Game Update 4.0 New Feature: Keybinding Importing and Exporting
Star Wars: The old Republic – Knights of the fallen empire is coming with a cool new feature. With the new game update, players will be able to import and export their keybings. How cool is that? Game Update 4.0 New Feature: Keybinding Importing and Exporting | 09.21.2015, 09:13 AM One feature I pretty consistently see requested is the ability to copy your keybindings from one character to another, so I’m happy to say with the release of 4.0 you’ll be able to do just that. When 4.0 launches you’ll notice a new tab in the preference window labeled “Keybinding Import/Export” from there you’ll be able to save out your current keybindings to a file which you can then load on another character. When you save the keybinding they’ll show up in a list which you can then select to preview and load those saved bindings. The list of keybindings…

Eric Musco has posted more explanation on the forums, on how you can acquire on Nico Okarr in Star Wars: The old REpublic – Knights of the Fallen Empire. Nico Okarr | 09.17.2015, 03:32 PM Hey folks, As I mentioned in my previous post, the plan for getting Niko in Fallen Empire was that you would recruit him into your Alliance as you were playing through the storyline.

If you want to get Niko as a part of playing through Fallen Empire, you can still do that. Just delete the token from your mail and you will get him naturally.

How Nico Okarr works as a Companion
BioWare released more info on the forums on how Nico Okarr will work as a companion in the upcomming expansion for Star Wars: The old republic – Knights of Fallen Empire. Nico Okarr | 09.11.2015, 06:56 PM Quote: Originally Posted by SebastiaanZ So Bioware … another question. At what level will Nico Okarr be available for new toons? Say you start from scratch as a lvl 1, will he be available like HK directly or from lvl 10 like Treek? This is a great question. Nico Okarr works a bit differently than the Companions you are comparing him too. To avoid any spoilers I don’t want to say too much, but you recruit Nico Okarr into your Alliance in Knights of the Fallen Empire, and have him as a Companion thereafter. -eric

SWTOR Conquest Changes in Fallen Empire
The removal of Nightmare Eternity Vault and Karagga’s Palace, isn’t the only news BioWare have for us today. Players can expect some conquest changes in the upcoming expansion. Conquest Changes in Fallen Empire | 09.08.2015, 04:32 PM Hey folks, In Fallen Empire we will be making changes to Conquests so I wanted to let you know about what is being adjusted. One thing that we noticed in looking at Conquests is that not as many players as we would hope are completing their personal targets. We feel this may be because the targets are too high, requiring more time to complete than many players may have available. Because of this we are adjusting the target points for rewards in some Conquests: All Conquests which previously required 35,000 target points have had that target number reduced to 20,000. Titans of Industry will remain at 25,000 target points. Total Galactic War will remain…
SWTOR: EV and KP Nightmare Removal in Fallen Empire
BioWare is removing Nightmare Eternity Vault and Karagga’s Palace with the launch of Knights of the Fallen Empire: EV and KP Nightmare Removal in Fallen Empire | 09.08.2015, 04:24 PM Hey folks, Around launch when we implemented the Nightmare versions of Eternity Vault and Karagga’s Palace, they were not quite the same as the Nightmare modes you are used to now. Basically, those old Nightmare ops were simply the same Operations with more health, that did more damage. With the changes we are making in Fallen Empire, all Operations will now be at max level, this means the differences between Hard and Nightmare EV and KP, just don’t stack up against the difficulty differences found in other Operations. Because of this, we are going to be removing Nightmare Mode Eternity Vault and Karagga’s Palace from the game with the launch of Fallen Empire. This will raise a couple of questions…

Thanks for reading our first installment of Class Change blogs that we will be releasing leading up to the release of Knights of the Fallen Empire. This week, we are going to talk about the quintessential Star Wars™ champions: Jedi Knights and Sith Warriors. In Game Update 4.0, we wanted to increase the mobility of these formidable combatants in order to allow them to realize their full potential on the battle field, and to make them more difficult to kite. The new Knight/Warrior ability – Blade Blitz/Mad Dash – emphasizes this design intention, and Knight/Warrior players will find that they have an easier time staying on target while in combat. Below…

Eric Musco just clarified that you don’t have to worry about class missions from level 1-50 They won’t change with Knights of the fallen empire Class missions removed/altered? | 09.03.2015, 03:10 PM Quote: Originally Posted by Sigiles First off, forgive me if this is a stupid question. Will the class stories, planetary storylines and side missions be removed or altered for the KotFE expansion? I was under the assumption that it will all remain the same until you hit 60 and start the KotFE content, in which you will be “moved” to another instance, sort of.. Say I start a Trooper after the launch of KotFE.. Will that Trooper go through the Trooper storyline that has always been there since launch? Again, forgive me if this is a stupid question.. But I heard something that worried me… Hey Sigiles, If you start a brand new level 1 character, you…
