SWTOR Game Update 5.10.1 is Now Live on the PTS

SWTOR Thoughts on 5.10: The Good, the Bad, and the Eeehhhhhs [Full Spoilers]

Editor

Happy new year!Now that that’s out of the way, it’s finally time for me to turn my attention to going over as much of what came with 5.10 as possible. Since this was a fairly major story patch, the most significant we’ve had since 5.0’s nine Eternal Throne chapters, I decided to enact my “one-month spoiler-free” safety window, hence why it’s taken me so long to get around to posting this. Of course, as is the way of things, this ‘safety protocol’ was rendered somewhat nullified as BioWare promptly began churning out full spoilers for the appearance of a certain character on their website and social media channels. I can’t say I blame them, as this move will undoubtedly attract several long-gone veterans just for this update alone.Anyway, on with the stuff. ~~~The GoodOssus: The Characters I’ve already touched on the returning companions in this post, so I won’t touch on them again here.

Old School vs. Latest Gaming Technology

Soeren Kamper

If you were born in the 1970’s you must remember family time hunched over a huge console playing TV games until the birds came out. TV games made its appearance in 1972 but only wowed gamers in 1975 with the release of Atari’s Pong game. Electronic entertainment has seen a widespread mass effect. People of all ages and creeds buy into the mass market of gaming purely for the kind of entertainment it affords players with. It’s a whooping serving of Miracle Whip on a burger, steadily focused on a pure outcome, which is pure enjoyment. This breakthrough in technology kicked off a trend that very few could have anticipated, and even today, retro tech is hot news. Let’s look at how electronic entertainment has evolved over the decades. Military Invention In the 1960’s the US government wanted a device that would enhance the reflexes of military personnel and developed…

SWTOR Lead Writer Charles Boyd explains the KOTFE backstory.

Soeren Kamper

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…

Soeren Kamper

If there is one thing BioWare is good at, it is story. Actually I’ll go as far as saying that it is the best story creating video game creating company in the industry. Here is the prove. a short story on Vaylin and Senya written by our main man Drew Karpyshyn. Senya braced herself as she began her descent; the polluted atmosphere of Ord Mantell made turbulence common. Tightening her grip on the controls, she fought to stabilize the shuttle as it rattled and bucked. A sharp, high pitched beep rose from the back of the ship, the various machines hooked up to Arcann’s unconscious body in the makeshift med-bay signaling in protest as they were jostled by the rough ride. She was coming in fast and steep, making the turbulence worse. But the longer she stayed airborne, the greater the chance sensors from the surface would pick her up. The…
