SWTOR: Pax South Cantina Tour Flash Drive Files
Here are the Pax South Cantina Tour files provided by Baa’nariim of Harbinger. Below is a run through of what attendance learned at the conference. New costume designer coming with patch 3.2 and a video will be added soon. The decision for action taken against ravagers exploiters finalized this morning. There will be a post from musco about it (no specific timeframe on when this will take action or the post will happen) There is no plan to change the new slot machine’s drop rate from its current form.

The giant Massassi looks like an Ops boss, and those twin walkers look like the old twin tanks from EC. Check it out below:

“World First Kill” of Rakghoul Event World Boss on Tattoine
It has happened- the first world kill of the Rakghoul Event. So we know “first kill” claim on a world boss is pretty funny but it’s still an interesting story. They said they were not looking for the boss, but happened upon it while out and about doing something else. The world boss on Tattoine was taken down by a four man group, according to basedlando, who had this to say: “The boss was cool, it’s name is Plaguehorn, we four manned it with people in Dread Master Gear, 1 Assassin Tank, 1 Operative Healer, 2 Annihilation Marauders. A random Hazmat piece drops, as well as a really cool pet, called Plaguehorn Reek. It’s adorable, and requires friend rep level with THORN. We’ve killed it twice, both times the pet drops. We will be killing it more times, just to make sure the pet is guaranteed, or to see if…
