SWTOR: Masterwork Gear Changes in patch 5.10
Here is a new post by Eric Musco on how Masterwork gear will work with SWTOR Patch 5.10 Check it out: Hey folks, For those of you who are familiar with current Masterwork gearing plans from PTS, you will notice some changes. Otherwise, this may be an introduction to how all of this will work in 5.10. Throughout this post when I refer to Masterwork gear, I am referring to the new 252 and 258 item rating gear being introduced in 5.10. Based on our initial implementation there were a few key things we wanted to address: Getting Masterwork gear solely from PvP was more difficult than we would like. The implementation encouraged working directly to 258 while skipping 252. We don’t have a problem with this, but it made getting any gear upgrades more challenging and expensive than desired. By “stair stepping” up to 252 and then 258 there…

The Concept of Money in Star Wars Universe Explained
When it comes to money, our routine life and soft science fiction are kinds of antipodes. The first one is based on objective reality, the second is totally built on imagination. Being a crucial aspect of reality, money is often simplified in sci-fi movies, especially in those which tread a fine line between fantasy and adventure fiction. Their plot may revolve around social inequality, power, money-related crimes, or relationships between rich and poor, but never revolves around money itself. Thus, it may be hard to grasp the role of money in a fantasy movie. Star Wars belongs more to a space opera genre rather than to sci-fi, being focused on moral, political and spiritual issues instead of revealing an economical side of the universe. But today we are going to uncover the concepts of currency, trading system, and making money in the Galaxy. Currencies in the Galaxy First of…

SWTOR Bolster Plans for 5.10 and Beyond
Whenever we introduce new gear to the game, there is an inevitable conversation about what changes will be made to Bolster. As I mentioned in this thread, our original intention in 5.10 was to take Bolster and move it to 248. That thread along with the rest of the forums led to a lot of great feedback from all of you on how you feel about the state of Bolster, should it be higher, or lower, etc. That brought us to sit down and really look at what we want from Bolster now and going forward and so we are going to make an additional change. Let’s talk about why we originally landed on 248, where we are going next, and why.
SWTOR Guild Leveling in 5.10
Eric Musco took on the forum, informing the community about upcomming guilding levering changes comming with game update 5.10. Check it out Hey folks, In Game Update 5.10 we will be introducing a brand new system to the game, Guild Leveling. Guild Levels tie heavily into both Conquests and Guild Perks, so please look out for forum posts on both of those other topics to get the full picture of what is changing! Fair warning, there is a lot of information to cover so expect a fairly long post. Here is a TLDR for you: Guild Levels are earned via Conquest Points. As you gain levels you can slot perks into your Guild Ship to provide a variety of benefits, leveling also gives you new benefits for XP, CXP, and Reputation gain. What is Guild Leveling and How Does it Work? Guild leveling is fairly simple at its core. Similar to a player…

SWTOR 5.10 PTS Refresh #3 Operations Notes
Here is more changes to the Machine operations coming in game update 5.10. The patch is currently playable on the public test servers. Onward we go, brave testers! There’s a skip button for Nahut down now, as well as delicious 258 gear! The components are a little trickier, but I have confidence that you all can handle the execution complexity. As a warning: This is likely the last refresh where Tyth will be playable. We need to start pushing forward and picking at the later encounters, so earlier encounters are going to start becoming unpullable as we go forward. General: Tier 5 Legendary Gear (258) is now available from purchase from ED-5E L at the Odessen landing area. There is also a vendor selling 258 components. To try and ease the total run time of the GftM operation in non-master modes, the health of non-boss encounters have been reduced by…
SWTOR 5.10 PTS Refresh #2 Operations Notes
Here are the latest patch notes for the SWTOR Public test server. These patch notes mainly focus on operations: Build system gremlins do indeed seem to be firmly under control, therefore we’ll be able to get back to a much regular update cadence. Still, due to the lost time we’re going to be accelerating the pacing of stuff a bit (at least on the operations side of things) just to make extra sure we can get eyes on stuff with enough time to iterate/implement feedback. Tyth: Apologies for the inversion nonsense, that should be fixed now. Ditto for the questionably functional skip button, which should also be fixed now. Inversion’s pull is getting a threat multiplier to offset the DPS loss to make tanking a little more stable. You may still experience some token panic for the first GCD after a pull (when multiple people are pulled), but it should…

The 10 Best Star Wars Video Games, Officially Ranked
Star Wars is arguably the king of sci-fi epics. But when it comes to video well they aren’t exactly “king”. This, however, does not mean there ain’t some good video games out there which revolutionized the gaming world. Just like the popular roulette games out there, you will find some great Star Wars video games. Here is a look at 10 of the best Star Wars Video Games. Episode One: Battle for Naboo. The Battle for Naboo was an unfairly underrated gem. This might be because it was based in Episode 1. It was first released in November 2000. The game was ship shooter released on the N64 and PC. It included land, water and aerial combats. Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader This game allowed you to join the most daring pilots of Star Wars including Luke Skywalker. It lets you join in the cockpit as you and other pilots…

The server gremlins came out in full force, conspiring to keep us apart… While their eventual defeat was inevitable –for love indeed conquers all –it doesn’t lessen our longing in the meanwhile. Second, thanks a ton to everyone who’s been hopping on the PTS. We’ve had a loooot of activity.

The Guide to Star Wars Porn Parodies
As with any cultural phenomenon, Star Wars has porn parodies. A lot of them. Turns out that there is something ridiculously kinky about watching some aliens ‘go at it’ on camera. But, alas, we are not ones to judge. While it is impossible for us to go over every single Star Wars porn parody that has ever popped up over the years, we do have a few ‘favourites’. Star Babe This is actually a unique porn film. Apparently, it realized that Star Wars would be a cultural success and was launched the same year. However, it does not follow the same plot as the movie. You do get introduced to Darth Vader and a Stormtrooper, who of course end up using the ‘force’ on a hot babe. Wookies also make an appearance. Sex Wars Now we are getting more into the ‘actual’ Star Wars territory with this 1986 porn parody….
Sci-Fi Themes and Online Slots: A Perfect Match
A couple of decades ago, sci-fi fans used to be few and far between – but not any more. As the popularity of different franchises keeps growing, thanks in part to mega hits like the Star Wars saga and the revival of superhero movies that Marvel and DC are competing at, we have also seen a wide selection of video games based on sci-fi themes – including online slot games. The Immense Appeal of Sci-Fi Online Slots Science fiction is one of the most influential genres, with spin-off merchandise created across several popular franchises. It usually starts with books that give rise to movies, or movies that turn to animated series, and in between an amazing array of merch for die-hard fans, ranging from the usual mugs and t-shirts to paraphernalia only the true fans would go for – like a mini fridge depicting Han’s most hopeless moment. Ever since…
