Lost legendary player status in SWTOR
Eric Musco have posted some clarification on official forums regarding the lost legendary player status, that apparently have a bug. Lost legendary player status | 03.11.2016, 03:25 PM Hey folks, We have seen quite a few reports of players who have lost their Legendary Status following Game Update 4.2 on Tuesday. First, a reminder of what Legendary Status is. This system was put in with Knights of the Fallen Empire as a reward for players who had completed all 8 Class Stories all the way through Act 3. We wanted to make sure that their efforts were rewarded, beyond just Achievements alone. Along with the KotFE launch, we also introduced Start at 60 tokens. Unfortunately, there was a bug where sometimes a character made from a token would grant a completion for Legendary Status. This was not intended as that character never played through and completed Act 3. With Game Update…
SWTOR 4.3 PTS #3 Warzone and Arena Change List
BioWare posted an update on the new changes for the Odessen Warzone and Rishi arena in SWTOR PTS 4.3 version 3. Check it out: 4.3 PTS #3 Warzone and Arena Change List | 03.11.2016, 02:02 PM Designer Note: Thanks to everyone who has tried out the new warzone on PTS, made videos, guides, etc. We are blown away with the support y’all have shown and want to thank you for your enthusiasm.

Gameplay Footage of Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic Unreal Engine 4 Mod
If you have not seen it already, here is the first ever gameplay footage of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Unreal Engine 4 remake by Apeiron. One thing I really like that he also points out in the video is that it’s from a first person view. I love first person in games like this and I’m very glad they went in that direction with it. They did say it will also be 3rd person so for those who don’t like the first-person view, you’re good too. They do a great job at staying true to the original and it looks like a solid game so far, while of course it’s still in a very alpha development stage. I think from the looks of this very first gameplay footage, it looks very promising. Upper City Taris and Tatooine look great. In the footage, you can even see the…

DARTH MAUL: Apprentice – A Star Wars Fan-Film
Here we have an awesome Star Wars fan film for you. This is a non-profit, unofficially fan film that was created just for fun but we gotta say, it’s one of the best we’ve seen so far. The running time is under 20 minutes so it’s a fairly quick watch that packs a big punch. It’s creative, well acted, has great sound and a professional quality look and feel. It also has a good story that we can really get into. If you’re a fan of Darth Maul, we really think you’ll love it. It even has a lightsaber duel in the first four minutes and it just gets even better after that. Awesome! The quality is top-notch and the excitement is high level and the suspense is intense. The musical background plays this all up even more and all in all, it’s just a fantastic short story. It will…
DICE Says Free Patch Coming before Outer Rim DLC
Mat Everett of DICE announced on Twitter that the March free content update will release before the Outer Rim DLC. While Season Pass holders will get early access to Outer Rim, it’s still uncertain if this free update will come before the early access or before anyone at all sees the Outer Rim. This is good news for many players, as some speculated there would be no new free content with the DLC dropping in the same month. So that’s good news to see there will be new content all around. @SWBFNewsFR Our March free content update will release before the Outer Rim DLC. — Mat Everett (@sledgehammer70) February 23, 2016 There has also been some chatter from Dennis Brännvall, lead designer at DICE, about new heroes and other details from the game and the DLCs. He also confirmed that you will be able to use the new heroes on the…

Outer Rim Set to Land This Month
According to many, DICE’s Star Wars: Battlefront failed to live up to some of the pre-launch hype and expectations, primarily on account of a rather glaring lack of depth. Fortunately, that problem is one that can be righted on the go and that’s exactly what the developer is looking to accomplish by adding no fewer than three DLCs this year and another one in 2017. The first such DLC is scheduled for March, and given how there will apparently be a free update preceding it, we’re looking at a wealth of new content coming online this month, content which is obviously much-anticipated and much-needed too at this point. The March Battlefront update is set to deliver the usual selection of bug-fixes and tweaks, along with a new Endor map aimed at big game modes as well as a survival map for Tatooine. Exactly what the DLC will bring to the…
Dead Rising 2 Nude Mod – The Nude Twins Take Over! (NSFW)
Dead Rising 2 is already packed with chaotic zombie-slaying fun, but if you’re looking to add a bit of spice (or skin) to your next playthrough, the Nude Twins Mod might be just what you need. This mod takes the famous Twins from the game and gives them a completely new, and let’s say, uncovered look. Let’s dive into what makes this mod unique, why it’s caught the attention of the Dead Rising 2 community, and how you can add it to your game for a fresh, if slightly risqué, experience! What is the Nude Twins Mod in Dead Rising 2? The Nude Twins Mod is a cosmetic modification that replaces the default outfits of the twins, Crystal and Amber, with nude character models. This is purely a visual change, and while it might not add any new weapons or alter gameplay mechanics, it certainly changes the way you view…
The Academy, Ep 5 -“How Do Companions Work?”
Another episode of The Academy is out and this time we get to learn about companions. I’ve told you before how much I love these videos. They are actually recorded from a podcast and then set to video which is why especially in the first few, you also hear another voice talking with her or saying “mhmm” now and then. But anyway, they are really great, useful videos for anyone new to the game. If you have a friend or family member you’ve been trying to get into the game, or someone you know who has just started to play SWTOR, you definitely want to turn them on to these videos. So here in Episode 5, Swtorista talks about one of the most unique features of SWTOR – the companion system. Companions can do a lot for you in SWTOR but if you’re new to the game, you might have…
Actor Who Plays Finn wants a Battlefront Story Mode
So the actor who plays Finn in the new Star Wars film, John Boyega, wants to see a Star Wars Battlefront story mode. I cannot say that I disagree with that at all actually. As the lead actor tells EA, it gives a more enjoyable way to learn controls”. Again, we have to agree. Boyega says how he has been a fan of the series for years (why are we not surprised) but he definitely makes a valid point into why Electronic Arts should have added a story mode. It’s safe to say that many people who play (or those who are thinking about picking up the game) could benefit from a story mode. Sometimes you just feel like playing single player and again, it’s a good way to give them a feel for the game when just getting started. There would be several benefits to this type of game…

