Electronic Arts’ Battlefront II, the successor to the previous Battlefront iteration, made headlines after becoming one of the most controversial games of the modern gaming era. While it had all the potential to be endless amounts of fun, many felt that the way EA integrated microtransactions made the game a chore to play, and awarded those that spent the most money. With a “pay-2-win” system that saw some of the rarer abilities up for sale to whoever could afford them, there was a time when Battlefront II was built to favour those with the buying power. Large backlash from the gaming community, and even some government officials calling their practices out as gambling, similar to online pokies, EA decided to pull much of the microtransaction systems from the game, and as of yet, the game remains much more friendly to newcomers than it once was. Despite the controversy, Battlefront II…

EA Claims Star Wars Battlefront II Controversy Will Change How They Make Games
Electronic Arts, the publisher behind the 2017 game Star Wars Battlefront II has claimed that the controversy surrounding the game has changed how the company will design and release games in the future. The backlash towards Battlefront II began before the title even hit stores. During the pre-release beta testing mode of the sequel to the 2015 title Star Wars Battlefront, gamers grew frustrated with the in-game progression. EA created a loot box system and in-game currency which could be used to purchase new and improved heroes which were not based on player performance. Some of the most iconic heroes in Star Wars history were initially locked out for players and, as Polygon claimed at the time, players were expected to put in 40 hours in-game in order to unlock characters like Darth Vader. The anger grew, especially when EA attempted to solve the problem. The company’s customer service department…

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes: Upcoming Sith Raid Changes
The team over at Star Wars: Galaxy of heroes are making some changes to the Sith Raid. All very good changes to the Sith and Tank raids. Actually, it seems like Tier 6 will end up getting best changes for players. Favorable changes on DN and Traya’s kits and mod salvage will be available in that tier. Not to mention reducing the health pools for all the bosses. I would be a little disappointed in that if not for the fact that I have a 7 star Traya now so the Sith raid isn’t quite as important to me, outside of the g12+ salvage, but that is going to be a grind to craft full pieces (as it should be). Upcoming Sith Raid Changes Check it out below: Hi Holotable Heroes, Two weeks ago I mentioned that we were getting ready to reveal some changes coming to the Sith Raid based…

Here is the patch note for that: Quote: Galactic Starfighter matchmaking has been improved to better account for player experience along with their currently selected ship loadout. Prior to 5.9.2 the match maker would build a game around the player who had been in the queue the longest. It would then try to add players with a similar loadout score (Loadout score being based around the best ship…
Star Wars Slot Machines
Many casino software developers have created slots based on popular movies and TV shows. One such software company is IGT. The developer has moved into producing popular games based on TV shows and movies, with popular titles based on box office hits over the past 30 years. Software providers have always been keen to produce online slots based on popular movie franchises, with many succeeding in converting some of the biggest movies into fun and thrilling online slots. Microgaming has produced quite a few, as well as NetEnt and Betsoft, to name a few. Getting the license to produce these games can be a tricky and expensive process, so when a software developer gains the rights to produce a game based on one of the biggest movie franchises of all time, people sit up and take notice. One of the most popular movies to hit the box office is no…

Star Wars: Force Arena – 8/9 Update Details
Tomorrow will see a new game update For Star Wars: Force Arena. This update features adjustments made on the arena to improve the overall experience of the game. For details, please see below: ■ Game Mode Balance Patch 2 vs 2 Arcade Mode Balance improvements were made to the popular 2 vs 2 Arcade Mode. In this mode, there had been a strategy to constantly strike an opponent’s middle turret with an airborne support card and a specific leader. It was decided that this undermined the strategic diversity and fairness of the game. Therefore, in this patch, the amount of damage to the middle turret and Shield Generator will be adjusted while the effectiveness of support cards in general combat is maintained so that Squad Leaders can enjoy a fairer 2 vs 2 Arcade Mode. ■ Balance Adjustments A Balance Patch has been made on the cards listed below. All numbers listed…

It was a hard fought Season and we look forward to seeing you around the fleet with your weapons, mounts, and flairs.

SWTOR: Fix for the Lana Beniko Marriage Bug in 5.9.2 (for past and new romances)
Charles Boyd, Creative director for Star Wars: The old republic, just announced a fix for the marriage with Lana Beniko. Hey everyone! I wanted to share a more detailed update about the Lana marriage bug that cropped up with Update 5.9, and how we’ll be addressing it with Update 5.9.2. When the dev team originally implemented the variable that stores whether a given player character has chosen to marry Lana or not, a bizarre quirk of the tools caused that variable to not be set permanently, even though we told the tools to do so. As I’m sure you can imagine, we found this quite frustrating, and have thus destroyed said “quirk” via ruthless orbital bombardment to ensure that this doesn’t happen again. From now on, characters that are in a romance with Lana who play through the Solo Story mode of the Nathema Conspiracy Flashpoint will have their decision of whether…
