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.

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. Thanks especially to those of you who have hopped on to take a moment to run through Story / Veteran modes, as it’s arguably even more important that we get those adjustments correct! Alright. Onto the refresh notes: General: The Ossus Daily Area is now ready for PTS testing, and for the first time players will be able to access the area! *pokerface*Just open…

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…

Concept Art for Revan: The Legend, the Hero, the Cash-grabber, the Whale-friend.
Last Friday the Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes developers revealed that Jedi Knight Revan will be joining the Holotable. Here is a behind the scenes look a few SWGOH developers share the process of how we created Jedi Knight Revan – a character you may have played embodied in Star Wars™: Knights of the Old Republic (KotOR) DESIGN INTENT – CG_TopHat (Live Producer) Revan is one of the characters most often requested by players, so this was definitely an exciting but also serious challenge for the team. The most important thing about developing Jedi Knight Revan is to make a character that lives up to the idea of who the character was to fans of KotOR. As KotOR enthusiasts know, in the classic game, players could make decisions over the course of KotOR that resulted in their version of Revan becoming a Jedi Knight. How do we capture that feeling? How do…