Starkiller from The Force Unleashed Cosplay
More cosplay fun – you know how we love this stuff! So here we have found another awesome Star Wars themed cosplay that we are happy to share with you today. Here we have Starkiller from The Force Unleashed: Starkiller I really love that this one has so many pictures and includes photos from the process and not just the completion. While the end product is great, it’s also fun and interesting to see how people make their costumes and cosplay parts. The creator says it was his first cosplay and I have to say, it’s very good quality for that. He was very creative with the materials and how he chose to use them. He also gives some tips about making cosplay costumes to the 501st or Rebel Legion standards. It will make it easier for you, which is something I have heard from a lot of other cosplayers…
EA Teases Future Star Wars Games and More
You know how we love Star Wars games and we know you do too. Now EA is giving some indication that we might have some more Star Wars games on the way soon. CFO Blake Jorgensen said this week that Battlefront, mobile game Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes, and free-to-play MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic did “extremely well” in 2015 and will continue to perform well in the time ahead. He then goes on to say that the sky is the limit for Star Wars games and the brand, which really is not a surprise to anyone at this point. EA has the license to the brand for the next 10 years and with the new films coming out as well, we can bet they will do all they can to make the most of this opportunity. “We see it as a great start–building a strong base of people that…
The SWTOR Eternal Championship will be Delayed
SWTOR Eternal Championship is delayed, and will not part of Patch 4.2. Read hwy below: The Eternal Championship | 03.04.2016, 10:27 PM Hey folks, We have been doing a lot of internal playtesting on the Eternal Championship and it is currently not at a level that we believe our players deserve. In keeping with our commitment to offer the highest quality experience possible with our latest expansion, we have decided to delay the launch of the Eternal Championship. We are focusing on overall balance, ensuring each boss fight is challenging, endeavoring to exceed quality expectations, and most of all, making sure it is a fun experience.

Really Cool Darth Revan Cosplay from Katsucon 2016
You know how we love Star Wars and SWTOR cosplay here and you know how we love bringing you really awesome projects from other Star Wars and SWTOR fans. Well, here is another one of those that combines both of these. This is an awesome cosplay of Darth Revan from Katsucon 2016 and he’s shared pics with us, as well as other details about the sabers, photos and more. His costume was commissioned from WickedArmor.com and we know about the quality of work they put out on cosplay items and I belive the lightsabers are custom made from Zia Sabers. So it’s a win-win all around for this beauty. Below is information from the owner, as well as pics of him in the costume. What do you think? I love how many different interpretations of Darth Revan there are out there. I mean, the premise is the same, of course,…
Star Wars: Battlefront – New Easter Egg Found In Twilight On Hoth Map
There’s an Easter Egg in the new map for Star Wars: Battlefront, Twilight on Hoth. The new map was added with the February update and it gives some hints that EA might have listened to the fans and decided to add tauntauns to the game. Unlike other Easter eggs found in the game, this one is a full size image, which hints that it might mean it’s coming in the game as a mount. It’s probably one of the most asked for items in the game. It’s a frozen, full size render of a Tautaun and one user got this on video so if you haven’t seen it yourself yet, here you go. What do you think? Could it be a sign of things to come? Is it just a little novelty for players who pay close attention while they’re roaming the frigid lands of Hoth?
Star Wars Humble Bundle II
Here is your chance to get KOTOR 1 and 2 if you hvae not already, and there are some other great awesome games. I wrote before about the last Star Wars Humble Bundle and I’ve expressed before how much I love this service. You get great games at discounted prices, you get to support charity and support the developers. I’ve gotten some awesome indie games from here that I never would have heard about otherwise, too. But anyway, back to Star Wars! Get the Star Wars Humble Bundle here before it goes away. As of the time of writing this, you have 3 days left to snag your bundle. It includes: The Star Wars Bundle strikes back. It is a bright time for Star Wars fans.

SWTOR: PTS Warzone and Arena Changelist
Odessen Warzone and Rishi Arena is going through some changes on the SWTOR Public test servers. Here are a list of what has been changed this time: Odessen Warzone Performed a small optimization pass on Odessen Warzone visuals. Designer Note: We are expecting a slight increase in client performance while in the Odessen Warzone with this update. The update included removing the VFX that plays your team’s color while in a Control Point area. We are still performing additional optimization passes but wanted to get this out into the wild to see how it played. Control Points are active for approximately 90 seconds, up from the previous 75 seconds. Designer Note: We found that players didn’t have enough time to react to changes during a round and that this would allow more time for attackers to remove defenders. In Round 1 only the three middle Control Points (Defense Cannon, Cantina,…

SWTOR The Voice of Blizz
Have you ever asked yourself what Blizz from SWTOR would sound like with a human voice? Okay, maybe not but now is your chance to know. It’s the voice of Fred Tatasciore and the video shows clips that have been slowed to a point where you can recognize his actual voice if you’ve heard it before. He’s a very talented voice actor, well known for doing creature and monster voices. As we’ve mentioned in a previous post, it’s very interesting to learn more about the voice actors behind some of our favorite and most loved Star Wars characters. As for Fred Tatasciore, he is the best of the best. He’s done voice acting for many very popular movies, television shows, and of course, video games. You may know him from the Gears of War series as well. He’s had voice acting parts in all of the following Star Wars related games: Star…
