SWTOR Lead Writer Charles Boyd explains the KOTFE backstory.
Earlier today, current lead writer of Star Wars: The old Republic, Charles Boyd took on the forums explaining the backstory of Knights of the Fallen Empire Is it wrong that, revisiting SoR, made me think what the hell went wrong w KotFE? | 06.30.2017, 12:40 PM Quote: Originally Posted by DarthDymond One of my absolute favorite lines from the vanilla game is when you encounter the Emperor in the Jedi Knight’s story and he gives his big villain speech about out why he wants to be an immortal god: “You discern a fraction of reality. Beyond these stars exist other galaxies, other worlds, other beings. I will experience or ignore them as I wish. I will spend eternity becoming everything: a farmer, an artist, a simple man. When the last living thing in the universe finally dies, I will enjoy peace and wait for the cycle to begin again.” That is a villain I can easily believe was already…

SWTOR: Dread Warlord Pack Changes
Eric Musco just informed the SWTOR community that Bioware will be making changes to Dread Warlord Packs that is coming tomorrow. Dread Warlord Pack Changes | 06.26.2017, 03:37 PM Hey folks, With our last Cartel Market pack, we made some changes to how drops worked. New pack items would only contain Silver or higher rarity so that we could really focus in one quality and the other slot was a guaranteed Grand Chance Cube. The feedback we heard pretty quickly from many of you is that due to those changes, packs didn’t feel quite as rewarding when you opened them. We agree with that sentiment and we want to continue improving this process going forward. The Dread Warlord Pack contains some changes we hope will address your feedback. Each pack now will now contain 5 slots, instead of the previous 4. Here is what each slot looks like: Guaranteed new…

SWTOR: Class Changes: Corruption Sorcerer / Seer Consular
Eric Musco from Bioware has posted a list of the planned changes for Corruption Sorcerer and Seer Consular coming in Patch 5.3. Class Changes: Corruption Sorcerer / Seer Consular | 06.22.2017, 08:21 PM These changes will undoubtedly look and feel harsh to players who have been healing on their Sorcerers / Sages for a long time. The healing changes for Sorcerers / Sages pull the Corruption / Seer discipline down to the target HPS. We say the target HPS instead of their target HPS because all three healers have the same target HPS. In future balance patches, the other healers can expect to see changes to their healing capabilities as well to ensure they are in line with the target. Note: All changes below are currently in development and are subject to change before being released. Sorcerer Reduced the amount of healing done by Dark Heal by 4.86% Increased the…

SWTOR: Class changes: Nerf vs. Buff
Our bellowed community manager for Star Wars The Old Republic Eric Musco, took on the forums today answering an old question on nerfs vs. buffs off classes. Check it out: Any time that nerfs happen during Class balance, there is a common question we receive “Instead of nerfing , why not buff all of the other Classes up to their performance?” This is a really good question and we want to try to explain to you why we handle balance this way. From that thread, the main point you need to understand is that we balance Classes/Disciplines based on specific DPS, HPS, and DTPS targets. Now, those balance targets not only dictate Class/Discipline balance, but they dictate balance across all combat in the entire game. Every Mission, Operation boss, piece of gear, and more is all factored around those balance targets. Let’s say that our hypothetical target for Ranged Burst…

Star Wars: Force arena 1.7 Balance Changes
Star Wars: Force arena comes with a new update that will bring some more balance changes to the game. These balance changes come from player feedback and also match data. Before we jump into the changes, let’s take a quick look at the stats of our newest units, the Imperial Sentry Droid and the Phoenix Squadron. Imperial Sentry Droid Phoenix Squadron Galactic Empire Boba Fett Boba Fett is one of the galaxy’s most notorious bounty hunters. However, his excellence in the battlefield has yet to truly be explored in Force Arena. We are improving his movement speed allowing him to catch his enemies and will also increase the power of his flamethrower. We hope that this will bring more justice to one of the galaxies greatest bounty hunters. ▷Movement Speed Increased from 2.5→2.8 ▷Flamethrower attack increased damage by 50% Imperial Royal Guards The Imperial Royal Guards are entrusted with defending the…
Star Wars Battlefront 2 Trailer recreated in Battlefront 2 2005
Here is something pretty awesome. Youtuber Angry Ewok had to much time on his hands, and decided to recreat the complease Star Wars: Battlefront 2 trailer showcased at EA play last week. Check it out: As as stated in the beginning, this is both crazily awesome, and sad at the same time. I haven’t played BF2 for some time, and I don’t remember it looking this… bad. Part of that is because I am remembering the parts of the new Battlefront 2 and how they’re similar, and thereby comparing them in my mind even if I don’t realize it… And I am comparing these graphics to the graphics of the new game, and the gap is so wide it makes these seem even worse. But that is just me rambling. Star Wars Battlefront 2 is slated for release on November 17 for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 with a $59.99 price tag….
