New system for cartel packs and dark vs light packs

Apparently some people got updated data files early but the servers were not updated which caused them problems. Didn't effect me, But to make sure everyone can play and is on the same page they've just shut the servers down for early updating. So chapter 16, Guss and new packs system should be online early. Maybe I'll get chapter 16 done on Tai'kou before I have to go to work tomorrow.

Not gonna happen for me. It will be around 3:30am when servers come back on, so I still have to wait til tomorrow afternoon. :: SIGH ::

Hopefully it will be fun when you get to it!

Latest results: Light 51.6%, Dark 48.4%

Tai'kou has gotten former smuggler companion Guss, completed Knights of the Fallen Empire, reached Champion and Elite ranks of Dark vs Light event.

Knights of the Fallen Empire ended about as I expected.


Edit: I forgot there's a bonus chapter 17 coming for long term subscribers in which they play the droid HK-55 on a mission.

Good job

Give you some idea how much I would have to do for Legendary (the last level), and why I'm not doing it, after completing Heroic, Legacy, Valiant, Champion and Eternal that's only 51% of Dark vs Light achievements. The the remaining 49% are Legendary requirements.

From comments I've seen on swtor.com about chapter 16 its seems

Trivia: the actor who voices the male jedi consular in SWTOR also voices the human player character and one of the evil elder dragons in Guild Wars 2. I haven't played that game since I got into SWTOR.

I guess when they said "Legendary" they meant it!

Light 52.01%, Dark 47.99%

Edit: I guessed wrong about other comp with Rusk. Looking at achievements I discovered Skadage, a bounty hunter companion, has more possible points now but how to get them isn't show, Probably you get some points for accepting him when you meet him getting Rusk and more points for rejecting him. To get all points you have to do the alert on two different characters and make two different choices.

Some people have been complaining about no major results of choices made in KOTFE. Somebody predicted it is Knights of the Eternal Throne which will reveal the results of choices and one developer responded "interesting theory" with s smiley face. There are actually some results of choices now. One big one I haven't seen yet because I havent finished KOTFE on a darkside character but I've read about it.

The livestream (which I missed) featured a video teaser Knights of the Fallen Empire Subscriber bonus chapter which a fan put on Youtube

Thanks, Guybrush

Today's update is supposed have fixed the broken flash point so you can keep the end game boss in the fire.

Hope it works!

I suspect the people who go around claiming Star Wars: The Old Republic is dying, when its actually more popular now than its ever been are the same nuts who claim World of Warcraft is on its last legs. I love how these "dying old games" keep coming out with new expansion. And World of Warcraft even had a movie made based on it. They wouldn't be spending money on expansions if they didn't expect to get it back and more.


And BTW the only reason the planned expanions to Guild Wars "Utopia" wac canceled and replaced with Guild Wars 2 is the developers wanted to do things their old game engine wouldn't support. I'd rather have had Utopia of course.

Hey guys, is KOFE's quests F2P or I need to buy it to play? Will it be free, when new story season start?

Nohiltes, I'll bet Guybrush will know.

Knights of the Fallen Empire requires a subscription. I think the play first chapter free offer is still valid right now though.



Somebody in swtor.com forum says Depths flashpoint still bugged for Dark vs Light. Last time I did it, before the update was supposed to fix it, I found that you have to get the end boss in the fire just long enough to burn its shield off or you wont be able to kill it. Once shield is off keep it out of the fire. In solo mode its actually harder to get it in the fire than to keep it out because the support droid you get is a tank and will drag it into a corner away from the flames unless you keep attacking the boss so it follows you into the fire. BTW the fire does a small amount of damage to you, but the droid is also a healer and will take care of that.

Thanks, Guybrush, I knew we could count on you for an answer
