(SPOILER) Companion Conversation Leaked

Companions add a big element to SWTOR and since before launch, this has been something that set this game apart from others. While there has been much arguing over the companions and certain features they should or should not have, most everyone who has played the game will agree that the companions can be a lot of fun. With this we get the companion dialogue, which is true to BioWare story fashion, and always interesting. Something else that has been talked about since before launch is the ability to romance companions and while that has also not been without controversy, it creates an interesting dynamic to the game. The conversations between you and your companions are also full of fun. Companion conversation for Lana Beniko was leaked. Please be warned that the rest of this post will contain spoilers. ***SPOILERS*** Breaking up is hard to do. Or is it? In…

Datamining Yavin PvP Map

Are you curious to know what Yavin is going to be like? It’s a work-in-progress map but thanks to some datamining, we can get some info on what it’s going to be like. As always, keep in mind that datamined info is not necessarily what you will see as a finished product and it’s also the miner’s interpretation of the data. You can head over to TOR Community to see the data in its entirety but here are some things you will find in the summary: Is most likely 8v8. Probably won’t be released in 4.0, but a lot of work has been done on it so possibly 4.1 but don’t hold your breath. Has a VIP, the VIP gets special abilities on a temporary quickbar. Has a game mode chooser that allows someone to choose Bounty or VIP mode. Possibly a CTF mode to but this might just be…

KOTFE Datamined Info

There is a lot of information about KOTFE coming through to us from torcommunity.com. Of this. we have some datamined info about end game gear, something most fans are anxious to see. PvE End Game Gear   This is the set bonus gear in KOTFE for PvE. It appears that you can now mix PvE and PvP armorings to get the set bonus too, however this could be a bug. Previously PvE and PvP set bonuses would not count towards the same bonus. All the below gear contains set bonus armourings (if an armouring is present). Not all Main and offhands are shown due to the sheer volume of them. Some specs have examples to show stat distribution. Stat Change Reminder All main stats (e.g. Willpower, Aim) have been merged into one new stat called Mastery. Surge has been removed. Critical rating now impacts both critical chance and critical multiplier. Critical…
