On January 17th we’ll be getting out first major Star Wars: The Old Republic game content update! How awesome is that? You can read the full article over at AskAJedi.com, but for now, peep out this trailer!
So you have a lightsaber, good job! Now are you tired of the blue/green/orange/yellow/red crystals? Well, then its time for you to head over to AskaJedi.com and follow the steps in order to get a Magenta Crystal! It’s a bigger task than just killing a single mob – so under take at your discretion!
I’m hoping more different colors filter their way down the levels, but I’ll be happy with some different ones at 50!
If you’ve crafted at all while playing Star Wars: The Old Republic you are fully aware of that little ‘Reverse Engineer’ icon in your inventory. I’m sure you’ve clicked on it a few times, and maybe even used it to unlock Blue or Purple versions of your crafted items – I have to, but its so damn frustrating at the same time!
Darthhater.com reported earlier that there a great number of changes coming for PvP (via a conversation with Principal Lead PvP, Operations & Flashpoints Designer Gabe Amatangelo), a blurb below – but follow the link for the full story:
Combat Gameplay: You’ll see several optimizations come online in January, and we are going to continue to tune this as time goes on.
We also have other exciting features coming in the near future including Ranked Warzone Matches, PvP Stat Tracking, Open World PvP Loot Drops, more Warzone medals for different objectives, Guard Optimizations and Target Optimizations.
Additionally we’re looking at ways to enable team vs. team, more level brackets and the ability to choose which Warzone you want to play in.
There are few other things to say on this, the official launch date of Star Wars: The Old Republic from Bioware! It’s been a LONG, LONG time coming – and while most of us (all?) have already been playing via our illustrious pre-order/head-start access, today’s the official date.
Be sure to enter your product code once you get it – and go, swoop down into the battefifeld of one of the great saga’s ever created!
I’ve never played WoW, so I’ve missed out on the hacking destruction that comes along with account issues – but from what I can gather, there’s always hacking and misc game issues with passwords, etc. So, looks like Bioware/EA is following the standard of having some extra security issues (other than your password, and those somewhat annoying account security questions).
Not only is there the physical key that you can buy (or pre-order, but they are supposed to start shipping 12/15) for a whole $4.99each, or you can wait and get the free iOS iPhone App (is also supposed to be released tomorrow the 15th), both can be seen down via the following link.
Here we go! Today is the first day of the Star Wars: The Old Republic headstart! While who knows who is getting in today (or when for that matter), we should all be thankful for the fact that the day has arrived (more or less).
Good luck on getting in, getting your names, and having a blast!
