Community Topics
- Unassembled Components and Legacy – Something we are interested in doing, havn’t decided if that is something we are doing. Most commonly requested feature.
- class changes.
- Command XP after the event – Command XP boost will stay after 5.2 launches. Base XP will be lower but they are giving CXP back to enemies.
- Spending tokens, unassembled pieces, and unassembled components – Vendors will show gear for your discipline by default but you can switch it to show all for alts etc.
Warbound Crusader Pack
- These items will be coming next Tuesday with 5.2
- Everyone is on Iokath for the Superweapon and resources they need to continue the need to either Republic or the Empire on Iokath.
- companions are tied to the story, and not dailies/reputation.
- Season 8 PvP will go on a bit longer, no date on end date.
- You just need to be level 70 to access Patch 5.2 content. Which means you must have been a subscriber in the past but don’t need to be a current subscriber.
New Daily Area
- Opens up once you finish the story, which is not repeatable.
- You can collect currency in the daily area and use them to command walkers, stationary turrets, Iokath monitor droids, and mouse droids.
- Player vs Player – even though you make a choice in the story to Empire/Republic, everyday you can log back in and pick a side to for daily activities. This allow you to work on both the Empire and the Republic Iokath reputation tracks.
- Unfortunately you cannot team up with players of the opposite faction that picked the same faction to but they will be friendly to you.
- When you kill players on Iokath, they will drop Iokath currency like the regular NPCs but you are not stealing their Iokath currency.
Gods from the Machine – Tyth
- Being in playtesting for a long time by multiple guilds. Lots of footage on youtube if you type Tyth
New Galaxy Map
- Wanted to improve the experience of the Galaxy map. Old map was pretty but clunky.
- You can access this quick travel from any planet to another planet via this new galaxy map.
- Starts next Thursday, they will be there on Friday from 7-11 PM.
- They will have a contest inside the Cantina for players to try and beat Tyth. Players in the teams that beat Tyth will receive some special prizes.
- They are also giving away new t-shirts and Tyth posters.
