind on pick starting with patch 4.1. Hey folks, Right now, when you make a brand new Start at 60 character, the armor that your character is wearing is Bind on Legacy. This has allowed players to make characters with the purpose of moving that armor appearance around to other characters. What we have seen on our side is that this has created a large increase in players creating characters just to get the armor sets, and then deleting those characters. This has created a negative impact on the data side. In order address this, we need to make some changes to how that gear works. Starting in Game Update 4.1, the gear that comes with a Start at 60 character will be Bind on Pickup. This change will…
Changes to Cartel Market Packs with SWTOR Patch 4.1
Eric Musco updated the community on the changes Coming Cartel Market Packs with 4.1 Hey folks, As you may know, our Cartel Market team has been making constant adjustments to how packs work, since our rework in Fallen Empire. We have heard in the past few months a lot of feedback from players that they really like the functionality of the “Grand Packs.” Think of anything from the Bronze, Silver, Gold Packs to the old Grand packs we released last year. Because of this, we are making some changes to the new pack which will release with 4.1. Currently when you open a Cartel Market pack, this is what you receive: 2 items from the pack (Mounts, Decorations, etc) 1 grade 5 or 6 Companion Gift 1 Scrap When you open the new Firebrand Pack in 4.1 you will receive the following: 2 items- either a new item from the…
Crafting Changes in SWTOR Patch 4.1
Eric Musco just posted a forum update about the crafting changes players can expect with Patch 4.1. With the release of 4.0 we made a pass at focusing and streamlining Crew Skills and with 4.1 we are continuing this effort. We want crafting to remain an important alternative to Mission and Operation gear. With the release of 4.1 we are releasing an alternative to the KotFE gear. This new tier of gear will be the best craftable gear that does not require exotic crafting materials, and to support this tier, we are introducing a new grade of crafting materials and missions. With this new change, we want Crafting to remain an important alternative means to collecting the most powerful gear in the galaxy – whether you’re looking to gain an edge in combat, or turning a tidy profit on the Galactic Trade Network.
