The guys over at CAPITAL GAMES have started the initial roll out and if everything goes smoothly, tomorrow they will update everyone’s client with the new features, new characters and several quality of life changes.

Check out the video below for a brief overview but you’ll want to read through below to understand how the mechanics of this specific bundle works. Philosophy When we launched Galaxy of Heroes, player level 60 was considered the “end game.” Today, much of the end-game content is accessible starting at level 85. As the game has evolved, your collection is really what determines your progress in the game rather than your account level. We’ve heard from many of you in previous Dev Q&A’s that it’s important we focus on improving the new user…

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes Developer Insights: Malevolence

Q: What is the Malevolence?CG_M: Malevolence is a massive Subjugator-class heavy cruiser used by General Grievous as his flagship in Clone Wars tv show during the Malevolence arc of episodes. Right at the start of the series, the Separatists use their super weapon to terrorize the galaxy and control where the Republic can engage them.

Reasons To Check Out OSRIC
For Old School Reference and Index Compilation, the OSRIC RPG is a fantasy role-playing game system. Jolly an assignment help writer says, OSRIC is what is known as a retro-clone in the Old School or OSR (Old School Renaissance) revival, in that it is as legally as possible a faithful copy of the First Edition of the world’s most popular role-playing games, Advanced Dungeons . It’s been a topic on social media recently, and unfortunately not in a good way, because of a kerfuffle about some negative comments by one individual, not formally associated in any way with OSRIC’s authors or creators, about the laudable and evolved decision by Wizards of the Coast, the current creators of Dungeons & Dragons, to promote and encourage inclusion and diversity in the game. It’s an ideal that we should all embrace, and one that I strongly support as a four-decade-long player as correctly…

He plays a significant role in the Clone Wars TV show, as a leader and mentor, and proves himself far more level headed than the rest of the Jedi by advising caution and reason in most dangerous circumstances.

Star Wars Fan Short with 70s Look and Feel is Definitely Worth a Watch
Dark Empire Episode 1: The Destiny of a Jedi is a recently released short film from WilkinsAnimations. With a run-time of approximately 12 minutes, it’s definitely not the length that makes it stand out. Instead, it’s unique, 1970s-era animation style and great story line are what keep you interested. In fact, the short is so good it actually feels like a teaser – just casually wetting your appetite for a full-length episode. The creator does have additional episodes in the works, which is exciting because this talented artist may be able to bring in a big enough audience to capture the attention of the likes of Lucasfilm Animation. The story follows an adventure featuring Princess Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, C-3PO. R2-D2, and Luke Skywalker. The events take place a few years beyond the battle of Endor. A new, unknown disturbance within the force has appeared in the galaxy, threatening all…
The Mandalorian is Driving People to Disney+ Streaming Platform
There are lots of reasons to join Disney’s new streaming platform, Disney+. If you’re not familiar with it, think of it as the Netflix of Disney. It has everything from the classics to new releases, Marvel and Pixar, as well as Disney. But there is one show in particular that has a lot of people- especially Star Wars fans – flocking to the new streaming network. The Mandalorian. It’s a weekly episodic Disney+ original about a lone gunfighter who makes his way through the outer reaches of the galaxy. It has mixed reviews, with Slate saying, “It Looks Great, But So Far It Isn’t” and “has a big budget but little imagination”. Maybe we’re just super hungry for some new Star Wars content but most of the people I’ve talked to so far have enjoyed it. Maybe Slate was just being a bit overly critical… But despite what you think…
Star Wars Fan Film: Stormtrooper Target Practice
It’s fan film time again! You know how I love those. This one from Millquas Movies is so worth the watch. It’s a great concept, acted and shot well, and it’s truly comedy gold. It’s not new, but even if you saw it years ago, it’s worth watching it again. The first annual Storm Trooper Target Practice. Fan film made for the Star Wars fan film awards, 2015. Check it out: “You’re kind of tall to be a stormtrooper…” “Sorry sir, it won’t happen again.” Hilarious one-liners everywhere. This would be an amazing series. I’d tune in every week to see what shenanigans the Stormtroopers were getting into next. Seriously. What do you think? I thought it was a fun little short (under 8 mins) and now it has me daydreaming of my ROTC days if we were all Stormtroopers… haha
SWTOR: Crafting Changes Coming in December (6.0.2)
Eric Musco just took on the forums to inform the SWTOR community about upcomming changes to Crafting in Star Wars: The old Republic: Hey all, We have been reading your feedback since Onslaught launched (and of course from PTS beforehand) on your feelings on the current state of crafting. We agree with your feedback that it isn’t where we want it to be either. There are quite a few changes planned for 6.0.2 in December and we want to give you a preview of those changes today.

We are making the following changes: Premium and Prototype material requirements have been reduced to 6 each (down from 10). Artifact material requirements have been reduced to 12 each (down from 15). The requirements…

Who is Ninth Sister? How does Darth Vader tie into Jedi Fallen Order? Let’s find out. Check out the video for yourself here. Up until recently, we have not had a lot of information released about Jedi Fallen Order. They’ve been pretty tight-lipped about it, which is typical with these games, honestly. But in this video, we get a recap of all the things we know about the game so far. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a game where we play the Inquisitors? A Star Wars game where we can play…
Star Wars: The old Republic Nearing $1 Billion in Lifetime Revenue
Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR), a MMO developed by BioWare that released in late 2011, is apparently still a commercial success for EA. A recent earnings call from the publisher revealed that the game is currently coming very close to topping $1 billion in revenue. Now, that is over the course of about 8 years, but it’s still impressive nonetheless. SWTOR was an insanely expensive undertaking for EA to begin with. Reportedly, the game set the publisher back roughly $200 million for initial development costs. With that number alone, one would assume that translates to EA raking in nearly $800 million in pure profit, right? Well, keep in mind that the game is still being continually updated with new content, patches, and so on. There are STILL ongoing costs for development of the game. So, how much profit has EA actually pulled in with Star Wars: The Old Republic?…
