Onslaught: Is It Kill Or Cure?
There aren’t as many people playing SWTOR as there used to be. If you’re still a regular player, you’ll already know that. The game isn’t denying- despite unhelpful articles that refer to the Electronic Arts’ Star Wars’ games as a ‘sinking ship’ – but it’s way past the peak of its popularity. You can see that without even logging into the game to check it out. When the game’s official Twitter account announced that ‘Onslaught,’ the seventh expansion pack, will be released in September 2019, the response was less than enthusiastic. The Tweet failed to reach a thousand likes, had barely over two hundred re-tweets, and a little over one hundred comments. All in all, it doesn’t suggest that there’s a massive base of players out there, waiting to seize on the new content and jump back in. Given the declining numbers, we’re faced with a question. Is ‘Onslaught’ an…
SWTOR reducing some of the limitations for Free-to-Play and Preferred players
Next month BioWare will be reducing some of the limitations for Free-to-Play and Preferred players in Star Wars: The old republic. Read all about it here: Upcoming Free-to-Play and Preferred Changes In Star Wars: The Old Republic there are three different ways players are able to enjoy the game – as a Subscriber, Free-to-Play, or Preferred. Free-to-Play– Players that have not spent any money and have access to the original storyline of the game. Preferred – Players that either used to be Subscribers or have spent money on the Cartel Market. Subscription – Players that pay a monthly amount to access all gameplay content of SWTOR. While the team is hard at work revising some systems for the ‘Onslaught’ Expansion, we also wanted to show some love to the Free-to-Play and Preferred players. Most notably these changes will be to the credit cap, Quickbar, Medical Probe, and Quick Travel limitations. Let’s take a…

How can EA ensure Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a success?
When video games based on movies get announced, they are often not greeted with high expectations from fans. This has been the case for many years, and there doesn’t appear to be any sign that things are changing, but there’s always been at least one exception. Star Wars video games have been on both sides of this debate, with titles like KOTOR, Battlefront and The Old Republic receiving critical acclaim, while others have ranged from mediocrity to outright awful. The next big title to hit the market will be Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, which was announced at E3 in 2018 and will be released towards the end of 2019. So, how can EA ensure that the latest franchise offering is a complete success? Here are some of our top suggestions that could help Fallen Order prevail and meet the expectations of those already waiting for it. Limit the bugs First impressions count for…
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order – Recap
As you know, there has been some fun and exciting news coming out about Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. It will (hopefully) keep getting better from here as we see more information coming out about the game. Here’s a bit of a recap of some of the things that have come out this week about Jedi: Fallen Order. We finally saw the release of the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Official Gameplay Demo – EA PLAY 2019 which was very excited (but also left us with a lot more questions. Gizmodo did a story on how the Star Wars wipe we saw in Jedi: Fallen Order was apparently a nightmare to create. Respawn’s lead technical designer, Brandon Kelch, said: “The wipe in film is so easy—well, I don’t know if it’s easy, but in film you just take two different pictures and you have them both and you just wipe…
Characters I’d Like to See Introduced or Brought Back in Onslaught
The SWtOR community has been buzzing recently about the new details regarding the “play what you want, how you want” gearing system that is Spoils of War. While I, too, have been caught up in the whirlpool of hype (and confusion), I am choosing to wait until we actually get to see this new stuff in-action on the PTS before I offer my thoughts on it here.Instead today I’m turning my attention to something I care about far more than gear, and that’s the in-game story characters. I’ve been thinking a great deal about who I’d like to see, either brought back or introduced for the first time, on Onderon and Mek-Sha and I just thought “hey, why not make a post about it?”Obviously, some characters are a given. Darths Krovos and Malgus, Empress Acina, General Daeruun, Jonas Balkar, Major Anri, Moff Pyron, NR-O2, Tau Idair, and Vowrawn are all definitely going…
How to Find More Games Like SWTOR
BioWare’s MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic was first released in 2011, and it quickly became the fastest growing MMO to be released. Since then, the game has been updated many times, going from a paid subscription to free to play, and updates have added new content such as player-versus-player combat, new classes, and new planets. These updates have helped SWTOR to stay fun for the thousands of players who still play it often. However, eight years isn’t a short amount of time, and those who have been playing all this time may be looking for a new sci-fi, RPG, or Star Wars game to entertain them. Other Star Wars titles As well as SWTOR, publisher EA has many other officially licensed Star Wars games for you to play. EA has also published two Star Wars Battlefront games, allowing players to fight against or with the rebels and play as…
Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes: The Grand Arena Championships
Here are the news from Capital Games on the Grand Arena Championships. No one still have a clue what it is about, ot at least what the GP divisions is about, but Wall of text will crit you. Grand Arena Championships are a five-week series of Grand Arena events and Feats. Our goal is for the experience to feel like a normal Grand Arena event with a few bells and whistles, and then gradually ratchet up the competition and drive for the players who make it up to higher leagues in later events, until by the end of a Championship, it feels like the sharpest competition that the game has to offer. In this post, we’re going to talk about GP Divisions, a feature that enables us to curate the best experience (AND relevant rewards) for all Grand Arena players regardless of their time in game or collection size.

Firefox vs DuckDuckGo vs TOR: Which Is the Best Browser for Privacy
Whether you realize it or not, your online security is almost always at risk and this is constantly increasing. Government surveillance, marketing data collection, and scammers all pose a threat, so it’s no wonder the online privacy industry is worth $12 billion! Securing your browser is one of the easiest ways to protect yourself from those who try to view or steal your sensitive information. We’ve had a look at three popular browsers – Firefox, Tor, and DuckDuckGo – and have put them to the test to determine which is the best browser for privacy. TOR TOR (The Onion Router) was developed by US Navy researchers for anonymous communication. Tor is now a not-for-profit organization with a goal of researching online privacy and developing tools to support this. Pros TOR uses a three-layered encryption process. Anyone trying to view your usage would just see traffic originating from a network of…

Asmussen recently did an interview with PlayStation Official Magazine (June 2019, issue 162) where he revealed that the team is buzzing with energy and that he believes the game is already fun to play. He says: To say we’re a mash-up crew is an understatement, but everybody has a really high pedigree….

Cool Arcann and Vaylin Cosplay – SWTOR
It’s been a while since I’ve stumbled across some really awesome cosplays to share with you guys. But now we have one… and I’m telling you, it makes up for not having seen any in a while. This awesome Arcann and Vaylin is really impressive! Some have called them the most depraved siblings in Star Wars, and others have said they have the most dysfunctional family in the franchise. One thing’s for certain: they are definitely interesting! And I can see why they were chosen for this really fun cosplay. The attention to detail is fabulous. They reported they spent about a week on the armor parts and a day on the cloth parts.
